Been to Athleta lately? A place plus size folks had relied on for quality activewear up to 3X, lately, Athleta’s plus size offerings are dwindling, and those that are left are usually only in black or navy. Sadly, another retailer has decided not to cater to the average woman in the United States, and it’s…
Last year I deleted my Nordstrom card from my online account. I cut up the card. And by the end of the year, I paid off the entire balance. Nordstrom was my weakness, they had my size, they shipped quickly. I’d get a box, pour a glass of wine, try on, take my time with…
One of the most popular questions I am asked on Instagram is where I buy my activewear. And I haven’t written a post about it because my answer is not exciting. I am 5’3” which has me between regular and petite sizing, and I wear a 14 in pants, 12 in some jeans. This makes…
I have written many times before on what to wear to a music festival. In my 20s and early 30s, I loved music festivals and attended over a dozen. I had my style down pat and had very definite opinions on what to wear. A decade later I attended my first music festival in a…

Yesterday I shared a post-workout selfie on Instagram Stories. I was wearing new Athleta leggings that I looove and with it, a cropped top also from Athleta (sold out). One that doesn’t cover my belly, one that rides up on occasion. And I love it too. I felt fierce. I was so sick all week…
A year ago, I was in the worst shape of my life. At 5’3” I was a bit over 200 lbs. I had back pain, knee pain, and occasionally got migraines. My allergies were terrible, I was always tired and felt as though I was living life in a fog. I’ve never been athletic, but…
I gotta admit, things have been hectic and I’m behind on blog content. So instead of a fab outfit or a carefully curated capsule wardrobe, here’s a list of things I’ve recently purchased that are worthy of a mention. I will be back to regularly scheduled content very soon! Earlier this year I thought I…
