Why hello there. The new me would like to say hello to you...It's been quite some time.</div>

New blog name. New blog focus. This is me. Living life, being healthy, {still} being in love with all things fashion and beauty, and being happy. I love writing it down, I love sharing and learning from all of you. I need this in my life again in a bad, bad way.</div>

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.<br />
<br />
I'm working on spending some more time here. See you soon.<br />

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)!<div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62661477@N06/6827594975/" title="photo (7) by MissCase, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7031/6827594975_e8f8d037d1.jpg" width="373" height="500" alt="photo (7)" /></a><br /></div><div>Please excuse our mess of a dressing room! Ha! </div><div><br /></div><div>The point of this long unnecessarily drawn out story is this: there are great clothes in places I've never thought to look..<i>we've</i> 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 <a href="http://www.eloquii.com/">Eloquii</a> with a pretty decent range of sizes and some really on-trend items.</div><div><br /></div><div>Keep your eyes peeled, fellow fashion lovers.

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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />And of course, I'll still be reading all of your blogs :)<br /><br />I hope you'll stick with me.<br /><br />♥CaseMiss Casehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15274937172766473842noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1766289970148853661.post-28597909691475687222011-11-28T21:54:00.003-05:002011-12-06T21:23:44.510-05:00Have You Been Naughty or Nice?With the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving all wrapped up, it seems that all anyone can talk about is Christmas.

Hence, the name of this blog including the word "frugal" in the title. I've also run into the problem lately of being in between sizes. Pants at <a href="http://www.lanebryant.com/" style="text-align: left; ">Lane Bryant</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-align: left; "> fit me, but tops (for the most part) don't. </span><a href="http://www.oldnavy.com/" style="text-align: left; ">Old Navy</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-align: left; ">'s tops fit me, but the pants are always hit or miss. LB, Old Navy, and <a href="http://www.torrid.com/">Torrid</a> have always been 3 of my favorites.</span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>That being said, here's my question for you- <b>where are YOU shopping these days?</b> As curvy ladies I know we've had to get creative with our shopping habits, so I'm curious to see what your favorite places to shop are. I could really use some ideas on more stores to frequent so that maybe I can find some more lines that fit my body a little better.</div><div><br /></div><div>Over the weekend I got this dress from Lane Bryant:</div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFbBBP4YpkLuW9uOfbRbb8cAoobqQDnrlr0lFlCMaWYKkPALBmrm2p9Iz7KC-AzQ6OieYO6hI9HBtmEVjgWH-FWSbvXzR15jhlNP8cYhUfqHIDEoUMmTG71YhNimdidJ_2yOrUDZGBIodn/s320/lbdress.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670601302058672194" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 245px; height: 320px; " /></div><div><b>Dress:</b> <a href="http://www.lanebryant.com/">Lane Bryant</a>, $45.28 with coupon ($99.95 regular price)</div></div><div><br /></div><div>It's a size 14 and fits me perfectly, and yet for some reason many of their size 14 tops are too big on me.

I've missed you.</div>To start, I have to give you all a huge apology. I haven't been around for awhile and it was completely unintentional. In fact, blogging has crossed my mind many times and somehow I just haven't been up to it. Let me fill you in a bit on what's been going on with me:<div>-First, I've lost close to 30 pounds over the past 6 months (yay!) and I've been feeling slightly uncomfortable in many of my clothing items. They're not fitting me the way that I'd like them to and in turn I don't feel as if they are worth photographing.</div><div>-Second, I've really been watching my spending. I've gone from pretty frugal to a plain old tightwad when it comes to shopping for clothes. SO needless to say, even though many of my clothes are much looser on me, I haven't really gotten around to buying new ones...especially because I do intend on losing a little more weight and the way I see it- why waste the money?</div><div>-Third, because I've lost weight and am not spending nearly as much on clothing, you've already seen a lot of what I might take OOTD photos of...I'm really not the best at remixing...STILL trying to get better at that!</div><div>With all of that out on the table, I hope you accept a sincere "I'm sorry" for my being MIA over the past few months...I'm ready to get back in the swing of things.</div><div>To get it started, I'd like to do a quick little recap of my summer. </div><div>The BFF's wedding:<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62661477@N06/6239717496/" title="CBP_RAS-RAY_295 by MissCase, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6047/6239717496_7463a29ff5.jpg" width="134" height="500" alt="<span class=" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62661477@N06/6239680584/" title="CBP_RAS-RAY_434 by MissCase, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6110/6239680584_a36c667736.jpg" width="341" height="500" alt="<span class=" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Vacation to Jamaica, mon:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62661477@N06/6239160831/" title="DSC_1310 by MissCase, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6153/6239160831_7ab5d32e17.jpg" width="391" height="500" alt="<span class=" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62661477@N06/6239678544/" title="DSC_1015 by MissCase, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6237/6239678544_b9efcff205.jpg" width="354" height="500" alt="<span class=" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">A wedding a few weeks ago:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62661477@N06/6239717200/" title="casealliecute by MissCase, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6114/6239717200_eacccabc7c.jpg" width="207" height="500" alt="<span class=" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">And finally, one of my proudest moments to date, running my first ever 5K:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62661477@N06/6239198241/" title="caseelissamatt5k by MissCase, on Flickr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; "></span></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62661477@N06/6239198241/" title="caseelissamatt5k by MissCase, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6055/6239198241_3f333546e6.jpg" width="169" height="417" alt="<span class=" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" /></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>So there you have it!

