{OOTD} Double Whammy

Hey ladies! (and gents)…I’m back and in full effect. I have 2 outfit videos that I wanted to share with you from this weekend. Nothing special. Just simple and casual because I’m a simple and casual kinda girl. Enjoy!

Saturday:

I worked overtime this day and I wanted to be comfortable so I threw on a pair of boyfriend shorts and a tank that I got from Target. The tank is cut kinda low so for the office I added a black long length cardigan (not shown). I also wore brown & gold flat sandals. After I knocked out an 8 hour shift, I ditched the cardigan and flats. It was like 100F here in Houston but it felt like 1000F. Perfect day for ice cream. I met up with my guy friend for a few seconds and then picked up my mom & boys for some yummy Baskin Robins ice cream. But before we went for ice cream I stopped at Burlington Coat Factory. I ended up buying these BCBG pumps on clearance for $19.98.

This was a total impulse buy. I had no intentions of buying anything but when I tried these bad jokers on I had to have them. I must admit, these are the most comfortable pumps ever. They literally have cushion in them *heaven for the feet*. After ice cream, I chilled with the fam for awhile and when my boys were sound asleep mama went on a *hot date* Laughing out loud.



What I'm Wearing:
Oversized Tank, Large- Target 
$3.74 (Clearance)
Boyfriend Shorts, 14- Target 
$4.80 (Clearance)
Lace-up Sandals, 9- Marshalls 
$9.99 (Clearance)
Oversized Satchel Handbag- 
Ross $16.99 (not shown)

Sunday:

I spent majority of the day relaxing (what I enjoy doing most). In the late afternoon I went to the Beauty Supply Store, Good Will, and Target ( I know in the video I mentioned going to the Salvation Army but I was too hot and irritated to drive any further than where I was). I didn’t buy anything special at the Beauty Supply Store just a few hair accessories. My purpose of going to the Goodwill was to find some sort of necklace rack and I did for $2.99. I also found this dress, in a size 8, for $9.99. I love the way this dress fits. And for it to be a size 8 (I’m normally a 14) it fit just right. I learned a long time ago not to look at the size tag and to always try stuff on because you never know what you can fit.

After the Goodwill, me and my crew headed to Target. I didn’t buy anything. I let my oldest son spend his money he had which was burning a serious hole in his pocket. Now on to the outfit that I wore…

Coral Ruffle Top, XL- Old Navy 
Khaki Bermuda Shorts, 16- Sears
Tan Braided Belt, L/XL- Burlington

{Blog Update} Blogging Woes

No need to worry. I’m still breathing. If you follow me on Twitter (@chubbydivanique) then you know that I’m alive. I know that I’ve been a terrible blogger. I’ve been super swamped with life #pointblankperiod (did I just do that hashtag thingy from Twitter…Embarrassed smile). If you follow/read my past post then you know that my life is a crazy rollercoaster. The new gig is going great though.

Ummmm…Let’s see what else…My big boy (6 year old) got his cast removed today *Yay* (he fractured his elbow-skating accident). My baby boy thinks he runs the house and at 2 years old it’s amazing to see his vocabulary growing each day. Have you had a full convo with a lil’ one lately? Kids are hilarious. Ummmm…School…Well it’s just that…School…I have to be honest I really haven’t been as interested in school as before. Maybe it’s the psychology class I’m taking #boring (did it again Embarrassed smile). I want to continue on but it is so hard. I am a really bad procrastinator and it’s gotten worse since I started my new gig. I’m trying to juggle it all but I think I’ve hit a plateau. I have a paper to write, a test to take, and plenty of reading to do (by tomorrow night) and I’ve been sitting here with a blank stare #tired #movingforward (did it back-to-back Confused smile). Have you ever tried to accomplish so much that you start warring yourself thin?

I just wanted to let my lovely divas know that I’m still around and I will be posting consistently soon. I have a lot of plans for my blog (I know you’ve heard this many times before but I’m serious). More outfit post, reviews, and venting sessions. Ok I am done for now. Back to doing nothing. On that note, I’m going to bed. Nighty night chubby divas.

What keeps you motivated?
I am motivated by the belief that I deserve to look fabulous and beautiful at any size. The media perpetuates a certain image of the "ideal" woman, but I refuse to conform. My curves are sexy and worth looking at :) It also helps having a man in your life who loves every one of your curves. :-P LOL
