Confession: This week’s Five Take had me really, really wanting to title the post “Buy, Buy Birdie” (as in Bye, Bye Birdie). I thought it was hilarious. Sometimes I shock myself at ...
As I mentioned in my last post, this week I am catching up on the various Five Take themes I missed, and one of those was stripes. I wear stripes pretty often, especially horizontal stripes. I honest...
I wanted to say thank you to every one who commented on my last post. Your encouraging and loving words help me so much, and I’ll respond individually very soon! A couple weeks ago, the Five Ta...
“I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.” ― Hafez When I first started reading fat fashion and/or acceptance blogs, I thought that these wo...
This week’s Five Take theme is nautical, and it seems really fitting since the weather is getting warm enough that everyone around here is getting their boats out on their initial runs and swee...
I have officially passed my graduate project! Woot! I still have a couple weeks of work before graduation, but the pressure is off. It’s thrilling and scary all at the same time. I went straigh...
Helllllllllllooooooo! It’s been a busy couple of weeks here. I traveled to Boston for the PCA conference and did a presentation about the television series Huge. I got to meet a lot of fabulous...
Hello!! I’ve missed posting, tweeting, and chatting with all of you. I’ve been busy getting over nasty allergy/sinus stuff and pushing through the final stages of my graduate project. Bei...
Today was one of my last free days for the next few weeks, so my mom and I decided to make use of the sunny weather and go to lunch, the movies, and shopping. Knowing that I have to finalize my gradu...
This week’s theme for Five Take is “casual OOTD”, and I found it kind of difficult because I consider most of my outfits casual. Since I want Five Take to be a little different than...
One of my favorite looks that I’ve seen people wearing lately is a chambray top with denim bottoms. Sometimes the two shades of the items are very close and other times very distinctive, and I ...
This week’s Five Take theme was channeling a movie character, and since I failed majorly at the 1990′s theme last week, I decided to pick a 90′s movie. I seriously spent hours looki...
The past couple of weeks of life have been a lot of stressful, a bit emotional, and at times overwhelming, so I was really happy (and lucky) that I had already planned a little trip with my sister to...
The lovely people over at Penningtons sent me a trench coat from their new spring arrivals, and since last week it was finally hitting spring-ish weather, I decided to take it out for a stroll. When ...
Natalie over at XL as Life posted a “11 Things” meme, and her answers were so cute that I figured I’d do it myself. I love that these things get us to talk about little details of o...
Becky, Gina, Claire, Nicole and I had the Five Take theme of polka dots this week. I was super excited about it because I love the trend, but then I looked in my closet and I only had 3 items: a purs...
I can remember pretty vividly being a teenager and shopping at Target with my friends. I pretty much bought any item that would fit me in the junior’s section because I just wanted to be able t...
I tend to think about my outfits through a particular item I want to wear. As my outfit comes together, I tend to think of different colors, accessories, shapes that make that item stand out, so I re...
Almost a year ago I had asked readers to help me re-style a couple outfits (here) because I felt like my first take on them felt incomplete. Well, it’s time for you all to get your suggestions ...
Monday is my day to hang out at the local coffee shop, have some warm and yummy drinks, and work on my school projects. Today I decided to do more than my usual sloppy look and grabbed for a more coz...
Hey everyone! I recently did a sweep of my closet and was pretty disgusted with the amount of items with tags still on them or barely used. I decided these pieces need to go to new homes where they w...
Hello, hello! It’s Five Take time again, and this week Nicole, Gina, Becky, Claire and I are taking on the theme of Tribal! I promise that I wear clothing more often than Five Take, but I’...
The Five Take group (Nicole, Becky, Claire, Gina, and I) are taking on the theme of Valentine’s day this week, and I was actually kind of excited to have a good excuse to bring out my red color...
Some of you have expressed that you’d like to see more about what I’m doing when I’m mixing fat acceptance and fat bodies with my academic work, and it feels like the natural progre...
What’s this? I’m actually on time for Five Take?! Yes! I’m shocked too . This week the Five Take group (Nicole, Becky, Gina, and Claire) was challenged to do a party dress outfit. T...
The day after my last post my mom had a health scare, and I was the only one home to call the ambulance and such. Needless to say, the 24 hours after that moment were stressful, and we were all wrapp...
As I mentioned in my last brand spotlight post, blogging opened up an entirely new world (literally) of fashion stores to buy from, and one of my absolute favorites is Simply Be (sizes 14-32Uk or 10-...
I apologize for showing up late to the Five Take party! For any new faces, Five Take is where Becky, Gina, Nicole, Claire and I do our “take” on a particular theme to see the variety of w...
Today I presented at my first academic conference ever. It’s a pretty intimidating process: submitting your work, getting feedback and accepted or rejected, preparing for the actual presentatio...
Every once in awhile I like to leave the house and pretend that I’m much more edgier than I really am. What always cracks me up is that even my attempts to be edgy or “rocker” are s...
