Fancy with my bestie

I kinda have picky tastes when it comes to clothing and I find that most pieces I crave...are in skinny sizes. :(
So a few months ago when I saw that Lane Bryant had a Perfect Gentleman tee, I booked it over there in desperate hopes that I would, too, be fancy. And now I am.

So one of my fears that I want to get over is being in front of the camera and I have a bestie, Joey @ Pretty, Nerdy Girl, who finally caved to taking photos of me, after months of me badgering her. I feel our day went well, which included food, a walk and many hours together. Times were good. And now on to my favorite tee!!!!

Feature: An adorable mashup!!

October last year (2013), I had a date planned with a man I met online. We lived 4hrs away from each other, but agreed to meet in the middle, which was Monterey Bay, CA. I was SUPER excited....the date was horrible. A total disappointment, I was determined to find something adorable before leaving Monterey: enter Target. I shopped at Target for a bit and found this skirt, which I haven't really worn often.

Sooo I have this nifty friend, Pretty Nerdy Girl, who agreed to take some photos of me for my blog and one of my fears.

Still reeling....

...off of how many posts I made last week!!! Yeah I know it wasn't a lot, but I was super pumped up for the previous post that I sat back and watched what people said. I was surprised by just how positive people (aka friends) were. Some people said they were proud, one said I was inspiring and another said she felt the exact same way; I honestly didn't expect any of that, but it was surprising and nice.

To make a quick post, I posted this photo on Instagram this past week:

And I tagged Lane Bryant...and again they hearted my picture!!! (Yeah I know it's not called "hearted" but it's kinda what it is.....) I seriously get so excited when certain people like my photos. Anyway, this is a long sleeve, medium length sweater dress from LB and, while a tiny bit big for me, I love it and I kinda want to wear it once a week. I wore it with black leggings and medium blue shoes from Payless. Also, these *awesome* (<--SARCASM) photos happened. I'm still so entertained that Google puts these together.

Lane Bryant FTW!!

So yesterday I mentioned that I bought an LB dress that I LOVE (and for cheap 'cause I had Real Woman Dollars) and after wearing it for a day....I love it more! Though I could have gotten a size smaller and my nails kept getting caught in the lace. But not bad for a dress that was originally $80 that I got for $45!!! Exciting.

So....Lane Bryant Lace Skater Dress!!!!!

Long time no post!!

Holy crap, I have been tired, busy and freakin so burnt out that posting was on my list....but not high enough to find the energy for.

In any case, I'm back and I got some crap to post about. I won't be saying anything about my vacation for a couple posts as I have a bit of things to sort through in my head. But hey, I bought some stuff from Lane Bryant (who liked my photos on Instagram *SQUEEEE!!!*) and I'm gonna show those bad boys off to you right now!

Quick post!!

Holy moley, I have had so much damn homework, it has gone beyond the idea of funny.

But the good news is, I took the plunge, put my big girl panties on (do I own any other size?) and decided to buy something I would never even think of wearing WITHOUT trying them on......

So Hawt

 And then this happened.
