Shopping & Good Bangs

As you may or may not have figured out....I love to shop. It is something that I have always enjoyed. I love fashion and clothes and shoes and purses and....all of it! But up until yesterday, it has always been something I have done on my own. Shopping in the plus size section and struggling into something you think would look cute only to realize that it just makes you look like a stuffed sausage isn't much fun when you have friends tagging along to witness your mortification....until yesterday. :)

I am a big bargain hunter. I love a good sale and coupons and when a certain store has their 12 hour sale, I am there with coupons in hand....but normally alone. If I ever went with friends, I would hang out in the home section and just pretend that I wanted to spend my money on home stuff right now. Well the 12 hour sale happened yesterday and I went, with friends, and I tried stuff on, and bought stuff and never once stepped into the plus size section. It was awesome. I am so happy that I get to finally share this part of my life with my friends.

Here is one of the dresses I got!

Also....regular sized clothes are SO much cheaper than big girl clothes. HOLY COW!!!!!!

And now for good bangs....and get your minds out of the gutter. :)

I am thinking about getting bangs. I have wanted to do something different with my hair and have contemplated many different things....even going blonde. I went and saw the movie something borrowed last night and I couldn't stop looking at Ginnifer Goodwin's bangs. I LOVED them...so this may be my new look!
Is it the new me? Any advice is welcome!

Oh and a big Happy Mother's day to all out there in blog land!

I love the dress! You look fabulous as always! I think bangs would look great. I've wanted them myself.

I am taking my mom to a movie and dinner and we will be seeing that movie!

I'm not quite out of the plus section yet. Somethings but not everything.

Oh! I'm so happy for you Angela!! I honestly hope that not being in the plus sizes will make me more like you in that I will be more interested in clothing and fashion. For me, it's always just been whatever I can put together at Avenue or Lane Bryant, always very pricey and I have never liked shopping. If I tried to go to a department store, I would inevitably walk into their plus size section and not be happy with anything I could find there.

As for the bangs, I have always had bangs until recently (even though my avatar pic has bangs, I don't have them anymore). I love that style of bang though that you posted the pic of. Good luck!

I think those bangs would look great on your face. Very wispy. I'm trying to figure out something new to do with my hair as well.

Super cute dress!!!
