Cartoons are not just for Saturday mornings!!

I love this totally righteous cartoon print fabric. I was over the moon to come across the skater skirt at http://www.newlook.com. I ordered it as soon as I saw it. I have never ordered from New Look before, but have looked at their page a bunch of times. This skirt was just the push I needed to take the plunge. Over all very happy with my order from them. Reasonable shipping, arrived fast to Canada and the product is good quality. I will order from them again for sure.
 This fashion choice is a  little odd for me because I’m not a color kind of girl. I have been trying very hard to change that. I figure if I'm going to have glow in the dark hair might as well go all the way.

What is the first thing a girl does when she buys a totally rad cartoon print skirt? Post a link to it of course!! In my excitement I linked  my amazing new find in a Facebook group I'm part of called FaTtoo Anonymous   my friend Lisa responded with a link to a dress in the same fabric! SCORE! Now there were two amazing pieces for me to rock!! I picked the dress up at http://yoursclothing.com. Other pieces with this fabric have started popping up. http://www.us.asos.com now offers a dress in a body con style.

I’m wearing a size 24 in the dress and 26 in the skirt. The fabric is really amazing, thick and has a nice stretch. I really like the way it falls. I chose to wear black with both the skirt and dress because I really wanted to the cartoon to just pop. Can't wait for fall when I can throw on a leather jacket and a bright colored scarf and roll it this way. I also have been dreaming of sky blue tights to add.

I'm doing a blog!! Woot Woot! This is something I have wanted to do for quite sometime but honestly have been kinda scared of. I love fashion and loving dressing up so obviously the thought of showing that off to others....Totally awesome! Writing about myself and fashion...Not so awesome. I don't see myself as a very good writer but screw it. Not everything we do is going to be easy and it's probably good to go outside of our comfort zone now and again. That is what I have been trying to do the last year or so with fashion. I'm currently pulling off stuff I never thought I could and it feels great. It also feels truly amazing to hear what other girls built like me think of my fashion sense. 
My style steams a lot  from my 80's roots. I guess old habits die hard for this ex batcaver. Good thing many of the current styles are retro throw backs. Can you says Leggings, Leggings, Leggings!! I'm obsessed. I find myself surfing daily to find that new rad pair I just can't live without. Leggings work perfect for me because I have less than stellar legs and let's be honest they help with the horrid inner thigh chub rub. The leggings I'm wearing the in the picture above are from Debs. I have found that Debs are carrying tons of cute leggings this year. I'm a size 26/28 on the bottom and find their size 3X fits me great. I have had trouble getting leggings to fit perfect over the years. I suffer from wide hips/thighs and narrowish calfs and ankles. My leg is kinda shaped like a big meaty chicken drum stick. You know how you use to say skinny girls had chicken legs will this fat girl is also sporting a pair. I mostly try to wear a skirt over my leggings because of this. It's what is comfortable for me now. Something that might change in the near future as I get more adventurous. I have wanted to try wearing a pair of shorts over leggings for sometime but have been afraid. I use to rock this style back in the day and hope to pull it off again. Another 80's style I'm super happy has returned...I'm going to date myself by saying this but peter pan get away boots!!! Love them! I'm a boots kinda girl..Doc's, army, knee high, thigh high, ankle, whatever! To me a girl in a pair of boots will always rock the casbah. Oh and last but not least lace. I love seeing lace returning. Lace was always a staple for me when trying to stay covered but cool. For years I would not show my arms and shrugs were not even an option. I don't think they hit the fashion world until the late 90's. Lace was the way to go for any dark doll who wanted to stay covered but look oh so spooky and goth. So there we have it leggings, boots and lace...Love them all. Excited they are all back with the 80's surge.
