Beyond Sweatshirts

One of my goals for 2012 was to dress up more. Being a plus size has kept me in sweatshirt and jeans on most days. But I've decided to play around with my wardrobe, add some color and break out of the rut.
Sweater and Shirt: Handed down
Jeans, Boots and Belt: Thrift store
Knee Socks: Target
Headband: Belt from sweater
Earrings: Hand-made by niece

Just a small step in the journey of embracing myself where I'm at and letting my wardrobe grow up.

  1. Very cool outfit!

    I might need to start trawling the thirst stores as well, if that's what you've come up with!

  3. I love charity shop buying - when I was in the UK a few years ago I came home with a suitcase full of treasures, found a few here too. You look lovely in this outfit.

  4. I'm liking the chic-casual look going on here. Boots are great, and I often wear skinny jeans tucked into them, with a winter sweater. Winter styles are fun to change up.

  5. I love it! That outfit looks great and perfect for winter. I used to be all sweatshirts and jeans as well, but teaching everyday force me to wear other things now. It's kind of fun once you get into it.

  7. Beautiful pic and I love the outfit! Very creative, too. Doesn't it feel good to dress up more? I lived in zip-up hoodies for the past two years. Finally ditched them for some pretty tops and sweaters. Thrift stores and consignment shops are my favorite places to shop.
