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...

The Meme Speaks to Me...

Image provided by http://makeameme.org/meme/when-someone-tries-tthwto First post of 2016! Happy New Year y'all! I am back and oh so happy, ever so happy to be writing again! 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...

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 ...
