I'm so behind on posts! This was my outfit on Thursday - I've been running around like crazy and didn't have time to post til now!
This vest from INC International Concepts Plus Size was a bit pricey but totally worth the money when I bought it last year. I've worn it everywhere from a bachelorette party to job interviews. This was my work outfit, and the first time I've work the vest open rather than buttoned. It's much more casual and I really like the way it looks! I thought it was going to hang too wide open and just look unflattering, but the tailoring of it gave shape even though it wasn't buttoned shut.
Though I live in leggings I generally don't do the leggings-as-pants thing by wearing them with shorter tops - I usually do a tunic that at LEAST will cover the bum. I was in a serious laundry emergency (aka, I havent done any in AGES), so I threw on these black ankle length leggings I picked up in JCPenney the other day. Surprisingly, I feel like my legs look rather good in this outfit! Yea, I may have some thunder thighs, but who cares? I love how the leggings look with flats, and I especially love the button up detail on the bottom of these. I like that it's on the back instead of the side, it's a little surprise for when you turn around ;)
I was running out the door so I kept it relatively simple with the accessories. My wrist is wrapped up in a combo of three bracelets. The beaded on is a long strand wrapped multiple times, and it has this cute shell loop closure. Then there's a leather band that looks like a belt buckle, and my favorite (though you can't really see it) is a gold chain link that's weaved with black leather - that's the three round snaps you see in the pic above.
My favorite though is this koi fish necklace. Isn't the detail on this gorgeous!
And of course the required Halloween pic:
We were a double rainbow!! "What does it meaaaaaaaaan?!" LOL! Excuse the bad quality, it was a BlackBerry pic. The top is a tunic from American Apparel that I sewed rainbow strips of fabric to. The Green E was a lazy bum and didn't make hers in time, so I improvised and sewed long strips of color to the neckline of her top. I actually like it better than mine! The tunic was uber short, but oh well, I had some fierce tights on!
Cute right! I layered these awesome black textured tights over a bright pair of pink ones. I liked the tights so much I'm planning to wear them with a real outfit, not just with my costume!
