Hi everyone,
Long time no see! I’m still over on YouTube making regular videos — at least two a week! I hope you will join me there or follow on Instagram.
That said, I’m here to share a cute top from SimplyBe! This western denim top was gifted to me from SimplyBe’s team as part of a multi-influencer styling collab. I know Hailey of Discourse of a Divine Diva posted her look today, so check hers out too!
I’m wearing the SimplyBe top in a size 28. When I first thought about styling it, I knew I wanted to do some kind of tied waist. I’ve been a little obsessed with that look. My first inclination was to go denim on denim and pair this top with a lighter color jean bottom, but then I knew that accessories would have to bring the outfit to life. That made me change direction and go with a different texture. I paired it with a ribbed knit pencil skirt by Leith in a 4X, faux leather booties by Old Navy, and this felt hat from Torrid. I loved the mix of textures and felt that this choice brought much more depth to the look.
This top is so versatile, and I can’t wait to see how everyone else styled it! Let me know in the comments how you would wear it! <3
It is so good to hear from you again. I’m sorry I haven’t found you on YouTube yet. I’m over there a lot watching beauty gurus. I am no longer a plus size! I have been very successful in losing 37 pounds. It has been a very doable lifestyle change and I am no longer bulging out of a size 18. I can’t believe that the womens plus size no longer fits me but falls off of me. I am a regular 14 and I bought a regular size large button down shirt the other day. it has been very good for my health and self esteem. I went to Weight Watchers in late July not knowing whether I would be able to do it and just fail in that like everything else. But I haven’t failed yet! You were one of my inspirations for a very long time. There is a big world out there and we are made of all shapes and sizes and the struggle for self acceptance and self love are so real. You have always been one of those women who I admire and has moved through school and gotten a wonderful education and are able to teach others. I am so glad we can all celebrate together at whatever stage we are in in life. We are women who have blazed a trail. I look forward to seeing you on YouTube. I plan to like and ring that bell!
So happy to hear from you! You have been missed!
