Oh Dolly…

FINALLY WORE THE BOOTS!!! Felt like a queen out there and several ladies had to know the story behind them. I wore them with paper bag denim jeans from Zara and a Dolly Parton shirt to keep on theme. I didn't have a bucket bag readily available so a tote bag did the trick. Add some sunglasses and I took on the city with all the confidence in the world.

Witchy Outfit.

I've been listening! Mary Jane’s, satin long skirts…trust me I read about what's “trending” and if I got it I'll spin it. That's my motto always. Today's outfit felt witchy in the best way. Found a choker I'd been looking for for a long time now and I was so happy I put it on quickly! Might change the pendant I'm not sure yet.

You ever keep photos in the drafts because you didn't feel your best that day reflected in the photos? That's been me about this set for some time. What you don’t see is the crying I did about the day.

Neutrals.

What can I say I'm a true New Yorker. I wouldn't want color if it was the last outfit on earth. It's rare when I do and I've really goi@tta feel the outfit.

All Black Everything.

Promise you this outfit was put together weeks ago when it wasn't a hellscape outside! What can I say? I’m a true New Yorker. Neutrals are the name of the game and black is a staple not just an option. It was hot enough to try my lace top finally. I've been trying to figure out how to wear it and finally opted for all-black.

MidSize Shopping: Brands I'm Wearing Lately.

To be a size 12-14 is so challenging at times. I’m a Large in one store while I fit better in XL in others. I’ve gained some of my weight back from when I lost a ton 3 years ago so my sizing is really all over the place. I’m a solid 185lb right now and plan on loosing some as the end of the year approaches. If I could get to a 10-12 like I was in 2021 and maintain it I’m ok! This post isn’t about that though! It’s about where i’m shopping lately!

The Sweetness.

Ask me how fast the jacket came off because of this heat. It's the one piece in my closet I couldn't figure out until one day I found myself building an athletic vibe but wanted to cover up just a little. I tried it for fun — inside my apartment with the AC blaring. I forgot that all bets are off once you step outside.

G.A.B. Until I Die, Happy 4th of July!

In all reality I wear this crop top often and I’m pretty sure I made my building manager very uncomfortable when I answered the door the other day in it. Ask me how many times in life I’ve been called a b**** I'd laugh and tell you plenty. While I can be passive, I can also set boundaries, stand my ground and speak up when I need to. If that makes me unbearable so be it. I don’t care.

She Wears Shorts.

You know me. I don't wear shorts often. I have thick thighs and while I love my Mega Babe chaffing stick sometimes I just don't wanna show the thighs off. I grabbed these shorts at NY&Co. & loved them so much. They've got a bit of a stretch to them that I love and navy always works well with my complexion. They are definitely good for the kind of weather we've been getting in NYC lately.

Just Float.

Oh, how this day felt good. It's always fun when the Attack on Titan jacket is the one that works best for the outfit. Got it at USJ in 2020 during Cool Japan and never looked back. It's rare when it gets worn but when it does it's good. I think its the color of the pants. A nice military green. Always works well with other earth tones.

She’s Got Color On!

Now if you have been here for a while you know I don't do this much color usually. In a sharp left turn, I decided to wear the brightest colors in my closet for a Spring/Summer transitional style that you could wear day or night. Love that the blazer is a lighter fabric. It's been so humid lately and I need breathable clothing or else I'm not doing it! Don't care what it is!

Mickey’s Girl.

Forever his girl. What can I say? Whenever possible I take the opportunity to throw on a Disney style just for the fun of it and this day was no different. I initially wanted to wear high heels with no socks but that got shot down once I tried the knee highs on. Loafers had to be the shoe of choice and I had just the pair to wear.