This past weekend we had her wedding shower and I decided to go for the Emma Pillsbury look (really I just felt like a cupcake.) I received this dress, courtesy of <a href="http://eshakti.com/">eShakti</a>, a few months ago. I have been super excited for the weather to finally be warm enough to wear it. The dress was custom sized to my body and let me tell you- it is A-MAZ-ING! I am highly impressed with the quality of the dress and how the custom sizing (which I was super nervous about) fit me perfectly. It is a thick chambray material which makes it feel like it is really made to withstand a lot of wear. The bow detail at the neck adds just the right amount of flair. I know that this will be my go-to summer casual event dress. So, needless to say I am very impressed with <a href="http://eshakti.com/">eShakti</a> and will most definitely order from them again. <span class="Apple-style-span" >(These opinions are solely my own and I am in no way affiliated with eShakti.)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62661477@N06/5840942084/" title="june2011 011 by MissCase, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3549/5840942084_9ab24c7ed8.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="june2011 011" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62661477@N06/5840394837/" title="june2011 016 by MissCase, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5026/5840394837_22bb881526.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="june2011 016" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62661477@N06/5840395985/" title="june2011 020 by MissCase, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5066/5840395985_160b597388.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="june2011 020" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62661477@N06/5840393715/" title="june2011 015 by MissCase, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3151/5840393715_9a06c681e5.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="june2011 015" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Dress:</b> Courtesy of <a href="http://eshakti.com/">eShakti.com</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Cardigan:</b> Old Navy, $19ish on sale</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Belt:</b> Old Navy,$12.50 before coupon</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Flower Pin:</b> <a href="http://www.binkdavies.com/">Bink Davies</a> Boutique in the Short North here in Columbus</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Shoes:</b> Payless, $24.99</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Don't those photos look great?

I hope you are all enjoying the start of summer! I know I sure am!

Lately I've been kind of out of it so I thought we could all use a little sunshine. This is an outfit I wore a week or two ago, inspired by the Old Navy "shop by outfit" section (I posted about it <a href="http://frugalfatshionfrenzy.blogspot.com/2011/03/bow-chicka-wow-wow.html">here</a>.) Needless to say, I got lots of comments on my bright springy colors! I was pretty disappointed, though, because this was the first time I wore this tank and as you can see one of the beads already fell off.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62661477@N06/5756791238/" title="may2011 068 by MissCase, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2600/5756791238_d16b5e74fb.jpg" width="382" height="500" alt="may2011 068" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62661477@N06/5756248407/" title="may2011 072 by MissCase, on Flickr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; "></span></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62661477@N06/5756248407/" title="may2011 072 by MissCase, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3190/5756248407_e23f877832.jpg" width="349" height="500" alt="may2011 072" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62661477@N06/5756248407/" title="may2011 072 by MissCase, on Flickr"><br /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62661477@N06/5756248407/" title="may2011 072 by MissCase, on Flickr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; "><b></b></span></a><b><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62661477@N06/5757072770/" title="may2011 076 by MissCase, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5184/5757072770_1f0fa0f03a.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="may2011 076" /></a></b></div>Tank:</b> Old Navy, $7.50</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Cardi</span>:</b> Old Navy, $19<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">ish</span> on sale</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Skirt:</b> Old Navy, $32.50 with gift card</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Leggings:</b> F21, $5.50</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Shoes:</b> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Payless</span>, $24.99</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Here pretty soon I'm going to be doing a halfway post on my goals for 2011.

