Who is ready for Thanksgiving food? I know I am.  I am ready to chow down on some good food and get closer to my family and friends. When its comes down to picking a Thanksgiving outfit, I like to where a outfit that allows me to stuff my face and still look put together. On today’s post I am sharing my easy go to thanksgiving approved outfit. Staying put together and full is the key when thinking of a Thanksgiving outfit. This outfit I put together was inspired by Rochelle of Beauticurve.com, a plus size blogger. A year ago she put together a few looks for Thanksgiving, and this look was one I was inspired to recreate. Anyway, this casual multi print dress is just what we need to for Thanksgiving. It is put together, and roomy. You can take this dress to dinner table with the in laws or a night out one the town. Very versatile.  It is an  inexpensive dress, that features a lettuce trim neckline, elastic waist with a remove self tie sash. This dress is currently $19 on the Shein site. To complete this look I added my a black thigh high boots and …

Rompers in the fall? It’s kinda cold. Hmmmm. Let me be clear, I had upmost full intent to wear this in the summer. However, I did not get around to wearing it. I have too many clothes. And yeahhhh….

As of the lately, Michigan weather has been up and down. Cold and breezy in the morning, warm mid day, and breezy when the sun starts to set. So how do you style yourself in this wishy washy weather. Layering is key and invest in transitional apparel.  I think a romper could become a great transitional piece to add to your wardrobe.   On today’s post I am sharing how I wore my romper, and others ways to style a romper in the fall. Rompers are so cute until you are peeing in …

So for the fall season I am exploring ways to ditch traditional pieces, like jeans, for something up to date! IDK! Cargo pants is that trend that are replacing jeans. Not really but really, LOL !  She (cargo pants) has been showing up, on displays, and dropping subtle hints that she (cargo pants) were going to show up for the season. The utility inspired pants is definitely apart of the fall fashion season with a bit of a twist. Cargo pants are best alternative for jeans because they are comfortable, and very easy to style with any basic look. So I decide to explore different cargo style pants for my frame! I always wanted to try, however I thought there were going to be too baggy, or not fit right here or there? Well found myself a pair from Forever 21  and we are going to test these “cargos” out on my frame. Let see what they do!  On today’s post I am going to share with you my thoughts and how I styled my cargo pants! How I Style My Cargo Pants?  Oversized button up | oversized cargos | leopard pumps First I styled my cargos by adding a cuff to …

What are you wearing for Valentines Day?  Valentines is 2 days away, lol you have some time to get on board ladies.  If you know me I am keeping this look budget friendly for the girls that are conscious about their coins. So I have this cute inexpensive monochromatic look.   When it comes to creating a “one color” look, simply keep to one color and add different textures, and gradients. I decided on blush pink, one of my favorite colors for the season. To be honest, I have been quite obsessed with monochromatic fashion. So I decided to experiment with it this time around. My look is clean, casual, chic, but still bringing a little wow-factor to the table. Guaranteed it will have your love interest trying to shoot their shot.. So if you want the tea on how I put together this  look… keep reading. FashionLayn’s Outfit Deets… I decided to branch outside of my quirky street theme and come with a monochromatic, feminine look. Creating a outfit based on one color can be a bit boring, to some. If you incorporate the right elements, and understand a bit of depth and dimension, I guarantee you will pull …

Last Wednesday, I had the opportunity to collaborate with Forever 21 at the Somerset Collection Mall to help with a really cool charity event.  Forever 21 partnered up with Girls Inc, a non-profit organization that helps underprivileged girls through different programming. Any PINK item that the customer purchases, Forever 21 donate $1 to the organization. On top of shopping for cause, F21 was also providing  beauty touch ups, F21 $10 gift cards for the first 25 attendees, and $100 gift card raffles, and styling tips for you know who, ME and so many other great influencers. This event was so much fun! I had a good time networking with other influencers and helping the customer navigate through their items. On Wednesday We Wear Pink!! I would not be me if I did not tell you all how excited I was when I got the email to work with Forever 21.  As a budget friendly blogger I take pride in how I look. I also feel like you do not have to break the bank to look good in what you where. Before I got in fashion hard, Forever 21 was my place to keep me on trend and fashionable without …

Lately what has been on trend are things from the 70’s have been showing up in the stores. In the “Its October” post I was telling y’all that in Forever 21 they had a big section dedicated to 70’s prints, and style.  Bell Bottoms, Patches, Geometric prints, and corduroy, etc. I think 70’s were super unique and powerful time in our history. FashionLayn Outfit Deets… Lets get right into the fashion details. In this weeks outfit I am giving y’all a bit of the 70’s in this look.  The mini skirt with the zip panel, a cozy mustard sweater with thigh high boots. Instead of going for the A-line skirt I decided to show up my curves this look a little update and wear a skirt that is more form-fitting. Both pieces I am featuring in this picture both come from Forever 21.  This mini skirt is super cute for the fall months. You can pair this with colorful stocking and booties or over the knee boots like I did.  The mini skirt is corduroy texture skirt with a front zipper with a pull ring. Definitely giving me 70’s vibes. This mini skirt is true to size and fits nicely on any …
