OOTD: Too much is never enough

plus size outfit hot pink skater dress and rainbow leggings

So you know that craft fair I went to, where I found I’m Your Present and fell in love? Well, I got a few things there, and decided I had to wear them ALL AT ONCE for my recent holiday party.

And then I thought, why stop with multiple pieces of large mirrored jewelry? Why not add a sparkly star crown and iridescent boots, just for good measure?

August wishlist: birthday edition

Posted in Uncategorized by

In honor of my birthday, which is coming up tomorrow–can you believe I’m going to be 28?!–I’ve put together a compilation of things I’d love to get if a magical fairy fatmother showed up waving her wand at my front door.

If I actually had a fairy fatmother, the first thing I’d ask for would be a stable, satisfying job with good pay and benefits–but pretty things are much more fun to fantasize about.

You can click each image to go to the Polyvore set, which has the details.

August wishlist 1

 Cats, dogs, roses, rainbows…some things really haven’t changed in the last twenty years.

August wishlist 2

 I SO want these Nirvana and Courtney Love dresses from Vera’s Eye Candy, which I found through Betties N Brimstone–who had a dress custom-made in her size. Nirvana and Hole were a big part of my adolescent years, and I’d love to be able to wear that history on my body.

Vera’s Eye Candy also carries various items in the same fabrics as Domino Dollhouse – for example, this galaxy top and dress, and this rainbow digital print dress.

August wishlist 3

Another thing I would love to have, but that Polyvore wouldn’t let me clip, is a custom illustration by Natalie Perkins. Here are a few of my favorites that she’s drawn so far (via FLI’s Facebook page)–aren’t they gorgeous?

OOTD: Bright and colorful, and a giant inflatable pickle

Posted in Outfit of the Day by

This is what I wore to my friend’s laser tag/arcade games/Irish pub/historic-hotel-hanging-out birthday party. (Well, at least for the daytime parts–I changed into my favorite red dress for the evening).

Both the tank top and shorts/capris are from Lane Bryant–in fact, they’re the ones I mentioned in this post. I love finally having a pair of soft, stretchy, comfortable bottoms that are actually colorful!

Tank top and shorts: Lane Bryant, sandals: Clark’s (from a local shoe store, but this style is now discontinued), TARDIS earrings: gift from Steve, headband: Target, slinky worn as bracelet: found in a box of free stuff on the curb (yes, really! my neighborhood is awesome), bangles: Deb, necklace: Kelsea Echo Studio
