NEW POST: Reading is Fundamental
Ima read that bitch
Ima school that bitch
I’m gonna take that bitch to college
I’m gonna give that bitch some knowledge
So let me give y’all some knowledge. You don’t have to stress out over making a dress fit whatever occasion you might have. Simple accessory changes can alter the feeling of an entire outfit.
With the addition of red pumps and a bright blue book clutch, the first look seems appropriate at both a bridal shower and at church/temple/wedding where everyone is asked to wear white. It could even be a patriotic bridal look for an impromptu 4th of July courthouse wedding.
Change out the pumps and clutch for blue velvet booties, a vintage gold necklace and pearl embellished round sunglasses, and you’ve got a laid-back, hippie-esq vibe. I could be off to go-go dance at a 60’s themed birthday party, or a Sunday brunch date at the hottest gluten-free, vegan joint in Williamsburg.
Same dress, different story.

Black, Out.
This dress makes me want to stand at attention and salute. Something about the high-neck collar, seaming details, and shiny gold buttons on an all black background subtly scream “military” at me. (Subtle screams are a thing, right?)
I don’t remember if it was rainy out, or if I was just having a noir mood day, but I went totally monochrome with my raven-hued ensemble. While I’m a color freak (I do love me some neon), sometimes I love wearing an entirely ebony outfit because it really highlights my flame-colored hair and I feel like a bad-ass cartoon superhero.
Just call me fashion woman! (No, that’s terrible.)
Call me P.S.! I may always be late, but I bring the fashion to people of all sizes and shapes! You too can have confidence and style and look good, thanks to the power of P.S.!

It’s a fashion blackout.
Whether I’m subconsciously influenced by the love of my last name, or because it’s such a versatile shade, I can’t help reaching for it when I’m in a rush to get ready.
I am obsessed with my vegan leather leggings from Lane Bryant; never did I find a more multifaceted pant than this buttery soft, sleek, edgy number. I truly feel that I could pair it with anything—from a casual t-shirt to a crystal studded blouse—and look completely put together. For this occasion I played off of my natural curves with a sheer lace peplum top, which I belted to increase the exaggerated proportions.
I’m still not over the collar trend, and I’ve taken it to a new level by embracing the stand-alone collar. The studs are what really sold me on this piece, adding a pinch of edge to an otherwise prim & proper concept. Topping off the outfit (bottoming off?) are my newest go-to favorite heels, my black suede and rose gold cap-toe heels. The combo of the rose gold and the suede is more unique compared to most other cap-toe heels on the market, which, of course, makes me love them even more.
I’m sure I’ll be back to color tomorrow, but for now… fade to black.

Molami Headphones Rock!
…this post will also be known as “No Pants Dance.”
So I was listening to some music the other day while wearing just a trench coat, sunglasses and heels (that’s believable, right?) and I realized that not only was the quality of my music lousy, my ugly, plain ol’ earbuds were bringing the down the level of my entire outfit.
So, I strapped on my ever-so-fashionable white silk & gold Molami earphone headband (the clarity! the style!) & boogied down with my bad-dancing white-girl bad self.
Headphones: Molami
Trench Coat: Target (Size XXL)
Shoes: Steve Madden (Size 9)

I went to the American Rag event at W.I.P. on Tuesday night where I was able to meet their new “It Girl,” Lenay Dunn. With her fresh-faced Midwest looks and sweet, bubbly personality, she was a far cry from the typical “It Girl” that’s plastered all over blogs with scraggly hair, a scowl and last night’s makeup smeared on her face. Lenay offered a charming and unjaded take on her thoughts about American Rag, Macy’s, fashion and music.
“Well, I’m American Rag’s new It Girl! It was cool,” she continued, “Macy’s reached out to me and said ‘We love the way you dress, the way you style yourself, we know you’re into music and fashion and we think you’d be great to represent our brand!’ And I was like wow thanks! Like, of course! It’s a partnership made in heaven, I love it!”
Not only will Lenay wear American Rag on her MTV show, 10 on Top, she will also be clad in American Rag as she reports from various shows and events this summer, such as Bamboozle, SXSW and Warped Tour. She will also be blogging for Raggedmag.com, the online American Rag Magazine.
P.S. American Rag also has a plus size line, American Rag Plus (which is where my awesome colored jeans are from!), that is available in Macy’s stores and online at: American Rag Plus
Lenay is wearing all American Rag.
I’m wearing:
Jeans: American Rag Plus
Top: Necessary Clothing
Shoes: Steve Madden
Belt: Target
Necklace: Forever21
Ring: Noir

Jason Wu for Target review
I am slightly ashamed that I woke up at 9 am on the morning of the Jason Wu for Target launch, but my fears were dissipated once I rushed inside. While the accessories were picked clean, almost every style of clothing in various sizes still hung on the racks, and I was thrilled to see that the sizing went up to a 16.
I quickly filled my shopping cart with multiple items, tallying up in my head how expensive this “cheap” shopping trip might be quickly turning into. However, when I began trying on items I instantly realized that I was not the same shape as whatever plus-size fit model that may have used.
The size 16 trench coat crushed my arms, was slightly strained on my chest and was enormous in my waist and hips. The same thing with the beautiful black dress, the blue/red/white shirt dress, and pretty much everything else I tried on. These items were not created with a large chest in mind.
I do wear a 38DDD, and my chest is only 2 inches smaller in circumference than my hips, but it is a rarity that a dress is huge on my waist & hips but I cannot even fit one breast worth inside. A huge dissapointment.
I walked away with nothing from the collection, but did manage to snag a few Target items that will surely make their way into future photo shoots.
Verdict: Best to go if you wear a 16 or below and have a much smaller chest. Happy shopping!
