Peach lace

Sometimes you are blessed by the fashion gods and you find something that is so perfectly "you" that it sits in your closet because you're terrified to wear it incase you ruin it. 

This top was on a velvet hanger for way too long, I finally gave it life today! 

*sigh* it's just perfect.

The prettiest dress

I know what you're thinking "Lynne, where the hell have you been?" And "will you ever stop wearing THAT shade of yellow?" Well, to  the second question, no. To the first, I got into a pretty horrible car accident that led to a stint in hospital. I'm ok, but I almost wasn't. 

And then after that.... I have been at work. ALL.THE.TIME. My business partner has been on mandatory bed rest for a while which has meant that I have been working open to close every day. Things are nuts.

Anyway, it's nice to see you. I miss you. How are y'all doing?

Eye liner gods were smiling on me today :)

"Real Clothes" again.

I have been spending all my time getting to know my sweet Teddy, so I've only left the house a couple of times since his birth on the 2nd. Twice to get a cup of coffee, once to go to the grocery store, and today we went to get Shanes car fixed. I know, I know, exciting, right?

Having spent so long in pajamas, I decided I'd try on some "real clothes" to go out, and luckily they fit! Hooray!

 I even had time to paint my nails while Teddy took a nap!

Shirt- Target

Belt- ASOS Curve

Up until yesterday my feet were swollen so much that I could only fit into one pair of shoes, so this morning when I saw they had gone back to normal I just had to wear these booties. I scored them in the sale at Urban months ago, but haven't had an opportunity to wear them.

Suede Boots- Urban outfitters, Long Black Skirt- Macys

 

When you've spent a fortnight in fuzzy slippers a nice heel will make you feel like alive again...even on only a couple hours sleep.

Forever 21?

I am sooo in love with my new Forever 21 feather wrap and skinny jeans (13.50? Yes please!).

 I was so skeptical buying anything from there because I was scared that the clothes would be too small; but they're so lovely and the prices were so reasonable.

My favorite shopping website is without a doubt ASOS.com, but all the items I covet are too expensive for me to buy full price. It is lovely to have more thrifty options for trying out trends.

 

I may be a Forever 21 fan forever.

Now I just have to not check the website that often because they seem to add something new every day.

Are you a fan?

P.s. I love how I look like I'm giving myself the stank eye! Haha!

Something old, new, borrowed and BLUE!

Today I spent hours and hours filling out the forms to apply for American Citizenship. I took a little break to try something different.
I got this shirt last December (old), but I've never worn it (new), my friend Betsey has (borrowed), and it is the brightest BLUE I have ever seen!

Purse- Lucky Brand

Necklace- Givenchy

I loved this shirt so much when I saw it on ASOS.com, but in person it seemed a little intimidating.
The zipper detail on the back of the shirt made it look luxurious and fresh.
 For some reason plus size clothes don't usually have the design elements that straight sizes have, I don't know why.
 This makes me shop a lot at ASOS because I feel like they really understand my wants and needs.

I felt a little weird wearing a blue shirt with blue jeans, but it felt relaxed. I think if I had have worn the shirt with black trousers as I'd originally thought I would have looked as if I were going to "the office".

I think next time I'd wear it with a darker wash jean.

I decided to go for a matte pink lip with a hint of red to play off the bold blue shirt and neon green in my necklace. 

Coincidentally my nails have been blue all week too!  (MAC "Naughty Nauticals" from 2009 in case you were wondering)

 

A night on the town.

This evening me and my hubby went down town to check out an art exhibition featuring the Papertwins. We had a great time, and seen as though it was an art show and I knew everyone there would be a little edgier with their dress I decided to be brave and try a look I've admired on others for a while but have been too scared to wear myself. 

The jumpsuit.

Gold bracelets- Macys

Earrings- Fossil

I got mine from yoursclothing.co.uk for super super cheap during their end of year clearance. It was less than $20, which is pretty much the most I'll spend on something I want to "try" or is super "fashionable" and will be dated in 3 weeks tops :)

I have to say I was super comfortable all night, peeing was not a pain in the booty and I was complimented by those I knew and some strangers. The fabric is so soft that it felt as if I was wearing pajamas. 

I think it may just be my summer cocktail-night staple.

First outfit post

I thought I'd start this off with my favorite outfit of the moment.

I've been looking at ASOS Curve for a while. I think they have a lovely selection, and when they have a sale, they really have a sale!

Here's what it looked like on line; 

I got this dress because I thought it looked like something Angela Chase would wear from My So Called Life.
