I did a post telling you about my fashion series which will basically consist of me recreating outfits with my own flavor and spice! Today my outfit inspiration  came from the fabulous Kim K who we all know and love. I love her sense of style and when I seen the pictured posted I got excited to go my closet and make magic. I didn't buy anything  for this casual  chic outfit I used what I already had and made the outfit my own which is so fun honey shop your own closet and get creative. Well I don't want to talk your  head off on to the inspiration  outfit hope you like it because I loved shopping my own closet!!

                 STYLE TIP: You can easily go cute and casually chic with a pair of flats a nice print, color, studded detailing, possibilities are endless! If you want to kick this outfit up a notch and go " sex kitten" grab a nice wedge bootie, heels, wedges, boots agin possibilities are endless do what suites your fancy!
                                                                                                                                                                   


                  STYLE TIP #2: Accessories can play up any outfit sometimes a nice bold statement piece will do all the talking for your outfit! Have fun with necklaces, earrings, bags, shoes, rings, bracelets ,etc.. With this outfit I went simple with a gold chunky  link necklace, bangles, and my flats  and bag happen to be studded with gold hardware!                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                                                       
STYLE TIP #3: Do what you want with LEOPARD lol seriously its like a neutral  for me if you know me personally then you know my love for leopard! You can style leopard  so many ways colors, prints, possibilities  are what?! ENDLESS!! Some people are scared of animal print but, its nothing  to be afraid of fashion is fun there are no rules and its ok to go through a " trail & error stage" !

Merry Christmas hope you enjoyed the holidays with your families! So she been been gone for a minute but, she back with the jump off YAS chile lol I love my look faux leather meets camo. I'm seriously having a BEYONCE moment  " I look so good tonight god damn god damn god damn I'm flawless" haha! Enough with me being silly of course  when you see my graphic tee you should know she is lost in a dream of plus size fashion!

Now lets get into my outfit that I loveeeee are you tired of all this talking yet ?! lol                                                                      
                                                                                                                                                                           
STYLE TIP: Have fun with simple clothing  & make it your own I dressed up a simple graphic tee into a chic look! Blazers and Jackets are great for taking a outfit to the next level which is what I did with my camo jacket!                                                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                                                   
STYLE TIP#2: If you don't like your legs or live in Chicago like me where its freezing lol still serve them up a side of legs ! I know many women who don't like their legs my answer to that is to have fun with tights. You can do printed tights, black/color tights, & girl when you are feeling sexy grab those fishnets!! I was feeling all types of sexy so today  I wore my fishnets because its to cold for bare legs plus I am working on my little hamhocks ;)

Military Chic : Military Vest , Boyfriend Jeans, & Boots!

Hey PLUS girls today I will be showcasing my military chic plus size outfit first let me just say I hope everybody had a great thanksgiving and enjoyed quality time with your families. So now on to the good stuff the  outfit lol I had so much fun  creating my outfit  with my key pieces  which are the military vest and boyfriend  jeans! I have been looking for a cute military style vest for awhile and finally found a cute one with studded detailing on the collar. When I came across my vest I knew I wanted to find plus size boyfriend  jeans because it would be so chic and edgy  with my black studded boots. I want to say if you like thrifting try to find a vest and boyfriend jeans at the thrift  store honey save those coins! You can make your own boyfriend  jeans I should be taking my own advice lol but, I got my jeans , vest , and boots on sale which is why I didn't go on a thrift  store hunt and do DIY projects.
I decided to wear a cute black beanie which I love only time I wear hats is fall/winter gold hoops , gold and leopard  bangles  , a three link gold chain, & my black skull studded shoulder  bag  for accessories!

Fashion Series: From Straight To PLUS!

Hey PLUS girls I have been thinking long and hard about different series I want to bring to my blog from straight to plus will be a new fashion series on my blog featuring inspiration outfit's that I remix and make my own! I'm super excited for this fashion series and I chose the name " From Straight To Plus" because I want people to know do not limit your fashion options! Just because you may see a outfit on a smaller figure doesn't mean you can't get creative remix that outfit and make it yours add your own flavor and spice honey! I will be shopping in my closet lol and going thrifting to create different  outfits for this series remember you do not have the break the bank to be fashion forward labels mean nothing! For example I will be balling on a budget when I recreate celebrity looks which for me is even more exciting to showcase fashion is way of life and adventurous not about labels and price tags! I think my first celebrity from straight to plus look will be featuring a outfit inspiration from LaLa Anthony. Take risk have fun fashion has no rules and for the  people who think rules exist tell them "honey lies you tell" explore and mix prints and colors go bold or honey go home don't ever feel the need to be boring or be in a box worrying about what the next thinks or has to say live your fashion life to the fullest! You beauties know I love to talk so let me stop and show you a example of my first from straight to plus outfit I got inspiration from a model on my favorite website ASOS CURVE!!!          
                                                                                                                                                                 
Faux Leather is so hot and sexy very trendy for fall possibilities  are endless you can dress faux leather leggings, pants, skirts, dresses, or shorts up or down I was inspired by a model from Asos Curve to recreate her outfit and make it my own!        


                                              
                                                                                       
                                           

 Be inspired and create magic be your own star and shine bright be willing to task risk try new things or experiences be daring and make people wonder " how did she pull that off" lol :)
