Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ June 2, 2022

Let’s see if WordPress can behave today. I’m liking this grey striped button-down ever since it softened, wrinkled, and “casualed up” after washing. I LIKED it all crisp and tailored…but I WEAR it more now. It acts as a neutral like the chambray shirts do…but in a different color so I don’t

Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ May 31, 2022

And we’re back. How was everyone’s long holiday weekend? I should not assume everyone had a long weekend. I hope you’ve been well since we were last together – how’s that?? I had a little…meltdown over the weekend. I took a little break from All The Things. Sounds good, right?? Nope. My brain

Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ June 1, 2022

Did I write May 1 on a bunch of things today?? Maybe. Am I wearing essentially the same shirt as yesterday? YES. Fight me. As soon as the outside water gets fixed (a pipe did not survive the winter and I lost my cute outdoor shower), I’ll get plants for the patio.

Plus Size Outfit & Thoughts of the Day ~ May 27, 2022

Friday. We made it. I sometimes hate the feeling of always hurrying to be in some future situation – after work, the weekend, vacation, when I get older/married/finish school/get a job/have the money/feel better/retire. I feel like MOST of my life has been spent that way. “Live in the moment” SOUNDS So

Thoughts of the Day ~ May 26, 2022

WordPress is eating my posts. I just noticed one missing from last week…and I see yesterday’s never went up. So I’m going to share it here. Yesterday’s was NOT Plus Size Outfit of the Day post…but a Thoughts of the Day…and I shared this on my TikTok NOT Gratitude of the Day

Tuesday. High of 67. Overcast. Ha. Clearly I have missed my calling as a weather reporter. Mustard + Faded Chambray Blue = All The Color Happiness. I have switched over from the cold weather chambray to the warm weather chambray. BIG CHANGES HAPPENING OVER HERE. Mustard Striped Tee: Old Navy, 3x. 2020

Think I can make Monday feel how this outfit looks?? Like, WHOOSH! We’re fun and loose and breezy! Think I’ll ever take another in-focus picture again?? Think we’ll make it through this week to the 3-day weekend? This is a little “break-from Korean” week while I focus 96.9% on TEFL…I’m SO CLOSE

Wasn’t much better today with the getting up on time….but I was not as bad as yesterday. This week was INTERMINABLE. Doesn’t it seem like I’ve shared like 16 outfits of the day this week? As a friend at work said, “every day this week has been a long week.” Yup. BUT

Lookit me, I’m almost fancy, ha ha. I am DEFINITELY blurry. Wow. The new weird battery can’t come fast enough! I haven’t worn either of these “on top” items in a REALLLLLY long time. I’m sort of over the duster length cardigan dealie…but I’ve kept a couple that fill a need. I

Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ May 16, 2022

Monday. AGAIN. I’m not feeling it. I’m not feeling this top, either. I’ve had mixed feelings about it ever since I got it…2 years ago?? I like it in concept. You know I love a good pattern mix. I love an oxford stripe. But I don’t LOVE love the colors in this

Sunday Funday! Woohoo. Happy to be back in my mustard linen pants. Wish I could get 2-3 pairs of THESE exact pants in different colors: black, flax…and maybe navy or olive green?? But I’ve tried. The exact same make model brand size…and they’re all different. None of them fit like these. Not

Couldn’t we just say that going forward my uniform is baggy jeans and a tee shirt with the chambray shirt unbuttoned over top? It would save me a lot of words. Wait’ll you see what’s coming in the next couple days. You’ll never guess. Green Tee: Asos, 3x. 2016 Denim Chambray Button-down:

Oh it’s a big day here on Fashion Schlub. I’m standing in a different spot. Pretty exciting, right?? Now you see my messy “living spot.” The sofa where I watch kdramas, read, eat dinner, and do a lot of Korean homework. I’ve accumulated a lot of stuff down there…seeing glasses, two remotes,

Holy COW have I hit the wall! Did I just talk about this yesterday? I feel like maybe. But today I am REALLY tired. I can hear murmurs of “take a day off!” but…then there’s just twice as much to do tomorrow! All my things have hard deadlines, I can’t just willy

Ack, my apologies for out-of-focus pic. Ugh. I was using the camera’s self-timer not my wireless remote and…this is what I get for trying to rush. My after-work schedule for this week is JUST a little bit ridiculous. Frankly, I feel like I’ve been more consistently productive in the past…6 months (?)

  ANNNNNND…it’s spring. Like, actual 60 degrees in the morning, spring. Springy enough to leave the house in the morning in bare legs. HALLELUJAH! I’m so JEANS WEARY! I was a little possesed this afternoon when I did my tiktok in this outfit, about how it would have been “cuter” if I’d

Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ May 4, 2022

Ooh. This is borderline work appropriate. Barely. But so many of my clothes are in the hamper that the cupboard is BARE. I’m wearing the crumbs. Which is not to say I don’t LIKE this. I always like a black column with an unbuttoned chambray over top. But this is looking at

If yesterday was a 9.25 (cuz let’s not be ridiculous, you always have to leave room for improvement), today was…not. A 7? It was an anxious day. I woke up that way, it never let up. AND things happened to exacerbate it. The Things might have all been in my anxiety-skewed perception,

Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ May 2, 2022

For some reason I was feeling anxious about going to work today…so I wanted to wear something cozy, comfortable and easy. This cream cashmere v-neck fills that bill every time. I honestly wear this sweater all year round…it’s great for layering in winter when it’s cold and it keeps me warm…and on
