Bourbon St. Fun!

We went to bourbon the other night and it was so much fun! Something about having more fun when you know you look good!

I decided to wear this crop top I recently bought from Fashion to Figure. Last year, I didn't wear a crop top until summer. I was one of those who used to be self-concious about showing a little tummy , BUT NOT ANYMORE! They make for some of the cutest outfits! This top was really comfortable. I normally wear a 2x but I bought and 2x and 3x because I have a large bust. The 3x fit better. 

Blazer-Forever21+

Harem Pants-Forever 21+

Sandals- Charlotte Russe

Hat- Forever 21 

Jewelry- Torrid  

Swamp Ride in New Orleans

I went to Slidell to take a swamp tour, and it was so much fun! We saw alligators, wild boars, snakes and much more! I wanted to wear this dress for a long time since I bought it. It's from Forever 21+, and it comes in two colors, green & purple. It was really comfortable all day and the perfect amount of skin. I love the key hole feature in the middle! Better get it fast, been selling out left and right. My sandals are from Charlotte Russe, super inexpensive! My hat is also from Forever 21. I've always wanted a hat like this but could never find one to fit this head! Haha  

Vertical Stripes: Yay or Nay?

Many people think us "plus" girls shouldn't wear stripes, but I love wearing stripes! They can be vertical or horizontal, diagonal, chevron; I love them all! I think that as women, especially plus size, we should break down the barriers that society sets for us. I'm going to wear my purple, my stripes, my animal print, my crop tops, my short skirts and dress, etc. Enough with my rant lol here's one of my favorite outfits I've worn recently. As you can see, working for Torrid plays a big part in my wardrobe. I think 90% of my closet is Torrid, 5% is Forever 21 and the other 5% is ASOS and Fashion to Figure.

When we first got this shirt in my store, I didn't like it. We had two other chiffon, peplum shirts and they looked awful on me. I really needed more shirts to wear, so I looked around the store one last time and decided to try it on! I ended up loving it, as you can see. This shirt has a lot of different features. It has vertical stripes, hi-lo peplum bottom, button-down center, and much more. 

I decided to pair my favorite jewelry, at the moment, with this shirt! I love my gold lion necklace and matching bangles (in previous post). I usually pair silver or black with patterns like this but I wanted that pop of something. I also added a belt to break the shirt up and give me a defined waist. I would've paired it with a mirror belt but my store didn't get them. I ended up buying another belt that had gold on it and I just scooted the gold to the middle. The boots I wore were from last season. I don't wear them a lot so I thought it was a great time to wear them. They have faux leather straps and bow, which is in with the trend. I love the peep-toe and the wedge because it's comfortable and the shoes a little toe without being too open.

 

Ponte Knit Skinny Pants -------> (Super Comfortable)

The Ponte Pants are a very popular item for Torrid. They come in this style, a high-waisted pant and a slim bootleg. The pant comes in different color, based on season. They have a great amount of stretch and comfort for a dressy or casual occasion.

More photos from work. :) 

For my makeup, I went with a classic smokey eye and a dark lip (Oxford Wine from Revlon mixed with Satin Rebel from MAC).
