Hi My Babeilicious Friends!

I have a confession to make. 90% of the clothes I currently have in my closet are from 2011 or older. Yep that’s right I’m broke as a joke and aside from some review items here and there I haven’t really been able to do much shopping over the last couple of years. While this isn’t ideal, especially for a fashion blogger, it has challenged me to try new things, wear my clothes in different ways and explore what I can do with items I currently have. This pretty much sums up today’s look which features a little bit of this and that for a casual yet fun and edgy style.

Wearing short shorts can be tricky especially as a curvy chick. First off you have to feel confident enough to wear them and feel good about how your body looks in them. Then its a matter of getting the right fit in the waist so they aren’t giving you that awful butt gap, but aren’t so tight that your tummy is hanging over. Challenging isn’t it? While I really couldn’t care less about my clothing being flattering on my curves I do care about a good fit that makes me feel good about myself. These shorts fit almost perfectly but are a tiny bit tighter in the waist then I would like effecting my look. I remedied this by wearing a loose fitting button up top to keep the look casual but with a tiny bit of sophistication as well.

This top from Foxcroft is really lovely, is true to size, and has a nice trim on the collar and sleeves that I really like. I also really appreciate the hi-low nature of the shirt and absolutely love how long the back is. My only complaint is that the sleeves are really long on this top, but since I don’t like long sleeves anyway and always end up pushing my sleeves up this worked out fine.

These shoes used to be really tight and uncomfortable hence why I wore them so infrequently I completely forgot I even owned them. Today when I slipped them on (really they look so fab I couldn’t resist) they actually seemed to fit better and were actually comfortable to wear as well.

Hi Friends!

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Last Saturday night my love and I went out on a much needed date and I decided to snap a couple photos before we left to share my outfit with you all. I apologize for the photos as I took them with my phone and there seems to be quite a bit of shadows from the trees in the photos. But it is all about the outfit afterall, isn’t it?

A few weeks back my friends at LucieLu sent me this lovely lace cardi and I have been dying to wear it in the right look and show it all to you.  When I received the Isabell Lace Cardi from LucieLu I was so incredibly pleased. In a size 3X it fits me like a dream and is very figure flattering with the vertical seaming running down the back with a large pleat at the back of the waist giving it some shape. This cardi is a great lightweight piece perfect for Spring and makes a great layering item in the wardrobe. It can easily bring some extra luxury and class to any look but is still fashion forward and modern at the same time. Overall I really love this lace cardi. High five LucieLu!

Stiletto Ankle Zip Skinny Jeans: Torrid/Animal Print Flats:Maurices

For the look I paired my LucieLu lace cardi with one of my favorite strappy tanks from City Chic. I love the detail on the bust and the bright red is absolutely divine. The spaghetti straps are adjustable which is a nice edition and the elastic at the bottom of the waist gives the flowy blouse the structure it needs. I paired the top with my  Torrid Stiletto Ankle Zip Skinnies and a pair of animal print flats, as well as some dangle gold black and silver earrings to add a little sass to the look!
