Fatshion 101: Rocking Dots is a Way of Life

Gun to head... Dots or solids? DOTS! Duh! I am obsessed with dots... When I'm shopping, I have to stop myself about 85% of the time from buying more polk-a-dots.

A closet dreams I have on the daily... A closet arranged by color (current status-ish) and having a rainbow set of polk-a-dots blouses... Awgh...

And in honor of the Rock the Dots QUEEN, Minnie Mouse, I am rocking my dots with my new favorite pantalones!

I've been in love with the look of these pants all my life- I've loved them on every fashion magazine, on every fashion model, and on every stick-figured mannequin.

And every time I would built up the nerve to try them on, I would be super-let-down when they didn't look the same way on me. Thus I've grown extremely resentful for the kinda mind-fucking that happens to my brain through advertising.

But in the last 5 years since finally joining the social media realm... And being introduced to IG... My perspective and the mind-fuckery of TV, magazines and ads have almost, entirely dissipated.


There are so many excellent IG accounts to follow that show real women with bodies like mine, such as @thesmilingsweetheart I found her account, thanks to other body-posi accounts I follow, on our October Disneyland trip, ...

When I saw her post of her wearing these pants- I just about fainted and I needed to know where I could find them and God bless her, she responded within a day, along with the size she was wearing... And voila - I pulled out my card and purchased them immediately!

The pants are from HM*, they were on sale and when they arrived - they fit perfectly (to my surprise... because I thought they were gonna fit loose - I got size 18 - and I took a long look in the mirror and simply admired their perfection before I let the thought of them being a size or two bigger than my regular size ruin how much I loved them.


These pants have been my favoritest purchase from the last few months. They're casual, they're office friendly (with tights - they're a bit see through), and quite va-va-voom for date night.


It all depends on how you style and accessorize. For instance, in the photo above I tucked out the blouse for what I felt, would be a little more office friendly. (Subtle difference from other photos ;-)

And I just can't wait to rock 'em over the spring and summer! And the rest of my life!

For today's blogpost, I am also celebrating Minnie's walk of fame commemoration by pairing the pants with one my favorite polka-dot tops purchased at Zara circa 2016. #HappyNationalPolkadotsDay


Black, red and white! And Dots! That's all you need to pull-off a clean look.

My thoughts- Maybe I cut too much
I added pops of red to honor Minnie, with a red necklace I've had for over 10years! And a pair of red pumps and red lips (That I never thought I would wear either! Can't wear red lipstick with fat-ass lips - they use to say #SideEye)

Sadly, adulting prevented us from enjoying all the dot-festivities in socal- sooooo- next best thing was to DisneyBound from afar.

Minnie Mouse is a classic-fashion staple so congratulations girl, it was about damn time you got your star!

That is all,

'Til next time,

Toodles!

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 ...

EDC 2016: Modesty, nudity and feminism

Sleeping Beauty and Maleficent Give it to me to go to Vegas and come back more of an empowered feminist than ever! Damn right! First of all... (clap, clap) Let's get something straight! (clap-clap)) My anxiety/insecurity prior to this Vegas Wedding slash EDC thing had NOTHING to do with my body!!! (CLAP) I struggle with finding nudity an empowering source! And not because I'm fat but because I've always been a believer in less is more - in where, the less skin I show, the more enticing and the more empowered I feel. Yeah! Ladies and gents! It's possible! And an argument can be made of the same saying; Less is more - The less clothing you wear the more enticing and empowered you can feel! And I say "I struggle" with 'empowering nudity' because we are bombarded with nudity everywhere we look - We are meant to be made to believe that we should all be comfortable with nudity - well I hate to break it to y'all but - nah! I've written ...

Fatshion 101: Learning to Live with Intent and Balance

Note: I started writing this blog in March while on our way Home to the Happiest Place on Earth ---days before resigning from my job of six years... I’ve always enjoyed my time sitting at a desk looking out a window… Which is probably why as I sit thousands of feet above the sky I am inspired to pull out my laptop (That I’ve packed to finish work emails – on my day off)  but  as I type those words- I’ve chosen to f*ck that sh*t – I am going to use my laptop to blog! I am a little  conflicted on where to start –  I’ve had these thoughts, these words, this blog on my mind for a long time… (Clears throat: it has been well over a year since my last blogpost) I haven’t written for fun in ages and I know myself well enough to know that I shouldn’t have taken such a long break from journaling/blogging (Friendly FYI – I maintain a handwritten journal in addition to my blog) But even before the summer 2019 I stopped all forms of journaling completely – I insta-s...
