I’m not sure how it’s already Friday. But that’s what the calendar says and so I’m going with it.
So I guess I’m posting about clothes today and everything else can wait until next week which is just as well since most of our summer days tend to be a repeat of the day before. Like Groundhog Day with Bill Murray.
Except for it’s June. And Bill Murray is nowhere to be found.
Anyway, on a fashion related note, many of you have emailed or left comments wishing that I’d feature more plus-size clothing. So I wanted to tell you about a site that I found a while back but keep forgetting to mention. It’s called One Stop Plus. It’s basically a place where you can search for a dress or a shirt or whatever and it will show you what’s available at a variety of stores. And you can search by color or price too.
So there you go.
And here are a few other things I’ve found this week.
This is only available online but it would be perfect for the 4th of July. Or really anytime.
I have a version of this top that I adore.
3. zoe turquoise and red earrings
These are so beautiful. I love the turquoise and red together.
4. sakura breeze striped dress
I think this dress is cute.
And thanks to two semesters of Japanese that I took in college I also know that sakura means cherry blossom tree. You’d be shocked at how little you get to use the four Japanese words you know when you live in Texas.
I think I mention this every summer but I love Swim Systems swimsuits. It’s all mix and match tops and bottoms.
6. bohemian romance maxi dress
This is pretty. The sleeves would cause me to die of heat in the summer, but maybe I could think about it sometime in November.
(I just proofread this and had typed “die of feet”. Which is another likely possibility. I have an aversion to feet. It’s why I can’t watch that commercial where the groom goes down the aisle barefoot.)
There’s something about this I really like. But it may also cause me to die of heat or feet anytime before November.
8. lakeside lounging polka dot swimsuit
I love the retro look of this swimsuit. Very fun. Like maybe something Gidget would have worn.
Don’t ask me how I just pulled out a Gidget reference. It’s like my four words of Japanese.
These are so cute. And I’d love them with colored jeans. Or basically anything.
10. team USA t-shirt
And if you really want to be patriotic, then there’s nothing better than a Team USA t-shirt.
That’s it for today.
Y’all have a great Friday.
No way you took Japanese! I took 4 years in high school and even took a class trip to Japan, and all I can remember is how to introduce myself, that kawaii means cute, and that as a tall blonde, I’m a walking freak show over there.
Those sandals are way cute.
Sayonara.
When I was in high school (over 20 years ago), I took one semester of Spanish (but quit because, can you believe, the teacher would only speak in Spanish and wanted us to, too!??) I only learned one sentence (and I won’t get it typed right) … Te Me Gusta e voleybol? (or something like that.) It means, “Do you like to play volleyball?”
Not too many times you have the opportunity to use that one.
Unless …
You are driving with your daughter toward the YMCA and you drive by a Mexican man riding a bicycle headed toward said Y. When you get by the Y you see a large group of his friends playing VOLLEYBALL! And he rode right up to them.
I told my daughter, “Man! I missed my only opportunity in my life to use the ONLY Spanish I know!”
It was hilarious!!
Those earrings are too cute! Nice choice.
I took two years of high school Spanish and remember very little. I can pronounce the words pretty well if I am reading it, the thing is I have no clue as to what I am reading.
Have a great weekend!
Feet aversion. I feel your pain. Are you like me and wear socks at the airport, no matter how hot?
How DO you reconcile your aversion to feet and such cute sandals? I need to know because I don’t like feet either, especially my own. I hate to show them in public, but it is oh-so-hard to get through the summer without a sandal.
On behalf of chunky girls everywhere -or at least here-THANKS FOR THE WEB SITE!!
Also, that coat-STUNNING!!
I don’t know about retro. But that swimsuit would shield all the other pool goers from my white, flabby belly. (At our house, we call our fantastic abs a 2-pack and a bag of Doritos.) Besides, isn’t retro back in?? Huge sigh of relief.
Have you heard of Accessory Concierge on FB? They do a sell one night each week. Those earrings were on this week’s sale for $18. So funny. You would love it!
