As a plus size woman, my experience with clothing has largely taken place outside of my comfort zone—and usually not in a good way. I used to have to fight and squeeze to fit into the clothing I loved, which made me feel super uncomfortable and unworthy. But now, I willingly play outside of my comfort zone a lot more since there are now so many different accessible styles of plus size clothing.

When you wear sweatpants 24/7 for three months straight, the thought of putting on jeans is frightening. Not only did I wonder if my favorite jeans would still fit, but I also wondered if I would ever be able to go back to wearing jeans. However, since I have made the pledge to dress up and do my makeup at least once a week, I decided that I would wear jeans for my next dress-up day.

I have been craving simple, cozy outfits lately. Maybe it’s the weather or the fact that I have been on-the-go nonstop since early January. I just haven’t really been into creating complicated looks.

This is such a cool moment for me. I never ever thought that I would be able to shop with my friends (who are thin) at Anthropologie. We used to spend entire Saturdays in the store shopping and lounging—in the Chicago Avenue store’s home section. While my friends would shop, I would just tag along because at the time, Anthropologie didn’t carry plus sizes. However, as you may know, Anthro has expanded its sizing.

Not only am I excited that I can now shop with my friends when we go into Anthropologie, but I am also looking forward to expanding my style with the brand’s eclectic mix of bohemian chic garments.

In the winter, you will most likely catch me in a sweater and some jeans. It’s an easy go-to look that’s comfortable and adaptable.

When I wear these casual looks, I try to style garments that have extra special detail. For example, I love the see-through mesh stripes in this When the Smoke Clears Top from Chic Soul. It gives the outfit some depth, and I love anything that shows a little bit of skin.

Do you ever have those days that you look back on and wish you could live in forever? Well, this was one of those days. Terry and I met up with his little brother for breakfast downtown, and neither of us had any other plans so we just let the day take us wherever. It was a brisk 68 degrees, and the temp was giving me all the inspiration I needed to wear my first look of the fall season.
