Hiatus over!

I know I haven't blogged since July.  Honestly a lot has happened in my life in the past few months that made it difficult to continue blogging.  But I am ready to enter into this world again.  Resilant and ready!  I hope my followers are still with me.  If u follow me on twitter (@thickspot) or instagram (@thickspot) you may have been keeping up with my rants.  From relationship woes to sensational stage achievements.  As you may know by know I am a musical theatre performer.  A singer, a actor and this summer I worked on and just recently completed my very first Opera!  It was a blast.  But now I am back to my school work.  I'm in my senior year of college and I am just trying to stay focus to complete everything that I need to complete and to continue learning since there is always more to know.  I'm still performing and I love that.  Still creating, and still shopping.  Still reading NYLON MAGAZINE, and keeping up with the blogs and bloggers that I fell in love with long before my own blog begin.

Yesterday I tweeted a pic of a semi-simple outfit that I took a self portrait of on INSTAGRAM.  There I said how I was looking for someone to take pictures of me in it.  Well my girl Shay came through for me and here it is.  I hope you enjoy, and welcome me back with open arms.

OOTD!

I really don't know what season it is anymore.  I was so freaking hopeful that it would stay HOT!  I love the summer, but NO!  That's to good to be true.  This is NJ and in NJ nothing is as it seems.  So if any of you are in warm hot places in the country or the world, please don't rub it in!  I will get jealous, because all I want is a tan!  Anywhoo!

Today due to the rainy, moody atmosphere I had to cover up more than I like.  I do however get to wear those styling leopard shoes from Aerosol's that I got at a miraculous discount and were first introduced on the blog here....http://www.thickdaddys.blogspot.com/2012/01/lately-good-news.html and I got to finally wear this big dookie chain necklace I got from the RED, WHITE, & BLUE!!!  Its super heavy but I think gave the outfit a lot of personality.  Statement jewelry is what its all about to make a plan outfit look fab!

JC fridays!

As I said in my last post.  June 1st marked JC Fridays in Jersey City, it happens four times a year at the turn of every season.  The weather was back and forth yesterday.  Hot, chilly, rainy but the show must go on.  I was the 7:30 talent.  I had a 30 minute set that went pretty darn good.  I was there in the company of fellow artists, which I love.  Some friends.

I wore this shirt I got a while back from my favorite thrift store in south Jersey.  It's actually a great addition to my wardrobe and on time with the high/low trend going on right now.  It was shorter in the front and longer in the back.  Because it was so windy it blew my shirt open quite a bit to expose my stomach.  (TUMMY TIME)  Which is also a trend.  And as a fat girl to take part in the semi-crop top trend I felt like I was doing my duty.  Even though it's a trend that some small and large people would look down upon any girl with a few extra pounds on her partaking in it.  But I did it.  It was fun.  I mean Sheesh* it's almost summer!!!

OOTD: MY Prof. book a job look!

In the last week I drove down to Chattanooga Tennessee with my Mother and Sister to the South Eastern Theatre Conference to audition for over 200 professional theatre companies in hopes of scoring work for the summer.  There were tons of workshops going on up until the day of the big audition, a lot of people to meet and of course a lot of yummy food to eat in Chattanooga!  This post will only cover one of the outfits I wore on one of the days I was attending different acting and the business of business workshops.  I had on a few really cute looks that of course I never took pictures of, but this one did make the cut and got a nice photo shoot out of it!  I've been actually wearing this Asos skirt with lace for a while when I bought it this past winter, but I finally snapped some pics in it!

The next post will be all about Chattanooga with more pics, I just have to get them all together first!
Hope you like it and I am on spring break this week, so I actually had 2 weeks off!  Lucky me!  I'm going to try to do some interesting things for the blog this week!

Sorry for the lack of posts, but I've been busy!

Hello March: Me and my Panel leggings welcome u!

Last month I didn't have a lot of posts mainly because I was busy working on and performing my play!  What a blast!  What a blessing!  What a time, man!  Sometimes I feel like I spread myself to thin, but then I seem to somehow accomplish things.  The last weekend for the play starts tonight.  Thursday @ 7, Fri & Sat @ 8 and Sunday @3!  The details are over at www.atticensemble.org.  I made the Jersey Journal with it too.  That's kinda dope! 

