Etsy Pulls

Lately, I've been scouring vintage/thrift shops with my best lady, Frankie, while she gathers goods for her Etsy shop (you can see it here...she's only got 1 left right now! Her stuff goes quick).  After a particularly submerging weekend in Palm Springs, I have the vintage bug.  I've been dreaming of confetti lucite, bakelite dominos, and drunk pink elephants. So, I have been thinking of ways to interpret this into my blog...cue the greatest vintage shop in the world: Etsy.  Here are some of my current favorite plus size clothing pieces on Etsy right now (click on the image to go to the ordering page).

OOTD: Leopard Lady

I really love a leopard print. This cami from Forever 21 combines my love of leopard and sheer blouses in one perfect summer top. Their sizing can be very small + inconsistent, but this one fits great, despite the fact that I traditionally wear a 4X top. These shoes are also a new fav! I've been looking for a long time for a cutesy black flat that is amazingly comfortable. My wife showed me these beauties at Target for just $17.99 and they proved to be just the thing.

I first saw this collar on a adorable waitress at a Champagne bar in Pasadena. It was so adorable and unique I commented on it more than once. Flash forward to a few weeks later...I found it! Karmaloop has several version of this collar by Dimepiece Designs. Anyways, I'm so in love with it!

When I first heard that Forever 21 was going to carry plus sizes, I was super excited. Skip to a few days later when I heard that 2X was the max size they would carry. Bummer. Well, I guess that had great success and now most items go up to 3X and the cuts are savvy enough that I, a 4X, can wear many different pieces. Here are a few things that I've purchased and <3ed...I can't recommend them enough (I mean, seriously...$12 leopard skirt??)

Betsey Johnson Shopping Trip!

I recently popped into Betsey Johnson's Melrose location, with my partner in crime Ms Frankie Sin. Not only was it filled with glorious Betsey items, but many of those items were 30% off! One of those items was this gorgeous cape below:



I got it in pink, of course! And since the sale was on and poppin'...these gloves too!




And at the counter: these hot socks!

There were so many fabulous hats, scarves, and gloves...it was hard to choose!! For my personal style, I find it works best if I keep to well cut, black clothing and go crazy with the accessories! It makes me feel chic AND like I've got limitless possibilities. What do you prefer: crazy clothing or crazy accessories?
