Fatshion 101: I Miss Playing Dress Up

In the course of the last few weeks my dad went through old family albums and found some really awesome pictures of moi!

It took me back to a time when I enjoyed being a kid  because we could play dress up.

Today, it seems like we have to make up or have an excuse to "play" dress-up. As adults, we wait for Halloween or a themed party to dress a certain way. And even then, it's like a requirement to show more skin than I feel is comfortable...

I just began to reminisce, especially when looking through all these pictures...

I loved putting on my mom's dresses, her jewelery , her heels and putting on make up ( and my applying make up skills are still as "good" as they were then ;-)

I would dress up and play with my imaginary friend, Fred and/or with my cousin.We would make up the most ridiculous story lines and sometime inappropriate, thanks to our moms' tele- novellas...
As a kid it didn't matter if you were tall, short, skinny or fat... You could wear what you wanted when you wanted...

Simply put...

I miss playing dress up... Is that weird???

Plus, I was a pretty cute looking kid and thought I would share these pics;-)
That is all,
Til next time,
(cause its getting harder and harder to write on Monday nights- I might stick to Thursdays, we'll see)

FML... I Totally Forgot it was Monnday Today...

I hope everyone had a restful Memorial Day weekend. Mine was jam packed with major accomplishments and lots of love! So much so, that I forgot today was Monday and that I needed to write my blog... And for consistency sake, I am writing to let y'all know to come back June 1st for a Wedding Update...   And that I am thinking about adding some kinda fat girl's guide to feeling and looking good, at least once a month... Every 1st,2nd or 3rd post... I want to try out this challenge I found on Instagram from the Aussie Perth Curvettes! Check 'em out I love theirr Instagram and their blogs! I'm not becoming a fashion/style blog by any stretch of the imagination... BUT I do enjoy looking good and feeling good about myself. And I haven't lately and that is a major part of my anxiety these days. I have been beating myself up and I want to make sure that at least once a month I highlight my many positive attributes! I am also in the middle of planning another trip...

Fatshion 101: Return of National Polka Dot Day

Happy New Year's Y'all! I am happy to be back! I am happy that it's the beginning of the year when the days feel refreshed and reinvigorated. I am not so much of the "new year, new me" attitude BUT a new year does represent a much more glacier pace of life for me. I kinda fell off the face of the Earth or at least my blog since September 2018... October, our birthday month was superbusy, November at work is an insane time and December is for the holidays sooooooo by the end of the year - I am just waiting with bated breath for new years! Aaaaaaaand January is also home to one of my favoritest days of the year! National Polka Dot Day! In honor of the the Polka Dot Queen herself, Minnie Mouse! If it has dots! I want it! I got it! ;-) And dude!!! I celebrated in what I can only describe as pants sent from heaven! They are from Zara and I bought them ON SALE, maybe six months ago and they come in XXL! I fell in love with them the minute I put them on SO ...

The Meme Speaks to Me...

I have missed my little corner of joy and release! I am excited, so excited! I have been reading Jess Baker's "Things no will tell fat girls" and it has been my main motivation to continue writing. It's also helping bring new life to my blog. It's the best-random, "just because" gift from my husband ever! I am no longer just a #JournalBlogger - I am a  #JournalFatshionBlogger Reviewing my 2014 and 2015 posts, some of my most popular posts were my Fatshion 101 posts, thus this year, I look to be more intentional about being body positive through my Fatshion 101 posts! So be on alert for my Valentine's Day Fatshion 101 post! Now to present matters at hand... My last post was over a month ago and it was inspired by my tiredness of people's ignorance. And today...
