OOTDs
Hi Fats. I've been m.i.a. recently...been busy moving, getting my hair cut/colored, going to the office (I work from home) and to work functions as well as non-work functions (saw Robyn in Orlando and Tampa ♥!). I'm semi-chronicling it here in the form of OOTDs. (+ a hair help question...)
As an aside I wanted to share a link I haven't seen in this in the community before: Wet Seal has an online junior plus size section. It's pretty much everything you'd expect from Wet Seal; so if gold liquid latex leggings are your thing that might be the place for you. I actually really like the Pleated A-Line Dress and the Zebra Print Tulip Dress.
I gave up on trying to grow my hair out. My hair went from thick/coarse as a kid to baby fine as an adult. It doesn't grow anymore. I blame it on the processing, stress, etc. I decided to dye it my natural color (so I can stop coloring it...oh the irony!) + bangs. The cut is longer in the front shorter in the back, but more choppy...basically a slight variation of what I've had for the past 5 yrs :\
The top is from Marshall's years ago
purple heart was gifted from a friend.
At a friend's birthday party
White tank top - Lane Bryant 14
Rose cardigan - Torrid 2
At Robyn in Tampa. I hate this picture but my boyfriend went with me and he has little patience for being my photographer. :\
Top - Torrid size 2
Belt - Torrid size 2
I work from home and had to go into the office for a quarterly meeting so I wore a sunny dress since I live in Florida and the weather always permits.
Dress - B and Lu - 22/2x. I waited til this sucka was on clearance $23 :D
Cardigan - Torrid - 2. TBH i wasn't feeling the black but none of my cardi's matched at all (black, red, green, gray, brown...nothing went!)
Outfit reprise! A week later for an off-site office event. With my in-betweenie co-worker.
Another off-site office event. I <3 when we get paid for having fun. We went to the Florida Aquarium and then an ecology/dolphin watch tour around the bay. It was amazing and I saw dolphins up close! Yay!
Top - Lane Bryant 18
You can't see my whole outfit, I posted it more for my hair. I've been really bummed about my hair y'all. Without sounding too pathetic/whiny, I reallllllllly want a haircut similar to Robyn, haha. But I know better than to think a pixie cut of that nature would look good on me. This has nothing to do with being fat; I have a really round face but *not* a round head/skull. I'm a bit self conscious about the non-roundness of my skull. I know it sounds kind of weird. I've never been able to wear head scarves/kerchiefs or any sort of headband that goes all the way around my head because it doesn't hold and just slips right up and off.
I'm tired of my hair style and want something *new* (For reference the haircut I <3 looks like this and this)
Anyway, your model is nearly 5'5" and about 270 nowadays, 20 on top, 22/24 bottom.
