    1 Year Post-Op VSG- My Surgiversary + Before/After Photos

    02/08/2018 /

    It’s been a year. A whole year since I was cut open and 70-80% of my stomach was removed. It’s a pretty crazy thing, if you think about it. My progress has been insane. My life has been FOREVER changed, and I feel great. I feel happy. I feel whole. I’ve created a video with my stats and some updates, so feel free to watch (below.) I have also included a letter that my doctor’s office sent to me with my “WHY” reasons. I remember filling it out, but I didn’t realize that at just one year post op, I would have so many of the items ticked off my…

    THIS SWEATER WILL AGE WITH GRACE – PSOOTD

    02/02/2018 /

    If you’re ever sitting around wondering what one of my biggest purchase regrets is…it’s not this sweater. It should be, since I paid like $200 for it. That’s a story for another day. BUT, it is all cashmere and SO NICE. I swear, it’s like wearing a stick of butter it’s so smooth and keeps me so warm. It’s also one of those pieces I know I can have FOREVER, because it already looks like a Grandma should be rocking it.   I’m sure it will just get better on me with age! I linked the exact one at the only spot I could find it- Poshmark (with tags.) See…

    MOTO JACKET DUPE DREAMS – Plus Size OOTD

    01/22/2018 /

    Do you guys remember when I did a dressing room try on post a few months back? I went into Nordstrom and FELL IN LOVE with an Eileen Fisher jacket that I knew I would NEVER be able to have unless it somehow, magically was marked down 75%? (It was $900!) Don’t get TOO excited for me guys, I didn’t get the gorgeous blue suede moto jacket of my dreams, but I did come PRETTY close. I ended up grabbing a DUPE for it from OLD NAVY for only $60! Check out the side by side below!   Of course, the dressing room photo doesn’t do justice for lighting, but…
