Fashion & Style: Grunge, 70's Flare, & 90's Bling + GIVEAWAY!


I tend not to do fashion posts as often as I use to because I want it to feel organic, meaning I want to capture the moment that I'm already wearing a bomb ass outfit instead of putting together one just for the sake of blogging...and I finally had my moment.

Had a fun night out planned with Diamond for FGI Fashion After 5.  The thing is, a lot of the members in this group are much older than us, so something in me felt I had to bring the edgy factor when it came to my outfit.  Little did I know I would grow to love every element that made up this chic ensemble.

As a thick, curvaceous woman...trying to find wide legged jeans or pants is a nightmare, especially if you're short.  Your pants either look flooded, or you look like a rectangle, not flattering at all!  So when I found these pants on River Island...on sale at that, I had to snatch them up.  They fit so beautifully.  I actually overestimated and got them a little too big because you never know when ordering online (for any of my plus size divas, River Island is a great place to shop).

And probably the wow factor of my outfit, my Louisiana chain clutch from ALDO....yea, it's the truth.  With all of the cute little charms there honestly wasn't a need for me to wear any jewelry, the purse wore it for me!

THESE SHOES! Ok so someone, who might have been intoxicated, asked me if these were Gucci...baby I didn't know I looked like I had Gucci money!  To answer that...I don't, but it just goes to show that detailing can make any item look as expensive and high fashion as you want it to.  So how much did I really pay for these shoes? $25, and actually a little less with a coupon code I had.  Yes, $25 for these New Look Wide Fit Gem Block Heels from Asos.  I honestly almost shed a tear.  Because of my weight gain over the past few years, not only has it been hard to find heels that fit, but that are comfortable for me to walk in.  I was able to stay in these heels the entire night, no walking bare foot, leaning on people, or struggling to walk to the car, and for me that is a big accomplishment.

Now I said before my clutch had enough bling on for the both of us...but this choker is something I couldn't resist.  Along with this mesh tee from Boohoo...it yelled sexy grunge and I couldn't pass it up.  If you notice...I have big boobies (a blessing and a curse) and with the new trend of bralettes...big boobs don't mix with this trend.  I've tried others that were suppose to be L/XL/XXL and it looks like string hanging from my chest.  So when I found this bralette from Boohoo that not only covers all of my goods but also gave me decent support...I had to snatch it up!
