Color Lines

July 21, 2019Fashion

It’s no secret that I love color. Especially in the Summer months, my longing for beautiful shades grows even stronger. It helps that stores are just marked with all of these vibrant garments for me to choose from. I found this striped pleated skirt while browsing at Macy’s. I think that out of all of the places to shop at in-store, Macy’s is one of my favorites. Although department stores in general have a long way to go, Macy’s has a good variety and typically has a decent plus size section. And even though this skirt is not plus size, it goes to show that even some of their straight size brands are “plus-friendly”, going up to an XL and a 2x.

So, I loved the rainbow colored pleats of this skirt. These types of garments typically have no stretch, but the elastic waistband really makes it fit well and very comfortable to wear. I paired it with a crop top,which I love to do with these types of skirts. I was always taught that an outfit should have balance. That means if the top part of your outfit is on the tighter side, the bottom should be of a looser fit (and vice versa). So, when I wear a skirt what is very full and loose, I feel like I have room to play with crop tops and the like.

Since I’m still rocking my faux goddess locs, I’m taking full advantage of all of the different styles that I can create. This has become one of my go-to ways of styling. It’s pretty much a huge, pineapple-like bun with a statement scarf wrapped around it. Although the yellow in the skirt is subtle, I wanted to bring it out seeing as though yellow is one of my favorite colors to wear. Finishing the look off with my favorite pair of beige sandals, this look was complete!

    Can I just say that you have rescued me from a life of “what the heck looks right on me!” I’ve detested shopping since gaining weight. I’ve also detested trying to lose it just to rekindle a love for shopping, it’s a whole ugly thing trust me. Literally, until today, I have been incarcerated of sorts in a frumpy, forget me, I’ll just focus on my family prison. I felt like it would be easier to celebrate my “snatched” daughters than try to find clothes for myself. I’ve seen beautiful big girls, but I didn’t know where they shopped or if it would work for me..until I found your blog! I’d be in tears if I could risk getting my chips wet, they’re complementing my sandwich, so no chance! But you definitely deserve it. But in all seriousness, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I have taken notes, screenshots, viewed the sites and read about shapewear. I will try some of the looks and let you know how freedom feels! Sincerely, former, frumpy, forget about me prisoner 101.

    I think this look is especially spectacular on you! Everything works together so beautifully to highlight your bright smile, your clear skin, and the goddess locs. 🙂 And it goes to show how much more there can be to a summery look than pastels.

When you look in the mirror, do you like what you When you look in the mirror, do you like what you see? #ad Too many times, we are consumed with all of our perceived “flaws” while looking in the mirror, that we fail to see the true essence of who we are. I’ve teamed up with @maurices to challenge you to be a little kinder. Their “Kind Is the New Cool” tee is a little reminder to do so. Self-care, self-love & self-assurance is the only way!
