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.

You’re gonna poke your eye out!
Alright, so the original quote actually says “shoot,” but seriously, potato, potato. (Boy, does that sound better when you say it out loud…)
Either way, I prefer my jewelry dangerous. Whether that means it could double as a weapon or it just looks intimidating, each spiked necklace or Brooklyn Bridge ring gives me a touch of edge that might otherwise be missing from my outfit.
I wore this outfit to two events last Thursday; the Gc Timepiece preview & the Demi Monde grand opening party. I’m obviously a big fan of leopard print, so when I’m in a rush I typically grab for the pattern in my packed closet. This tunic/dress is actually from the straight size section of Forever21, which shows you how it’s important to always try things on.
The tunic/dress needed a belt to give it shape and highlight my hourglass figure. I love how neon shades pair with the neutral of the leopard print, and while I typically don’t do the whole matchy-matchy of the same shade in a cardigan & belt, it was the easiest pairing for a rush.
The black leggings & platform wedges helped ground the outfit, and prevent it from becoming too over-the-top. …although, who am I really kidding? Most of my outfits are over-the-top.

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?)

What’s black & white & me all over? (Yes, I think I may have used a similar joke like that before, but whatever, it’s my blog & IdowhatIwant!)
As I’ve said in the past, I’m a big fan of clashing/matching prints. (Clamashing? Clatching? Mashing? ….I guess mashing is a word already, so we’ll go with that.) And with a intensely patterned black & white dress (with neon green piping), it was just natural to pair a black & white zebra print belt, neon green & snake print platform heels, neon shades, neon necklace & a neon bag.
While it sounds like a lot of neon, the black & white dress grounds the bright colors and prevents them from overpowering the entire look. Personally, I love neon & have no problem wearing an bold neon-centric look, but most people are not comfortable doing so.
If I can ever impart any fashion wisdom on you it would be this, try things. Put colors together you think shouldn’t go, put two (or more) busy patterns together, wear neon, wear white, wear stripes, wear everything that people say big girls can’t wear. Screw ‘em.

It’s time to get rid of your smashing, overflowing, too small or too big bras & finally wear one that’s jusssssssst right.
80% of women are wearing the wrong size bra (and you’re probably one of them). After being inundated with advertising that shows women wearing undersized push-up bras that they’re spilling out of, the average woman thinks it’s normal to be falling out of her bra cups and making constant strap and band adjustments. I’m here to tell you that’s not the way it’s suppose to be!
BarePlus.com, the amazing plus size intimates site, understands the pain & frustration that full figured women endure when it comes to finding a great-fitting bra. They want you to find your perfect fit and the perfect bra for your bust. Thanks to their amazing fit tips and their fabulously helpful customer service, you’re practically guaranteed to find the bra of your dreams!
And what’s the best way to begin your brand new relationship? With a $100 gift card of course! How can you win? Easy! Just LIKE Bareplus on Facebook and tell them your worst bra story and/or why you need an intimates makeover! The winner will be chosen Thursday the 26th, so LIKE Bareplus on Facebook & enter now!!
(And yes, that’s me up there: I was wearing a 38DDD in the grey bra… turns out I’m actually a 38GG. Huge difference in fit & comfort, and I no longer have awkward moments where I realize my chest has spilled out of my bra. Hurray good bras!)
This giveaway is sponsored by Bareplus by Barenecessities.com. P.S. It’s Fashion is hosting the giveaway.
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.
