OOTD: Nautical Sunday

Hello my Fab Sista's

 

Last Sunday I came across Palesa's Outfit on Instagram and instantly fell inlove. I instantly challenged myself to replicate her look. I even left a comment on her IG that I'll give it a go.

 

On Monday when going to work the weather was cold and raining so I managed to replicate this outfit as I was eager to try it out but could only take pictures inside my office. At the end of the day, I was unsatisfied with the quality of my pictures and the dress I wore was a bit longer - my goal was really not achieved on this day.

 

I told myself I am not resting until I get this challenge right. Today, I think I got it right even though I am not wearing big blocked striped dress same as hers - for me: this is MISSION ACCOMPLISHED kinda moment :)

 

The message I am trying to relay on this post is that all of us need to be inspired by each other, NO MATTER THE SIZE. Plus Size ladies need to stop being negative and bitter when seeing a normally sized individual killing it on the streets instead lets be inspired to try things out and see how far we can go challenging ourselves to getting closer to the outfit of inspiration. 

 

The truth is that we can never look the same as the people who inspire us but can look better FOR US because the challenge is for us, by us and about us #nopressurePLEASE :) We are all beautiful!!! 

 

Palesa looks amazing on this nautically inspired outfit and OFCOZ, so is myself :) I feel satisfied with what I did for this challenge. I got inspired and I brought in my own flavour :)

 

What do you think???

FATNESS SWAG

Hey guys,

 

Hope you all enjoying your weekend. Just wanna share with you my todays outfit and live you with this message. Accepting and loving ones self is very much vital because it gives you satisfaction and peace of mind: ALWAYS!!! This applies to everyone: THICK or THIN. 

 

There's always rules, perceptions and attitudes towards what FAT PEOPLE must or must not wear and that upsets me because why cant we be given freedom of wearing what we feel like and just be accepted as we are instead of being trapped in a box. We are as smart and creative like everyone else breathing in this planet. Why are we treated as if we are just dumb souls who cant make sensible decisions concerning our wardrobes? Who doesn't know that they should look a certain way when in different situations??? Whats more upsetting is the fact that we have limited options and yet have to be told what to do as if things that are being suggested are always within reach. I struggle finding clothes and getting someone telling me what not to wear is just devastating.

 

As a result of all this: We FAT people are expected to look a certain way and if we are non compliant to this then we are regarded TRASHY. Well, you can call me trashy as much as you want - if I feel good and see myself looking great when looking at my mirror - the rest is history. Ofcoz, I would never get out of my house not ensuring I look decent. When people see me around the streets they give me some stares *which I love* :) because many fat people are less confident to spice up their looks to their satisfaction and this is due to media and society that have prisoned them in a boring box. ME on the other side I REFUSE to fall into that trap because I love dressing up. I look around the world of fashion and get inspired to wear what I feel like because is not a crime to do so.

 

I hope this post inspires many FAT WOMEN out there to break the chain of imprisonment and liberate themselves into a great world of style and fashion without doubts and regrets for exploring looks that they have been aspiring to wear.  

 

This is me TODAY and I am LOVING MY OUTFIT :)

 

I haven't worn pants for more than 8 years now because I hated how I looked because I am fat - right now, I am all grown up and understand even though I am fat and struggling to lose this weight I am allowed to wear what I like when I need to: REGARDLESS of my weight. Whilst figuring my way on how to lose this weight, I must not punish myself and not live and lead a positive life I need for myself because not everything is about how much I weigh. So, I am embracing me as I am and people like GarnerStyle, KellieB, the_ms_supa_thickk and others are great examples for many women in my position to do themselves at all times.

 

What are you scared of wearing in public??? When do you think you'll free yourself? Think about that :)

Bridal Shower Outfit

Hey, guys!!!

 

Two weeks ago I attended a bridal shower of my very close friend Pamela Sontsaka and I had a blast :) 

 

I have many pictures so I am deciding to show you what I wore first and then write another post for the actual bridal shower event. The theme was WHITE for all of us attendees (her friends from all over) and the bride wore a coral dress. I guess, we were given an opportunity to shine in our white outfits so that on the day of the wedding she can be the only BRIDE, lol.

