All The Pretty Things

I LOVE CLOTHES!

I just do, I love looking at catalogues and magazines and looking at the latest fashions.
My only problem is I hate shopping for clothes. I hate going to the store and never finding the right fit, color, size all those things that make someone who is plus size cringe. I'm not a runway model and I don't fit the mold that designers choose for their collections, which is a damn shame since the average woman is a size 12-14. So thank you fashion world for putting a damper on my shopping habits!

BUT! I still LOVE clothes.
And I've decided not to give a rats about my size any longer! I'm still losing weight but I've given up the notion that I'm going to look or be able to get into a size 2. I've had kids for heaven's sake!
My body had changed a lot but I've decided to be healthy rather than fit this high standard that has been pushed on me since I was 12 years old.

So to honor my new positive attitude I went clothes shopping! Sorry Cpl. Mayhem I know I said I was going to wait but I really needed summer clothes and Victoria Secret had an amazing sale I couldn't pass up!

I love this dress!!




Once I'm complete brave I'd try this one on!

My wedding dress- the one I plan on renewing our
vows in- in Hawaii maybe? (Cpl. Mayhem HINT!)



I love a tank top that is long, I hate getting a top that exposes
my tummy after washing it a couple of times.


LOVE these jeans!!


I'm also a really big fan of Jewelry, especially things that you can't get all the malls. Etsy shops are great for that and this is the necklace I won at Simply Stacie's blog during her Spring Bling Event

Personalized - Queen of Hearts Necklace
I'm getting the letters "D" and "V" engraved on it.

Tell me where do you love to shop? Any website I would love to check out?
Give a shopaholic a fix!

Later days!!

It is so good to hear that I am not the only woman to feel this way. I want to look good and love fashion but shopping just never works out quite right and it frustrates me so.
I guess I should stick to magazine shopping.

Oh I too love the long tank tops, I hate when you sit down and your butt sticks out!
Great finds here!

Absolutely LOVE the dress for you renewal. Beautiful. I love clothes too and this summer have found a new love for dresses but I still absolutely hate trying clothes on. And that I don't have a endless checking account. lol

very cute stuff! I love clothes but I haven't been on a real good shopping spree for quite sometime and am out of the fashion loop. I really love to get stuff at Banana Republic if I can get a good sale! Their pants fit great and I have got some awesome dresses from there!

Just like window shopping and I will never be brave enough for that one :)

I love long tank tops because I'm tall so yes on that one!

I forgot to mention that the necklace is simple but elegant. I like it alot. Another reasoning to me leaving another comment is because I have something for you.
