Mixed Up in the Spring

Happy Spring everyone! It's been a while, and I figured I should re-surface during the season of growth! Along with my re-vamped blog site, I come gracing you with a new outfit of the day!

Today, I decided to mix prints like only I can. I was talking to a fellow fashionista the other day, and she asked me what were some of my go-to spring trends/fashions. My answer was simple; mixing prints, dramatic sleeves, and an ode to the 80's and 90's fashions that have quickly been resurfacing.

I did 2 of my 3 staples in this outfit, and I'll have to resist the urge to wear the outfit again and again.

This peep shoulder top is a couture find I scored from California. A funny story about this piece: I almost  regretted purchasing it. You see, I'm a bit of a thrifty shopper, and there a certain pieces I wouldn't dare spending so much money on. And one look at this top, and I thought I could find it somewhere cheaper. But the quality put into this is like no other! My plus size gals know what a struggle the arm area can be. This piece does not disappoint, with extra roomy arms, mostly due to the stretch elastic feature near the shoulders. The bell half-sleeve also provided some extra airiness, perfect for a warmer spring day.

The mixing part of my ensemble came easily with the horizontal stripes. A tip for you curvy girls who love stripes, the smaller the stripe, the better!

Moral of the story: Don't be afraid to mix it up a bit! Fashion is what you make it!

Summer Midi Skirts

Summer is in full swing! To celebrate, I donned this textured midi swing skirt I got form Forman Mills last summer.Anyone who's not familiar with Forman Mills should get familiar ASAP. Think Burlington Coat Factory crossed with Rainbow Shops. They keep up with the trends and make nice with your pockets at the same time.  It's funny how we women buy something in the moment and then cast it away to the nether-regions of our closet for a WAY later date. Either way, this skirt was comfortable, cute, and classic with its texture, style, and color. The waist band is an elastic, perfect for tucking a longer top into it. I paired the ensemble with this cross strap open toe cork wedges I got from Charlotte Russe, also a few summers back. No worries though! I've put the link to some similar items.

Sunshine On a Cloudy Day

This week's weather has been a direct contrast to last week's warm breeze and sunny skies. There's been a lot of rain generously watering our grass and plants. I'm excited to actually have a spring season though. For anyone who's lived in the Poconos for an extended period of time,you know that we've had a Winter to Summer season shift. There's rarely an in between,so these mid temperature days are more than welcomed.

This week's outfit reflected the spring season,but still represented the cold rainy days we've been having with the warm blues and vibrant flowers that usually grow as a result of a plentiful rain. 

This floral midi skirt if from the brand Bobeau. I got it form Bon-Ton at 30% off. Purchasing this skirt was one of the times where "try it on" definitely rang true. It has a lot of stretch to it that I wouldn't have known had I not trusted my gut and stepped into the fitting room.Also, I don't normally shop in Bon-Ton because the price tags turn me away, but I wasn't disappointed. 

I paired the ensemble with this light wash denim top as well as these bright blue/green pumps from Lola Shoetique. Every year, the store sells pumps in all colors of the rainbow. Beware, they run a bit big. This pair is an 8.5 (my regular shoe size), and I still had some space in the shoe
