30 For 30 - 4/30
* "The Who" Graphic Tee
* Black Skirt
* Black Ballet Flats
The Accomplice:
* Black Chevron Tights, Avenue, $9
I was going for texture in this outfit, since it was mostly monochromatic, with the exception of the logo on the tee...I love how it turned out, and I love (even more) the fact that up to a few months ago, I spent my whole life buying tops that were long enough to hide my tummy, because I didn't want to look "fat" (as if people couldn't tell how big I was if my shirt covered my belly)...I am embracing my shape with this outfit, and I actually really like how it looks!
I also really couldn't resist playing with my camera in this flouncy poofy skirt...who could?!
Yeah, that's the tops of my tights LOL so what? ;)

Is anyone else as tired of seeing me in those shoes as I am?! That's the only thing I'd change about this outfit, otherwise it's really cute if I do say so myself!
Review - Catherines, Loop 18, Cacique, Lane Bryant and Fashion Bug
So, I received my package from all of the above this week (they're all affiliated, so you can buy from all five stores at one website, and they usually give some sort of deal/incentive when you shop from a combination of stores), and I'd like to review the clothes/service.
First off, I love that I can shop at such different places all in one spot, AND get discounts as a result! Catherines and Lane Bryant are more sophisticated clothes, Cacique is all undergarments/lingerie, and Fashion Bug is a bit more accessible clothing. Loop 18 is a plus size juniors boutique, basically a younger version of Lane Bryant.
From Loop 18, I got the black mesh skirt I wore yesterday, and a red plaid/black tunic I'm wearing today (OOTD to follow later!)...I'll definitely be shopping at Loop 18 more, they have really cute stuff. From Fashion Bug, I got a black mesh cocktail dress (GORGEOUS, idk why my fascination with buying formalwear when I have no upcoming occasions to wear them. It's always good to have just-in-case formal wear, but I have like 4 dresses just waiting for a party!) and I also got these awesome leggings that I'm wearing today. They are the Sistine Chapel of leggings. They are super heavy duty material, they feel more like pants. They don't cling at the bottom, and are the perfect length. LOVE!
From Cacique, I got 2 bras, as they were buy one, get one 50%. Lovely, as always (I used to buy all my lingerie at Cacique). At Catherines, I picked up a pink silk pencil skirt with a black lace overlay. BEAUTIFUL, but almost too nice to wear to work. We'll see what occasion I wear this to.
The last item, a pair of pinstripe wide leg work pants, SHOULD have been wonderful, but they were too big on me. Too wide, too long, just wrong all over. Those will be going back. The awesome thing is that these can be returned in store, so I don't have to go through the mission of mailing them back and possibly getting charged for it.
Overall, very good shopping experience. I've always been a fan of Lane Bryant/Cacique and only stopped shopping there because it was so expensive for a shopoholic like me, but now that I've been introduced to these other brands (esp. Loop 18) and I know where to find all the deals, I'll definitely be hitting this place up more often!

2 BIG Sales happening at Catherines!
The following sale is based on buying at any combination of the following stores: Cacique, Lane Bryant, Loop 18, Catherines and Fashion Bug!
The offer I got when I clicked was 30% off with code 777012030 at checkout if you shop only at Catherines.
How about I start the shopping ban on the first of October? Sound good to everyone? LOL I'm gonna go check out if I can find at least one thing I LOVE at each shop so I can get the best discount!
:EDIT: I saved $140 on almost $300 worth of stuff! I'll do a picture post later of all the different things I bought (8 items total from all 5 different shops)
