Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ March 18, 2022
Annnnd the day began with…a flat tire. Yes, another one! Flat tires are my destiny. Headstone Idea #187: Here’s Where The Flat Tires Stop. ANYWHO…today in a meeting with my supervisor and a colleague, all of a sudden S stops and goes, “Bettye!” (I was like ruh-roh) “I just noticed there’s a

Happy St Patrick’s Day! I know I am part Irish, at least I think I am! Ha. But a small part, like way way back. But on St. Patrick’s Day isn’t EVERYONE Irish?? So, I got the wearing’o’the green. I really wanted to wear my swooshy green and white polka dot dress
The One Where I Went to a Korean Spa: Body Scrub Edition
When I was in California my cousin took me on a terrifying unique adventure. We went to a Korean spa for body scrubs. Sounds delightful, right?? A gentle rubdown with scented scrubs and luxurious lotions? IT’S NOT THAT. “Seshin” is an intense Korean cleaning process that entails soaking in hot water then
Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ March 15, 2022
Shot outside today for the first time since they cut my (MY) little trees down on the hill. Still sad. I’m not in love with this overall dealie. I’m feeling tired and lazy and unimaginative. I like the blue chambray with the green cardigan. The color of the cardigan has a cool
Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ 3.14.22
After the week away, I’m struggling with re-entry into LIFE. But I managed to get showered and dressed this morning and to work on time (more or less). I don’t think I’ve worn this plaid button-down with this grey cardigan before…and I really like them together. I’d been waiting to wear them
Week in Review: Week 306 California Edition
I’m still in lovely SoCal… MONDAY, 3.7.22 After a couple of run-around days, this was a quieter, at-home day. My cousin had errands to run to get ready for Monday Night Family Dinner: Mardi Gras Edition, and I stayed home and did some TEFL work and got myself ready for the Bangtan
Where Bloggers Live: My Dream Home

Every month a group of six bloggers share their work-spaces, homes, towns, and more! This month we’re sharing our dream homes.
Week in Review: Week 305
Hello from chilly Southern California! Not complaining; last week was in the 80s and that’s too hot for me. Just people are “oh it’s so nice to go someplace warm during the NY winter,” and honestly it’s like 7 degrees warner here today than back home. So. The past week was about
Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ March 3, 2022
This is a very favorite outfit. I LOVE this cardigan. It’s a wool blend, not thick but warm. Good fit in the shoulders and sleeves, good length. I can actually put my hands into the pockets! I like the v-neck style on a cardigan, i like buttons. This is different than the
Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ March 2, 2022
I got a little haircut. I’m still recovering from the bad bad so very bad haircut I got back in November so I still won’t let anyone touch the top or sides or bangs..so this was just a “getting the back closer to my head” cut. It’s good. It’ll look better tomorrow,
Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ March 1, 2022 ~ POP QUIZ EDITION
I hope you’ve been paying attention, cuz this is a POP QUIZ. Charcoal cashmere crew-neck over: a) Disney princess costume b) Old Navy Luxe tee c) Harley Davidson tee shirt I damaged these Converse by: a) getting detergent on them b) stretching out the back elastic when stretching c) stepping in poop
Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ February 28, 2022
Got a bit of a Canadian Tuxedo situation going on here with the Tencel chambray button-down and the mid-wash jeans. I broke it up a bit with a low-contrast “breaker” – the taupe cardigan. I do love a good taupe + chambray combo. Was chilly today so I had the long-sleeved (long-SLEEVE
February Check-In
Since I haven’t been doing the weekly Week-in-Review posts (since there’s nothing interesting going on to review!), I thought I’d just give a high overhead catch-up update of what’s going on with me. SOUTH KOREA ADVENTURE I’m going to say it out-loud here so then I guess it has to be a
Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ February 25, 2022
Ahh. Back in last year’s favorite sweater 🙂 It’s extremely comfortable in that it’s both cozy and light at the same time – a miracle of modern science. Sadly, it’s badly pilled and “fuzzed,” and even my clothing shaver isn’t helping it much. I actually just tried to get some of the
Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ February 24, 2022
Feeling better today. And it’s back to being cold. I feel naked without a shirt under my shirt 🙂 But it’s another laundry day so…I must sacrifice. This brown plaid shirt is a thrift store find. I like the fit. It’s loose in the tummy/hips, but well-fitting in the shoulders/sleeves. SEE, CLOTHING
Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ February 23, 2022
Ohhh. Deep Sigh. I’m not feeling “right” today. A little queasy-ish. Exhausted. Not WELL. But nothing conclusive enough to stay out of work for. So I’m just wearing easy things. That I know work and I don’t have to be thinking about all day. I always love this color combo: mustard gold
Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ February 22, 2022
This is (as proclaimed by me) Casual Week at work. We’re closed for mid-winter recess, so students and teachers are not here, so it’s just skeletal admin staff. So in MY mind that means Casual Week. So, a comfy easy outfit for the start of the week. The 12,957th wearing of the
Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ February 17, 2022
One of my favorite classic color combos is black and “faded chambray” blue. Do you think there’s a Crayola crayon called “chambray blue”? There should be. What would improve this outfit, in my mind…is WASHED black jeans vs BLACK black. It would give just a smidge of subtle color variation between the
Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ February 18, 2022
Oh, dear. I feel like sunshine today. Blrrggh. That’s not my jam, haha. It’s too much. Maybe if I’d worn the black jeans (which I considered, but I just wore them yesterday) that would have toned it all down a bit. Like dark sunglasses. It’s fine. It’s just…a lot. A lot of
