♥ Cute Things @ Mod Cloth! ♥

Hello! I'm sorry I haven't been posting very much lately, I've been busy with trying to figure out my school situation but I'm getting back on track with that again so I will be posting more on here again. :) ♥  But today I'm just going to be posting a few things Mod Cloth is selling right now that caught my eye!

♥ Perfect Plus One Bag from ModCloth ♥

I've wanted this purse for so long and now I finally have it! It was an early Christmas present from my mom and I am so grateful that she bought it for me. The purse is a cute baby pink color with cream colored lace on the front flap. It has a heart shaped lock on the front that keeps it closed and on the top there's a handle and also two rings that you can attach a long strap onto! 

I love this purse so much and it's perfect for everyday use! It's not heavy and it's small on the inside but big enough to hold my phone, wallet, my glucose monitor, and a few other things too. ♥

♥ Cute Finds: Fuzzy Pink Sweater ♥

I've been looking for a fuzzy pink sweater ever since Lana Del Rey's H&M campaign last year!

Well, last night I went to Walmart to find new PJ's. I decided to look at their everyday clothing and then I saw this sweater and I instantly fell in love. ♥ It's a lot more fuzzy and a lot less money than the H&M one. It's also not made of animal fur. (which makes it 10000x better!!) It was $12 and it comes in grey, white, black, pastel blue and baby pink! I bought the pink one because I love pink but I want the blue one too.

The color doesn't show up very good on camera but it's a lot pink-er in person! :)

♥ Polka Dots & Peplums ♥

I love polka dots and clothing with peplum's on them so this dress is perfect for me. 

I got it in a 3x because I thought it wouldn't stretch but it is very stretchy and it's a little big in some spots!

It's from Forever 21+ and you can find it here. ♥

♥ Friday Favorites - ModCloth & Summer Twins ♥

These two dresses are on sale right now at ModCloth!

The Lovely Letters Dress and Love Ya Dots Dress

On the Way Home Coat from Modcloth

This cat planner for 2014 is so adorable and it's also on sale from ModCloth!

The perfect plus one bag from ModCloth

I've been listening to Summer Twins all week so they deserve a spot on this post. 

Got Somebody To Dream About and Teardrops On My Pillow are my favorite songs by them. ♥

♥ Retro and Vintage Clothing in Plus Sizes ♥

♥ High Waisted Pants or Capri's ♥

The two pants below on the right are from Torrid and they are the 'Pixie Pants'. I have the dark wash pair on the top and I absolutely love them! The jeans on the right are from Modcloth and you can find them here. Torrid also has a pair of red high waisted capri's for sale here.♥ Pinup Girl Clothing has high waisted capri's but they only go up to a 2x, which really sucks.

♥ Circle Skirts ♥

Circle skirts are another lovely thing to have in your wardrobe! I would recommend buying solid colored skirts first, especially if you are on a budget. That way you can mix and match them with different tops. The shop Betty Le Bonbon makes skirts up to a 48 inch waist. Their online store is here and their Facebook page is here. :)

♥ Cute Cardigans and Sweaters ♥

You can find cardigans and sweaters pretty much anywhere but my favorite places to look is on Etsy. If you're like me and you normally wear a size 20 you could most likely fit into a large or extra large cardigan depending on how stretchy they are and whether or not you like buttoning the cardigan all the way up.
For sweaters I usually try to look for pullovers because I don't really like big/baggy sweaters. Bettie Page Clothing has a few pullover sweaters for sale. They go up to a juniors 4x, size 18, I believe.
You've probably seen this cardigan before because I wear it all the time and have a bunch of pictures of me in it on twitter/instagram! It's vintage and I think it's an extra large and I'm able to wear it with all of the buttons buttoned. (Again, I'm a size 20/2x)

♥ Dresses ♥

Retro dresses are super duper cute but they're also really expensive! I only have 2 that I've bought in the last 2 years. My favorite places that sell plus size vintage inspired dresses are ModCloth and Pinup Girl Clothing!
My favorite dresses from Pinup Girl Clothing are the vamp dress, christina dress, and the sailor swing dress.

