My Perfect Outfit
Polyvore is so awesome. I love how you can create certain looks by mixing and matching products from your favorite stores. You can go all out on Polyvore, incorporating all aspects of [your] life in your creations. I like to keep it simple when creating, but I have seem some really awesome ones out there.
Today I created “My Perfect Outfit”. Lately I just love the look of a skirt with funky socks or leggings and a simple graphic t-shirt (which, when it’s cooler I would wear with my Million Ways Eliza Parker wrap or a black boyfriend blazer—one that I have yet to find, but I’m still looking!)
Right now I’m also completely in love with Chuck Taylors. I am determined to get a bright colored pair for the spring/summer months, but for now my mock black ones do just fine.
Everyone knows that I carry my camera almost everywhere I go. There’s no other way to do so, stylishly, than with an Epiphanie Bag. The Clover is to die for, and in gray I just completely believe it was made just for me. You know? me being in love with the monochrome, and all.
I firmly believe that outfits are made with accessories. Belts, scarves, sunglasses, necklaces, and earrings are my favorite, and they add a great personal style to the simplest of outfits.
Currently I’m obsessed with wearing multiple necklaces, so when I saw this layered asymmetrical crystal bib necklace, from Sorrelli, in antique silver, I fell in love. And, of course, nothing would look better—in my opinion—than a matching pair of big hoop earrings. When I’m not wearing my favorite (go-to) fleur de lis earrings, I’m wearing big hoops, and I just MUST. HAVE. these Snow Bunny hoops!
Stay tuned for more installments of “My Perfect Outfit”.
With Gratitude in a Hat
My trip to BlogHer09 was enhanced by a few companies that reached out and put an ambassador hat on me. I don’t know if you know it, but I wear hats really well.
First and foremost, Lane Bryant, one of my favorite plus size clothing stores for my plus size body, came through with a $100.00 gift card that was used in conjunction with a $50.00 off coupon. They also sent me a great bra that make ‘the girls’ look like they never even suckled one baby, let alone FOUR!
Not only was LB good to me in the way of sponsoring a supplement to my wardrobe, I was treated very well at both store locations that I visited. As a matter of fact, I am always treated very well by the associates of that store. They are almost always plus sized women, too, and that really makes me feel welcomed, accepted, and understood.
I got the most compliments on this outfit, and I even wore the skirt twice. I know, I know, mortal sin, eh, but it’s comfortable and I love it so. Lane Bryant, I consider us kin. After all my last name is…Lane.
The next ambassador hat that I donned was from Yummie Tummie. At first I didn’t know how I felt about Yummie Tummie. I’m glad that I measured myself before choosing the size that was right for me. But, yeah, at first I was a little ambivalent about the shape wear. After wearing it for a week, though, I do like how versatile it is. I like how pulled together it makes me feel, and it’s a whole lot easier to put on compared to my Spanx. I’ve been a shape wear fan for many years. I’ve always loved to wear body suits under my clothes because I just don’t like to feel the flabbiness. No denying I am plus sized, but–dammit–if I feel pulled in, I feel awesome.
Out of no where I got this email from one of my sister-friends, Angie. She put me in touch with Lily Oswald from Sorrelli Jewelery. I had the hardest time deciding what to pick to wear because everything is just so beautiful. I ended up with this set:
Thank you to all three of these companies for letting me represent them. They contributed to making me feel even more beautiful at my first BlogHer experience.
