For All Ages

Clothing that can be transformed to suit multiple ages and styles are the best investment you can make!  This is one of those tops...the accessories you add or don't add...the shoe style you chose to wear...even the choice of bottoms.  You could wear this to the office and switch up the accessories and shoes and be ready for happy hour...my Mom could even rock this with a fun scarf and earrings!  

Sejour Pleated V-Neck Blouse
$68.00

Everyone wants to look on trend and well put together...all you need is this top and some great accessories.  If you do it right you could probably wear it twice in a week and no one would be the wiser!

Dingle Balls

OK, seriously!  I would get this skirt for the pure and simple reason that it has dingle balls on it!

ASOS Curve Exclusive
Skirt With Print
$62.67

www.asos.com
Not sure that I'd pair it with the bright yellow shirt as styled above...maybe purple or teal...but I love the bright colors and the dingle balls!  Not sure what a "dingle ball" is...well it's those red things dangling near the bottom of the skirt where the printed fabric meets the black fabric also known as Craft Pom Poms...and I LOVE them!

Spring Green

If I had to name one and only one reason for loving Spring it would have to be that Kelly Green color that starts popping up in Spring Flow Apparel Lines! 

ASOS Curve Exclusive
Belted Turn Up Peg
$71.62

It's crisp and clean...a nice bold change from the drab darkness of winter...and pretty much all around fab!

The Hunt Is On

So I think I've forever been on the hunt for the perfect pair of destroyed denim jeans...well since 2003 really!  At one point I found the pair of my dreams at Old Navy in 2005...I should have bought backup!

Forever 21+
Destroyed Skinny Jeans
$24.80


www.forever21.com

Silver Jeans
"Frances"
$105


www.torrid.com


American Eagle Outfitters
Favorite Boyfriend Jean
$49.50

www.ae.com
Since then nothing compares...what does a Plus Girl gotta do to get some great destroyed denim? 

I got the Forever 21+ pair and loved them...until they stretched out in about an hour and literally fell off while walking up the stairs to my house!  Not a good look! 

The second pair from Torrid aren't half bad...but the half that is bad is stopping me from buying them!  I don't want the huge stitching, tacky back pocket stitching or a split side seam at the bottom...totally reminds me of JR High!  Guess I just like the actual destroyed part...sigh.

American Eagle Outfitters seems to be getting it right...but then they're not really Plus...online goes up to a size 18 so I could give it a shot but something tells me it will be a huge fail!  Never know if you don't try though!

OLD NAVY CAN YOU PLEASE BRING BACK THE SPECIAL EDITION DENIM OF 2005?

A few great tips for event shopping...
1. Buy something you can wear again, make your money count!
2. Try to buy something you don't need to buy new shoes for!  Good, cute and comfortable shoes can be expensive...if you go cheap you might be sitting at the singles table while everyone is dancing!
3. It has to make you feel great...trust me the event will be so much more fun if you feel fantastic!
4. Sign up for emails on the website you plan to purchase from...some will send you welcome emails with a coupon code!  Or google shop a coupon!  The more you save the more you have to spend!
5. If shipping is free both ways buy two sizes of what you are interested in as well as a few options...this saves you from missing out if you need to size up or down as things can sell out!  Keep what works and send back what doesn't!
6. Don't be afraid to try something that you think you can't pull off...you don't know if you don't try!

Happy Shopping!
