Flirty In Floral

Who says big girls can't wear shorts??!! I used to. But now that I have a new outlook on fashion for us curvy girls, I honestly believe that WE can wear anything... in good taste of course :)

I am definitely an advocate for curvy girls and wearing what smaller women wear, but definitely against wearing anything unflattering for the figure. That's just a basic principle, no matter what size you are. Everything in good taste.

So, I always thought that bigger girls couldn't wear shorts and anytime I ever saw them on a full-figured woman, I thought, "My God, what was she thinking?!", but I have to say (not just because I'm wearing them) that these pair of flirty floral shorts by American Eagle Outfitters (via Posh) have transformed my thinking and broadened my previous leg-baring limitations.

First I want to say that I managed to get my entire outfit just under $31! Pretty amazing, right?!

Second, I am so in love with these shorts! The sort of muted vibrancy of them intrigues me; pinks and greens on a neutral background of peach and cream and  navy blue sprinkles to top it off... sounds like ice cream lol

I paired the shorts with a cream tank from Old Navy that I've had in my closet for years; tucked it in for a more refined look. I added my coral bubble necklace (J. Crew inspired) and teal tasseled flats (by Merona) that I scored on Poshmark. The denim jacket came more from necessity. This New England weather is super unpredictable, so having a cover in case it gets chilly or rains cats and dogs is almost always a must. I rolled up the sleeves a bit for a preppy look.

I'm so inspired by these shorts that I'll definitely be blogging about the other pair that I bought soon and investing in more.

A Spring of Inspiration

Is anyone else dreading the winter already?! Well, I was over it before it started. I'm not a snow-loving kinda gal. I like it cool, but comfortable. Fall is truly my season and Spring is close second. This year I plan on taking my wardrobe to a new level and making it bolder, brighter, and more luxurious. I love thrifting, but I have an eye for expensive things (don't all of us women?).

Here a few inspirations that I'm going for:

I've always admired the femininity that Janelle Monae brings to menswear. I'm loving the denim short with suspenders. The only thing that's missing is the Warby Parkers! (geek specs)

Here, Janelle Monae is rocking some serious color. I love the impact that the different colors have all together and this neck piece is TO DIE FOR!!!! I'm trying to get my hair like this, too.

Beyonce: Such an amazing performer. She definitely puts to rest the myth that you can't look amazing, be comfortable and be a mom. This is definitely a casual, relaxed vacation in the Bahamas look.

I definitely need some rompers in my life! Note: Solange Knowles is a beast. Her look is ecclectic and refreshing. Everything I see her in, I love.... So, shout out to Solange Knowles for being my biggest fashion inspiration :)

More inspirations to come.... :)