                                                      Here's a pic from The Jersey Journal

Well it doesn't stop there, I leave for Chattanooga TN, on Tuesday for the SETC's (South Eastern Theatre Conference) where I get to audition for over 200 professional theatre companies at once in hopes to book employment acting and singing for the summer!  I am sooo excited.  I'm getting my outfits together for the trip and I hope I can make at least one post while I'm there, but I'm going to take a bunch of picture's and definitely give the blog an update when I get back.

I got these Asos panel leggings while there were on sale in December and I love them!  I rocked them with this Metallic sweater by American Rag that I've had my eye on for a while on over at  www.Macys.com.  I'm happy to say I did not pay full price for either item and that the weather has been so crazy lately that I wore this with a light jacket and it was all good.  I matched it with my favorite combat boots that have turned out to be my go to item this season, especially with all the walking I do and Wah-la~!  I think I achieved that sexy, easy, comfort feeling that I love so much!

I'm taking this outfit or some version of it to Tennessee as well!

OOTD: ASOS

On Saturday the 18th, I finally got to wear two items from my favorite online store, Asos.  I had this black dress for a while and as far as the skirt I bought it when it went on sale during it's winter clearance. (both items are gone now) 

My school was holding the NATS competition. (National Association of Teacher's Singing)    I was entered into the Musical Theatre Competition and I had the opportunity to change into a different outfit so I was like ok cool!  I bought the two outfits and at first I was like 4get it I'm not gonna change, everyone sounded sooo good and the day was getting longer and longer.  Especially considering I woke up at 7:00am, which is NOT a common thing over at mi casa!  But my darling, darling friend and fellow singer, Liam persuaded me to change.  He said, "if not for the competition than for Whitney!"  (LOL we are so crazy, we had to do the competition but wanted to go to NEWARK for the funeral)  So we did and headed over to the auditorium waiting for the results of the competition.  The first place winner's of each division had to be ready to sing right then and there.  And after waiting all day I was in complete total shock when they announced my name and that I won the Musical Theatre Division!!!  (I also never ran in heels before either and ran all the way up to the podium to receive my award.)  Talk about cloud 9!

It wasn't until this year that they even offered the Musical Theatre division.  So I'm kinda like the first to win it ever!!!  That's really cool!  I'm real grateful and figured I share it on my blog, along with some pics of the day!

NOW THE WINNING LOOK~~~!

I Kinda feel un-creative for wearing outfit#2 the same way it was online, but I had both pieces at different times and wanted to make something work!  Hope its not corny, there will be other ways to style this in the near future!

Comfy and Casual!

I like casual!  I like to be comfortable!  Especially at school.  So when I saw these limited addition sweatshirts from Old Navy I thought, "CUTE!".  And it's purple.  That's my favorite color.  I love it!  Its so cute I geeked the look up a bit!  Paired it with my favorite Jeans from Ashley Stewart (I really need to go back to Ashley Stewart) and these comfy loafers I scored from Payless in late fall for like $9.99 and this is what u get.  Comfort!  It was such a nice day when I took these pics that I said lets go outside, No coat or anything.  I was really happy how it turned out!

PS:  May Whitney Houston R.I.P. remember her 4 her greatness.  It's really sad how people are trying to taint her name!  Her talent was what made her famous, not her bad habits.  People go through public struggles are even more special and more resilient, for they help all of us by allowing it to come to the forefront and talk about it. 

Just THANK YOU Whitney, for teaching millions of us how to sing.

OOTD! Stripes!

I love, love, love stripes!  Honestly, truly do!  I have worn many of outfits that included stripes on this blog! 

This outfit is no different.  It's very simple but what brings it to life and gives  it a little something extra is the striped shirt.  It's a very old shirt from Lane Bryant, about 4 years old and I hardly ever wear it.  But over the weekend I decided to bring it out, it just felt right!  And something about these diagonal stripes that makes this outfit look even more slimming.  Not only that but the Jamaican inspired colors on the shirt gives a very predominantly black outfit POP!  I have other plans for this shirt in the future that I hope will also work out.

The bag in this pic is DKNY and absolutely lovely!  Also, another oldie but goodie!

Did u enjoy the Super Bowl?

I loved Madonna's performance!  I hope everyone's Monday gets off to a great start!
