A Sort of Kind of Outfit Post (of the plus size variety)

This pseudo outfit post came as quite the surprise.

Some back story... I've been working towards having my husband, Jake, assist me as a second shooter with my photography business. This weekend, I took him out to teach him the ropes with my camera and I ended up being his subject. I'm pretty much never in front of the camera, so I felt sufficiently awkward, but went with it.

Later that night, while browsing through the photos that Jake took, something struck me. Lots of the blogs that I follow create outfit posts, but I don't think I've ever seen one for us ladies of the plus size variety. I'm all about embracing what you've got -- be it a little or a lot -- so I figured I would, gulp, share some of the photos on the blog.


It's not always easy to find cute/ current looking clothes in larger sizes, so I'm happy to share where each piece came from:

Boots: Hunter Huntress wide-calf rain boots: Saks Fifth Avenue
Top: H&M+ Sizes 12-24
Denim: Torrid

Major props to Jake for taking these!

Pretty! I swear that this is the first time I've seen a "normal" plus size outfit of the day-type post that I could pick up at the mall without going broke. I feel so boxed in on where I can shop...I never really thought about seeing if H&M had anything in my size. Thanks for posting yourself.

Oh my goodness! I am not a tiny little thing either and have always wondered why I never see plus sized outfit posts and thought, "Hey, maybe I can start something!" Lol I am so glad you posted these, you look gorgeous and I love the outfit! I have really been wanting some Hunters!
Hope you are having a great Monday!
