Maxing it out for a dog party!

Hello Lovelies!

So today I'm showing you an outfit I wore this past weekend to a Beatles/hippie themed party that I went to. It was actually a dog party that I brought my dog to but of coarse I had to get dressed for it as well. Check out the rest of the post to see pictures from the party and more of my outfit!

Curves Around the World: Maxi

Hello Lovelies! I am so sorry for being a little MIA this past month but I'm back and feel much better. I still have somewhat of a cold but that's better then what I was feeling last week, which is great. Thanks for everyone that said to get better! I know I have a lot of blogs to catch up on, I will be doing that throughout this week! 

But yeah it is that time again for another "Curves Around the World" theme and I can't believe this is already the 20th theme with this group. I am so glad to be part of this group. I think I will be doing a round up of the past challenges soon. But yeah this week's theme is Maxi and this is something I would not have tried because I thought I was too short to pull it off. But because of this blog I decided to challenge myself and I tried a Maxi dress and a skirt. So since the two Maxi's that I own both were already worn on this blog, I decided to get another one. 

So I was able to find this at a small store near my house that I'm not sure what it's called but I just stopped by because it had a sign that said it carried plus sizes, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to go in and look. I was surprised they had a variety of different clothes and the prices were really good too. When I was looking through the different maxi skirts I decided to get this one because it's black and white, which I love and it has stripes which is something that I've grown to love as well.  What do you think of the skirt? 

So you probably can't tell that this skirt is actually suppose to be a mindi skirt and suppose to be around the calves when worn correctly. But since I'm a short, I pulled it down to my hips and it becomes a maxi for me, but if I pull it to my waist the length is around my ankle. So this skirt is one of those make it work things, plus it has pockets, I think that's why I chose this skirt. 

The weather has been cooler but still pretty warm, that's why I decided to wear a vest instead of a sweater but I did switch to a sweater later that night. I decided to accessories minimally with my scarf and a pop of animal print with my shoes because why not! :) How do you like to wear your Maxi's? Are maxi's your thing? I would love to know! :)

Curves Around the World: Statement Earrings

Hello Lovelies! It's been really been a long and hectic month for me so I'm really glad July is over. Hello August, I can't wait to see what you have for me this month! :)

Well it's that time of the week again for another "Curves Around the World" post and this weeks theme is "Statement Earrings!" If you've been a reader of my blog you know I don't wear different earrings much, I really like wearing hoops. I think I just got in the habit of wearing them all the time in college that it's carried on till now. I love earrings and I have a few to choose from, but I always go for my trusty hoops. So this challenge was really taking me out of my comfort zone.

When I think of "Statement Earrings" I always think of fancy earrings that you wear with a nice outfit. I have a lot of those earrings and I don't wear them much because I don't dress fancy very much. So I decided to go for something different a "Statement Earrings" with a very casual outfit.

So this actually happens to be my very first Maxi skirt, I've been loving the maxi dress that I have and I have been wearing it a lot this summer. So when I found this Maxi skirt I knew I wanted to get it and I've worn this skirt a few times already and it's so comfy. But the thing is it's really long on me. I know you can't tell from the picture that the skirt is really long, but I actually folded it and it's tucked into my bra! But hey it works right and it's a perfect length now.

So onto the statement earrings, here is a side view of me wearing these really unique earrings. I really like this pair of earrings because I've always wanted to pierce my helix but I just never got it for different reasons. But that's why I like these earrings because it has a little cuff for you to put on your helix and it looks like it's pierced. How fun is that? 

Here is a closer look of the earring, I have one on both ears and I think there just really fun. Plus I like how they take my casual day outfit to a more funky vibe with the earrings. 

How do you wear your favorite statement earrings? 

Now that you've seen my look don't forget to check out the other lovely ladies from "Curves Around the World" and there "Statement Earrings!"
