Outfit of the Day: The Start of Winter Term

Hey Guys,
So last Wednesday, the Winter term started and I got a whole new group of students and a different course to teach. I kind of miss my last term's class, but I know that I'll probably feel the same thing about this group at the beginning of next semester too. I always like to dress well when I'm teaching because it helps the students (whom I'm not much older than) see me as an authoritative person, it helps some of the girls who enjoy fashion to relate to me, and, well, it gives me something to post here for you! I don't know why, but I am really in love with all shades of green suddenly...!

Outfit of the Day - Teaching in my new Torrid Boots!!!

Hey Guys,

This is just a regular outfit of the day post. I wore this to school to teach in. It was a very comfy outfit to wear, but I got a couple of compliments on it (on my lipstick and my new boots, courtesy of Torrid), and I felt pretty good in it! I noticed my students checking out my style too, so that was nice! What do you guys think?

These are the fabulous new over-the-knee suedette boots Torrid sent to me. The colour looks a little funny in this picture. It's just the light. They're black... See below.

I added this one so you could see my new lipstick shade - So Chaud by MAC. Love it!

Many thanks to Torrid for the awesome boots! What do you guys think of the lipstick shade? It's really orange-y and awesome. I saw another blogger, Fat Aus, wearing it, and I just had to grab it, so when I had my 6 empties, I went down to MAC and traded them in for this! It's not a shade for the faint of heart, that's for sure! Stay tuned for a post on where to find awesome hallowe'en costumes in plus sizes! I should be writing that in the next couple of days.

OOTD 3 Take - What I Would Wear to a Wedding

Hey Guys!

I've gotten together with the lovely ladies Rikke from Sticky Sweet Danish and Jessica from Too Many Sequins to do a 3 take on what we would all wear to weddings! This is what I chose. I decided to do three different outfits, since fashions for weddings can vary immensely, some being highly formal, black tie, affairs, and others being more casual. What you wear should depend on how formal the wedding will be. If the invitation suggests black tie or insists that jacket and tie are worn, you can be fairly sure that that's a very formal wedding, whereas if you're going to an outdoor wedding, you can probably assume the dress will be a little bit more casual. Either way, you'll want to look beautiful and I hope that some of these outfits will inspire you as wedding season begins and you go out to shop for your own dresses!

Outfit 1 - Casual

Dress - Ricki's/Shoes - Winners/Jewellery and Purse - Ardene

Outfit 2 - In-between (this type of outfit is a good idea if you're not sure whether it's a more formal or casual affair)

Dress - Marshalls (US)/Bolero - Forever 21+/Clutch - Express (US)/Jewellery - Ardene/Shoes - Penney's (Ireland)

Outfit 3 - Formal/Black Tie

Dress - ASOS Curve/Earrings - Panache/Shoes - Spring/Clutch - Express

My Hair

I put a bump-it in my hair to make it sort of big on top, wore it half-up, half-down, and put a  gold headband on to emphasize the height that the bump-it gave my hair. What do you think?

So what do you guys think? Which one is your favourite? Make sure you visit both Rikke's and Jessica's blogs to see what they would wear too!

What I'm Wearing...

Hi All,

I've taken a few photos of myself in some of my favourite outfits so you can see first-hand what my style is and how I put all the pieces together. I will try to post a picture a week of me in a different outfit, with descriptions of where I got the pieces and how much they cost (if I can remember). Here's my first outfit:

Jacket - from Delirious (their store in Waterloo - they ship throughout Canada)

Top - from Addition-Elle/MXM (not sure how much it cost b/c it was a gift)

Skirt - from Suzy Shier (although Suzy Shier doesn't carry plus-size specifically, some of their items are cut a bit larger or are stretchy and will fit up to a size 18).

Bag - from vintage store (I think it was about $10)

Neclace - from Forever 21 (about $8)

Shoes - from Winners (about $35)

Hope you liked my first outfit! Stay tuned for more!
