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.

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.......

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 ?

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.