 

I don't usually buy white items as a result I was cought up in my own web undecided on what to wear. I tried hitting the stores to check for white items I could wear on this day and you know what happens when you look for things last minute: you have slim chances to get what you are looking for. So, I was unfortunate :( 

 

I decided to dig my closet for all white items I own - out of that there were 4 white dresses with different make. I chose the one I am wearing because I wanted to be comfortable and true to myself cause bridal showers are fun and mainly full of games. Heels were never gonna cut it for me, not on this day #justification, lol :)I went, the casual route ... and I was gorgeous, yes: you heard me - gorgeous hahahahaha :)

 

So, here is the outfit :)

Dress: Pick 'n Pay

Crochet Top: Thrifted

Belt: Woolworths

Necklace: Fashion World

All Star Sneaks: Asos

Watch: Guess

Vintage Bag: Bid or Buy

Bracelets: Truworths, Lovisa & MrPrice  

Hope you enjoyed my "Bridal Shower Outfit" and loved it as much as I do :)

 

Thank you for visiting and taking time reading this post, I really appreciate!!!

 

Cheers, guys

Curves Around the World: Week 13 - Rock Chic

Hello, Hello.... Ladies!!!

 

Its that time of the week for the Curves Around the World themed outfit posts. Yes, this weeks theme is Rock Chic!!! I am sure when you hear Rock Chic - what comes to mind immediately is Leather, Chains, spikes, dark eyed makeup, Dr Martens, studs etc!!! All the things I mentioned toughen up the outfit and gives it that edge that makes Rock Chic, ROCKS :)

 

I have a couple of Leather pieces, Doctors Martens and surely can darken my eye makeup, lol but that's kinda expected right? What triggered my thinking to be on that wave length is coming across Rihanna on some blog I visited where they focussed more on her converse hi top sneakers and when looking at her all I could see was a simple take on Rock Chic trend. With just those two pieces of clothing (dress and sneakers) and her red lip - she was effortlessly on point with this ROCK CHIC trend.

 

This picture kinda gave me an idea of items I should use to create this look. At first I wanted to recreate this entire look as I have similar items but opted to use a black dress instead of Rihanna's white one because my focal item was my recently bought Marimekko Converse Sneaks which make a better contrast with this black dress compared to a white one. A maxi dress was my order of the day: so, wearing only this maxi dress with hi tops would have not given me the effect I was looking for - adding up my gold studded denim vest made sense on many levels to take me Rock Chic land, if you know what I mean :)

 

I sprinkled some gold accessories (watch and bangles),  added red lip and my big Green Statement Earings to perfect this outfit. You all can agree with me that "A lady is incomplete without a handbag"! Right?? Yeah ... Right!!! So my Lehza Vintage brown sling bag came to play to complete this outfit. I know what you all thinking - that I have been carrying this bag quite a lot on my recent posts but what can I do when this bag just blends perfectly with my everyday outfits??? LOL ... I really am happy to have bought this bag its really perfect for my day to day activities at work and other wise. It looks small but it definitely does carry my notebook and my ipad with my wallet, car keys and makeup just perfectly. I hope my justification carries a lot of weight and you are finally forgiving me for this offence :)

 

So, dig in, indulge and definitely give feedback on your thoughts about my Rock Chic look. I look cute and  sassy - I really did enjoy taking these pictures, I know you will enjoy looking at them too and also agree that my version still qualifies my look to be called ROCK CHIC... ROCK ON LADIES :)

Rihanna rocking ROCK CHIC trend!!!

Red Lip: Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain #30 - Smitten

 



Dress: Pep Stores: Denim Vest: Woolworths, Marimekko Converse Sneakers: Style36, Ring & Earings: Mr Price, Bangles: Lovisa, Mr Price and Truworths, Bag: Lehza Vintage, Tom Ford Sunglasses: Sunglass Hut, Watch: Guess 

 

These come with another pair of purple laces to change and match the inside liner should I decide to fold out the top!!! I LOVE THEM so much ...
