DOTD: And the award for worst blogger ever goes to…

Hola Divas…
I have completely fallen off my blogging game… I want to blog but lately I’ve been sooo swamped at work that I just can’t seem to find the time/desire. Now this week has also been bad because I have a double ear infection and strep throat… but I I persevered and made it to work (albeit not particularly on time). But today… after finally having a diagnosis… I decided to step up my fashion game today. I have to say this is one of my favorite outfits in a while. I felt like all the pieces seemed to come together effortlessly.

Now I need you to ignore the fact that I am makeup-less and that my face is swollen (yea… its that bad). But focus on my first piece ever purchased from Macy’s and my awesome shoes that I love. And also today was the first outdoor picture and I hope there will be many more to come…

Now that I truly intend to stay connected… What have I missed in the blogsphere? Have you blogged any outfits or content that you really want me to check out? Leave a comment with a link below *smiles*
~hasta la proxima~ besitos

P.S. Did you notice I’m wearing one of my new favorite colors? CORAL!!!

What I Wore While Really Not Feeling Well:
Sheer Batwing Top: Soprano (Macy’s)
Crop Challis Pants: Forever21+
Shoes: ShoeDazzle
Watch/Necklace/Earrings: Charming Charlie
Ring: Dots
Bracelets: Lane Bryant 
Sunglasses: Coach

DOTD: Don’t Poke the Bear… oh & a review

Hola Divas…
Okay… usually when I say that… I mean… get the hellz away from me before I rip your head off. But today that title is for dear old hubby… he is in a mood. He can’t seem to stop being soooo grumpy. I have just decided that I will leave him alone tonight and focus on my own happiness. Today was a pretty good day and I’m in a pretty good mood. And today I wore one of my favorite colors… Coral is AMAZING!!!

So I have to say I received an email from Penningtons and they wanted to send me a fun surprise from their new lookbook. And I didn’t know what to expect them to send… but WHOA!!!! What are they chances I would get a CORAL Trench Coat?! I don’t think I have been this excited to wear anything in a long time. So I of course, had to wear it the same week I received it in the mail… hehe!!! It’s $130 and I don’t own a Trench… but I have to say that it is totally 1000% worth the cost. I can’t wait to wear it in the sunlight (but of course I get home too late to take day pictures). I love the way it hangs… and I the color is bright and AMAZING… and the fit is perfection. Okay so this is not a review as it is a reason for you to buy one… seriously… if you want we can even wear them on the same day like TWINZIES!!! Okay… maybe that is a bit much (but it we could do a coral trench blogger challenge… oooh the possibilities)…

Anyway… I’m going to hit the sack before hubby gets any angrier… and before you ask… yes… I will kiss him goodnight regardless of his stinky mood… cause I’m just that type of wife… lol… Ever have a day when your significant other was angry and you couldn’t seem to fix it? Do you have any advice? What would you do? Hasta la proxima ~besitos~

What I Wore While He Was Mr. Grumpy McGrumpyPants:
Coral tank/Multi-Shoes: Target
TieDye Top: Target (Pure Energy)
Skirt: Forever21+
Ring: Dots
Necklace: Burlington Coat Factory
Watch: Charming Charlie
Earrings: beauty supply
AWESOME Coral Trench Coat: Penningtons (gifted)

DOTD: Longest Day Ever… no seriously

I got off work at 10pm… yes… you read that correctly… I am learning how to do the job my previous boss (Pecana) was doing. I love all the time she has taken to train me even though she doesn’t work there full time. I have to admit that if you had told me last year that I would be doing much of her job… I would have called you a liar… but wonders never cease.

So needless to say… I got to work at 8:45am and left at 9:59pm… color me exhausted. However, I love the outfit I was wearing today and since I haven’t blogged an outfit in what feels like months, I wanted to post this look before I passed out asleep.

I am soooo behind on blogging due to work & just life in general… but know that this weekend I plan on catching up with all of your blogs… scouts honor. I hope you like this outfit… Have you ever worked a day as long as I did today? (who am I kidding… this isn’t even the longest day I’ve ever worked… lol). Is there something you would like to see on the blog in coming days?

P.S. Hubby is doing much better. I know I never gave you all an update but he is feeling much better. Some days are better than others… but end result is that if he eats healthy… he will be fine **YAY!!!**

What I Wore Until Practically Midnight:
Teal Tank: Target
Multi Top: Target (Pure Energy)
Skirt: ASOS Curve
Shoes/Watches: ShoeDazzle
Necklace: Target
Earrings: Charming Charlie

DOTD: Oh The Rain…

So today I had to take my picture in the office before I left for the day. It was raining like crazy and myself and my new work “esposa”, Maria, were held hostage for a moment while we both prayed the rain would stop. Well it didn’t stop… it kept going and going… so we ran in the rain and I then ran smack dab into traffic. Maria asked me to flip around and hang with her to get a pedicure. Well… how could I resist hanging with her when it is so gross and I’m barely moving anyway. Not to mention she is the sweetest and we’ve connected (I love people… I really do). After my pedicure I hopped into my car and headed home. No more traffic… YAY!!

I wanted to hang out with my friend today… but of course the hubby is probably somewhere knee deep in alcohol so I can’t leave my kids here. So I’m stuck also. I really loved todays outfit and I got a pedicure… so that is why I haven’t kirked out and tried to hunt down the “hubby” and beat him with a flip flop until he passes out into a coma (do you know how many times I would have to hit him for that to happen? That is how much he infuriates me). But I digress… I did love today’s look… but I get the feeling that the pictures (darn broken lens) don’t do it justice.

FFFWeek: White on White Cruise

The cruise was amazing. There were visions of plus size fabulousness in white. There is not much to say. It was a cruise on a yacht with 3 levels where we sailed around for hours. Had a blast… pictures below (I’m rather lazy right now because I’m completely exhausted… If you have additional questions… put them in the comments and I will answer them individually)

I wore:
Dress & Earrings & Bangles: Ashley Stewart
Shoes: ebay
Head-piece: borrowed from my roomie – Sarah of Queen Sized Flava

These are my roomies: Karen, Jessica, & Sarah

WorkWear Wednesday: Heat Wave

First, I only wore this outfit for the post. It’s like 1000 degrees outside and there is no way I could wear all the above clothing without dying (or atleast passing out for a few minutes). But what is crazy, this is my favorite of all my workwear pieces. I need a job to be able to wear this. I mean… how cute is this outfit. Super cute. And can you believe that the accessories came to me last minute? I was going do do an all brown look… but at the last minute the teal earrings, shoes, and ring popped into my mind. And I LOVE it…

I woke up at 3:30am today and started applying for jobs. I am more motivated then ever to find work. I miss certain luxeries and I have a feeling that God is going to bless me soon. I don’t know when. And I have a feeling it won’t be what I was making before… but I can feel the blessings on the horizon. So I apply until this computer is on fire. Because this summer, I am working towards saving for a house for my children. Period.

So my question this week is this.. Would you still visit my blog if I didn’t ever have anything new? Would you still love me if my blog was just reworkings of pieces I already own? What do you think of today’s outfit for work? Would you wear it? Would you change any pieces?

Outfit Breakdown:
Top: Lane Bryant
Skirt: Kiyonna
Shoes: Shoedazzle
Earrings/Ring: Burlington Coat Factory
Belt: Flea Market

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?
