 "That girl's got roaches in her hair!"

  

 
 Recently I blogged about Candy Strike Teenage Jezebel; you can find the details about the collection here.

The second item I purchased from Teenage Jezebel was the Tracy Roach Dress. I totally love designer Elizabeth Denneau's interpretation of Turnblads gown. This dress is made of stretch scuba knit and is a tea length. It's such a comfortable dress to wear, the fabric is a dream. The best part about the dress is the adorable heart headed screen printed roaches adorning the bottom. This dress is available from size 2-28; it can be custom sized by dropping Candy Strike a quick email. For some added flair I chose to add a petticoat under my dress . The dress could easily be worn without one. The petticoat I picked up at Sweet Echo Plus.  You can find  more details about Sweet Echos petticoats here.  I completed my hair hop, bugged out look by adding  Shoes and Socks from ModCloth and a Teenage Jezebel necklace that I crafted.  

 

 

Take another peep at my photos and you will find this amazing  Hairspary Double Sided Clutch  with Denneau's Divine as Edna art. This rad bag is available in a limited quantity so grab one up quick. The second side of the clutch features Tracy Big Blonde and Beautiful. This large water resistant bag it perfect for a tablet or make-up.

I love feedback please leave a comment below and let me know what you thought of this post.

Keep Calm And Bikini At Any Size

*ATTENTION ALL BIKINI BABES*

I'm a woman on a mission!! I'm aiming to create a wonderful, inspiring, and enlightening post for my blog; a post full of women from all walks of life, of all shapes and sizes, wearing bikinis. I believe all bodies are beautiful and you should never be ashamed, or feel you should hide your imperfections, for any reason. As the greatest sex goddess of our time, Marilyn Monroe said: “Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” 

Help me show me show the world you can wear a bikini at any size. I am hoping to collect photos of 101 women in bikinis/fatkinis and would love if you could include a quote about how wearing the suit makes you feel. If I end up with less than 101, so be it, any number of beautiful inspiring women is fine by me! If you would like to be involved please send a good quality photo (sorry ladies no blurry phone pics) and your quote to.. Everydayislikehalloween@hotmail.com.

The deadline for submissions is Wednesday July 30th, 2014.


  Not sure, or have questions? Please Facebook message me, I would be happy to answer any questions you have and leave a comment below.

Alternative Plus Size Thrifting

For optimal viewing gratification please click and enjoy this video while perusing my post.

 

 

 

 

Our theme this month for Ahead of the Curve is Plus Size Thrifting.

This look was a total steal! From head to toe the whole outfit cost me $26.

The most expensive item in my look was my skirt, I picked it up recently at ASOS with a coupon and got it for $15. I picked up the shirt at Vaule Village for $4; Vaule Village is a  chain similar to Savers. 

When I got the shirt it was not a crop top, I decided to chop it in half to make my own crop top. Ya sure as heck can't beat a $4 crop top! I picked up the gloves on eBay for $2, and the hat as well for $5.

The boots came second hand from a friend and the necklace I crafted myself. 

I gave myself a $25 budget for this look and I think I did pretty fantastic only going over by $1. I would like to point out that three of the items were shipped and I still keep the look under $30!!!

Proving you don't need to spend a mint to dress fashion forward and look sass-a-licious!!

 My look for this months blog really took me out of my comfort zone. I've always been afraid to show my belly, let alone any of my midriff, but there is no hiding in a crop top. Wearing one shows my stretchmarks and I'm cool with that; having four children I've earned every one of them. I had my daughter, who is my photographer, take a photo of me from behind as well; I prepared myself to be horrified but I found  my back was interesting and pretty with rolls.  
Who knew:)
