Well this post was supposed to be an outfit post from my friends wedding which was meant to be a ten-ish year reunion of sorts, but I was quite disappointed with the dress I ordered I even ordered a backup dress and that was worse lol! I frantically went to the mall the morning of trying to find something FAIL! So I wore the dress anyway; I loved my shoes though so I guess that made up for it. I really cant complain either because it was all my fault for not trying on the dress until the night before the wedding. In leu of that here is a look from my "3 Ways to Wear a Band Tee" video on YouTube. This look features one of my summer favorites a white blazer. I paired it with these linen Asos pants to create a suit-ish look and added some edge with my Forever 21 Nirvana tee.

They say confidence is the best accessory do you agree is it the clothes or is it you that make the outfit?

I love the versatility of a kimono. 

It can be a blouse, jacket, dress and of course a cover up and if you know me you know that I live for multi function items.

Summer Recap : Full Figure Fashion Week, Rsschool Night, Curves Rock Weekend & Tumshowcase

me @supplechic and @naturallyfashionable 

 To start the summer of I took a day trip to New York for the "Curves at Sea" event during Full Figure Fashion Week . Unfortunately this year I couldnt do the whole week but I decided to go for the curves at sea event simply because I've wanted to go for this event but in the past it had always sold out; I had a great time seeing a bunch of my blogger boo's like the always flawless Naturallyfashionable and the wonderful peggy of Ontheqtrain. If by some fluke you havnt check out their blogs please do.

Beautiful jewelry displayed at the event from Kendra Scott be sure to look out for a GIVEAWAY!!

Next I was invited for summer school, I mean blogger school by rewardstyle; if you dont know about them and you are a blogger check them out here. I learned alot about how to make my blog better for my readers as well as my self. However I am a little peeved because I am an andriod user and they dont have some features available to us ( a rant for later). 

By the way follow me on Bloglovin and or sign up for Google friend connect so that you can stay tuned for an awesome giveaway curtsey of Kendra Scott.

After that was CurvesRockWeekend which happens in Baltimore. The event is a 4 day weekend focuses on women empowerment, building self-esteem, fitness, healthier lifestyle choices and of course FASHION. Again my blogger boo Naturallyfashionable was present as well as the beautiful Isoken of puskieswardbrobe this sister right here is a triple threat hair stylist , makeup artist as well as fashion designer  you can check her out on YouTube as well as buy her designs here if you like what you see make sure to tell her I sent you.

Lastly was Tumshowcase (The Urban Marketplace) it was a fun  indoor flee market type event with a lot of vendors from natural hair products, to ankara outfits, makeup, as well as awesome food. It was hosted be JadoreFashion one of the hardest working bloggers I've seen. All in all it was a great event perfect for people watching.

Citrus: Pink Dress and Orange Clutch

Click here to get a similar dress, shoes, and clutch or "SHOP THE POST" down below

There is something about hot pink on chocolate skin the color just seems to pop; thats one of the things that attracted me to this dress its pretty much a standard bodycon but the color makes it a show piece . I also like the fact that the dress is very simple which makes it very verstile. It can be dressed up or down and be tweaked to suit your personal style and its  actually the same dress I wore here.  I got it last summer for a steal from River Island. For this rendition of the dress I decided to colorblock subtly with my orange clutch and then tie the colors in the dress and clutch together with my floral sandals.

SHOP THE POST

Color blocking was all the rage a couple of years ago how do you feel about it now is it still CHIC?

Comfy Chic: Chambray Shirt and Midi Skirt

Click here to get a similar chambray, midi skirt and sandals or "SHOP THE POST" down below

I never used to understand when women would say that they start planing their outfit with their shoes. Until I noticed a direct correlation between my mood on a night out and my shoes. I found that when I wear my fancy shoes ( 5 inch pumps) that I  would spend the night looking for a seat. However when ever I wear comfy shoes/ carry flats the nights seemed to be more fun. Its  a constant dilemma for me when Im going out to decide if I want to be comfy or chic. That was until I rediscovered these cobalt platform sandals; I bought them over 2 years ago but never really wore them until recently. They feel like clouds compared  to my Choo's  so Im always trying to think of outfits that will go with them.

SHOP THE POST

So what goes through your mind when planing an outfit for a night out do you make practical choices or is it all about being chic.

So the last couple of days have been pretty mild compared to the last couple of weeks that where 90 degrees plus.  For those days  when you would rather be naked  here are the pieces  that help me  beat the heat and keep my sanity and what I like about  these pieces is that they are all interchangeable ( the arrows give you an idea of how I would pair them) .

When trying to beat the heat you definitely want to look for  breathable fabrics like  light  weight cottons, chiffons and silks. I also swear by baby powder, chafing gel and secret clinical strength deodorant to keep me dry and sane.

I would pair the crop top with the  palazzo pants and straw hat; the denim dress  with  the gladiators and straw hat; the kimono with the crop top, crochet shorts, gladiator sandals and straw hat ; the maxi skirt with the crop top and straw hat. 

