Vintage Style Clothing

I love the vintage style clothing that is popular. I think they really flatter women with curves, not surprised since the average sized women was an 12 and not an 6, the size that the media wants us to believe we should be. I am glad to see that being plus sized and curvy is acceptable, but I do think it gives people a reason to neglect their health.

I know that I will probably always be on the plus size, I am currently trying to lose weight for health reason, although I admit, their is some vanity involved, I want to look good. Yet am so happy to see designers stepping up and moving large woman pass moo-moos and stretch clothing. Thank you, thank you.

Here are some vintage clothing from Unique Vintage. Enjoy.

These next outfits are from Pin Up Girl Clothing. I love their clothes. Enjoy.

Dresses I Covet from the Avenue

While I managed to get some good deals when I bought some things from the Avenue today. I am on a budget and needed to get more bang for my bucks.

The other thing is that I don't want to do a lot of shopping until the fall when hopefully I will have lost some more weight. I am hoping to lose 30lbs by October. That's about 10lbs a month and should be doable.

Here are some dresses from the Avenue that I would love to have:

$78.00

$88.00

$88.00

$88.00

$88.00

Well I think 5 is enough,  you get the idea.

I know I said dresses, but I love this junpsuit.

$49.99 on Sale

Backyard BBQ, Birthday and Slimkicker

Saturday I attended my neighbors backyard BBQ. I fully intended to take some pictures of my outfit and the people there. To be honest, I got there the party had already started and I started partying. The thought of taking pictures didn't cross my mind.

I have to say that I had a great time. I have gotten older and do not party as much. Seems that enjoys myself drains my energy quite a bit. I can hang all night, but it just takes me while to recover. I also have a policy of not drinking for 420ing during the school year. This was my first venture in those areas this summer and can't hang like I used to, not at all.


July 2nd was my birthday and my goal is to overhaul my life by next birthday when I turn 45. Sometimes it is hard to believe that I am 44 already, almost half a century old. When I was younger in my teens and twenties, I never thought I would get this old and really didn't have a plan for getting older. Then in my thirties I started raising my brothers two boys and I had not time to think about getting older. Now they are almost grown and I am starting to think about what I want for my life and how I am going to about achieving it.

Ok, so I came across this online program Slimkicker and I am going to give it a try. You set your weight loss goal, track eating and exercise habits. What I really like about it is the challenges they have like:

• No sodas for 7 days
• Doing squats for 7 days
• No snacks after dinner
• Replace juice with tea

You get points for checking in and doing the challenge and then you get rewarded for finishing the challenge. You also choose a reward that you are going to give yourself when you finish the challenge and upload a picture of the reward as a reminder.

Check it out, if you decide to join, let me know so that we can friend and encourage one another.

I will probably always be a plus sized girl, I am kinda built that way, broad with big busts. I just want to be a smaller healthier version of the RoBUST girl that I am.

Well I was going to put up two YouTube videos but couldn't figure out to embed them. Wouldn't work and I honestly don't feel like trying to figure it out.
