Old Habits Begone!

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a great weekend and enjoyed the fabulous weather!

This week I’m all about bold prints, stripes and color. Lately I’ve slipped back into my old habit of wearing dark colors. The problem with old habits is that they are very easy to return to. Old habits are so comfortable and familiar that before you know it you’re sucked back in. Making change and sticking with it can be a lot of work but as they say “no pain, no gain!” My outfit today is a commitment to change and breaking old habits.

How do you combat old habits? Have a great evening!

Pastel Power

Happy Hump Day everyone! Hope your week is going well so far!

In the past I wasn’t a fan of pastel colors mainly because of the “rule” that plus size women shouldn’t wear light colors. So being a good follower, I avoided pastels like the plague until now. A few weeks ago I was on Talbots website and they were having a 90% off (yes 90% off!) sale. The crop pants that were originally priced $79.50 were on sale for $7.50! I was like “oh yeah I’m getting these” but they only had my size in the light green color. For a second I hesitated but decided to get them anyway. Buying these pants was another step in breaking fashion rules that I’ve allowed to control my clothing choices. The pants are more of a spearmint green color which looks great with my yellow flutter sleeve blouse. The blouse is big on me so I belted it at the waist to give it shape. I added my chunky green necklace and sliver flats to round out the outfit.

Will you give pastel colors a chance this Spring? Have a great evening!

Pretty Peplum

Happy Monday everyone!

I’m loving peplum this Spring! It’s an all-inclusive trend that flatters all body types. It’s also great to wear to work.

Casual Friday/Loving the Blues

TGIF everyone! I hope everyone has great plans for the weekend!

Although I still go to court on Friday, I can be a little free with my outfit choices. I got this blue printed maxi skirt from Old Navy a couple of weeks ago and I thought it would be perfect for casual Friday. I think it’s such a fun skirt that can be dressed up or down. I plan to get ALOT use out of it this summer. To keep the skirt work appropriate, I dressed it up with my white cowl neck shirt and denim blazer. I added my navy beaded necklace for a little pizzazz and my red wedges to break up the blue tones.

What is your favorite Friday outfit? Have a great weekend!!!

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!
