This is a weird one for a fashion post but not unusual for a wastedfashion post. I wore this outfit last Sunday when T and I took Max the Maximum Dog out to Red Rock Canyon for a leash-free run. Yes, I hiked for about 40 minutes along a trail that was a prehistoric seabed. It was a moderate hike and we didn’t finish the trail. It was relatively easy with mild slopes so I could do it in this outfit. Heehee…
I strongly recommend these boots for the style, fit and price (I paid USD60). They’re so easy to walk in and also, check out Red Rock Canyon too! I should do a post on our hike soon.
Hello it’s Wednesday… Sorry, I forgot I wanted to do What The Frock Wednesdaysagain. HAH!
Thanks to the kind people at WE LOVE COLORS, I am in love with my brand new Plus Sized Splash Color Tights! I was looking for something blue and not quite galaxy print because I’ve already got 2 pairs in the footless style. This is colour #2132. size A/B. For reference, I’m a UK16/18 and I’m 5′ 0″ (or 1.53m). The tights are a little too long and comes up to just under my boobs but this happens to me all the time because I’m Plus Petite. As with the other WE LOVE COLORS stockings, this has a very strong built-in gusset – which is very important to me as most hosiery manufacturers seem to neglect it. The crotch gusset reduces the stress caused by tugging when you pull them up, so the tights lasts longer and doesn’t rip. Who wants crotchless stockings??? At the same time, I feel that it eliminates the gross camel-toe effect.
Anyway, thank you Sian Eng again for today’s photos.

And thank you, Michelle for these pictures! You look sooooo great for someone who turned 51 last Saturday! May we all have zest and energy like you!!
Wow! 151 posts. I am still amazed. This transformation from jeans, t-shirt & sneakers to dressy dress-up daily is a little crazy for something that happened just under 2 years ago.
Pink & Black is possibly my latest fav combination
Trying to look demure... Is it working?
Flared skirts are more forgiving of my lack of hips
Ok let's give being demure one more try

You do realise that this is a very close variation to my Oct 1st Children’s Day outfit right? The tops and skirts are from the same range in their own brands! See here!
OMG! I think I bloated overnight. Why am I so swollen in this photo?
My nails are OPI What a Doll!
Yes, it's an unflattering outfit

oooh and my new VIVA GLAM CYNDI lipstick! I hardly wear lipstick, mostly just gloss but this is CYNDI LAUPER endorsing it… Thanks Tamares for the lipstick & photos!
I love the top and the skirt but obviously, I shouldn’t wear them together. I think I’ll try the top with another black skirt. My paunch is showing and I look swollen. I will redo these pieces. SOON.
Pink & Black... I love the combination
HAHA! Here’s an edit. I threw on a long cardigan from MISS SELFRIDGE and it immediately slim-lined my silhouette! TAH DAH! Problem temporary erased.
Add a long cardigan... and VOILA! Bulges & lumps hidden!
