Fun In The Sun

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a fun holiday weekend!

On Memorial Day, my nephew Frederick and I headed to Atlantic City for the Beyonce concert (he had tickets). After we checked in, we decided to hang out on the beach. I usually avoid bathing suit pictures but after seeing other plus size bloggers embrace their wonderful bodies in “fatkinis”, I decided to show my suited body. This is my FIRST time wearing a tankini. While I’m nervous about putting myself out there, I feel I need to do this. This is huge for me because for the first time in my life I accept my body.

Have a wonderful day!!!!

Stepping Up

TGIF!!!

This past week, I was going through my sandals and I noticed something…they were all FLAT! Over the years I convinced myself that I would fall if I wore wedges or heels, so I shied away from them. Now Ive decided to move outside my comfort zone and add some height to my summer shoe wardrobe. Here are a few pairs of shoes I’m loving right now.

Are you going to give wedges or heels a try this summer? Have a great weekend!

Maxi Summer

Happy Hump Day all!

One of my favorite summer items is the maxi dress. The maxi dress is so versatile and comfortable. Add heels and a fun clutch and you have a date night outfit . Add a light blazer or sweater and you have the perfect casual Friday outfit.

Here are a few maxi dresses I’m currently loving. Which dress do you like and how would you wear it? Have a great evening!

Daydreaming Takes Me Where I Want To Be

Happy Monday all! Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. I took full advantage of the the warm weather and hung out with my goddaughter Skylar on Saturday. We had fun eating ice cream and being silly!

Lately, I’ve been daydreaming about taking a beach vacation. My last beach vacation was Grand Cayman in 2010, so I’m seriously overdue for a relaxing break. My outfit today is inspired by my need for a vacation. When I’m on vacation, I like to wear comfortable and colorful clothing. So, I decided to go for a nautical look by pairing my white trouser jeans and light blue striped shirt together. I added my pink blazer for a pop of color. I finished the look off with my 5 year old yellow wedges. Although I’m dressed for the office, I can pretend I’m on vacation!

What have you been daydreaming about? Have a great evening!
