MUSE :Klerlie Raymond

So I am starting a new series called Muse cause I am sure sooner than later you guys will get tired of seeing my face lol! Basically I will be showcasing bloggers, designers, pop culture icons, the girl on the street, anyone who I feel has inspired me. 

So I first came across K. on Lookbook and was immediately enthralled. I quickly checked to see if she had a blog unfortunately she didnt (I can totally understand why). 

For the most part I follow quite a few Bloggers some mainstream others not so much but I tend to idolize the ones that are adventurous e.g. the vintage virgin.

 I love people who don't quite sing to everyone's tune and this is very rare in the full figured world. With all that said I bring you Kerlie Raymond.

I'd say her style is quite Eclectic its a  mish mash of California Chic ( flower child meets edgy meets beach babe) with a  hint of Now( Modern,trendy) and a healthy dose of Vintage

So I asked K, three questions 
1. What does your style say about you? My style says whatever and whoever I am feeling that day.

2.Who is your style/fashion muse/inspiration? My style inspiration is June Ambrose. Her style is phenomenal. 

3. If you can only choose one item to wear every single day for the next year, what would it be?The one item I would choose to wear everyday for the next year is confidence, without it no outfit is complete. =]

K. I would buy a ticket to wherever you are if you would let me raid your closet!!

Do you guys like K's style as much as I do
If you do make sure you show her some love on lookbook tell her SUPPLECHIC sent you
P.S As you can tell K. loves her high waist-ed denim shorts and she is actually the one who inspired me to do my High waist-ed cut offs vid (one of my most watched) 
K. thank you for being an awesome sport

BFSC: ISLAND STATE OF MIND

I am in serious need of a vacation,since that is a long way off I will console my self by dressing like I am on vacation. I am really having a citrus moment,I have been graduating towards colors like chartreuse/citron.I was so happy when I scored this 100% silk skirt (brand new)while thrift-ing it was definitely my score of the summer.

Earring : F21  Bustier : DIY  Skirt : Thrift Shoes : Shop Hallelu

So happy that I have only three more pieces to cross off my BFSC list. I actually made this top three years ago when I was desperately on the hunt for a cropped bustier but couldn't find one that had big enough cups. I have to say I was definitely out of my comfort zone with this outfit cause typically when I wear items like this I usually, have to have a jacket or cover-up. Strapless anything (without outerwear) is a no-go area for me because of a combination of reasons my arms and bust. Wearing strapless tops especially when you are busty can be tricky finding the proper bra is key. Thankfully stores like Lane Bryant and torrid and brands like Fig-leaves, Just My Size and Bare Necessities are listening.   

P.S I have learned that the key to wearing crop tops when you are plus size is all about what you wear on the bottom 

hint:"high waisted"

HEAT WAVE: MY JOURNEY FROM DAY TO NIGHT (BFSC)

Hello dolls!! it feels good to know I am not talking to my self if you are new to our family I just want to welcome you!

I dont know about where you live but we are paying for our mild winter where I live with daily 100+ degree weather, now I know for some folks this is the norm but here it is not.

  

Anyway back to the matter at hand its hot so what to wear! 

over the last couple of years I have started to learn to be comfortable with my body but as I stated in the previous post it took me some time and one hangup that I still struggle with are my arms which I inherited, so I usually shy away from anything sleeveless and would default to three quarter sleeves. However as the temperature rises I have had to damn my hangups and am now wearing what will keep me as sane/cool as possible.

I spotted this mint green SLEEVELESS top at H&m for $12 I was so excited cause at that time I was having a MINT moment. I decided to pair it with this cute BODY-CON skirt from forever and.......

Shirt : H&M Skirt/Bracelets/Sunglasses/Necklace/shoes/Bag : F21

Sometimes I marvel at the fact that I was born and partially raised in a tropical climate ( west Africa) because I really hate heat=sweat! I am quite miserable when I am hot lol!

Anywho as I was looking at my posts I notice a trend( lol like I have that many posts)most of my outfit posts have been on the casual side (heel-less) and to be quiet honest you will get a lot more of that from me.

