DOTD: Unable To Tebow With Lace Trimmings

So I tried something new on my last post and I feel like maybe it wasn’t the best time to be creative. So today I have returned to what is normal and expected of my blog. An outfit post, I have to admit that later I switched out the boots to a pair of moto-boots which I feel was a better look. Or maybe it was because it was so comfortable that my mind just felt it was a better look… lol

So while taking these pictures, I couldn’t seem to think of any new poses, so my hubby being the comedian that he is recommended that I do a Tebow. He said that other bloggers are doing it (apparently someone has been Googling images without a chaperone… lol) and that I should jump on the bandwagon. But anyone who knows me… knows that I don’t like to follow the leader… so… no matter how humorous my hubby’s suggestion was… I just couldn’t Tebow. Besides, how could I possibly in this lace print mini-skirt?

So how are you doing today? Were you off yesterday? Did you do anything to celebrate civil rights? (Actually… how would you celebrate that? A parade perhaps?) Are there any poses you won’t do because they’ve been “overdone”? (i.e., planking, tebowing, & etc). What do you think of today’s look? Hasta la proxima ~besitos~

DOTD: Stylish Lady on A Budget (1)

Hola Divas….
Today I decided to draw inspiration form a set that a friend of mine created a while ago. I wasn’t sure if I could pull it off but I loved the look today (only in the pictures I am SERIOUSLY bloated… being a woman sometimes sucks). But I still love this look. I did have to tweak it a bit because of shoes and well the desire to wear tights… But end of the day… I love love love this look… bloated or not….

I wished I had taken the pictures in the morning… but hey… hindsight.

Today wasn’t a bad day… but because I am all “girl-timing” I am weak and exhausted and just plain BLAH!!! Also, I have a little pain returning in my stomach… I have to stop BSing and go get my lady parts checked… pronto.

Anyway… it’s almost Chrismas… are you ready? lol… I most certainly am NOT!!! Let’s discuss… lol

DOTD: Just A Hint… of Purple

Hola Divas…
Last night I decided it would be best if I figured out what I wanted to wear rather then scramble in the morning and make poor decisions. I guess I now need to remind myself to also include shoes in my outfit choice because this morning I just could not make a decision. I tried and tried and all my black shoes looked the same. I finally had to rely on my daughter, Yaz, to help me pick a shoe to complete my look. I mean can you just imagine me standing over my shoes with a dazed look on my face… yeah… you can imagine it… can’t you?!

Today was almost a #fail because for most of the day I only had on half of my makeup and I forgot my ring so you couldn’t see the purple I tried to incorporate… but now the look is complete in the photos. I put on my makeup during my lunch and I added the ring when I came home to take the photos. If you’re wondering why I even added the purple at all… it’s because so many of us divas wear red/white/black… I felt like adding the purple would kick it up a notch. I really like this skirt… it really made me feel all sucked in… I also have it in black and can’t wait to wear that one soon with a review item I recently received for the holiday season.

Well… I have to get to my part-time… so I guess I have to end it here… What did you wear today? Do you sometimes feel like you are constantly repeating the same looks? I do… What do you do to spruce yourself up to the next level?

DOTD: Strangers Don’t Choose My Fashion

Hola Divas:
I dress for me… I say this as a prelude to a bit of a rant. Yes, I am plus sized. Yes, I have thick thighs and a chubby middle and humungous boobs. But I am me and how I dress is a choice I make for myself everyday. I don’t dress for anyone else other than Yoli. I don’t care if you eyeball me and give me nasty looks because that is you feeling badly about yourself. Don’t hate me because I love my reflection and who I am from head to toe. Women in 2011/2012 need to do better. Seriously, if someone is better dressed than you, you do NOT have permission to then stare and give said person the “stomach virus face”. If I run across someone who is better dressed than myself (yes… it does happen) I usually go out of my way to let them know I like their outfit, shoes, hair or whatever. Why? Because my mama raised me right… Today I wore a mini-skirt (I had originally planned to wear this outfit yesterday but I seriously didn’t get out of bed until like 4pm) and I got so much hate while perusing my local Dutch Amish Market. Especially when one of the women was old enough to be my Grandmother. I seriously wanted to walk over to her and say “Bish, you know better!!!” but I didn’t. My hubby was like a kid in a candy store (literally) because they had so much great food and sweets available. I think he is going to “catch the ‘betes” (diabetes) after he eats all the goodies we bought.

