Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ September 28, 2022

I may as well just wear this dress every day. It feels like I already do. When I look at my TikTok profile it’s like 3:1 green polka dot dress to anything else. I’m in that “am I going? aren’t I going?” limbo…I was supposed to be flying down to Katie’s in

Guh. I hit the wall on Wednesday before I could get this posted. Sleep is a little challenging lately. I’m TIRED. I can’t stay AWAKE in the evening. I fall asleep practically as soon as I close my eyes. But then I wake up repeatedly through the night. And THE DREAMS! My

First, apologies for the upcoming cell phone pictures. It’s just a (much) faster process than using the nice camera and right now…being able to cut 10-15 minutes from one place and add it to another is…a help. I can (maybe. on a good day.) write two Korean sentences either in an assignment

Annnnnd fall is right around the corner! How can I tell? THE BLUE CHAMBRAY SHIRT IS BACK. It was ever so slightly on the cool side this morning when I checked Weather Kitty for how I should dress weather appropriate. However, by the afternoon it was needlessly warm and humid. And now

I did not disappear again! We Had our Adventureland (amusement park) event last night and by the time I got home I was sweat-soaked and crippled, ha ha. I take pictures there, so I just loop around and around and around the park for three hours. Walked 2 miles, which is a

Ooh! So many Bettyes! I wonder how many times, really, I’ve worn this dress. I bought it in June of 2017. And I wear it a lot. A LOT. I’m so hungry. Squirrel. I have an anxiety hangover from yesterday and now just feel sorta crashy. And hungry. Dress: Junarose, 22. 2017

Annnnd she’s back. Summer vacay’s over, time to get back TO it. TODAY, I am at high anxiety. With a side of low blood sugar jitters. NOT a good way to go into the afternoon with all I need to do. Mondays are “dialogue reading” in my Korean group. Usually there’s just

Month in Review: August 2022

Hello, Friends! I’ve been MIA for a bit and thought I would kick-off my return with a little catch-up of what I’ve been up to. Not much. Ha. Not much is what I’ve been up to. August is when the heat finally found us here in NY for real so I mostly

I have a lotta nerve. Putting THIS picture on here. This outfit. Like I’m Miss La Dee Dah, look at me, I’m on style blogger on the internet! In my defense, it was “cleaning up day” at work…so I knew I needed to dress to get dirty. I had to scrounge around

Two more days of having to get dressed for work. You know, before vacation. I’ll be pretty much wearing the same two outfits every day next week. I look forward to it. Remember when I used to do the “what I bought this month” posts?? HA HA HA HA HA. I bought

I just got home. It’s late. I went to Korean bar-b-q and hot pot with a loonnggg-time friend who lives nearby and I haven’t seen in like 5 years. Totally my fault. This is how long it’s been since we saw one another. I still had a dog. I did not have

So, 12 years ago today I took my tiny baby to college. She was rooming with her close friend from home so I felt better about just driving away and leaving her there. Three days later I learned that CFfH was having way too hard a time and dropping out and returning

Wow. I had my mother’s hair this morning. Ha ha. I couldn’t look at that. Figured I hadn’t done a weekend ootd in a while, so…this is Summer Weekend Uniform #1, that is one of two outfits I’ve worn pretty much every weekend day, and after work during the week. The nightgown

I don’t think I have the energy to write a post (she says as she writes a post). The day started with discovering that my checking account had $200 less in it than I calculated it should have. More specifically, I thought I had $200…and the bank says I have $2.94. THAT’S

It was mismatched day at work. I prefer to call it Pattern Mixing but…and I feel like that’s a norm for me 🙂  Maybe not so much in the summer as I’m not layering much in the heat, but… In honor of the day I’m wearing my grey and white stripe button-down

Another lovely dry, not hot day. Ahh. I didn’t even turn the ac on in the car! I ALMOST snagged the Junarose dress on the falling-apart 1940s rattan porch chair I have in the living room. I have many pieces of beholed clothing from that chair. I keep having the thought “let

Wow, we’re halfway through the month. And the heat wave has broken. I feel like in the past few years (5?), once the extreme summer heat & humidity broke in mid-August it just never came back. I wouldn’t be mad at that. 80 degrees and low humidity is just fine with me
