OOTD - On the stair edition 2020

I just have the worst luck with Jeans! Actually regardless of what size you are, the perfect pair of jeans are notoriously hard to find. These tapered Boyfriend jeans i wanted to try, as my usual go to of the ASOS Ridley jeans was the only style i had purchased.

Ordered 2 sizes 24 & 26- 24 was a no, so 26 seemed ok- with a lil room to spare, a few days later after washing, the room to spare some how became too much. I couldnt figure out, was i bloated or did the jeans loosen in the wash? Either way i was in too deep with these to be able to return them.

For now my solution has been to pull one side of the front over the other, essentially wrapping over the button area to clinch the waist in and securing with a safety pin. Not convenient but the guilt of spending almost $90.00 on something that would just be tossed away is like flushing money down the toilet - I need to make these work!

If possible- and if it doesn't cost the earth, i could take these to get altered, possibly get the waist and legs brought in & if theres any solution for that gap above the butt -where the jeans dont close against your back.
You know where you could look down and see my undies in a standing position, that massive platform like gap,
am i the only one?

ok, first world problems, ill let this be

Grandma Yetta

The easiest xmas gifts you can get me is one that pulls on those nostalgia strings. Case in point- printed tees with various images of characters from fav childhood tv shows. Grandma Yetta (from The Nanny, for those under 20) well shes big pimpin, so this image of her - LOOOOVE! 

Only hope some of her swagger rubs off on me

Topped with a Beret

Its winter, instead of the usual beanie, why not a Beret? A nod to the awesomeness that is Jazzmyne Robbins -if you dont know her - google her - you wont be disappointed. She drips inspo & beams boss bitch vibes - i cant help but fan girl her & her Beret collection.

My New Silent Bob Jacket

If you are a fan of Kevin Smith and his Character, Silent Bob, then you know his iconic over-sized Green (& Black) jacket. For me, I love Olive Green tones and maybe its a subtle influence of this character that when it comes to jackets, mine need to be tent size. This does however make me look like a prime suspect for shop lifting, so it feels a little weird exiting stores lately and been given the second look from staff & security. 

Apart from that, its probably the only piece in my closet that has a name 'Silent Bob' (well actually this is Silent Bob the 2nd, Silent Bob the 1st is my other older and much loved jacket that has seen better days). Either way, its a nod to a character, writer, director, pod caster and all round good human Kevin Smith- LOVE THAT MAN!

With that been said, its kind of appropriate that of all places i find this jacket but in the Men's clothing section. Getting anything over 3XL is difficult with woman's ranges as you're already at the end of that size scale (NZ 20-24). With plus size men, although they too feel limited in variety, their sizing goes beyond the set limitations we see in woman's clothing. So if you want that -over-sized item when you are over-sized, look past the marketing of 'Male' clothing to its potential of it being Unisex or 'Yoink, fucking mine now!'

Feeling a lil Blue

Wow 2019, its almost half way through the year and Ive only just started to get back on the bloggy-blog.

2018, wasn't a good year, i shouldn't say it was all bad but, it was very testing.

If i could summarize or smack a slogan on this bitch, it was the year of LOSING!  

I could ramble on and on but in-hindsight most of my 'issues' were really some bullshit first world problems. 

In reflection what i had lost, was perspective.

So i took some time off, tried to get out of living in my own head. Got on that Netflix buzz, Marie Kondo my closet, painted walls, completely renovated our kitchen- which was well over due but most importantly spend time with friends and family. As much as i felt like presence with loved ones was self serving, what i forgot was time with others is seldom a selfish act. I too could also serve to support another, offer an ear to listen to, a shoulder to cry on, a hug to feel love and a dirty joke to laugh at.

For now ill leave with some literal Blue inspo, bye bye Summer!

Do the Bart Man!

 Simpsons X Asos, 

As a fan of one of the most famous tv families, this collection absolutely pulled on those nostalgia strings.

Out of the collection, this jumuper was my fave piece, bright, bold and fun. Its so rare to find plus size clothes that scream out for attention, whether its through bright colours or bold prints.

Whether i look like Big Birds long lost child or Teletubbies Laa-Laa from a distance, i know that this jumper can only make you smile.
