The last time I wore flared jeans was probably in middle school but I’m very happy so many of my favorite 90s trends are coming back.
To me this is an adult version of what I wore 20 years ago and I’m so happy with how it came out. It incorporates a trend but still feels chic, classic famine and very me.
I highly suggest getting these flares from Amazon. They’re under $40 and available in sizes S-3X. I’m wearing a 3X and typically wear 20/22 in jeans.
This look would be perfect for the office or a casual slay and the best part is that it will look absolutely amazing on every body type. I love a look that not only will translate over time but also with different shapes.
Let me know down below what you think of this look!
They’re cute and all. Trendy even. They look so so comfortable.
That’s all well and good, but you’re thinking; can I pull it off?
I’m here to tell you absolutely yes!
In fact, I was you, a biker shorts non-believer, not too long ago. I remember seeing Kim Kardashian wearing them out and about with heels and thinking, I could never! To me it was definitely a look on the celebrity trend train and your girl was not about boarding, okay!
But look at me now!
Here I am today not only wearing biker shorts; she is wearing them well I might at add! Oh and I just placed an order for 2 more.
Thanks Amazon Prime!
With the summer heat making it hard and just plain uncomfortable getting dressed up, I’m seeking comfort over a full glam slay. These biker shorts paired with an oversize white tee is going to be my uniform for the rest of summer and even into fall! Floridian Falls stay warm too and if does get chilly, adding a denim jacket is a cute way to add an extra layer.
Let me give you some deets on these shorts if you decide to get them.
The main one is to size down! I would even say 2 sizes. These shorts are a 3X and huge on me. The new ones I just purchased I got them in an XX-Large. Definitely read the sizing guide to help get the perfect fit. They should be snug not too tight and definitely not loose.
They are part of the Amazon Drop essentials so they will be evergreen styles available to purchase. So if your size is sold out, sign up for notifications because they will absolutely be bringing them back.
I kept my look super casual with some vintage Nike hightop and I absolutely love this look. You can try any pair of white tennis shoes to keep the look young and fresh.
Would you rock this look? Let me know if you’re here for biker shorts?
March is Women’s Month and I’m thankful for all the amazing women in my life!
The female relationships in my life provide me more than just a partner-in-crime to binge watch Netflix.
They contribute friendship, real community, healing, understanding, support, love, inspiration and so much more. I love them fiercely.
Alexa, play ‘Formation’ and let’s get it ladies!
I was so impressed by this dress from Amazon The Drop I went and purchased more. Most of the items go up to a 3X however, the popular or super trendy pieces stop at and XL.
When will they learn that fat women love to look good too and dress up in the latest trends?
Hopefully with more of Amazon The Drop Influencer collaborations we will continue to see more diverse size inclusion options for all styles.
Master Bedroom Install and Reveal with Levity Interiors
I’ve officially been in my new house for 4 months but for the first 3 months my bedroom only consisted of a mattress. To say that sleeping in my new home was challenging is an understatement.
I felt uneasy and just not settled not to mention the construction guys that blast reggaetton while they work and while I sleep is just super. #NightShiftProblems
So I was beyond eager and excited to finally work on purchasing items that would be my safe haven — my master bedroom. Levity and I teamed up again to create something special.
I wanted it to be an oasis and spa like. I wanted to feel peace, calm and excited to be there. Levity nailed it after one revision of the design concept board. She created a pink and feminine, sophisticated and soft modern space that has been a dream to live in. I’ve never slept so well till the night after install.
Earlier this month I shared the big news that I bought my first home! Working on making my house a home has been, well, a struggle. That’s why I’m so excited to be working with Levity of Levity Interiors to help create the office of my dreams.
My decision to buy a home of my own has been one in the making for years– 10 to be exact.
Moving after graduation from my hometown of Boston to Jacksonville was not the plan. I figured I had a year or two before moving out of state. But circumstances outside of my control brought me to Florida.
New city, new job, new friends. It was a lot of new and I had a lot on my plate that made the idea of venturing out on my own overwhelming and scary. And over the next decade I would start the process of getting my own place multiple times without it coming to fruition. I ended up psyching myself out, crippled by fear and resorted to just making it work with what I had.
In that time I started Musings of a Curvy Lady as a hobby that has turned into a part-time job that I adore.
I love creating content to share on my platforms but the idea of creating over time felt more like a chore than something I would get excited about. My feelings had a lot to do with not having a proper space of my own that I could work and grow in.
After losing my studio rental space and having to haul all of my equipment solo into my mom’s garage I made the decision right then and there; enough was enough.
At that moment I decided that I was going to buy a house so not only I would have my own living space but a creative work space that was my own. No need to haul or store equipment on someone else’s property.
I knew once I got my house the first room that I wanted to fully furnish would be my home office.
This is where I would essentially create the career of my dreams and I needed the space to reflect that. I wanted it to be beautiful and chic but to be honest I was so overwhelmed by the entire process I didn’t know where to begin.
I’m so fortunate to have discovered Levity Interiors via Instagram. Levity is a local design consultant here in Jacksonville and soon after following one another on the ‘gram I fell in love with her gumption and design work. Her and her fiancé Clayton are renovating their second home and it’s amazing to watch the transformation.
One day I decided to email Levity and ask if she would be interested in helping me design a room in my new home.
No answer.
Crickets.
Nada.
A whole week went by. I was bummed but could understand why. We’re all just so busy.
But I decided to send her a DM just to follow up on the initial email and after just a few moments later, Levity wrote back with an astounding yes! She was so excited to want to collaborate and I was so surprised she said yes.
We immediately got to work starting with answering a design questionnaire and pulling ideas onto a Pinterest board. Levity drafted a design board and after one revision we had our final draft ready to implement.
I can’t believe this is my office! You can watch my initial reaction to seeing it on my YouTube Channel.
WATCH THE REVEAL
I am just over the moon with the final result. It’s beautiful, chic, romantic, feminine and perfectly cozy.
This office means so much more than just a work space. This is where I’m going to make my dreams a reality. I’m so thankful to Levity for taking the thoughts runnings around in my head and helping me create this perfect creative space.
