I try not to let my OOTD posts get too long. I feel like the picture should speak for itself. I apologize for the blurry picture! My dad only took two, and he has the tendency to take blurry pictures (god bless his heart! :D) This was the better of the two - if you can believe it - but I liked this outfit so much I had to post it despite the awkward pose and out-of-focus...ness.

Here I'm rocking the Prabal Gurung for Target sweatshirt. I went into great detail about this item in a post not long ago about my Target haul, so I won't say much here expect I still love it. (Only bad thing about it is that Target offered XL as the largest size, so I bought that even though I suspect a XXL would have been better. The sweatshirt tends to ride up a bit.) I also swtiched up the hair and tried a Janelle Monae-esque pouf. I actually kind of liked it.

Okay then! This is Part I of a three part exposé of my most recent purchases. Geez...listening to that it makes it sound like I shop all the time and have an unlimited budget! Which is only partly true, hee hee. Actually, my budget varies and though I "window" shop online almost every day, my usual buying strategy involves buying lots of items at once. And this doesn't take into account that I return things as well. Also, I rarely pay full price for anything. May I recommend RetailMeNot.com? Seriously, this website has changed my life! I always check there before buying anything online.

I've already talked about the chambray top in my OOTD post previously so I won't talk about it here other than to say that I still love it. The lime Mossimo (which is quickly becoming one of my favorite designers that cater to larger ladies) sweater is also fantastic. I'm sure it will pop up in an OOTD pretty soon. It's actually quite thick, so it may be better for fall. Also, it runs VERY SHORT. I'm short waisted, and even I think it's a teensy bit too short. Other than that, it drapes well and I adore the color.

The cream lace top by Merona is worn often as well. It looks great with a leather skirt I got at F21+. It has something of a mix between a v-neck and a scoop-neck which I kind of dig. The lace is lovely, and I think it looks more expensive than it is.

I LOVE the Pure Energy sweater!!! The color looks great against my skin and the fabric weave is jusssst loose enough to get a hint of my bra if I wear a black one (very sexy). Plus the deep scoop is very flattering to the bust and the fabric drapes so well. the only complaint would be that it is a bit too long on me (I'm ridiculously short-waisted). The rounded hem is awesome though.
