I Go Out Walkin'

Exercise is like this hormonal she-demon. Bitchy, painful, irritating, scary. I guess what I'm trying to say is I really hate exercising. 

But I'm doing it anyway. 

As a plus size woman, I have health concerns that need to be addressed, and I'm logical enough to know that exercise is going to be the key to unlocking my healthy sexy lady. 

This week is all about baby steps. I have climbed the stairs from my garage to my fourth floor apartment most days, and walked 1.6 miles this evening with a little stroll to a theatre on date night. 

Every person who has overcome great challenges started somewhere and started small. I guess this my somewhere. But let's be honest, I'm looking forward to the destination. And maybe I'll embrace the she-demon bitch along the way. 

Cheers,

Wear To Work

Some days I look at my closet sadly and think there is just nothing to wear, or I'm tired of everything in it. And some days I am hit with inspiration and just really love a look. This was one of those days. 

The dress is a simple black cotton dress I've had forever that I am pretty sure I picked up at Target. The blazer is definitely from Target (I just saw it in-store the other day, so it's still available if you want to pick it up). The belt is actually from a shirt I bought at Dress Barn a while back. I'm not a big fan of the shirt having worn it a time or two, but I l.o.v.e. this belt. 

The outfit is simple, yet interesting. I love this look so much I didn't want to take off the dress when I got home. I even rocked the dress sans blazer when I went out grocery shopping tonight. Cray-amaze y'all. 

I went jewlery-less today because I wanted the belt to be the focal point. 

Tell me about your favorite dress and how you like to mix it up! 

Cheers,

The Road So Far...

Okay. I haven't posted in months. But that doesn't mean I haven't learned anything over that time. Here are 10 things I learned about fashion and blogging over the past three months:

1. Not everyday is going to be a runway kind of day.
2. Work the wardrobe you have - mix and match and find the right things that work by shopping your own closet.
3. Blogging takes a SHIT TON of time people. Dedication beyond what I imagined.
4. I'm ready to give it another go.
5. A Sunday well spent brings a week of content. (I could literally write a book based on this sentence.)
6. Support comes in many surprising ways.
7. No matter how confident you are, some days being plus-size just downright sucks.
8. You have to get creative when it's HOT. Summer can suck it.
9. Not everything is beautiful, but there is beauty in every thing.
10. I'm ready to try this again. :)

Oh - and I'm all fancy and super social now. Check it out:
