A Cheap and Easy Way to Color Clothes

Onesies make for some of the best baby clothes. They are super comfy, easy to put on baby, easy to wash, and make diaper changing super easy! The short-sleeve onesies are awesome in warmer weather and long-sleeve onesies are perfect for cooler weather.

You can take a simple, plain white onesie and use some Rit dye to create fun-colored onesies that will match any outfit. This is easy to use and I love the bright and vibrant colored fabrics it creates! Not only can you dye baby onesies, but you can transform plain white t-shirts into something fresh and fun! I love this, and the possibilities are endless.

Fun Ways to Wear Your Scarf

Scarves are one of my favorite accessories. I love how they can change an outfit and add so much "pop" to an ordinary outfit. I love that I can load up on the inexpensive, plain, colored shirts and make the same shirt look completely different with a scarf.

Scarves are also easy to use for seasonal dressing. In the summer, I wear lightweight scarves that have colors that are bright and fun, such as green, yellow, pink, purple, etc. In the fall, I wear rust tone, deep reds, dark golden yellows, burnt orange, etc. In the winter, the scarves get a little bit heavier and I lean more towards creams, blacks, and deep grays. It's amazing on how diverse scarves can get!

I was looking around on Pinterest today and found this amazing picture that shows some of the many different ways to wear a scarf. Try some of these out next time you want to sport a scarf, or come up with some of your own and share them on here! I can't wait to see!

Black is the New...Black

I know you have all heard phrases before that sound something like this.."Pink is the new black", "grey is the new black", or "green is the new black". It comes and goes every season with a different color being the "new black". It's phrased like this because black is a color that never goes out of style. It's been around for decades and will continue to be around for decades. This Fall, black is becoming even more trendy than it already is and is being seen more and more on both the streets and the runways.

Black was sometimes associated as a "gothic" color. It's sometimes associated as a depressing color--something this is worn to funerals. Well let me tell you! Black is HOT! It is a go-to color that always looks great. One of the things I love about black is that it is slimming. It hides some of my unwanted curves and lines. It is so sleek looking that it is my favorite color to wear! If you're not ready to go all-black like the above picture, add bits of pieces at a time. You'll look great and get a ton of compliments! 

Pretty Preppy Fall Outfit

I am LOVING the change of weather and seasons that is going on. Fall is my all-time favorite season of the year and there is NOTHING about Fall that I don't like! I love the change in clothing, activities, and colors. With Fall comes putting away flip flops and shorts and taking out leggings, boots, and sweaters. It's also time to bring out the crock pot and put away the grill in the garage until Spring. 

I feel like Western boots are making a huge mark in the fashion happenings of Fall 2012. I have a couple of pairs of Western boots and I love them! I was thinking the other day...what if you aren't into that look? So many fashion websites and magazines are showing the Western look. What if that's not your style? I found this pretty preppy Fall look and thought I would share! Pair a blazer with a warm scarf. To keep your hair out of the way, a high bun is easy to do in your hair and looks very chic. 

A Great Fall Headband

Fall is in full swing! I love changing up my wardrobe to accommodate the changing season. It feels so festive and great to change out my closet with change of weather.

I found this super cute headband that is crocheted material. It's adorable! The warmer fabric will look great as an accessory. It can be matched to a scarf much like this woman did. She pulls this look off flawlessly and that's something I would definitely consider doing!

Some of the Fall accessories and clothing that I add to my wardrobe for the new season includes: scarfs, boots, leggings, sweaters, thicker and warmer headbands, leg warmers, long sleeve shirts, sweatshirts, and more.

Spring Cleaning

Spring is here! Which means one of my favorite things--spring cleaning. I love going through my things really well at least once a year. It's a great way to start fresh and get rid of things that I don't want, need, or use anymore.

It's important to do this in your closet and dressers. I go through and, I kid you not, try on EVERY piece of clothing I own. If it's something I haven't worn for awhile or doesn't fit, I donate it to Goodwill. This is a great way to help people out in need of clothing.

I do this with my makeup, too. Mascara should be thrown if it's been opened for three months. I also get rid of old foundations or make-up that I don't wear anymore.

One fun thing about spring cleaning is the shopping that comes afterward! I always like to get one or two new outfits and some fresh fun make-up!

Casual Cute

Hello everybody! Sorry about the missed post yesterday, we had morning to evening activities here in Cozumel. We rented a jeep and took it around the island to explore a little bit. It was a lot of fun!

I'm obsessing over the "casual cute" look here when I'm out and about (I'm pretty much wearing things like this whenever I'm not in my swimsuit soaking up the rays!) A pair of skinny jeans rolled up into capris is an easy way to achieve the look the model has in the picture. A loose-fitting tank is perfect and airy (nothing too tight or constricting) for the hot sun. Heels, sunglasses and a purse finish off the look with a few accessories without being too overwhelming or overbearing.

I will definitely be carrying this look over into the Spring and Summer and experimenting with many different combinations of tanks, accessories and so much more!

You can be fat AND fashionable

I'm totally loving the fact that many "regular" stores are beginning to offer more fashionable lines of plus size clothing. Stores like K-Mart, Walmart and Target used to have very little in terms of fashionable plus size clothing. What they did have consisted of plain, oversized shirts, frumpy button up tops, and mom jeans. So, I got used to paying high prices for the clothing I want.

And while I still shop at Fashion Bug and Lane Bryant, I have also added Target, Old Navy and Avenue to my list. Target is carrying many more styles for plus size women now, and they even have a new line -- their "Young Contemporary" -- which is geared towards younger women and teenage girls. Old Navy sells a few plus size items in their stores, but if you go to their website you can shop sizes 16-30, and let me tell you, the clothes are AFFORDABLE, FASHIONABLE, and most importantly, TRUE TO SIZE (ladies, watch out for Target: their plus size clothes tend to run 1-2 sizes too small!).

So there you have it... for fashionable plus size, keep Fashion Bug and Lane Bryant at the top of your list, but Old Navy, Target and Avenue are also worth giving a whirl!
