I had a blast yesterday in Soho for Fashion's Night Out! The city's energy is always super intense during Fashion Week, and last night was no different. I decided to wear my awesome sheer beaded cape top from Dorothy Perkins with my gold sequin mini from Forever21. I definitely got a lot of stares in this, both good and bad. I consider that the sign of a great outfit.


Can I just take a moment and thank the fashion gods that top knots are in? Because seriously, my hair + humidity just doesn't work. I had it professionally done and it lasted about 4 minutes after I stepped outside.
Cape-Dorothy Perkins/Skirt-Forever21+/Shoes-Forever21/Earrings-Adha Zelma And oh yeah, um, I met my hero, Beth Ditto. She performed at MAC's event, and was just as amazing as expected. She signed my magazine, "Fat Forever, Love, Beth." I died.
Love this look, I do not know which piece I like more the skirt or the cape. I never like anything I see on forever 21 but you always luck up and work it.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe people were giving you bad stares. This is simply a great outfit. That is a beautiful cape and it belongs in my closet.
ReplyDeletethink this may be my favorite outfit of yours!! love the makeup too, goes great with your new hair :)
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!!!!! YOU'RE SUCH A STUNNER.
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely stunning! I would have died too if Ms Dito herself signed ANYTHING of mine! Flaws of Couture loves you over here in Toronto by the way! #JustSaying...
ReplyDeleteChapeau !

ReplyDeleteI was wondering what you decided on! You look fab. Your monochromatic look reminds me of some of the pictures I saw in Nicolette's entry in Marie Claire (http://www.marieclaire.com/fashion/fashionista-blog/big-girl-skinny-world-fashion-week-day-one) about Sachin + Babi's Spring 2012 collection. You're way ahead of us! I SO wish I was there to participate in all the fashion fun this week! Sigh... Enjoy it! http://curvycanadian.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteSome people don't realize fashion when they see and actually aren't bold enough to do what you did. I love the skirt! Fierce.

Your skirt is beyond AMAZEBALLS! It seriously makes my heart skip a beat, just to fall in love again lol... I need that in my life asap! Super cute look... I always love your style.
ReplyDeleteI think the top knot works even better with the outfit. Its so cute! Love the outfit and top bun!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the top knot comment I have been saved by it while vacationing in a hot climate with my mixed hair. Love the skirt and love the nude shoe. Fabulous and so happy with an update! Do you know what brand Beth dittos dress was or if was a custom?
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful!The colours suit you really well, and yes, thank the fashion gods for top knots, cause my hair doesn't work as well with humidity and heat as well.

ReplyDeleteOk. You are STUNNING
ReplyDeleteI love your top..you look so FAB! And lovin the lipstick too..
ReplyDeleteOMG your lip color is AMAZING!!
ReplyDeleteWhat is it?!?!?!?!?
About your comment on stares:
ReplyDeleteI have ALWAYS wondered about how other people perceive fashion bloggers (of any size really, but especially Plus Size). I mean, of course we blog readers love you and die for your fashion...but I know how I'm perceived myself (just a regular person without a support system for fashionably plus sized glam b*tches LOL) when I put together a stunner and get rude looks and comments and I always chock it up to "Well, people around here are just not on my level so...of course they kick it back that it's negative to be big and stylish". It's like, how dare I wear tall heels and makeup and be fat too? WHO AM I TRYING TO IMPRESS?! Sigh.
I don't want to focus on the negative part of your post because as per usual, you looked beautiful, but it kind of makes me feel a little better to know that it's people' dumb ideas of what is beautiful and fashionable as a whole, and I don't need to try and hold myself back in what I choose to wear.
Just wish I had another you to be able to talk to about it with :)
fat forever! omg loveeee.
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit!!
ReplyDeletesuper hot!
ReplyDeleteThey are HATERS PERIOD! And when they surface you know you are doing something right, although love is equally important. Thus I LOVE that outfit keep it up!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing! love the cape!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the Adha Zelma love Gabbi! Our Honey Teardrop earrings look Hot on you! The total look is so very fabulous!

Jordan lorsque michael jordan intégra le monde de la nba en 1984, ce ne fut pas seulement le début d'une carrière sans égal, mais aussi
ReplyDeletele début de la série célèbre "Air Jordan" de nike. le fabricant d'articles de sport accorda toute
une série de chaussures et d'habits au basketteur doté apparemment de talents surhumain. cette série fit tout de suite sensation : l' Air Jordan 1 fut interdite par la nba puisque la combinaison des coloris noir/rouge ne
correspondit pas au "code vestimentaire" de la nba à l'époque. pourtant, cela ne put empêcher le succès mondial de cette sneaker unique.
au contraire : la chaussure de basket déclencha une véritable hystérie et est, dès lors, lancée dans une nouvelle édition chaque
année.jordan - plus qu'une simple chaussure de basket les spots publicitaires de jordan sont aussi innovateurs que les produits eux-
mêmes. au cours des années 80, avec spike lee alias mars blackmon, ils conquirent les écrans de la télé. aujourd'hui, les spots pour les
différents modèles d'air jordan sont toujours de vrais classiques sur youtube. de nos jurs, le jumpman ne se porte pas seulement sur les
chaussures : Air Jordan 3, Air Jordan
4, Air Jordan 5, Air Jordan 6,
Air Jordan 7, Air Jordan Spizike.
ils se distinguent par le design typique de la marque et convainquent par une excellente qualité et des matières hut de gamme. en 1997,
nike externalisa même la série de jordan : aujourd'hui, la marque de jordan développe ses propres produits, mais coopère néanmoins
étroitement avec nike. des joueurs comme carmelo anthony ou dwyane wade portent le jumpman dans la nba. ainsi, michael jordan reste
présent dans la meilleure ligue de basket-ball du monde. Obtenez les dernières Air