 So I decided to do a day to "night" post, if you are familiar with my YOUTUBE channel you will know this is one of my favorite thing to do, wear one thing multiple ways.I am going to be quiet now lol! and if you took the time to read all of this give yourself a pat on the back.

 So ladies how do you feel about sleeves/less (even when its not flattering) yay or nay ?

Tank : J.S.  Bag/Ring : H&M  Necklace : Charlotte Russe  Shoes : Vince Camuto

P.S I know their is all this controversy about spanx/shape-wear/girdles but I am for them, I believe they give your clothing the ideal framework to sit on and honestly if you've had a child it keeps the under belly under control.

BFSC:BABY NEON AND PRINT ( HIGH WAISTED)

I am so happy to have 3 items crossed of my BFSC list, I am still trying to come up with a strategic plan to get all the posts in by the 31st lol! So right now my focus is on finishing the challenge,I know it may seem like I have tunnel vision but I promise to post other content once the challenge is over.

When I spotted these scarf print pants at Target I did a double take.My love for palazzo pants has been growing and I had been seriously lusting for the palazzo pants at Zara, but unfortunately they have limited sizing.

Similarly my love for neon has increased exponentially.I spotted both pieces during a trip to target and I knew they would make a perfect combination. 

Tee, Pants and Sandals: Target  clutch:Vintage Watch: Micheal Kors  

Necklaces: Forever21, Asos  Rings and Bracelets: Forever21 and Charlotte  Russe

Target is one of my favorite places to shop because they are a wonderful source for trendy inexpensive pieces,they go up to 3x in straight sizes, they have a plus size section and extended shoe sizes.
P.S Thanks to Chanelfiles I have added additional(Target)items  to my never ending list of wants Lord help me!

BFSC:(SEQUINS) SHORT SHORTS!

I have amassed a mini arsenal of shorts and I wondered which pair to wear,I didn't want to do denim cut off's; had my eye on a printed pair at target but didn't buy them. 

Finally I decided on my scalloped sequin-esque shorts that I bought in the winter from F21+.I am more of an introvert so I really don't like things that bring attention to me so sequin during the day is a bit of a stretch for me.
  However for awhile now I have been intrigued by the thought of wearing them for day because they are definitely night time shorts and "not something I would normally wear" for day.

There was a time I wouldn't be caught dead in shorts because I didn't think I had the body for them, in my mind only girls/women who where a certain size could pull them off. 

I don't know when the change happened but slowly I stopped caring about what others thought of me (don't get me wrong sometimes I get an off day) and I decide to be free of sleeves and jeans in the Heat. 

Bag :thrift (get Similar HERE HERE HERE) Sandals : Rainbow Earrings : DIY

My message is wear what you want (as much as possible make sure the style favors your body type)forget about physical imperfections ( we are all imperfect in some way its just more apparent with some of us)ill say it again WEAR WHAT YOU WANT.

Tunic : H&M ( get similar HERE HERE) Shorts: F21+ (get similar HERE HERE HERE) 

If you have watched any of my vids on YOUTUBE you would know how much I adore multi-purpose clothing so I styled them for day tell me, how did I do. 

P.S we are having a ridunculous heat wave I guess we are paying for the mild winter, and all I want to do is stay in my temp controlled home, but I have about NINE items to knock of my BFSC list! and about 3 weeks to go.

BIG FAT SUMMER CHALLENGE: WEAR A MAXI

If you are curvy/plus-size/fat/full figured then I know that at one time or the other you have struggled with summer time attire.

So if you dont know what the Big Fat Summer Challenge is it is a challenge that requires us to wear certain items within a certain time frame (started by Jennifer of jasiferlionsclub )

The challenge is designed to get us to try other fashion alternatives as well as get us out of our comfort zone. 

Top: Forever21 Skirt: Forever21 Bag :Forever21 Sandals: Target Watch: Michael Kors 

For someone who loves fashion as much as I do I am usually very practical about what I buy, and also tend to buy classics. 

I really dislike spending money on trendy items for multiple reasons, but mostly because I have a pretty rigid budget and also because I thrift shop. Anyway I was on the look out for a chiffon maxi skirt; so when I spotted these bad boys in the non-plus section of Forever 21 my heart did a little dance.

P.S Just realized that I pretty much wore head to toe forever21
