Polka Dot Power! Domino Dollhouse

Button Button Top (Red/White) $29.99
Twist Tees Yellow Foxy Cami $18.50

I discovered Domino Dollhouse (sizes 1X-4X) a few weeks ago and was blown away by their bold, fabulous, fun patterns. Not your typical paisley plus-size clothing. and I'm a sucker for polka dots so when I saw the Button Button Top (Red/White) I had to have it!

An oversized, sheer blouse, short on the sides, cape style in the back, and lovely large sleeves. It is the most comfortable blouse I own and paired with a Twist Tees Yellow Foxy Cami from Torrid it is part of the brightest outfit I've ever put together! I received so many compliments!

The Button Button Top also comes in Blue/White
and White/Black

Bowler Hat $17.99

This   wonderful Bowler Hat (Also from Domino Dollhouse) completed my outfit. The closest thing I've come to in hats are beanies. It's always been really difficult to fit hats to my head shape, and until I took a chance with this bowler, my hat confidence was in shambles! I absolutely adore my new chapeau!

Sweet Buy: Plaid Princess

Pictured Size:3

PLAID! Plaid always makes me happy!
To the left, I am pictured in a Red Lurex Plaid Shirt with button cinching in the back to really make it really hug your curves . (I didn't discover the buttons until I tried it on. Pleasant surprise!)
Unlike some droopy plaid tops, this one seemes to really understand a lady's body. The sleeves are long but I rolled them up. I always mean business!
Find this top at your local Torrid or online in red, teal and black, or purple!
I like to wear it with leggings and a pair of oxford flats, but the shirt can really come together with any choice of bottoms! Click the picture below for more product info!

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!

Tribal Shawl Collar Cardigan

$24.80

        Hello! I'm back! Please excuse the months and months of absence but big changes have taken place! I moved up to NorCal for school, I'm still settling into the way of things up here and guess what….
THERE'S NO TORRID OR FOREVER 21 out here! I have been stripped away from my places of worship! OH THE HUMANITY! Luckily there's always online shopping!
It's cold up here and now comes the time to pack away the shorts and tank tops and bust out the sweaters! I didn't seem to pack enough, but that slight problem has allowed me to present the excuse that I need to buy more! Item A to the left proves that I've done just that.
   
  Straight from Forever 21+, a navy/hot pink Tribal Shawl Cardigan.
100% acrylic
Banded hemline and cuff
Long sleeved
HAND WASH ONLY
     
        If you're a patron of Forever 21, you'll notice that all their apparel is of the utmost delicate nature and can ONLY be hand washed. It's a knit cardi, and light to medium in weight. I wouldn't recommend it for a 40 degree day, but it's nice for those nippy mornings. I'm picture wearing a size 3X. Below you can see the pattern up close. Click the picture of the model to go directly to the product page! Keep an eye out for some great deals on the site! A fe days ago there was a sale on $7.99 basic dress BOGO and within half an hour they sold out! Getting more for your money is NEVER a bad thing!

  

Sweet Buys! Skull and Cross bone Summer!

I'm not usually one to purchase a top with an elastic hem and no bust cinching, but I was pleasently surprised by this navy chiffon blouse from Torrid. 100% polyester, the sheer top is perfect for a lovely, breezy summer night. I'm wearing a tank top underneath so as not to be overexposed!

At first glance, it may look like a simple polka dot pattern. There are dots but you'll find that the pattern also includes skull and crossbones!
A cutsey detail for the lady pirate in us all!
