Gasp! Horizontal Stripes!
This gleeful fat-girl rule breaking brought to you by K-Mart Kauai, Joel and a really goofy day at the Minnesota Institute of the Arts. I think I did Twitter about it, but the Hawaii K-Mart plus section, at least the one in Lihue, wasn’t too bad. The jeans are Old Navy, the necklace is... »
For those still looking for Mode magazine
Runway Revolution has added a section just for Mode Magazine on their site. It looks as though they have an incomplete collection, and like it’s a massive scan project. Still, just having them to page through in a place we can all find them is great news. Share on Facebook »
Etsy find: the Garbologist’s Wife
With sizing up to 4x with waist = 49 inches, the Garbologist’s Wife on Etsy is a great find for plus size vintage lovers. This Baltimore seller advertises that she designs clothing based on sustainable practices – much of this is repurposed and upcycled. For vintage indie lovers, I just had to point this... »
Vests, I still like them
I’m back to hunting for a vest again. While I’d prefer one that’s longer, I now own the requisite long shirt to wear underneath a shorter one like this. But I’d also like to get the vest and wear it with things that are lacey, and ruffly, and maybe even shiny – just not... »
A little love for Payless Shoes
I am the first to advocate getting really good shoes and really saving up for them. But sometimes, that just isn’t practical. And that’s why I am eternally grateful for Payless Shoes, especially since they stepped up their product quality a few years back. I won’t find brands there, but I will find shapes. Silhouettes.... »
Craving plaid – plus size skirts
Every so often, I’ll get a style craving. It has nothing to do with what’s in or out, I’ll just be in a state of “dammit, I want one!” Right now that craving is for a plaid skirt. Long, short, I don’t care. I just want plaid. It’s irrational, and my plaid school days... »
Cuffed Jeans
Cuffed jeans – yes or no? For me I’m on the fence. In junior high cuffed jeans weren’t a matter of style and aesthetic. They were a requirement. Of course, I always missed the memo on those unspoken dress codes being fat and utterly uncool, so I was the kid who got mocked when I... »
EtsyFinds: Purses
Because I’m really rough on my purses, I actually do have to replace them once or twice a year. (I am really trying to stop this, as right now I’m still mourning a suede bag felled in a sambuca accident last year.) This year, I ended up getting a purse very similar in shape... »
Ang! Pow!
From Fat Chic flickr group. I just love how this all lines up, and red is a great color here! Share on Facebook »
Plus size boyfriend blazers and other choices
Just because it’s in style doesn’t mean you have to wear it. Besides, if last month’s fashion weeks demonstrated anything, it’s that right now just about anything is in style. I don’t have a clue how most of that stuff will even translate to consumer clothing. If there is an “it” item to choose... »
