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 I went back to the store to buy in various colors BUT for whatever reason the other XXL pants didn't fit the same... so I perhaps landed with a pair mis-sewned pants? No idea! But I love them!


Dots on Dots! 


The blouse is from Target's WhoWhatWearCollection bought 4 years ago


The coat is from Zara as well and a xmas gift from my parents - size Medium, which fits snug but the store didn't have a Large and I didn't want to risk them not having it online. It's heavy enough for a cold night but not too heavy for our California winters ;-)


Shoes are from Sam Edelman bought at Nordstrom


The hat is from SheIn: they have very affordable accessories 


And y'all know my essential rule to shopping and that is - the purchase MUST BE VERSATILE! 


And these pants are definitely versatile; here they are paired with 
my go-to denim jacket and a pair of flats-ish


Annnnnnnd this photo! It's about a little debt I've incurred... Soooooooooo in the new year I have a major confession to make and that is THOUGH my #1 shopping rule has kept me resourceful it has also made me a bit of shopaholic sooooooooo this year I am on diet - a shopping diet! I am stating it here in hopes to hold myself accountable... On this day I proclaim to only shop once a month!


So here I go - gotta turn my back on that sale, no matter how good it is and save that mula!!!

Alrigthy folks ~ I cant wait until next Year's #MinnieStyle #NationalPolkaDot - though any day is a good day for polka dots! 

That is all! 

Toodles!

Air kisses!

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: Lilly is Nucking Futs and...

Biscuit Home in Houston, Texas If you didn't already know (shame-on you because I've written about some of my mental-health struggles) about 6 years ago I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder; To put it in layman's terms I am a constant worrier and trust me, I am putting it lightly. My anxiety monster makes its appearance when money, family, and an overwhelming sense of responsibility overcome any "logical" way of thinking and as much as I love traveling,  my anxiety flares up the most during travel. About 10 years-ago, we went to Nicaragua for New Years and I became overwhelmed, manic, with a sense of an impending death, I purchased life insurance, left letters for loved ones and notes about funeral arrangements. Obviously, I didn't die not unless I did... And this is an alternate universe.. Whoa! That's be trippy... Any who, when our trip was over, I was happy to be home and secluded myself until school started. I sought to reclus...
