Happy Tuesday!

I hope you are all having fantastic weeks so far.

Lately I have been doing a lot of soul searching, and I feel the urge to design more and more. Unfortunately, I will probably not be able to afford to sell anything for a while. I know I suck, I got you all excited about my line/dress and now it isn’t going to happen (for now). Unfortunately, I am not the best seamstress and a real seamstress costed more than I could afford so I am kind of in an awkward stage. For now, I am going to keep designing and continue sewing and show you guys what I come up with. :)

But this outfit I created nothing, except I did cut my own bangs… ;) That’s something right!?

top: ModCloth

skirt: thrifted

boots: gifted

P.S. When I was young girl I shopped at maurices a lot. They always had jeans that fit me well, and they had cool affordable stuff. I am not sure if you have heard of maurices, seeing how they were in my small town in Michigan, but they have this awesome modeling contest going on! Watch these videos of previous winners, here and here. Submit yourself here. You do not have to be a experienced model to enter, so good luck lovelies! :)

ITS ALMOST FRIDAY! :D Yayyyy! This was my first week at work after the holidays and I have been so out of it! Getting back into the groove of it is tough, but I am glad to be back at work and on a good schedule with my blog. :)

This outfit is pretty minimalist for me, but I really love it. I am really tall (5’11”) so most skirts and dresses are too short for me! However, I have learned some really cool alternatives for this problem. For instance, I saw this skirt in H&M and knew I had to have it. I tried it on and it was so short my butt was practically hanging out of it! lol Bought it anyways. 

When I finally decided to rock it, I realized it would be perfect with this longer sheer dress I had! So, I put it over and it was such a lovely combo (pics here). I lost the skirt for a few months (lost in my car lol), but after moving I found it again! So, here is another dress I wore it over! :)

Oh, yea! I cut my bangs and died my hair all by myself! I really like it! I hope you do too!

dress: Asos Curve

earrings: Morroco (in Disney’s Epcot) lol

skirt: H&M

tights: Target

shoes: Old ModCloth

How has your week been? Recovering from the holidays ok?

Hey everyone! I thought I would share this awesome brand that just launched today!! It is called eloquii by The Limited!

Here are a few cool words they sent me:

Background

When customers and bloggers voiced their frustration on when The Limited was going to turn its focus toward trendy, plus-sized women, The Limited’s CEO, Linda Heasley, listened. Working with Jodi Arnold, eloquii by The Limited’s Vice President of Design, they launched a line that’s taken the uncompromising fashion standards of The Limited and tailored them to deliver a variety of silhouettes inspired by runway designs.

The Look

From clothes that make you look sharp at the office, to dresses that take you to any occasion, eloquii by The Limited aims to dress you from day to night. Every piece in the eloquii by The Limited collection has been designed from start to finish, ensuring that the line complements a woman’s body type.

This collection pays special attention to the fit details that matter. It offers modified inseams and adjusted waist levels, adjusted sleeve lengths and two pant fits. eloquii by The Limited offers trend-driven pieces, including custom fit skinny jeans, the classic wrap dress, oversized sweaters, bomber jacket and belted cape.

I LOVE this faux leather skirt! :) It’s one of my favorite new additions to my wardrobe!

I got it from H&M its a 12 (the largest size I could find) and it barely fits me! But it does! yayyyyyy! And the dress (it is under the skirt) I got from TJ Maxx! Shoes are ancient ModCloth. But I felt so classic and edgy in this outfit.
