When I
finished my master’s degree in 2013, by next biggest goal was to restart my
blog. I needed the creative outlet and I desperately missed the plus-size
community that I joined back in 2010. All I can say is wow what a year it has
been!
I have had
so many wonderful experiences here on my little slice of the internet! Through
the support of my family and friends and my amazing readers, I have accomplished
so much more than I expected! I am grateful for your kind words and
conversations over this past year! I hope you have been inspired by fashion!
Stay tuned for 2015 it’s due to be amazing!
Happy New
Year to all of you!
XOXOXO,
J

One of my favorite things about the holiday season is getting
together with friends. I love having long dinners, more cocktails than normal
and looking at everyone’s festive fashions. But even I will admit it’s hard to
come up with great looks to wear constantly throughout the holiday season. I have joined to together with a few of my
bloggers boos and our favorite brand Eloquii, to show how we get dressed to go
to a few different occasions. We selected one of two skirts from Eloquii to
style for a certain holiday occasion. My occasion was dinner at my best friend’s
house!
Under normal circumstances if I was going to my BFF’s house
to hang out I would be extremely comfortable and not put in much effort, but
during the holidays you never know who might pop up. Taking it up a notch is in
order. For this look I stepped out of the box and went for a grungier look. I
loved this boots that I picked up from ShoeDazzle! They
are not at all my norm, but I have been trying again to further push myself out
of my comfort zone. I thought this look was great for hanging out with friends.
What are your go to pieces for the Holiday?
Go check out the other looks from my blogger boos:

In the world of fast everything it’s great to find a place
that offers customization to their customer. That’s one of the reasons that I like
eShakti. Their wide range of clothing goes from a size 0 to 36W. All of their products
are customizable with options on sleeve type, length, and skirt type just to
name a few. Each item has various tweaks that ensure that each garment is to
your liking.
I paired this skirt from eShakti with my striped turtleneck,
giving me the retro vibe that I was looking for. A surprising fact about this
skirt was that it’s fully lined ensuring that the item is season less. It can
just as easily be worn with a sweater or a tank top! It definitely didn’t hurt that this was in my
favorite color combo of navy and red.
How do you feel about customizable items? Have you tried
eShakti yet?

It’s rivals week in college football, the week when long
standing battles are fought on the grid iron! For some it’s not that big of a
deal, but for most it’s a really big deal. Here in the state of Alabama one of
biggest rivalries in college football is The Iron Bowl. For us football fans bragging
rights are at stake, houses are divided, friends become enemies and the lines
are drawn in the sand. It’s that fateful
weekend that comes around once a year until the champion of the state of
Alabama is crowned! Y’all know by now my
loyalty lies with my alma mater, The University of Alabama!
I have mentioned before how the major aspect of expressing
your fandom is through fashion. You can take it subtle and just wear your
colors or you can take it all out and put your battle cry on your shirt. I am
pretty sure I don’t know how to take it subtle. For a little fun and games I
invited my blogger boo Pepper of Pretty Plus Pep, who is an Auburn Fan (boooooooo),
to show us how she shows her love for her beloved Auburn Tigers.
I fell in love with this sweatshirt from Victoria Secret’s
Pink collection instantly. Since it only came up to a large I wasn’t hopeful
that it would fit, but boy was I wrong! It goes to show try everything on, you
never know what will work! I threw this own with my boyfriend jeans and
favorite red pumps for an amplified comfortable look.
So is anyone's alma mater playing this weekend? How are
you expressing your team spirit?
