Yellow Shorts

I'm a Summer baby and to me, that means I wear a little more color in the summer as opposed to any other time of the year!  These Yellow shorts from Lane Bryant which I bought last summer in a couple of colors are some of my favs!  It truly brightens up my day and any look!  Then I added this Forever21 netted hoodie!

Can't go anywhere without my Asos glasses!

XOXO~~~  SAMILLE

Asos Peplum

 

I've been eyeing this stripped Asos Peplum for a while now!  For one, I love stripes, ( in fact I'm wearing tripes right now!) but I was also unsure of the peplum style.  Considering I carry most of my weight in my stomach ( I don't like it and am working on it) I was afraid it wound enhance it.  But I'm actually really happy with the peplum style, and plan to incorporate more into my wardrobe.  I also think its a great way to make any outfit more feminine, without adding flowers n such.  I paired it with this stretchy bandage skirt I've had in my closet for a while  Different from the pencil skirt by Kiyonna from the last post.  But just as cute n comfy.  Paired it with my favorite thrifted bag I've been rocking for the past few months n whipped out these Steve Madden boots that I've been dying to wear.  Since I could never get my hands on the Jeffrey Campbell starburst these were the next best thing.  I wore my LOVE earrings from Asos too!  Didn't really get to see them in these pics but check out my INSTAGRAM @thickspot, you will see them there.  It felt good.

OOTD: WELCOME BACK!

My 2nd to last semester started on Tuesday and I was feeling it.  It was cold as hell but I'm not gonna lie I was glad to be back.  Speaking of cold it seems to be getting colder and colder everyday and now I think I'm coming down with something. 

I hope you guys enjoy this post compared to the last one.  The last one for some reason just wouldn't show up right for whatever reason.

I did wear a hugely oversized coat on the first day too!  But these shows just display the outfit.  I wish I could have got more shots of my earrings.  They were fab!  Next time tho!  Promise.

Don't forget to follow me on INSTAGRAM @thickspot!!!

PEACE AND LOVE

I love these leggings!  They are my second time wearing them and in my opinion TORRID has the best plus size leggings!

Flowers??? A lil bit!

 

 

 

 I never posted these pics although I did post one or two of them on my instagram when I first took them.  I thought my hair looked absolutely insane and my yellow bra I wore underneath this sheer shirt was exposed by the Camera's flash.  However looking back at them I realized WOW I look smaller here.  So now I love them.  This was at my height of doing meatless Mondays and eating better so I finally decided to share. 

Flowers?  Yeah, I'm not the type of chick that particularly loves flowers.  I mean I love getting them and smelling them and all that cute shit.  But I don't really like wearing them.  It's Not me!!!  However, every once in a while you find a floral print u fall in love with and gotta have.  I love this shirt.  The flowers, how sheer it is, and how it hangs off the body.  So comfortable and forgiving yet stylish.  I got it from K-MART.  I say often, "Don't sleep on K-MART", that LYS collection for the curvy women is so brilliant.  Offering u the styles and price every woman can adore.  As for the bra, let me tell you, I am a firm believer in wearing colorful undergarments.  Sometimes not realizing they are exposed.  But they make me feel sexy and people usually seem surprised that a big girl can find colorful bras and undies and even more shocked that she has the audacity to wear them.  Most of my under garments are extremely flamboyant.  Sorry if my bra showing looks tacky.  I really didn't know.

Places I've Never shopped

I consider myself somewhat of a shopaholic.  I shop pretty often and could almost all day everyday if I had the funds to do so.  But of course like many people I am a repeat offender.  My heart longs and caters to some of the same shops.  Just like a Doctor or a Hairstylist when you find the right one that never seems to steer you wrong you keep coming back and back.  Thats how I am with ASOS, Forever21, Target, Torrid, K-Mart, Ross, Marshalls, Ashley Stewart and my favorite thrift store in Hamilton, NJ.  I've had a bad experience with London fashion super store EVANS, that has prevented me from shopping there again although I often look through their catalog longing to wear their items.

This year I recently started shopping from SimplyBe and absolutely love it.  The cut, the fit, the style, the fabrics they leave longing for more.  I wish there were possibly a little more affordable but I do believe their clothes are worth it.  I also returned to shop at Lane Bryant.  Usually finding their clothes to be somewhat off trend, it is my understanding they have a new creative director and was bought out charmers shoppes inc..  However I have conflicting stories to know the truth of that rumor but now I think they are starting to cater to the young plus size women and still keep their solid following of the working/business plus size women.  With that said, I have made some fabulous purchases from them as of late. 

Stores however that I am eager to try out are as follows:

Modcloth is top on my list.  The fact that they have a large selection of clothes that go up to a size 4x truly turns me on.  Saddly they seem to sell out of their VERY plus size stuff quickly.  Visually I see why...they have vintage or vintage inspired pieces that big girls long for.  Those old classic Donna Reid cuts or those festive paterns from yester years.  They are exspensive at least for me but are made in America which totally makes me want to support!  They seem like rare artisian Gems. 

nakimuli run and owned by a funky little chick named Tennille Nakimuli caters to the woman pushing the plus size boundaries.  She makes straight sizes and plus sizes and custom pieces all out of Brooklyn.  Many Celebs curvy and not (Jill Scott & Erykah Badu) have been spotted rocking her stuff.  I have been in awww of her things for a while and soon I will be coping my first piece of hers.  Definitely a New Years resolution.  Please check her out.  Follow her on Instagram she is amazing.

17 Sundays Is a Australian based company that has very interested jackets and other cute items that definitely make me wanna possibly explore making a purchase.  The name is also fitting, they were  going for what it was like when we were 17.  But I do find them extremely exspensive.

donatellas WOW~!  This is a site that I will probably make a purchase as soon as Christmas is over and I'm done shopping for others.  They have leggings, tights and hoisery that goes up to like a 7x!!!  Thats too cool, you can't say they discriminate and they have free shipping worldwide from LONDON!  I'm in love!

out of the corner boutique These clothes are sooo cute so trendy.  I discovered it recently when Mia of http://diaryofafatshionista.com/ mentioned them on one of her post.  Most of the clothes I want are sold out for the season.  So I'm really looking forward to their spring styles.  Look at this...

It is apart of my new years resolution incorporate some of these fashions in my day to day wardrobe!
