I'm a Betty Draper

This past Sunday I went to the Mad Men premier at the Angelika Theater.  Angelika always does fun things like this and best of all they generally are FREE!  They also had tasty Mad Men themed cocktails.  I did dress with the theme and brought out this oldie, but goodie.  This shirt dress is from the Isaac Mizrahi for Target Collection.  I've had this dress longer than I've been with my husband.  I think it's about 6-7 years old.   I think I paid all of $20 for it.  I have said it once and I'll say it again, Isaac Mizrahi did the BEST collection for Target ever in the history!  I wish he would come back.  

Anyways, I am a huge fan of the show.  I actually watched five seasons on Netflix for you streamers. I can't wait to see what happens in the season.

Where's Waldo?

This might be my dry sense of humor, but this is so funny to me.  I have learned to laugh a lot at my own jokes a lot over the years, just so I make sure that I don't take myself too seriously.  Getting dressed I thought, "I look like Where's Waldo, but I like it."   


I bought this top and it's actually supposed to be a dress, so it hugs the body.  Now that I am looking at the pictures, this top is so fitted that it's picking up the bulk of the belt around my waist. The belt is for functional purposes, to keep my pants for slipping down.  I guess I'm feeling like this didn't translate well in pictures.  I wore it, loved it, got compliments all day, but then I look at it in the picture and I'm like, "ugh! midsection mistake." I guess that's why Cher Horowitz says she does not trust mirrors.

Celebrity Style Capture: Nikki Minaj

I saw Nikki Minaj in this particular outfit and said to myself, "Did she steal one of my high waist skirts?" LOL!  Knowing that I was getting an orange high waist skirt I went and snagged this cropped sweater top from Forever 21 for the cool 16 bucks.  Since the Dolce & Gabbana Spring release of it's bra tops I have been obsessed (literally) with crop & bra tops. With loving them also rushes in the fear of, "Can I really pull this off?" I think of all the strikes against me for such a look.  Strike 1:  I'm plus size ~ Never stopped me before.  Strike 2:  Im over 30 ~ has stopped me before Strike 3:  Can I even find one that fits? 

My issues with cropped tops not only encompass the strikes above, but also having me battling with my own "lady like" style.  How does one wear a shirt that is only half there and wear it in the most tasteful, stylish, and lady like fashion?  Then I come across this article in my latest installment of Elle Magazine.  Crop Rotation, by Amanda FitzSimons, divulges the author's fear, allure , and her triumph in sporting the look.  This was only further confirmation for me.    

For me trying to accomplish this look anything high waist goes.  I don't want to show a whole bunch of skin, just a little bit.  I want the look to be as flattering as possible and don't want to hang out ANYWHERE.  All of these things I want to happen and the laws of fashion, style, & flattery are against me.  In my mind, they are always against me, so why not prove them wrong...again.

Nautical L♥ve

I love nautical looks almost as much as I love leopard.  The crispness of the colors blue, red, green, and sometimes yellow together just make me feel all warm inside.  If I had it my way I would live in these two looks.  Something about looking like a walking boat everyday prevents me from doing such a thing.  The weather in Dallas is perfect for an outfit like this. I actually wore this today to do some errands and I felt so "easy breezy."  

Just a note:  If you are thinking of purchasing this skirt, I'll let you in on the sizing.  My waist is now 39 inches  and it's a tight fit.  I ordered the XL.
Outfit Logistics: Top - H&M $24, Skirt - Shabby Apple $72, Shoes - $13 Ebay, Bag - Ted Baker $238, Watch - Michael Kors $250, Scarf - Ann Taylor  $20 (similar), Sunglasses - Chanel $230 via Neimans, Belt - Target $13

White Hot!

Nothing says spring more than white.   I hear a lot of women steer clear of white for the fear of looking larger. I find that to be a bogus reason to avoid a color.  My philosophy is that I will look my size no matter what color I wear.  Anyways, would you believe I  have had these pant for 4 years. I bought them, but couldn't fit them.  I dropped a few pounds and wah lah!

I came across this Shop Ruche, which I thought you would be interested in.  It's an all inclusive boutique that carries plus size.  Whoever the buyer is does a great job with the selections and tres' economical price points.  
Random thought:  Anytime I see someone in something white and chic I think of this line from Pretty in Pink.

Blaine: can you tell me what you think of this?

Andy: Lawerance Welk
Quote: Oh it's hot... white hot!! 

I love this line even though I'm still not exactly sure what she meant by white hot -- I just assumed if something was white and it was hot..it was white hot...LOL.
