Crop It Out

Happy Hump Day all!

Reason number 500 to love Spring: cropped pants!   Their versatility is the reason why I love them so.   Whether you pair them with a blazer for work or a tank top for running errands, you can’t go wrong.  Cropped pants are an easy way to add print and color to your Spring/Summer wardrobe without the extra fuss.   Also they can be  a  cooler alternative to wearing jeans in the stifling  Summer heat.  

Are you a fan of cropped pants?

Have a wonderful day!

Office Party Shine

Happy Hump Day all!

The holiday season always makes me want to  dress up, so I decided to add some glam to my outfit today for my department’s Christmas party. This sequin shirt from Eloquii was a perfect choice because it has just enough sparkle that doesn’t overwhelm the outfit. Pairing it with my herringbone slacks and  teal jacket tones down the sequins and makes it work appropriate. I didn’t want to wear plain brown shoes so slipped on my favorite leopard print heels (hey I’m pattern mixing!). I then added gold accessories to complete my outfit.

Speaking of glam, if you’re still looking for that perfect holiday dress IGIGI has some wonderful deals for you! From Thursday, December 20th until Wednesday December 26th, take 20% off dresses with the code TIME2SHINE. And don’t worry about paying extra for shipping, IGIGI is offering free shipping and returns on all continental US orders until December 30th. No minimum to ship and no code needed…isnt that great?!

Have a wonderful day!

Date Night

Happy Monday all!

My post today is not a work outfit! Shocking right?! (LOL!)  This is what I wore on my date Saturday night.  I really liked what I wore so I asked my date to take my picture (thanks Kobe!). One of my early New Year resolutions is to post more casual outfits to change things up abit.  Im excited for the upcoming year and the plans I have for the blog.

Have a great day!

My Style Inspiration: Stylish Curves

Happy Hump Day all! Hope everyone is getting ready for Thanksgiving tomorrow!  I’m headed to NYC  later today to spend the holiday with my family.   We always have a great time together so I’m really  looking forward to hanging out with them.

Today I’m featuring one of my favorite bloggers  Alissa from Stylish Curves.  I discovered Stylish Curves browsing through the internet while  out on FMLA last year.  Alissa’s blog opened up a world of plus size retailers  that I didn’t even know existed.  I instantly became a fan of her “Style Journey” posts featuring her in  fabulous clothes.  Prior to discovering her blog, I didn’t think plus size women could dress fashionably.  Alissa totally crushed that belief and Ive been a loyal follower since.

Alissa  is also a staunch advocate for plus size women within the fashion industry.  Recently she was on Good Morning America discussing  how plus sized women are perceived and overlooked in fashion. Alissa wasn’t afraid to speak her mind and voiced many sentiments we  feel about the industry. Her presence on GMA was important because it contradicts many stereotypes that continue to exist.  Alissa was beautiful,  poised and confident, something many people don’t see plus size women as.  This is why she  is my style inspiration!

Please show Alissa some love and check out her blog Stylish Curves!

Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!
