Winter Warmth

I got this amazing blanket sweater from Simply Be recently. I placed my order weeks and weeks ago, and knowing that Atlanta usually has maybe 3 days of sweater weather I was watching my mailbox everyday!
When it finally got here it was still cold enough outside so I wrapped myself in its deliciousness and enjoyed every minute.
I wish winter would last longer.

Rockabilly cheapskate

 

Those websites that have rockabilly clothing for plus size bodies are soooo expensive.

With those lovely clothes in mind I stopped dead in my tracks when I found some tattoo inspired iron on patches not too long ago. I attached them to a cardigan that has been in my wardrobe for a long long time and made something that would probably cost me $100 for less than $15.

I love the results!

Shiver Shiver Sniff Sniff

The Tanzer household has been rather sad and sniffly this past week. We've been sharing our sicknesses with each other. This means that my outfits have consisted of pjamas and slippers I'm afraid, hence the lack of updates.

I have had time to browse all of my favorite clothing websites being cooped up in this place, so here is my "Holy guacamole Batman, I hope this is really cheap in the sales after Christmas so I can buy it and love it" list.

First ASOS Curve

 

I love the sleeve length and sweet collar on this skater dress. It has a little keyhole in the back too. Details like this make a dress feel special.

This bunny print shirt is adorable. I would wear this at an art show opening.

 

This shirt is so luxe looking. I know I'd wear it forever.

 

This just makes me happy.

This outfit needs to get on me NOW!

Maybe it's the 90's kid in me. I think she looks like a grown up Clarissa :)

 

I never thought a coat could be sexy, but this is. *sigh*

 

When I first saw this dress I gasped....then I gasped at the price tag :(
Please be under $75 soon! I can't justify $147.76...or can I?It's just so pretty.

Ok, next up 

Forever 21+

 

This dress could work anywhere. I'm digging the watermelon color too.

I wear the heck out of my black and white tank, so one in my favorite color seems like a good idea.

 

This sweater would make anyone smile 

 

This jacket is similar to an ASOS Curve jacket I still mourn the loss of.

I love basics with a twist.

There's only 1 thing I want from Old Navy





I am feeling all these hearts everywhere.

Simply Be 
has some pieces that I like a lot


That's a shoe print dress! 






This shirt glows. 

 
This looks oh so cozy. I want to wear it with red jeans!
I also pretty much want all of the Frock and Frills line as it's so romantic.

So, that's it for now. 
I'll be back with an outfit soon I swear.
UNless I can get away with wearing pjs to work tomorrow....  

Circus Pants

See that smile on my face? That's because I am wearing super comfy pants. 

In a world of skinny jeans and cigarette pants Simply Be has provided me with a pair of pants that won't make me feel like my thighs are in a straight jacket, squeeze my hips into busted can of biscuit territory (worse that a muffin top) or make me have to lie down to zip them up.

Although my trousers may have been worn by a circus clown before me, I couldn't care less. 

I love them!

The PERFECT sweater

 

Even though Anthropologie technically only goes up to a size 16 in some clothes I still try things on that look like they might fit.

Every now and again they do ( approximately 1 in 20 times would be my guess).

I am so glad I tried this sweater on.

 It is thin enough to not add a whole lot of extra weight to my frame, but snuggly enough to  keep me warm. 

I adore the little button on the neckline that attaches the drape; It's such a cool design element.

I honestly think it's the PERFECT sweater.

 I scored this maxi dress in a 70% off Target sale figuring I'd keep it and wear it next spring....I couldn't wait, so I paired it with my favorite cardigan and my trusty boots.

If Atlanta clings to summer weather, then I can cling to my summer wardrobe.

Look how beautiful my city is.

Paprika!

 Today I took my Teddy bear to the coffee shop for him to meet a new friend.

How freaking cute is my baby boy? 

 

I had plans to take photos outside with the autumn leaves, but it started to rain as soon as I grabbed my camera.

Such a gorgeous color!

My wonderful friend Kat made me this beautiful and intricate scarf. It took her months and months. 

I love it so.

Lovely

I love when my favorite words are stitched on to sweaters.

 Thank you Forever 21+; you have made me very happy.

RED

I didn't buy the new Taylor Swift album, but I do think she is adorable, and I love her style at the moment.

I do get "We are never ever ever ever ever getting back together" stuck in my head a lot.

Anyways, here's my red shirt from yesterday....I think I might download that song now.....

Tomato red and mint green is an underrated color combo, and I LOVE it!

Calling Calvin

Sometimes you buy a shirt or a pair of pants, or a pair of shoes that you love so much you curse yourself for not buying multiples. This shirt is one of those items. 

It's the most forgiving fabric, it is cozy and a lovely color, but it has a hole in it, multiple coffee stain remnants and I should really think about getting rid of it, but I just can't. It's just the most perfect casual Fall top. Oh Calvin, how do I find another?

What do you wish you had have gotten more than one of?

Spot the comeback

On Friday I made my debut back at work since having baby Ted.

As an owner of a coffee shop/art gallery I can pretty much wear whatever I fancy as long as I don't care if it gets coffee stains on it.

 It was hard to be away from my baby (I thought about him constantly), but it was nice to see everyone and drink awesome coffee!

I got a little bit of work done too.

This is what I wore

I REALLY like polka dots.

Listen to the Darkside

Last night me and my buddy Logan went to see Charlie Mars.

I was a little bummed because we were told he was going on at 8pm, and didn't go on until 10.30pm. I ended up leaving at 11.15pm because I was worried that I'd get in an accident if I let my already sleep deprived self drive home.

Those 45 minutes were stellar though.

After seeing him play by himself 3 times, it was a treat to see him with a band behind him.

 I'm sad I missed my favorite songs, but Charlie actually told me to go.

 I thought "Should I stay for one more song?" and he started playing 'No Place Like Home", hard to argue with that.
