Secrets

 

They tell us from the time we're young

To hide the things that we don't like about ourselves

Inside ourselves

I know I'm not the only one

Who spent so long attempting to be someone else

Well I'm over it.

You know that ridiculously catchy song called Secrets? I love it. It's so uplifting, I just have to play it every morning when I get ready for school / work / everyday life. Anyways! I love Seattle / Hate Seattle. It's amazing, there's a spot our on the piers that not only view the amazing Pudget Sound, but also the Seattle Skyline! :-) Super excited about what's to come! ESPECIALLY ALL THE FALL OUTFITS I AM ABOUT TO DO, plus all the pretty lights are coming out in Seattle...ugh there is just so much going on!

One thing before we go to the outfits.

You are beautiful. Please don't forget it. Whether you're 100 pounds or 300 pounds, you as a woman are an incredible gift and I believe everyone is beautiful.

SWEATER; Fine Knit Sweater @ H&M (Similar)

Who doesn't love a slouchy sweater? I mean come on -- It's Fall! But for us plus sized ladies, finding something slouchy that doesn't make us look like a giant ball or too boxy, It's hard! I am actually very impressed at the selection H&M has for sweaters. They have LOTS. With trending colors too...and decently priced. :) 

BOTTOM; Basic Leggings @ Willow & Clay (Similar)

AAAAAHHHHH!!!! THESE LEGGINGS. I found them, the perfect basic leggings. THEY HAVE like these side bands that hold the side muffin back. It is SO figure flattering it's not even funny. Yes, they were a little pricey (I spent $30 on mine at Nordstrom Rack). They're amazing though, seriously well worth the buy.

BEANIE; Girly @ shopsimplychic.com (Coming Soon)

I really. really. like hats , and I don't know if you know this, but my hair...will fight me everyday with stupid hats. I found a Pom Pom beanie at work that I am absolutely in LOOOOVE with. When we put it up online I shall put the link there for you so you can grab one too. It's really cute, and actually pretty comfy. Oh, by the way, Pom Pom Beanies are SUPER trendy right now, so I would grab one if you find one you like!

SHOES; Nike Air Max 1 Cutout Premium Sneakers @ Barneys (Here)

I have a Nike problem, but no - no let me explain why I am allowed to have a Nike problem. I am a heavy girl, they're extremely comfortable. They have great traction, which you need going up and down these hills in Seattle, cause I have had a few spills in Seattle because of no traction. PLUS Nike just has cute shoes! Ugh, I love them so much.

JACKET; Faux Leather Moto Jacket @ Aeropostale (Here)

Ladies. Look everywhere, there will be things that surprises at places you least expect it. Aeropostale? I am 20 years old -- We do not shop there. But I have had this leather jacket for almost a year, and I just peeked in...and then BAM! With all their crazy coupons and sales I paid like $20 for this amazing jacket. The quilted pattern is so unique and super cute. I try to put a zip up hoodie underneath it though for extra warmth because it's kind of thin.

PHONE CASE; I Donut Care @ Empirenvy (Here)

All about that adorable phone cases! Found a pretty unique phone company called Empirenvy, and I have to say, the phone cases they have crack me up! From inspirational quotes to things that make you do a double take, I love the patterns and images they have. ALSO, their plastic is super hard, it doesn't feel cheap at all. For the price, I think it's a great product.
