Cutout pants and cutout booties

Dolce Vita Air Slashed Thong Cutout Booties
So much cutouts I'm seeing everywhere this season. These are interesting looking, but I can't imagine them to be too comfortable on your ankle.

Love Shopbop necklaces

Jacquie Aiche Agate Slice Braided Leather Necklace
Jacquie Aiche Agate Slice Braided Leather Necklace
If you want to find a good place to buy interesting necklaces online, this is it. Their necklaces are on the pricey side, but if you're willing to shell out the money, you'll find lots of interesting cuts and shapes to the necklaces they carry. Check out this Jacquie Aiche Slice Braided Leather Necklace for example. It's for the girls with a bit of la bohem in them.

so I take back what I said about delia's

Melanie Dress
Melanie Dress
I think they do have some nice things that justify the more expensive price points. The quality of things seem a bit better than H&M, et al. Styling is on the concervative yet preppy side ... it's like the cheaper version of J.Crew ... except for teens.

Delia's another forgetable brand

Judie Knit Dress
Judie Knit Dress
I can see why my sister would like this store, but then again, I can't see her like this more than the stuff she can find from H&M or Charlotte Russe, et al. Their pricing is on the more expensive side relatively speaking, so what gives Delia's its edge? Nothing really.

Ankle Wrap Pumps are in This Season

Virginia Ankle Boot Pump
Virginia Ankle Boot Pump
Here's the Forever 21 version for a very cheap $27. I think these are as cheap as you can find them. Of course they're not made out of leather, but if you're just going out clubbing in dim lights, why risk getting alcohol spilled on expensive shoes? But there's no guarantee that these shoes won't give you blisters ... in fact most definitely they will. I guess it's a give and take situation. You win some you lose some. But I'm sure hard core clubbers won't be deterred by the prospect of a few burning blisters over a night of cheap and chic clubbing experience.

Another side ruffle dress

Marc By Marc Jacobs Zenith Blue Fiona Fallie Dress
Marc By Marc Jacobs Zenith Blue Fiona Fallie Dress
This one is most interesting out of the all the ones I've seen so far ... it's like faux ruffles or something, because a closer look tells me they're not true ruffles, yet it has that ruffle-esk effect. I like it. But no wonder, it's a Marc Jacobs.

Daisy top

See by Chloe Daisy Top
See by Chloe Daisy Top
Love this See by Chloe Daisy top ... I'd feel like I'm being photoshopped wearing it though. My eyes. Okay so maybe I don't love it so much. I think use the word love too much ... too liberally. I'll stop doing that. But yes coming back to this top ... I think it's a little too bright for my eyes. The colors are great in a painting ... or a children's book, but not on a thirty something. Maybe a twenty something can pull it off, but she still risks looking like a piece of water color gone wrong.

Beauty of Asymmetry

Michael Simon Floral Tank
Michael Simon Floral Tank
Isn't this the theme of the season? Asymmetry is in the air ... everywhere this spring. I'm loving this floral top combining this spring's two hot trends, asymmetry, and the beautiful bright red color. This would be a hit at any girl's Sunday brunch gatherings. Highly highly recommended for the trend setters.

I love this bracelet. It's very pretty. Love the sea elements. Makes me think about the good times spent at the beach, and watching the Little Mermaid as a kid. Truly romance of the sea.

I got the same sweater with princess puff shoulders and short sleeves. The long sleeves pictured here look just as nice but comfier and more practical. The short sleeve sweaters are uncomfortable under a coat. This sweater here is recommended as a stock away item for the next fall.

The wrap look

Now here's a twist on the wrapped ankel stilettos look. It's a wrapped ankel flat sandal. I very much like the idea. They look super comfy, and would go great with jeans. I'll let it make it on my summer must buy list.

Not my style

Anne Valerie Hash capucine dress
Anne Valerie Hash capucine dress
I find dresses like this sloppy and shapeless. If you're in need of curves, better stay away from this cut. It's unflattering. The color is so muted ... I'd say it looks down right depressing. Unless you're an existentialist, you should dress to cheer yourself up instead of down.

I had one just like this when I was in high school except it was crinkled fabric with floral prints, but just as beautiful nevertheless. The cut was very similar giving the same effect when worn. I loved that dress.

Wide shoulder straps work the best

Suzi Chin Maggy Boutique Leaf Print Dress (Plus)
Suzi Chin Maggy Boutique Leaf Print Dress (Plus)
This is a classic cut for a women's plus size dress which Stacey and Clinton would recommend on their what-not-to-wear show for large-set girls. No spaghetti straps allowed here. Notice the straps on this dress are wide, so you can wear a bra underneath without showing the bra straps, and they make your arms look smaller.

Nice Swimsuit

It Figures Plus Size Retro Slender-Thighs Swimdress
It Figures Plus Size Retro Slender-Thighs Swimdress
I love this halter/baby-doll swimsuit. I'm not a big girl, but I do appreciate this on the plus-size model. I gives me that feeling that I used to get in my African dance class, where certain movements and garbs can only be done and worn by curvy girls. This swimsuit look is one of those that just can't be pulled off by a little girl like me. Just like I could never do those really awesome looking African dances without the package :) Big girls should be proud of their assets.

If you work in an office setting, you should try wearing suits like this. It's got that Coco Chanel put-together feeling. Suits like this are ease to pull off. Just make sure the jacket can be completely buttoned up for the perfect fit. Add a pretty scarf for some park.

I like this skirt for it's simplicity. A plus-size girl can carry it off with ease. Big girls can rock it too. The bottom does not tapper in with this straight cut which makes walking easy.
