Bathing Beauty

Happy Monday all!

Bathing suit season is quickly approaching which can cause anxiety for some of us ladies.   For many years I would avoid wearing a bathing suit and when I did, I would only wear a suit with a skirted bottom. I honestly thought the skirt was hiding my thick thighs and bodacious booty (it wasn’t lemme tell ya! LOL)   So while on my cruise last August, I decided to throw caution to the wind and go without a skirted bottom.  This was the first time I had ever conjured up the nerve to venture out without a skirted bottom. At first I was scared because my security skirt/blanket was gone but after  a while I completely forgot about it.  After that I decided to never go back to a skirted bottom.  Uncovering my lower half was another step in accepting my body, thick hips and all!

Now that I’ve “liberated” my hips (lol), I’m looking  for new swim suit for the Summer. Plus size swim wear has come such a long way.  Now there are chic, trendy choices for suits that still provide coverage and support.  There are now bathing suits with fun prints and bold colors to reflect your personality.  Below are a sample of some of the fantastic options out there.  Which one is your favorite?

Have a wonderful day!

White Hot

Happy Monday all!

I think it’s safe to say that white shoes can very polarizing…you either love or hate them.  I’ve been on the fence about white shoes for years. Lately white heels have made a fashionable comeback which has renewed my interest in them.  So when I  found these cute Marc Fisher kitten heels marked down from $69 to $40 at Macy’s I had to scoop them up!

Fabulous Faux

Happy Hump Day all!

While scrolling through Pinterest last night, I came across GarnerStyle’s pin of this AMAZING Wilsons Leather faux leather jacket.  I instantly went “whoa!” and put it on my Must Have list for the Fall.  The jacket got me thinking about how far faux leather has come.  They’re no longer grainy and cheap looking jackets.  The jackets are now made with quality materials that mimic leather so much, you wont believe it’s faux.  The new faux leather jackets are better constructed to fit the plus body so you can move around without feeling stiff.  Better quality means a longer lasting jacket that can be worn year after year.    The faux leather jacket I bought from Kohl’s last year is still in great condition and has no signs of wear.

Adding a faux leather jacket to any outfit instantly adds edge and polish to any outfit. Try it with a  maxi dress or  jeans to update your look.  It’s one closet staple you’ll wont regret having!

Do you have a faux leather jacket? How do you wear it?

Have a great day!
