Happy BELATED New Year!

Happy New Year!

Sorry that it’s late. I’ve been busy being sick with a fever and prepping the blog for it’s new re-opening! I’ve finally decided on what I am doing with this thing: It’s going to focus on fashion (and whatever falls under it), my life and my adventures, and cooking! Hahahaha!! Maybe some other things, but this is the main focus until I get a firm foundation for this site which has been in the works for a number of years considering I couldn’t make up my mind. But, now that I have made it up, I plan to stick to it by posting at least every two weeks since every week doesn’t seem to work for me.

So, this being the first post and all, let’s tackle Sunday’s outfit and use that as my first fashion post! Is anyone excited, or is it just me?

This is what I wore to church Sunday (the 12th). Nothing fancy… I guess? I’ve seen people wear fancier articles of clothing to church than this. I guess I’m just the type for simple things that have a little BAM! to them. (Just a little.) My outfit yesterday consisted of…

• A white sweater with a two-tone, beaded collar (it can come off!) by nicole by Nicole Miller,
• a snakeskin print pencil skirt by Worthington,
• and brown tights by hue. I LOVE COLOURED TIGHTS! <3

I wore just a plain pair of black flats with a bow on them since they were the only neutral coloured pair of flats that I had. Accessory wise, I didn’t do much since the collar had more bling than I would usually wear! I kept everything natural and simple—including my hair even though my first thought Sunday morning (cue Maroon 5) was to curl it. I’m glad I kept it straight so that the drama would be kept on the collar, however, waves certainly would have made it fun and cute!

See what I mean? This collar has some serious bling on it. I love how it can be taken off so you have a normal white sweater (is it called “jumper” in the UK? I’ve been wondering that for a while now…). It’s a soft, comfy, and fashionably flexible sweater that I may or may not have plucked from my mum’s closet… ^o^ It was $44 at the time it was purchased, but I think it’s now down to $29.97? If you click the link in the list, I think that’s what it’s price is now. Mum got it at the retail price since it was the last and only one in her size that was found.

Hey, I guess you gotta do what you gotta do when you have a size that can be hard to find at times!

Here you can see the detail in the skirt. Normally, I’m not one for snake skin print or snake skin anything in fashion because, for some odd reason, it makes my skin crawl. But, at a clearance price of $1.97 (yes, two dollars), I wasn’t going to pass it up! For us curvy girls and plus size as well, a pencil skirt is a go-to skirt for us since it can accentuate what we’ve got. A $2 pencil skirt with a nice, somewhat mettalic bronze (you can’t tell in the photo, though) pattern on it was definitely a steal—so much so that Mummy dearest already had one in her closet. (We wore our skirts the same day. I get that I’m 20-soon-to-be-21, but it’s fun to match with a loved one…so long as it’s not the whole outfit? The whole outfit is cute when you’re a kid, but when you’re older it feels somewhat odd since you’re trying to find your own sense of fashion. I feel that that’s safe to say, don’t you? 

Well, that’s it for now, everyone! I hope you enjoyed  my wee fashion post—most especially, my first post of the new year and new blog. Hopefully, I’ll have more and more to come extremely soon. I might be jinxing myself, but I’m determined to keep this up.
