As you’ve probably guessed from my blog, I’m not usually a t-shirt wearer. I’m more of a dresses kind of gal, or skirts and tank tops. But when I saw this Hope & Harvest Anchor Tee I knew that I wanted it. I was thinking it would be perfect to wear with jeans, but it has been WAY too hot to wear with jeans (seriously, this weather has been stunning!) so I had to think of another way to style it until the weather cools down.

I decided that it was time to treat myself to a new pair of walking shoes. The last pair of exercise shoes I bought were great (and I paid less than $10 for them), but they didn’t give me the support I needed so they have been relegated to my gardening shoes. I asked around and had Nike shoes recommended to me by a few friends, so yesterday I popped into Nike Platinum St Lukes.
Almost every other time I’ve walked into a sportswear store I’ve either been ignored or treated very rudely. I’m not take seriously because I’m fat (actual comment overheard, “Who is she kidding? Must be lost”) or because I’m female (just the other day I walked into an outdoors store to buy a new backpack. The two salespeople avoided eye contact and ignored me, instead going straight to assist my partner … who was not there to buy anything. Needless to say they didn’t get my money!). I’m sure you won’t be surprised when I tell you that I was a little bit nervous when I headed into the Nike store! View Post
I believe in dressing fearlessly. Wearing what you want because it makes you feel great, and not avoiding certain things because society tells us that we shouldn’t wear them. Crop tops, printed pants, bikinis, double denim, stripes, bodycon, shorts… I wear all of these things. And when I began my Fat Girls Shouldn’t Wear Stripes project in 2013, I had no idea how many women were like me – dressing fearlessly regardless of their size, shape and age. So many of you want to share your style with the world, and I think that is awesome! It’s something worth celebrating. View Post
As the spring blossoms fall and are thrown about in the wind, the sunshine comes out to welcome in summer and a brand new year. This calls for light summer dresses, jandals and many trips to the beach. View Post
Welcome to the last day of 2014. What does a fabulous fat babe such as myself wear on New Year’s Eve? Nothing so glam as you might expect.
I’ll be seeing the new year in quietly, catching a movie with my boys, enjoying a fun meal together and quite probably getting an early night. No wild parties, no big plans, just spending quality time with the people who matter the most. View Post
