The Best Size-Inclusive Active Shorts: A Review of the Universal Standard Sunny Shorts

Universal Standard reached out in the Summer of 2021 and asked if I would like to try out their Sunny Swim Shorts. This was for an Instagram campaign (seen here). I know many like a bit more coverage with their swimwear and said yes so I could provide a thorough and honest review. What I…

Tall Boots for Wide Calves

Boots are hot this season. Pulled over skinny jeans, matched with wool and denim skirts, paired with gauchos, it seems that a pair of tall boots is a necessity for any woman’s wardrobe. What do you do when your calves aren’t slim? A childhood of playing soccer, a more zaftig figure than most models, a…

14 Stores That Sell Petite Suits over Size 12

As someone who is 5’3″ and has been a size 10-16 all her adult life, it has been hard to find petite suiting in my size. Hard, but not impossible. As a woman in her late 40s who is around a size 14/16 and feels fierce in a great pantsuit, and spent many, many years…

True Fashionista: Amethyst Dwyer of Greenbelt

Karl and I moved to Historic Old Greenbelt in 1999. When we bought this house, I swore it would be temporary. While the price was right, I didn’t like the idea of moving back to where I grew up (only a couple miles from my childhood home). Three years max, and we’d get a bigger…

The Tights Dilemma

Cold weather is approaching (and already has landed in the more northern parts of the planet) and with all the cute dresses and skirts in the stores this season, what’s a girl supposed to do to prevent frostbite on her knees? You know by now my opinion on pantyhose (hate it, only approve when an…

Style comes not from what you have in your closet but how you wear it. All these items have been in my closet a while. Instead of spending time shopping for new, I used that time to play with the pieces and see if I could create a new combination and give a fresh life to my closet.

What’s awesome is these same items are still for sale or else there is a new version this season from the same retailer. Hello shirts made for large busts, petite pants over a size 12, water and sweat resistant jewelry, and chic size inclusive trench coats!

Shirt: @theshirt_rochellebehrens
Sweater: @bananarepublic
Pants: @anntaylor
Bag: @onequince
Glasses: @eyebobs
Necklaces and circle ring: @analuisany
Coat: @universalstandard
Lipcolor: @merit
Sneakers: @adidas

Comment LINK or SHOP to receive a DM with more details on this look including where to shop for these pieces! For reference I’m wearing the shirt and sweater in XL, the coat in XS, and the pants in 16P.

It’s wool blazer season; that period of the year where it’s comfortable wearing one without a coat and not too overly heated inside to keep it on. I decided to have some fun with pattern mixing in shades of blue with a pop of leather.

Blazer: @veronicabeard (it’s one of the jackets you can add dickeys to; I recommend if you’re a 16 to go with the smaller dickey, above go with the larger)
Shirt: @theshirt_rochellebehrens
Jeans: @lovechicos (old)
Belt: old @talbotsofficial scarf
Bag: @onequince
Glasses: @eyebobs
Sneakers: @adidas

I love chartreuse, moss gold, acid green, and all those other greenish goldish colors big this season. Sure they look great with denim, black, brown, and navy but I’ve been styling the color with unexpected pairings and love the effect.

Pants: @loft (machine washable & petites over size 12 🙌)
Sneakers: @veja (old)
Belt: @anntaylor (old)

Decided to stay local and attend #NoKings in @cityofgreenbelt with my sister @debbiefaye78 and so glad I did! It was heartening to see so many of my neighbors join together to protest what this administration is doing to our country. It’s not about red or blue, left or right, but right and wrong and the way they are destroying our country, breaking laws, and having complete disregard for our Constitution. We cannot be silent, and these No Kings gatherings should be motivation to take our activism to the next level. The reason we’re in this mess is apathy; fighting back is the only way to save our country. Thank you to all who participated today; let’s keep this energy going! 🇺🇸💪