It's funny how things change really. I mean, a year ago my life was very different than it is now. So many things have changed. Speaking of a year ago, <a href="http://frugalfatshionfrenzy.blogspot.com/2010/05/those-youve-known-lost-still-walk.html">one year ago today I lost Bozz</a>, the dog my family had for 16 years. It stings to think about, and I'm sure it seems so silly, but I just loved that dog so much. I miss him.</div><div>Anyway, on a lighter note, things are very different in a lot of extremely positive ways. I'm proud of myself for having the strength and independence to learn and grow as a person.</div><div>And so, now that I've gone all philosophical on you talking about changes, here is an outfit that I wore this week to liven things up a bit:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62661477@N06/5721247452/" title="may2011 061 by MissCase, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3596/5721247452_7d2542ddd4.jpg" width="393" height="500" alt="may2011 061" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62661477@N06/5721249992/" title="may2011 062 by MissCase, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2703/5721249992_f040c08078.jpg" width="387" height="500" alt="may2011 062" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62661477@N06/5721248698/" title="may2011 063 by MissCase, on Flickr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; "></span></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62661477@N06/5721248698/" title="may2011 063 by MissCase, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/5721248698_c39e482878.jpg" width="385" height="500" alt="may2011 063" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Skinny Cargos:</b> Old Navy, $19.80</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Tank:</b> Torrid, last summer $14.99ish on clearance</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Shrug: </b>NY&Co, $21.95</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Sandals:</b> Old Navy, $6.50 on sale</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Don't you love my candid eyes-closed photo?</div><div style="text-align: left;">Ha!</div><div style="text-align: left;">Happy Saturday!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>♥CaseMiss Casehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15274937172766473842noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1766289970148853661.post-76313559492501802312011-05-08T17:50:00.004-04:002011-05-08T19:27:22.328-04:00Counting 3-2-1 and I'm Having Fun...<div style="text-align: left;">I'm feeling rather uninspired about writing at the moment...so this will be a short post.

The palace was of supreme class and sophistication. It housed a trove of shopping facilities, a moving staircase, and even an array of inexpensive food peddlers. While Masey strolled through the palace and pondered the items in each of the windows, she came upon a jewelry maker's shop with a royal decree featuring what she thought must be the most beautifully stunning ring she had ever seen in her life:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxOwh4FK6pcYa-sKfdmo6ZdO6wSNslV5MR45LoZU4cEZvfpBrkuq4rt1Y5n9nBSVO8q7yuk0U3g-sYwaKCbvaUwgiFXusX1uJ1FAkpj1CqWIS92TvcQX8zv2lF77aV4_Ey57MseyG-qrib/s1600/tacori_key_ad.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxOwh4FK6pcYa-sKfdmo6ZdO6wSNslV5MR45LoZU4cEZvfpBrkuq4rt1Y5n9nBSVO8q7yuk0U3g-sYwaKCbvaUwgiFXusX1uJ1FAkpj1CqWIS92TvcQX8zv2lF77aV4_Ey57MseyG-qrib/s400/tacori_key_ad.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602299289574144818" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">But which one was it that princess Masey was so taken aback by?

I am desperately in need of a spring/summer shopping trip...particularly for some cute tops. Anyway, I rummaged through my closet to no avail. Then I decided to just throw on one of my many lace-bottom tanks and a shrug. As I took the tank out of the drawer, my new little flower pin I got recently from a <a href="http://www.thirtyonegifts.com/">Thirty-One Gifts</a> party caught my eye because it was the exact same Barbie-pink color as the tank I had pulled out. Coincidence? Perhaps. Or it may just be my sick obsession with anything pink. In any regard, a cute little top combo came together and although the humidity certainly got the best of my straightened hair today, I seemed to get many compliments on my randomly thrown together outfit.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT_1hA8ogtAkERc2h-dM19maCKVwS5jQOXOD0N9CVfjuhAzxZ2R0Dw8SnXSpbi6QrWgG7DTDmiE_mjnsOREj7nxNctfg2mHgkhSwqQiNotWgh5u-i6gGjoueMSWamgxI95AmRJjpG2gObI/s1600/april2011+292.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT_1hA8ogtAkERc2h-dM19maCKVwS5jQOXOD0N9CVfjuhAzxZ2R0Dw8SnXSpbi6QrWgG7DTDmiE_mjnsOREj7nxNctfg2mHgkhSwqQiNotWgh5u-i6gGjoueMSWamgxI95AmRJjpG2gObI/s400/april2011+292.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600112823384018130" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcGneP_eyFC-LRPIgd0mCyihe7kIQZQTilOkOuY18Ta42vgNp7id3ss7q9QmdBP1ttPuZUsVF9RYXLFnZnr5b28JFvN8LLUT4xBgaebhdbABE9kV3hz5BEMWqqs66BgLV7bLw7WKyucsMc/s1600/april2011+288.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 353px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcGneP_eyFC-LRPIgd0mCyihe7kIQZQTilOkOuY18Ta42vgNp7id3ss7q9QmdBP1ttPuZUsVF9RYXLFnZnr5b28JFvN8LLUT4xBgaebhdbABE9kV3hz5BEMWqqs66BgLV7bLw7WKyucsMc/s400/april2011+288.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600112817714567826" /></a></div><div><b>Lace-Bottom Tank:</b> Torrid, $12 last summer</div><div><b>Shrug:</b> Old Navy, $19 last spring</div><div><b>Flower Pin:</b> Thirty-One Gifts, $3</div><div>I also wore a darker gray dress pant with these...but they weren't exciting so I decided a photo was not necessary.

