Voting Day!

Today is voting day, which means a cute outfit is needed.  I decided on some bright colors to make this dreary weather go away.

I am really happy with this sweater.  It's warm without being too hot or itchy.  Also, the buttons don't pull (thank god!).  It's the Charter sweater in blackberry from Modcloth.  Actually, now that I'm looking, almost my whole outfit is from Modcloth!

I got this dress during a ridiculous sale.  I think it was originally 100+ and I got it for under $30.  The catch - they only had a 3x left.  So it's a bit big for me.  If anyone has a 2x or 1x and wants to trade, please let me know!  But I just couldn't resist the price for the gorgeous fruit salad I get wear whenever I want.

 The whole really came together beautifully.  Let's hope the voting results do the same!!!

Fall is here!!!

I can't explain in words how much I love fall.  It's always been my favorite season.  But this year it's even better because I have a home with the gq, two kittens, and a brand new start.

In honor of that, I thought I'd try something that I never do.  Shorts and tights!

I picked an autumnal color for the tights, since the leaves are changing and I want to revel in it.  It's a bit chilly, so I need the jacket.

I like the way the cropped jacket shows off my hips!

Plus, for fun, here's a Charlie model shot <3 She kind of goes with my outfit.

Work It Out

I am an active fat girl.  I used to run a lot, but since injuring my back I am sticking to less intense exercises.  I have a Wii Fit (old school, I know) and I'm really into doing yoga/strength training.  I do cardio as well when I feel like it.

Anyway, if you're going to work out you need some duds to work it out in.  This is a workout outfit post!

I personally like capris as opposed to shorts or pants.  Shorts lead to chub rub (especially with cardio) and pants are always too hot for me!  I like my bottoms to be tight and breathable (insert queer pun here).

I got these capris at Lane Bryant for way on sale.  But you can find good work out bottoms other places as well.  You could even use leggings if you wanted a more cost effective option.

My shirt is actually a Michael Sam jersey.  No, this is not because I care about football or the Rams.  It's because Michael Sam is the first openly gay NFL player, and I wanted to support him by buying a jersey.  Plus it's soft and super nice to sweat in.

To be honest, most of the time during work outs I end up taking my shirt off anyway.  That's where a cute sports bra/top thing comes in handy!

Technically this top is from the straight sizes (I'm wearing a large) at Forever 21.  But I worked some fat girl magic and it's a perfect top for work outs!  Plus it's Keith Harring.  

Overall it doesn't really matter what you wear when you work out.  Just wear something comfortable and that works for you.
