Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ June 29, 2022

Ahh, a swishy dress and sleekish hair, whatta time to be alive! After almost a year without, I FINALLY splurged and replaced my old curling iron that threatened to burn the house down every time I plugged it in (so, yes, I stopped using it. as is evidenced by The Year of

Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ June 28, 2022

Lately, my phone alarm going off in the morning means “hit snooze,” not “GET UP.” I mean, I know we all hit snooze over and over and over again (don’t we??), but I no longer think, “oh, alarm, I guess I should get up, no, I think I’ll hit snooze and lay

Week(ish) In Review: The One Where I’m Still Alive

Hello! Yes, I am alive. Yes, everything is fine. Several lovely people reached out to me over the weekend asking if I was okay, if everything was okay and I realized I never even said, “I’m gonna take a little break,” cuz, frankly, there was not even time/energy for THAT.  I haven’t

Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ June 17, 2022

Damn. At lunch I thought of a really clever way to start this post and do you think I can remember that now?? Absolutely not. In other news, IT’S FRIDAY! OF A 3-DAY WEEKEND! And it’s HOT. We’ve had a really lovely spring, dry and on the cool side for the most

Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ June 15, 2022

I’ve mostly worn these mustard linen pants with with the white linen button-down or the navy-and-white striped tee with the (this) blue chambray top. But once again, two things wound up in my line of sight at the same time (shirt and pants) and I went OH. Huh. Hmm. It’s a LITTLE

It’s Just a Break: BTS Update and Thoughts

I know not everyone is in the BTS lane but this turned into WORLD NEWS (??) yesterday, so maybe you’ve heard…and a couple people have messaged me asking if I’m okay, ha ha. Which is lovely and thoughtful, but yes, I’m essentially okay. So BTS had their annual Festa dinner Monday night

Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ June 13, 2022

IT. WAS. A. DAY. Well, a morning. But…thank goodness I wore something easy breezy! The Invisible Black Dress still earnings its keep. The chartruese-that-looks-yellow-on-camera button-down here for Year Two. Sneakers (shocker). Speaking of Bettye Who Only Wears Sneakers These Days, I HAVE been looking for a very specific mythical creature called Fabric

Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ June 8, 2022

Stripey Easter Egg Day. Or something. No interviews today so I got to go back to the normal uniform 🙂 Things are piling up again – it’s a short work week for me, and there have been a couple extra evening things this week and I’m feeling behind again ARGH. I’m feeling

Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ June 7, 2022

It is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to not twirl swirl swish or sway in this dress. It CAN. NOT. BE. DONE. Another interview, another gussied up day (don’t look at the dirty white sneakers), ha ha. This was my new favorite color combination last year and I still love it. I love the green

Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ June 6, 2022

I had to clean up a bit for an (incoming) interview today – I may have a new office partner soon, woohoo! I liked today’s applicant, I got a good vibe. ANYWAY. I put on a shirt with ruffles. Ha. That’s my version of “dressing up” these days. I usually wear this

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

Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ May 20, 2022

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