 SHOP THE POST

 Do you have any tips, tricks or products you use to beat the heat? I would love to know, comment down below.

Recap : Faves So Far

Cant believe that we are already in the second half of the year; I decided to take a look back at some of my favorite looks so far. Reflecting has been therapeutic and also has helped me to see what changes I need  to make going further. I think its important to  frequently take stock because it allows you to see your progress and to re-prioritize.

Take 2: Baseball Tee and Plaid Skirt

 Click to get the baseball tee, skirt, pumps, or "SHOP THE POST" down below

As I was editing the pictures for this post I started to think back on how my view of myself has changed over the years. As a teenager I was extremely insecure because of my size and I wasnt even plus size; I just had a more mature body. I was insecure because I was taller than most of my peers,because I had stretch marks on parts of my body, because I was darker and because I was foreign. So whenever I entered a room all I wanted to do was hide in a corner or blend in.  Additionally as much as I love my family their views on what is beautiful didn't help much. All these negative views of myself, influenced the decisions I made as a youth, many of  which I wish I could unmake. 

Its taken me some time to see my worth and to realize no one is perfect. This  is one of the reasons I started  youtube-ing and blogging because it may seem superficial because we are talking about clothes but for me its really not. Its about loving yourself, following your dreams and not letting society or anyone else determine your worth. My self worth truly comes from my saviors view of me, he gave something priceless ( his life ) for me because I am priceless.

Portrait Mode: White blazer and Floral Clutch

Click to get the Jacket Shorts Clutch and Pumps or "SHOP THE POST" down below

Ive been in kinda of  a slump as of late, which means that I havnt been shooting for the blog; I am still unsure why, but I have a feeling its because of all it takes to do all of "this".  

Many people don't seem to understand how draining D.I.Y blogging can be ( and being a blogger is just one of my many hats) unlike models and celebrities their is no  stylist, makeup artist, hairstylist or photographer its all me. Which leads to the title of this post while shooting this look instead of putting the camera in creative mode I made a mistake and left it in portrait mode, so I got great detail shots but mostly blurry full shots. This is an example of some of the frustrations one must deal with as a D.I.Y blogger. As the blog reaches its two year anniversary I have  been thinking about what I want for this blog and where I want it go, will elaborate further later.

In lighter news this look features two things that I am currently loving "longer" shorts and tropical print.  Everywhere I turn I see hawaiian florals, palm print, pineapples and all things tropical so it seems like I am not alone. A great way to try a trend without fully committing is to try it in an accessory like a clutch for example.

SHOP THE POST

So what do you think about the tropical trend YAY or NAY?

Textures: Leather Shorts and Fur Clutch

So Ive had these shorts since the fall but I had difficulty styling it; because I didnt have all the pieces in my closet that I needed to complete my vision for the look. That was until I saw these two toned strappy shoes at Zara, lets just say I know it will be a regular on the blog. In addition, I stalked this fur clutch for a while because I couldnt justify paying full price. It finally went on sale and after waiting to see if there would be an additional discount ( never happened) I gave in and purchased it and cant say I am mad. I just love the fact that it will introduce another dimension to my looks by adding texture and yes it will also be a regular on the blog too.

So what's your strategy for deciding when to purchase a must have?

Spring Break : Josephine Swim

So I was contacted by a lovely member from the Josephine Swim team, since the brand is new she told me a little about it and I decided to find out more.

This collage features one of my favorites from the brand; with spring break around the corner and swimsuit season approaching I thought It would be a great time to share with you. So if you are in the market for a suit, I urge you to check out their other suits HERE.

10 Size 11's Under a 100

I get alot of questions/comments about where I buy my shoes because I wear a size 11. Being a size 11'er I know how difficult it can be to find shoes but although it may seem impossible it is really not. I find that many stores dont carry size 11 in house but most that have online stores do. Here is a list of some stores that carry size 11.

Budget stores:

Rainbow, JcPenny.com, Charlotte Russe, Target, Justfab.com, Shoedazzle.com, Payless

Other stores

Macys.com, Nordstrom.com, Topshop.com, Asos.com, Aldoshoes.com, NastyGal.com, Barefoottess.com, Zappos.com, 6pm.com

The only other tip I can give is to buy it when you find it because one thing I have learned is that size 11+ always sell out first. If it something you can live without you can wait for the sale but most of the time it will sell out.

P.s I find that Topshop, Zara and Asos shoes run small so bare that in mind.

Leopard Lover : Leopard Jump Suit and Blazer

Ive got a love hate relationship with leopard its one of those prints that can add that extra ummph to an outfit or completely kill it. For A/W we saw it in various colors for example in the Phillp Lim for Target collection. So I seriously debated getting this jumpsuit cause I was like this might be too much. I am glad I did but, I cant say I am a fan of the harem style leg. I would have preferred a straight foward talored hem but you cant have everything right.  By the way I am giving away this jumpsuit and more on my YouTube  channel so if you havnt checked it out now is the time. 

So are you a leopard lover?
