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.

I would call this outfit “Look, but don’t touch.”
And I’m sorry I’ve been slacking on my outfit posts! Life has become quite busy quite quickly, but I think things are settling back down. So, on to the important shiz!
This entire outfit revolved around the pin/necklace. (Pecklace? Nin? Pinlace?) I snatched it up during the last awesome ASOS sale; how could I say no to this amazing cockroach/cicada (I don’t know bugs, alright!) statement piece? It adds an *almost* classic ladies-that-lunch look to my black & white ensemble.
The dress was another ASOS sale purchase- I couldn’t pass up the amazing print & the higher neckline was a nice departure from my usually cleavage-baring styles!
Accessories wise, I strapped on my highest snake print wedges, threw on some architectural shades & grabbed my trusty black H&M clutch. I cinched my vegan leather black belt as tight as I possibly could to accentuate my shape even further. *Disclaimer* Do not wear a belt this tight for an entire night or you might pass out from the major squishing.
(Is it just me, or does the first picture look like I’m daring someone to mess with me?)

You ever find something so amazing that you can’t wait to tell everyone about it? Well, the Elomi swim line is one of those things!
Made specifically for full figured women, Elomi understands the curves of a woman’s body and crafts their swimsuits and lingerie to compliment your shape, not fight it.
While I was already a big fan of Elomi’s products (the black bra I’m wearing in my “after” bra picture is by them), I was thrilled to see they had expanded into swim. And they didn’t just dip a toe, they jumped right in, with an amazing three-piece swim system, and most importantly, the swim bra.
The swim bra fits (and is sized) just like a regular bra. It’s an amazing foundation for any swim look, allowing you to wear it as a bikini top or layer it under a tankini, one-piece or similar swim top.
Most swimsuits (straight & plus-sized) don’t offer enough support, and the larger your breasts are, the more support you need in your swimwear. Now you have a promise of the lift and comfort you need, in a versatile layer-able style.
The line comes with two different colored swim bras, three different styled bottoms (high-waist, mid-waist and skirted), and a few different patterned & styled tankinis (ruched, flared, solid & abstract). So, depending on your personal style & how much coverage you desire, you can create your perfect swimsuit!
I just don’t recommend swimming with a pony hair belt on.
Check out more plus-size swim options from BarePlus! (Also, their Friends & Family sale is going on right now & you can save 25% on Elomi swim & other amazing products!)

Hi-Lo there everybody!
I’m a big fan of clothes that can do double-duty, and I’m a strong believer in finding new ways to wear clothing you already own. You can’t afford to get that new short leopard print skirt but you already own a long leopard print skirt? You can make your clothes work for you.
I’ve had this mid-calf length leopard print skirt from Forever21 for a while. I like the subdued color on an otherwise lively print. It elevates the maturity of the skirt without making it matronly. However, a mid-calf length can be difficult to pull off. Not exactly as lengthening as a maxi, and not nearly as showy as a knee-length or mini skirt. Leaving it down gives the outfit a slightly Rockabilly style, and offers more coverage of course for those bad leg days. (We’ve all been there).
Wanting a more youthful, fun & easy look, I raised the hemline by folding the skirt in half and tucking it into the waistband, which I then secured by adding a belt. The jewel-dotted grey t-shirt helps keep the tonal theme going, and it makes my bazungas look awesome.
The shoes were a have-to-have purchase from Marshalls; they were marked way down (only $25) and I feel like I have an update of Dorothy’s ruby red slippers. She may have knocked them together in hopes of getting home… I hope mine bring me to the mall.

Be the Next Curvy Kate!
To all my curvy, full busted followers: finally there is a modeling contest made for your assets! Tomorrow marks the first ever Curvy Kate U.S. model search, Star in a Bra! (Previously it was only open to UK, Ireland & Australia residents).
You don’t have to wear Curvy Kate lingerie to try out, but as they want to see how your curves fill out their beautiful bras and panties it certainly wouldn’t hurt to pour yourself into some cute Curvy Kate intimates!
The easiest way to get your fingers on their lovely lacies is by heading over to Bare Plus (the Bare Necessities site for the Full Figured Woman)! You can also find out more information about the model search on their site and on their facebook page.
For even more info, check out Curvy Kate!
Clash, don’t match! (Okay, sometimes I like to match, but only prints and patterns and colors and stuff…)
I had been searching for a vivid floral print skirt for a while now, and I happened upon this amazing number in the racks in H&M. It has an exposed zipper running up the back of it, which adds a bit of edge to the skirt.
While the sheer leopard print button-down top is a clashing print, its muted tone prevents it from tackily clashing, and allows it to blendily clash. (I’m tired & I’m making up my own words now, deal with it.)
I LOVE D.I.Y. and any time I see something I like but can’t afford I always think “Can I make that myself?” My necklace was inspired by the phenomenal jewelry designer Tom Binns; I bought a cheap-o crystal necklace and painted it with neon nailpolish (D.I.Y. to be shown in a later post). My shoes were inspired by spiky things… I love studs & spikes, and there just aren’t enough shoes on the market that fit that bill (that aren’t completely out of world price-wise), so fuck it, I made my own!
I encourage you all- Clash prints & make things yourself!
Top: Old Navy
Skirt: H&M
Shoes: Kohl’s (But spiked by me)
Necklace: Forever21 (Painted with neon colors by me)

I don’t purr, I ROAR! When I walk into a room everyone takes notice. There is so much glam in me it overflows.
Again, like my all-over leopard print outfit, I cannot keep my Jerseyness bottled inside all the time, and sometimes it explodes out like an exorcism.
Except for my practically translucent pale skin (which most NJers would not be caught dead looking like), the mix of tiger (or zebra, I can never tell the difference on clothes), snake and leopard prints is a perfect mixture of animal prints. Even though they can be clashing prints, they work together because they’re in a similar color family.
The dress accentuates my curves and *ahem* shows off my assets- I can almost here the beat of the drum as I strut by. This dress is a killer. I may seem soft, but Kitty’s got claws…
