Bottoms Up

It's usually the last thing I'm shopping for...I'm a jeans girl so I'm normally shopping for tops...unless I need new jeans...but 17Sundays has me drooling over a few of their bottoms.  Oh...and one very radical jacket!

Contrast Slub Jersey Slouch Pants
$55.76 USD

Monte Carlo Wet Look Moto Legging
$65.06 USD

Take Me Away Sequin Trimmed Jacket
$139.47 USD

I love this brand and the awesome crew that makes it happen...if I ever get to Australia it will be one big love fest!  

So...what are you shopping for?  Spring is on the way and I'm ready to shed some layers...how about you?

Happy Shopping!

My Seahawks WON Super Bowl 48!!!  

And maybe...just maybe my last blog entry made its way to the "right people" because these awesome t-shirts below are actually available up to size XXL!!!  Now I know that's not the victory I was hoping for but it's a step in the right direction.

Junk Food Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl XLVIIIChampions Ladies Tailgate Tri-Blend V-Neck T-Shirt
$34.95

Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl XLVIII Champions Rookie Raglan Three-Quarter Sleeve T-Shirt
$44.95

You better believe I bought both tees without hesitation...and I'd buy more too...sweatshirts, sweaters, track jackets.  What I'm saying is this...my money is here for the taking...make rad shit and I'll buy it...we'll buy it.  It's not that hard, we just want to cheer on our favorite teams like everyone else...and do it in style.  Stop giving us lame frumpy "options"...we don't want something different...and I'm pretty sure we can pull off a raglan tee...a v-neck...don't you think?!

I'm a Fan

So, my Seattle Seahawks are going to the Super Bowl for the second time...ever...YAY! And per usual the best fan gear doesn't come in my size...sigh.  I have a Junk Food sweatshirt that I recently bought from the Pro Shop while in Seattle for Christmas.  I found the last XXL and wiggled my way into it...I'm a proud fan and I like to look cute while I cheer...so why is it so hard to get the best of the best in my size?  Don't you want my money retailers?

I went ahead and bought this super cute Super Bowl tee pictured below in an XL...wish me luck!  Here's hoping it runs big.

Torrid joined the NFL Fan club this year with a super narrow selection...I loved that the t-shirts were v-neck and didn't feel frumpy dumpy Plus Size-esk.  Here's hoping they do more next year and have options for all of the teams.

Lane Bryant also showed up with a promising collection...though again lacking options for all teams so maybe next year I'll get to give them a little more  of my money.  They did however come out with a great Super Bowl top featuring this years teams...and I can't help but love seeing my Hawks on top!  Here are a few of my favorite styles they offered this year...foil graphics, raglan sleeves and repeat prints!

With Straight Size lines like Victoria's Secret PINK and Junk Food offering such cute options it becomes frustrating to track down something you'd be excited about wearing on game day.  Touch by Alyssa Milano ranges from size XS - 4X...but my very petite friend that normally wears a small had to get an XL to fit her!  I have two items from the line, both in 4X...and I have no wiggle room...but I normally wear a 2X or a size 20...not so fun for the girls needing larger sizes than that.  Oh, and the Touch line rarely goes above an XL.

Get Outta Town

It's no secret...I LOVE City Chic tankinis...they're not even paying me to say it!  I love looking at their Australian site to get a preview of what's to come to the US site.  Pretty sure I need these beach cover-ups for my next trip to Maui!

On beachy vacations I spend 80% of the day in my tankini...and when I'm not in the water I want to jam around and look cute while doing it!  Here's hoping these become available on citychiconline.com soon!  

Comfortable Casual

For the longest time I struggled with putting together looks that were both comfortable and casual...it seems like it would be an easy task really...but for me it always came down to the shoes.

Comfortable shoes...not always so cute!  At any rate...I'm now more than comfortable building outfits I love to wear and feel comfortable rocking all day long...could have something to do with my growing shoe collection!

Resolution

So I'm anti resolutions usually...people don't keep them...they are usually pretty crazy...and I don't agree with them being set once a year, if you want to change something just do it.  

That said, my friend and blogger of The Curvy Fashionista Marie Leggette posted the video below to her facebook page recently asking "Are you guilty of this?" and I had to say yes.

I'm guilty of "Fat Talking"...I figure people are already thinking these things about me so if I say them jokingly I'm in control...but it's sad.  I want to be a mother...like yesterday...and I wouldn't want to pass "Fat Talk" on to my children.  And honestly, "Fat Talking" about myself doesn't do any good...so...I'm going to do two things.  I'm going to make a New Years Resolution but I'm starting it now!  It's going to be hard, all habits are hard to break...but this is a habit that needs breaking.

I'd love to hear your thoughts...post your comments below!
