"Let me twirl my hair and bat my lash."

Long time no see dolls! 

Its been such a long time since I've done a post and my apologies! As you guys may know I'm back to school, so I'm pretty rusty at juggling school work. These photos were actually taken a couple weeks ago, before Amanda and I headed out to a friend's birthday. 

It was a low key bar scene so I decided to keep it simple. I've been OBSESSED with tall boots with tall socks, I try to wear them with all my fall outfits. The striped shirt was buried in my closet but really added a cute touch. I felt nautical and parisian :) 

**Thick calves/thigh? Having trouble with finding tall socks? I use very stretchy leg warmers! They give the illusion of thigh high socks. (I've gotten many of mine from H&M). I've also gotten many tall socks from sockdreamz.com. They have a wide plus size selection.** 

Clearly I need a break...or to go out more often. Curled hair?? EYESHADOW?!? 

I've been slacking on putting effort into the little things that make me feel more glamourous. No matter how hectic things can get, never forget a little self-care! 

The Canadian cold is playing tricks on us this year. One day it's windy and frigid, the next day I'm sweating in just a sweater. So no matter what I always need to be prepared, this is my fall-jacket-when-the-weather-kind-of-feels-more-like-winter jacket. 

I also kept accessories at a minimal so I just threw on my casio watch and a studded bracelet.

Striped top - H&M

Black skater skirt - ASOS Curve

Sheer black tights - ASOS Curve

Wool legwarmers - H&M

I think you guys knew this was coming... a nautical inspired outfit (surprised?). Even though I love anything nautical, I still want to spread some diversity across my half of the blog. But I do have to get back to my roots and dress up as a sailor in an unconventional way. 

This is an outfit I would love to wear out because it's kind of sexy but also represents my cute style. Sadly, I put this on so I could take pictures with Amanda in her backyard. The most interaction we had was being buffet food for the swarm of mosquitos (and when a dragonfly bumped into me). But if my social life really was kickin', I would be rocking an outfit like this. 

The top I'm wearing is actually a crop top! It's a shirt that typically wouldn't fit me (but thank god for cotton right?) so I have to make it look like it's tucked into something. The cut of the tank top isn't what I'm usually comfortable with, but I will do anything for a sailor inspired top. 

The tights were definitely not needed for this outfit, but I'm still trying to experiment with layering (accessories) and not always going for the bare minimum.

Ahoy there! To my old followers on youtube/tumblr or some lovely new ones! For my first outfit-of-the-day, I thought I could bring what I love most and represent on this blog; anything nautical :)

I guarantee you that the next few outfits posts from me will look extremely awkward because I am NOT used to posing for self portraits at all. I'm new to the plus size fashion world but I'm taking it by storm by wearing what I like and trying to love my body day-to-day.

Here I am wearing a basic nautical themed outfit. My view on maritime themed clothing can be broad but I love navy blue, stripes and anchors! I'm also wearing extensions, so you may have to get used to seeing me with all different lengths of hair :)

Outfit Details:
Wide neck striped t-shirt - Forever21+ (2xl)
Navy blue A-line skirt - Thrifted (1xl)
Black canvas shoes - Toms
Navy blue hair bow - Forever21
Black cord and gold anchor bracelet - ASOS.com
