I'm Going To Have To Change The Name of The Blog...

...Because I am no longer someone who can just talk about "fatshion" but rather fashion as a whole. It's been awhile, folks, but the hectic school year is finally over and I've had some major life changes lately. Now I am in a size 12, have lost over 50 pounds, and am feeling the best I've ever felt in my entire life. I'm ready to start sharing a few new things with you here and there.  I don't think I'll ever be able to post quite as much as I used to because I am living a much more active lifestyle and have taken on a summer job within the fashion industry, but I miss writing about fashion and the clothes I love.

I'm working on spending some more time here. See you soon.

We're So Limited...Or Are We?

The BFF is a huge fan of The Limited. Being that it has always struck me as a store for skinny girls, I never even dared to cross the threshold. However, one day over our coinciding winter breaks, she insisted that I come check it out with her. Somewhat reluctantly, I headed inside, prepared to see a ton of cute clothes that I could essentially look at but not touch. At first, my prejudice was fulfilled...everything I saw seemed to be made for those with no curves. Then, after much persuasion from one of the store associates, I tried on a pair of their jeans. Size 14. The biggest size they carried in store (they offer more online). "This is a lost cause," I thought to myself. "They're never going to fit." I slid one leg in...it didn't get stuck on my thigh. Other leg....over my hips....buttoned...holy crap...they fit...comfortably! I couldn't believe it. They fit and looked great. I was ecstatic. But then I looked at the price tag...$75. No can do. However, once they go on sale, those babies will be mine (and of course they will need to be hemmed)!

Please excuse our mess of a dressing room! Ha!

The point of this long unnecessarily drawn out story is this: there are great clothes in places I've never thought to look..we've never thought to look. With this new discovery of The Limited, I feel like I've opened a whole new realm of fashion opportunities for myself. And maybe I've been hiding under a rock for who knows how long, but they have a great new curvy line called Eloquii with a pretty decent range of sizes and some really on-trend items.

Keep your eyes peeled, fellow fashion lovers. You never know where you'll find your next great piece.

How The Blog & I Are Changing...

In case you haven't noticed, I haven't been around the blogosphere too much lately. Every time I have a chance to update, I do, and then don't really have another chance for quite some time. So this is an update to let you know that I've sort of changed my mind about the direction I want this blog to take. I originally started it to keep current with everything fashion. However, as I've mentioned in my last few posts, losing weight comes with the fact that many of my clothes aren't going to fit me as well as they used to (which is a good thing!) and in turn, I don't really have many OOTD's to show you or much to post about within the fashion realm.

Because of that, I've decided that my blog is now going to be more of a personal lifestyle blog. See an outfit I love? I'll post about it. Magazine article I want to pass along? Still posting! Cool trendy stuff? You'll still see that. Healthy recipe that looks great? Got it! Me talking about personal stuff? Yep, that too.

And just so that I can state it in front of the world, when I lose 25 more pounds, I am going to treat myself to buying a new wardrobe (a little motivation to reach my goal!)...and THEN you will certainly see more OOTD posts. And who knows?? Hopefully I'll still be able to post a few in between here and there also.

And of course, I'll still be reading all of your blogs :)

I hope you'll stick with me.
