Melificent

What I Wore: Jolly Green Melificent?

Still attempting the “trying to love shorts” project. And I have to admit, I’m kind of losing this battle. I just do not find them very flattering, although I did think this outfit was very cute, festive and summer-y. I’m not going to toss all my shorts in a bonfire anytime soon, but I believe I’ll stick to skirts, dresses, pants and jeans for now. You know who is the real star of this post? MY HOUSE. Isn’t it just the cutest??? Sorry, I have homeowners tourettes. I also loved that I am now able to twirl my hair and apply some hairspray and voila! Instant beach hair! It’s very hard to even consider getting a haircut on days like this!

Additionally I want to thank a lot of you for giving me recommendations last week on places to find great shorts for my body type. As I’m sure you can all tell, I am very petite on top, while my hips don’t lie (thank you Cuban roots), so I appreciate a good curvy fit. I will definitely be checking out Ann Taylor Loft as suggested, and so should all you other ladies with a similar shape!

What I Wore: Mellow Yellow

Although I live in one of the most humid and sticky places in the US, I have a hard time rocking shorts. I’m just not a huge fan, but find them a necessity to my wardrobe due to our weather. To make them a little more desirable, I decided to stock up on fun summer colors. I was lucky to find a killer sale at the Gap outlet a couple of weeks ago on just that, and these were one of my take aways! Aren’t they a fun and sunshine-y shade of yellow?

Do You Want My Clothes?

My closet desperately needed a Spring, Winter, Fall, and Summer cleaning so I went ahead and did so yesterday. While I was making my pile, I realized a lot of the victims had never even been worn once! I didn’t think it was right to just toss them aside without offering them a new home first where they could at least see the light of day. So I decided to offer them to all of you, lovely readers! If no one is interested, then up on Ebay they will go, but you all get first dibs!

If you want to snag a piece, leave me a comment saying so and it will be yours. First come, first serve! Just as an aside, these all come from a smoke-free home and at max, have been worn once.

Happy shopping!

This Marc Jacobs dress is actually a size 2, totally my error. 🙂

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 2

January 2, 2011

Tank; Old Navy
Jeans; Gap Curvy
Watch; Crow
Guitar Pick earrings; gifted
Flippy floppies; Old Navy

Having a productive Sunday after a pretty lazy first day of the year. We had to take my car in for service after it pooped out New Year’s Eve, started cleaning out our closets and finally got around to unpacking those final boxes (7 months after our official move). I have a very long list of to do’s for the house this year and am determined to get them all done by the end of 2011! For these reasons, I had to dress as comfy as I could. I can’t recommend Gap’s Curvy line any more for fellow large hipped ladies. They are wonderful! I always have a very hard time finding a pair of jeans to fit my body type since I have a very narrow waist, but wide hips and thick legs. These jeans always fit me like a dream come true. Plus, they are usually on sale – bonus!

ps; isn’t my house cute? I’m still so in love with it.
