Working For The Weekend...

Jacket-Eloquii, Jeans-Target, T-Shirt-Forever21, Shoes-Shoedazzle

When I don’t know what to wear I normally wrap an entire outfit around my favorite band t-shirt. I love this Pink Floyd shirt from Forever 21. I have worn it with jeans, leather, skirts, and everything else in between. I even love it so much I bought it twice. It worked well for a great day out with white jeans, my linen motorcycle jacket, and my favorite pumps of the moment. Its looks like this that remind me of how much fun you can have getting dressed!

I am heading for a quick beach getaway this weekend. I am looking forward to great food, fun in the sun and doing absolutely nothing! My schedule has been unbelievably hectic for the past few months a bit of relaxation and unplugging are just what the doctor ordered.  I will post some weekend captures to the blog once I am back!!!

Don’t forget today is the last day to enter the Pop Up Plus faux leather jogger giveaway! I will announce the winner on Friday!!!

Dots & Stripes

Top-Forever 21(Similar), Skirt-JcPenny(Similar), Shoes-Zara(Similar)

If there is one area of clothing that I struggle with the most it is definitely my work wardrobe. Although I spend most of my day there, I am completely guilty of going for comfort instead of couture during my working hours. I am refocusing my energy on sprucing up my work looks with a few new pieces that express my personal style and allow me to be comfortable. I have also made a vow to find a few pair of comfortable heels to wear through the day as well.  

Since I am completely striped obsessed I fell in love with this pencil skirt at JCPenny, and immediately made it mine. It is perfect for work and it is the epitome of my personal style!  I was however, extremely disappointed that I they did not make the matching blazer in plus sizes, only petite and missy. I would have LOVED the entire suit!!!  I mixed my stripes with dots by paring the skirt with one of my favorite blouses. I can be honest though I didn’t last very long in the shoes, my trusty pointy toe flats came out a few hours after I strutted in the door of my office.

So what about you my fabulous readers? How do you feel about work wear? What is your go to strategy?

Jump Jump...

Jumpsuits are a heavy staple in my wardrobe. With such a hectic schedule I like the ease and simplicity of just having one item to revolve a look around. Jumpsuits have always held a certain image of sophistication to me, blame it or on the 70’s or my Mother. I remember her wearing one when I was little from this cool new store (Banana Republic) that had just opened in Birmingham,  It was military styled and I vowed it would be mine when I got older. That wasn’t meant to be but I have peppered my wardrobe with several jumpsuits that I deemed classics.  

I picked this jumpsuit up from My Habit (they have some amazing plus size items by the way). I loved the fit and comfort of this jumpsuit. It can go from casual, to dressy to a great layering piece. For this post I shared two ways to wear the jumpsuit, one with a leopard jacket for those cooler spring days and one by itself with a cute handbag.

How do you guys feel about jumpsuits? Are they a yay or a nay for you?

Thanks for reading!

30 Plus Style "The TuTu Skirt"

Blazer-Macys, Tank & Necklace-Forever 21, Skirt-DIY, Shoes-Khol's, Bag-Tano, Bracelets-Ashley Stewart

It is time for part two of the 30 Plus Style Challenge and for this edition we are all presenting our take on the tutu skirt. I believe that absolutely every wardrobe should have some element of whimsy in it. The tutu skirt is most definitely a way to add whimsy to every wardrobe. They can be dressed up, dressed down, styled preppy or punked out.

I wanted to go with a more classic feel adding girly touches like sparkly jewelry, pair of neon pink pumps and a blazer. For the longest I wanted to take pictures under Birmingham’s beloved light bridges and I thought this look was the perfect opportunity to do so. It added that additional touch of whimsy that made me so excited!!!

On a side note there is a slight story behind this skirt. I ordered one and it was horrific so I quickly ordered another but I was sad to find out it wouldn’t be here until after the challenge. I so didn’t know what to do, but my friend and fellow blogger Pepper Martin came to my rescue!!! She made this tutu skirt and I totally loved it! I swear I am more and more thankful for the wonderful women that I surround myself!!! Thanks Pepper!

So how do you feel about the tutu skirt? Yay or nay? Check out my other fellow 30 Plus Style Bloggers to see their take on this challenge:  Joi from In My Joi,  Delilah from Pumps and Studz, Georgette fromGrown and Curvy Woman, Pepper from Pretty Plus Pep and Nefferth from Mode_Plus.
