DOTD: Big Pink Bear

Hola Divas…
Today I was not in a good mood. I know you will think this is TMI… but I recently moved “cubicles” and now I’m surrounded by women and I swear our cycles all synchronized. So I’m bloated, crampy, and I’m getting the tar beat out of me at work. I still love my job, just a bit stressed is all. So I wasn’t in a good mood so I felt like a bear. So I posted on our IM system at work… Don’t poke the bear… a pink bear… but still a bear lol.

The highlight of my day… hubby showed up to my job with some apple cider and macaroni & cheese (yes… he gets me!!). And I came home to find that my banana powder had arrived… WOOO HOOOOO!!!! Now I can take some Nyquil (yeah… have a cold too). So I thought I would upload my look because I love these boots and this scarf with this look. You probably can’t tell in this picture but I have on floral tights as well. When you’re having a bad day, what do you do to turn it around? Does packages arriving make you smile like they make me smile? Or is comfort food and wine your go to happy maker? Hasta la proxima ~besitos~

Denim Crop Jacket: Torrid
Black Sweater Dress: Burlington Coat Factory
Floral Tights: Assets (JCPenney)

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: Waste of Space

I wanted to write an awesome post… but it’s late. I’m exhausted and well… my mind is a complete blank. I loved this outfit but I think you can see I don’t feel well in the pictures… I wish I had felt better so I could really Diva it up in the pictures…

How are you today? What did you wear today? Am I being overly critical about these pictures?

P.S. I am loving the lace back of this cardigan

What I Wore While Being Completely Exhausted:
Olive Tank: Norma Kamali (Wal-mart)
Black Skinnies: Torrid
Floral Lace Back Cardigan: Forever21+

DOTD: Stepping On Clouds Heading Towards Sunshine

Hola Divas…
Okay… today is awesome… I took my son to meet the principal and staff of his new “alternative” school. He was fighting me 100% but after sitting there and discussing the school with the staff like an adult… he seems excited to be embarking on this new future. I love my son… but lately… it’s been touch and go on how I was going to make it through this. Now… I know we can. He even wants to take some photography classes so that we can make my blog “our” project. Something we can do together…

So after the meeting with the school we went to this old abandoned hospital in Annapolis and took pictures. Those pictures are what you see below. They aren’t the best but I’m proud of him and how hard he worked to get them right. Also, he even came up with some poses he wanted me to try. All in all… I think he will be my full time photographer going forward. I really enjoyed the time with him.

As for the outfit… I FINALLY figured out a way to wear these shoes and this scarf together in a way that I like. If you recall the last time I wore it HERE… I wasn’t so pleased… Today however… LOVE IT!!! What do you think?

As for conversation… Who is your photographer? Do you have a tripod? If you had a choice, would you choose tripod or person? What do you think of pictures my son took? Can you tell I’m feeling a bit better? Hasta la proxima ~besitos~

What I Wore To Change My Son’s Life:
Black Cami: Forever21+ 
Scarf: Five Below
Jeans: Wal-mart
Gray Blazer: Curve Appeal Consignment (via Old Navy)

Isn’t he handsome?

DOTD: Execution #FAIL

Hola Divas…
Ever have an idea that you can see clearly in your head… and then when you actually put it together… it doesn’t quite come together. I wore this outfit and although it’s not TERRIBLE in pictures… I’m just not happy with it. I really wanted the tights to be darker but I didn’t have any dark gray/charcoal tights. I also had these tights and wanted to wear them but never could seem to find the outfit to wear them with. Well, I think I should have waited a little longer. lol

Well, I’m exhausted as I’ve just walked in from my part-time. So I will bid you a good night and ask…. When was your last “execution #fail”? What were you wearing and what do you wish you could change about it?

What I Executed Poorly Today:
Sweater Dress: Burlington Coat Factory
Scarf: Five Below
Denim Jacket: Torrid
Tights: Kmart 
Shoes: Shoedazzle
Earrings: beauty supply

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: Giving You What You Want

Hey Divas,
I wasn’t going to post today but I remember you commenting saying you didn’t only want to see my “perfectly executed” outfits but some of my “not so good” ones… So this outfit was something I threw on because I made the horrible mistake of NOT getting my clothes ready the night before a Monday morning. So I found myself sitting on the end of my bed… buck naked… hating everything I own. Then I decided I wanted to wear my (other) polka dot scarf & earrings. I figured it would be easy to create an outfit around that… HAHAHA!!! I am so naïve sometimes…

Sooo today was a rollercoaster… but end result… super happy. Have I mentioned lately that me and hubby are doing so much better? Have I mentioned how much I love him and how happy I am that he has reverted to the man I married and met. Okay enough of my mush… here is my fashion…  ~besitos~

What I Wore Today:
Pink Top: Wal-mart
Gray Tank: Forever21+
Black Pants: Wal-mart
