Sweet Buy Stripes!

I was so very close to posting a picture taken with a real camera but the resulting photos were very fuzzy, so here I am with my handy camera phone!
Over the holidays I acquired a lot of fabulous Torrid pieces, so hopefully there will be more updates!
I'm quite the regular at my local Torrid, so much so that a couple members of staff have memorized my sizes! One staff member went to the back and came out with some lovely items, including the striped ponte jacket pictured.

Black and White Striped Cropped Ponte Jacket
The cropped jacket gives a flair of femininity with ruched sleeves and for those of you that like a little closure, there is a single button. The only con I find (a con that I find with most blazers produced by Torrid) is that the jacket has fake pockets….WHY TORRID?! Ladies need pockets too!  Size Pictured: 3

Tripp NYC Black Skinny Pant
I haven't had a nice pair of black pants for a while. This pair really hugs the curves, however I realized that although, at the time, I was wearing a size 22 in jeans, I needed to buy a the black pants in a size bigger (24). And for those that like a bit of stretch and love the feel of Source of Wisdom, you may find yourself pining for those blue jeans since the waistline of the Tripp pants isn't very stretchy. However I find them comfortable enough and I love that they are versatile, so whether you're in a fun flirty mood, or you're ready for business, slip into these with a nice pair of chucks, wedges, or heels and you're good to go! Size Pictured: 24R


Striped Tank Top
The tank top pictured is a top I've had since high school. Purchased at Hot Topic in the throws of my punk/goth youth, I used it in my stripey ensemble today and I must say it worked wonderfully. Personally, I would not venture to partner a top with a very busy patterns with the jacket. Stripes or solid colours would be my approach, but honestly to each their own!

Sweet Buy Saturday

Keds Rapture Boat Shoe

I won't have access to a computer until Saturday night, so an early post won't hurt right?!
A couple of weekends ago I noticed a friends' new boat shoes. I was jealous of his fancy footwear and swore on the stars that I would find a pair for myself.

Two days after the trip. I found a pair for myself.

With my recent love of skinny jeans comes the need for appropriate shoes and I find that these are a sweet addition to most types of pants. They are very comfortable and I like the cute plaid detail ^_^

I bought them at JCPenney for $25 but it seems the price has gone up about $10. Click the picture to buy!

Shorts Shorts Shorts!

Oh gosh, there go the SHORTS alerts in my inbox!

Check out Torrid for new tops, shoes, and accessories to go with an old or new pair of shorts!

My personal favourites are the Source of Wisdom rolled tab shorts. (Well anything SOW is pretty much my go-to!) and the henley tops.

You'll notice some blazers as well as tights. Well the idea is that it's still cold, so until then, dress accordingly….with shorts!.

The hardest thing is getting these legs "shorts-ready."

Looking down my legs are pale, and looking outside…there are clouds in the sky.

Oh spring are you really here??

Torrid: Plus Size Paradise

A common name amongst the fluffly ladies, and if you haven't heard of Torrid, you're missing out.

I am a devoted follower of the church of Torrid. From the days when they specialized in goth couture, fanged teddy bear graphic tees and white makeup to the glitzy, glamorous duds they sell now. . They catered to my high school phase of dark, emo, and mysterious. When they did a complete 360 and turned towards flower prints and pastels, it was quite refreshing. There are times when some of their fashions don't meet my personal taste but to each their own!

I would say that 95% of my wardrobe consists of clothes and shoes from Torrid. They create fashions for all sorts of tastes. The shoes are specially made to fit a wider foot and calf and the size range is accommodating to a variety of women.

They feature brands such as Fergie, Dollhouse, LA Ink, and even Betsey Johnson!