Anyway… I had plans to record a video for Thanksgiving and that never happened. I ate too much and really don’t care. And now I’m just trying to do my best to enjoy these days off. How was your Thanksgiving? Have you done any “Black Friday” shopping? If so, what did you buy? Hasta la proxima ~besitos~

DOTD: Love On Top

Hola Divas!!!
Okay… I can’t get enough of this song. I listen to it every morning on my way to work. And each evening on my way home. I feel like that song (by Beyonce… btw) is the perfect song for how hubby and I are now. As the lyrics say Nothing’s perfect, but it’s worth it after fighting through my fears. I think that after worrying that I was making the wrong decision about our separation… or even more so about us getting back together… I think now I truly feel like I’ve made the right decision for me and for my family.

Now as for the outfit today… no… your eyes are not playing tricks on you… those are actually forest green patent stilettos… OH YEAH!!! I saw them… I loved them… I had to have to them… and I don’t regret that decision… Purple & green… love love love that combo. Anyway… I am on my way out the door to get to my part time… and then back home to go nighty night. I hope all is well with my marvelous readers. I am still on the lookout for more Diva Spotlight participants. And even if you’ve done it before… I would love to shine the spotlight on you again. Anyway… onto the fashion… ~besitos~

DOTD: Sweetest Thing

Today was a day I needed. I needed a day sans drama where I could let my windows down in my truck and let the wind blow through my hair. I am still on the search for a white dress for FFFWeek & I don’t know how I will do this… as I mentioned before… not a fan of white. Anyway… Didn’t find anything. I didn’t really put much effort into looking either. I was a little distracted by the sun, the breeze, and my cup of Agua de Sandia (Watermelon Water… the best thing at my local Mexican restaurant…. YUMMMM!!)

Today was an awesome day. Not that it’s over. I plan to complete it with a glass of Moscato and some good movies on TV and some fashion inspiration on my laptop. I have so many ideas on what I want to pack and take with me. I also know what I want to wear before I leave. And what I would love to find while there. So much excitement for my NYC trip.

But this is Memorial Day Weekend. I hope you all enjoy the weather, the barbecues and the day off. I noticed that of my favorite blogs… only a few have been blogging in the last few weeks. I guess that explains why my numbers are doing so well. I hope that my fellow bloggers are doing well and that they aren’t blogging because they are so busy enjoying life to update a blog. But I have nothing else going on… soooooo…. ummm… *giggles*. I also updated my BlogRoll in the side panel and tried to include some new blogs I found. If your blog isn’t there… let me know… it was an oversight. I want to include all who have contacted me. *Smiles*

Now… I ask… What do you think of today’s casual look?

DOTD: Happy Birthday to… ME!!

So today is my birthday. I am a spring baby. So much so, that when I planned today’s outfit it was supposed to be warm enough to not have to wear this outfit with tights. I have no where to go currently… but I wanted to look HOT… not cute, adorable, or sophisticated… I wanted to cause an ESCANDALO… and make people need to gulp water from my HOTNESS… I still really like this outfit… but it would have been something more exotic if my legs had been free to enjoy the “spring” weather. Only today it is like 38 degrees and raining. UGH!!!! This weather is infuriating!!! It won’t let me be great!

Anyway, I’m the birthday girl so I feel cute and my eyeshadow was really fun to do today. I was going to say something really deep and profound about us getting older and wiser… only problem is… with another year older… comes another part of my memory that has been flushed down the toilet. lol

So what are you doing on the best day on earth (too dramatic?)… What do you think of my outfit?

Before I forget… GO TEAM #ARIES!!!!
