Welcome!

Welcome to my fashion blog, please bare with me this is a first for me. I am partnering this with my facebook and google+ pages to create an outlet for plus size women to see cute outfits that actually fit with links of where to find and buy them.

About me- I am a 38 yr old mother and a size 22...to 24, sometimes a little more if you know what I mean. I am always on a quest to find cute, fashionable and comfortable clothes. I was not always this big, it happened when I became disabled and for years I tried to hide my size in ugly baggy clothes thinking somehow that made me not look too bad. I now cringe when i see those pictures- not from my size but my style, or lack there of. I beleived that eventually I would lose that weight and at that time I could dress well so why bother buying nice clothes, right? Well, wrong. The too tight jeans, old tops, the t shirts, the ones from my husband's closest, even lack of makeup and hairstyle were making me so self conscious I didn't realize what it was truly doing until I started watching the TLC show What Not To Wear.

After several episodes I realized that I, too could look cute without having to wait so I went shopping one night. With their rules in my head (if you haven't watched the show its a must see the rules are fabulous and I will be using them here) I went to the nearest clothing store. I didn't go shopping at the size I want to wear, and for the first time in... well ever I actually tried stuff on. I spend 40 minutes shopping and bought 3 pants and 2 blouses. The next morning my husband came home (he worked nights) and saw me in my new clothes. He stopped in his tracks and asked if I had a meeting or something. From that moment on I realized how bad I must of looked to him, too. All day I was stopped and asked where I got my cute clothes, why I was looking so good, even the obligatory male 'did you do something different today?'.

It was wonderful, and since then I have worked to put effort into how I look on the outside because it does make me feel good on the inside. I have also learned a lot about style, fit, comfort, and the reality of 'plus size fashion' that I will share with anyone who will listen.
