Hi there! I’m Rory from Princess Escapades. I have been a follower of Jennifer since the beginning,
I think.
I love her style and wish I lived just a few states closer to California so we could be real-life friends instead of just bloggy friends.
I am a stay at home mom of 2 little girls. They are the best! And they keep me busy.
My husband travels a lot, so there aren’t many moments in my life that don’t include 2 little helpers.
Needless to say, I don’t have occasion to dress up much.
(Most days I don’t have occasion to get out of sweatpants, but that’s another story!)
I am an average gal. These days, according to statistics, that means size 14 or larger.
Until I lose the baby weight, I am going to have to learn how to dress to flatter these curves and stop trying to hide them.
(Or smash them under 2 layers of Spanx.)
I hate the mall.
I hate dressing rooms.
I hate getting in dressing rooms and realizing what size I really wear in jeans.
Mostly, I hate the selection of cute clothes out there for 20/30-something year old gals like me.
Have you been nodding your head along with me?
Then you are in luck! Jennifer has asked me to do a monthly post where I’ll share my finds.
I have done the legwork and you reap the benefits.
And, since we are a one-income family, most of my finds will be bargains!!
So, let’s get this party started, shall we??
What I’m wearing to Thanksgiving dinner:
This dress is truly magical. When I put it on, I swear I looked like I lost 15 pounds.
The cowl is just low enough to be flattering (yet still lays mostly flat), the skirt is just A-Line enough not to skim your booty, and the fabric is so comfortable.
It’s from Avenue.com which is a great online source (they have brick and mortars too, but not here.)
Wide calf boots. This isn’t just a larger gal problem, athletic gals have issues trying to get boots to fit their calves, too. Avenue has great, super comfy boots for calves up to 20″!
Pair them with some cute tights and you are ready to go!
Two more things you should know about me?
I’m a sucker for turquoise bracelets and leopard print shoes/bags.
The biggest splurge here is the jewelry, which you probably already own!
Heidi Daus “Sparkling Summer Chic” Cuff Bracelet
I hope you have enjoyed this guest post! See you next time. XO Rory
