Plus Size Outfit of the day ~ September 15, 2022

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

Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ August 24, 2022

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

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

Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ August 15, 2022

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

IMPORTANT BUSINESS: I have a retraction to make from yesterday’s post. Re yesterday’s horoscope, I DID have a woman visit me (via text), bringing information involving new scientific or metaphysical studies that I found fascinating and that I wanted to share with others, in the form of some newly-discovered geographical information: I

My horoscope for the day. I’m a Virgo. Aug 9, 2022 – A female visitor who needs some sympathy could contact you today. She may want advice on some problems, Virgo, but she could also bring information, possibly involving new scientific or metaphysical studies that you find fascinating and that you’ll want to

Annnd we’re back. How does Monday come around again SO FAST?? Apparently it is death-defyingly hot outside today. I wouldn’t know. I am only going from air conditioned bubble to air conditioned bubble. That’s what July and August are for me. So, swingy-away-from-the-body sleeveless dress with linen button-down worn unbuttoned. And wouldn’t

Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ August 4, 2022

Ooh it’s a big day, I’m straying from the prescribed summer outfit rotation. I’m not thrilled (shocker). I’m not a fan of “tee shirt on its own” AND it’s a pretty hot day for jeans. BUT I needed to save the linen pants for tomorrow cuz it’s a laundromat day and it’s