I also got to spend most of the day with the BFF...and that was some much-needed girl time as well.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl9P9g1i0IVuYNrgnjewF4v6sqmEw0o9r3F4R3xWw7qVlQSDO8b4Sl-j5cYPbJ4C9auQCFWIag75FQBcsy3cxeCcV6yNY4H3Rpw8fFGZjQR9rWT3p8GuQdMoYxCugGWo-Fo-PAjLJnsw4m/s1600/april2011+118.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl9P9g1i0IVuYNrgnjewF4v6sqmEw0o9r3F4R3xWw7qVlQSDO8b4Sl-j5cYPbJ4C9auQCFWIag75FQBcsy3cxeCcV6yNY4H3Rpw8fFGZjQR9rWT3p8GuQdMoYxCugGWo-Fo-PAjLJnsw4m/s400/april2011+118.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591932214223743922" /></a><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUr9ndmri7_Q1H_b7R8Ku3M5rM19DQspE72qcDJinhuM-8JbEl5FNQttOiaSf5WRw5XPCRB8v4pK-TpzvlxyQLwxAliATD1NTXxxRG9Uy_npZlMxwfRGS5U_srtxLvCziBQZiaUXpt_qNg/s400/april2011+120.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591931841078398786" /><div><b>Dress:</b> Target, $24.99, Spring 2010 (you have seen this before <a href="http://frugalfatshionfrenzy.blogspot.com/2010/04/lucky-inspiration.html">here</a>)</div><div><b>Cardi:</b> Old Navy, $20</div><div><b>Leggings:</b> Target, $6</div><div><b>Flats:</b> Target, $20ish, Spring 2010<br /><div><br /></div><div>This photo is me...minus makeup plus a kissy face.

The outfits pictured are from the women's plus size line but since I cannot wear anything from that line, I found alternatives (for most pieces I found the exact same items) in their "regular" women's section. Luckily, though, they have most of these items available in both size ranges...so pretty much anyone can wear them. I also got several other things but I want to save showing them to you for when I actually wear them. I just got really excited about those two outfits.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway, I desperately need to catch up on my blog reading so that I know what is going on with all my fellow bloggers out there!

This week has been crazy busy and so unfortunately I have not had much time for blogging. However, I picked up my new copy of <a href="http://www.luckymag.com/">Lucky Magazine</a> today only to glance through and see a special city guide on <b>MY CITY</b>! Ok well, maybe not <i>myyy</i> city per say, but it is! I was super excited when I saw this and the article features one of my favorite parts of Columbus, the Short North, and lots of small locally owned boutiques. I just thought this was too cool not to mention.</div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGg5tnVQNpUkQVvt2NthlU5rfoHTbNFS2g0rdZ7RHcCA8-5HtpYEg1PBuItmBZDXDvMGgbQRIQvV4VWIvGbeIIRjqY01NoxBu4L-ujuKDmoUcTwtansFm10QJDNisg7htbqEMxZjXhFXZO/s400/Scan0001.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 297px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561892753376498674" /></div><div>If you get <a href="http://www.luckymag.com/">Lucky's</a> February issue, be sure to check this out. It is a full two-page spread, but I only scanned the first page. Or you could just come to Columbus and experience it all for yourself.