♥ Review: Leg Avenue - "Plus Size" Cuban Heel Stockings ♥

I've been wanting a pair of Cuban heel stockings for months now. When I saw that Leg Avenue had a pair of them available for plus sizes I got really, really, excited! I received them in the mail this afternoon as I was leaving my house and was so excited the entire time I was out to go home and try them on. When I got home I slid them on and they fit everywhere but the top of my thighs. I put my garter belt on and it kinda helped them stay up but the sides were still falling down! You can kinda see that in the second picture. 

 I'm bummed that I won't be able to wear them at the moment but I'm going to keep them and see if they fit in a few months, after I've been running more!

I am between a size 18 and a size 20 right now and I think the only sizes these would really fit would be anywhere between an 18 and a 14. The material is thinner than most of my other stockings and I had to try extra hard not to make a run in them while putting them on. 

Rate: 3/5 

I gave them a 3 instead of a 2 because even though the material is crappy they are still really cute stockings and I haven't been able to find any other Cuban heel stockings!

Dealing with body shamers..

Someone on tumblr messaged me the other day asking me why I dress so fancy and they basically said I shouldn't do that because I am fat. Then they also asked me if I dress up to be accepted by other people and then told me that it would never work because I am fat. 

(I found this picture floating around on tumblr, it's not mine!)

I don't care if they were trying to be mean or if they were just genuinely curious. I don't dress up for anyone but myself. I like dressing girly and I apparently love making people uncomfortable by me, a fat girl, dressing in cute pastel colors and polka dots.

If anyone ever gives you shit for wanting to dress a certain way tell them to mind their own business! 

It really doesn't concern them and they need to sort out their priorities if they're seriously getting their panties in a bunch over what a fat person wears! If you want to wear baggy t-shirts and jeans then do it. If you want to wear a pencil skirt and a peplum top with a huge bow on the back, do it! If you want to wear a banana costume then you go do that! Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't wear certain things because you are bigger than them. It's your life not theirs and you have every right to do what you want with your life as long as you're not hurting yourself or other people!

Plus Size: Fall Essentials ♥

Plus Size: Fall Essentials

Shopping for fashionable clothes when you're fat is really hard and frustrating so I am making this post to try to make it a little bit easier! I 

Leggings! 

These are from Forever 21! Forever 21's leggings are really, really, cute but the material sucks. :/ Another store that sells plus size leggings is Chubby Cartwheels! I want to buy a pair of their velvet leggings so badly. Chubby Cartwheels goes up to a size 32! 

 I love wearing leggings because they're so comfy and I usually hate wearing pants, but leggings are amazing and anyone that gives you crap for wearing them can suck it! 

Sweaters & Cardigans!

These cardigans are from Dorothy Perkins. I usually get my sweaters and cardigans from thrift stores though! I look in the mens section for sweaters because I like old man sweaters. SimplyBe sells some cute sweaters and cardigans too, and they go up to a size 30! 

A light jacket!

I recently bought the jacket on the left from Forever 21! It's really comfortable and it's great for cold weather. I'm not so sure how it'd do in the rain though. And the jacket on the right is from Asos Curve!

A good pair of boots! 

I like wearing boots in the fall because the weather is unpredictable and I never know when it's going to rain, and I absolutely hate getting my feet wet!! I plan on buying a pair of Dr.Martens this year. You can find them pretty much anywhere online but here is the link to their website. ♥

Cute socks and thigh highs!

I love wearing cute socks!! I get mine from all over the place but these three are from topshop. You can make those frilly lace socks with your own socks and lace too if you don't want to buy them! I might make a tutorial for that but it's really easy. For thigh highs, I get mine from sock dreams. The ones I buy specifically are the extraordinarily longer thigh highs which are right here. :)
