Fat Fashion Thursday - We’re back!

Fat Fashion Thursday is back for another dose of hot fashion and animal-friendly accessories. Back by popular demand! Got inspired by some new stuff on the Nordstrom site and went from there. Hope you enjoy!

Bit o' bling

Who said bling can’t be chic? Super stylish with black and gray, and bold pops of color to set you apart. Top Svoboda Five Pocket Stretch Jeans ($128) with a Pleated Babydoll ($32) in a super-gorgeous kelly green and finish it off with the Svoboda ‘Natasha’ Knit Jacket ($158). Slide on some Groove Tender shoes ($32 on sale $15) and jazz up the whole look with metallics: Lily Earrings ($12) and a bejeweled Steve Madden Adora clutch ($58).

Spring is coming!

It’s been unseasonably warm here, which is making me yearn for knit dresses without tights. Spring is on the way (hurry up)! I just love the pattern and color in this Rachel Pally White Label Shirred Waist Tank Dress ($228). The shirred Empire waist is super flattering and gives you that structure up top while the skirt below is draped and easy to cover anything you feel iffy about. Throw a Freestyle Revolution Elvis Wash Denim Jean Jacket ($64 on sale $48) over it to keep away any chill and slide the super-comfortable Nine West Denham flats ($73) on your feet. I can totally see myself at the farmers market in this outfit, so why not carry a Marc by Marc Jacobs Standard Supply big tote ($148), big enough for whatever goodies you come across. With all the bold color everywhere else, I think clear accessories are the order here. How about a Clear bead & link bracelet ($9) and a Clear chunky bead necklace ($12) to finish it all up.

Dress to impress!

Meeting the parents for the first time? Got a lunch meeting with that new executive? Just feeling extra-sassy? This outfit can’t help but be taken seriously. The star piece is this Robbie Bee Circles Charmeuse Shirtdress ($88) which is perfectly cinched at the waist with adorable sleeve detail. Grab this awesome Queen handbag ($135 on sale $81) by Matt & Nat and throw on a pair of bold Kailey Patent Pumps ($20) for some serious appeal. For accessories it’s all about simple, gorgeous luxury. Green jewelry like this David Yurman Olive Quartz Cushion cocktail ring ($2100) and these Ippolita Green-Gold Topaz drop earrings ($890) are sure to make everyone you come across green with envy.

Yay! I missed FFT! I don't know where to begin. I've been thinking that once the weather gets warmer, I need to wear more dresses and less slacks and jeans. I always I'm gonna do it but I'm actually gonna follow through this Spring/Summer.

I love your style... however... being heavily tattooed.. both arms, 1 leg, half back etc.. I think most would look stupid on me. :( Or... other people would think I look stupid haha

I have a pretty huge chestpiece and I don't think I look stupid in stuff like this! :(

Tattooed people can be creative too!

Hooray for FFT being back! I love that first outfit - I love kelly green and don't see it nearly enough. :) And the yellow flats - so cute!

I love all those clothes. I'm really digging the green dress.

The Robbie Bee Charmuse Shirt dress is beautiful! IMHO The shoes are not the right shade and would look wrong with the satin tie. More taupe or even camel color but not too light and less yellow. Lets not even talk about the hand bag lol No snarkyness just personal taste.

The other two outfits are VERY pretty though! Nice selections

Damn, so much cuteness! I'm loving the yellow flats & wishing the black knit jacket came in my size! Yay for Jessica; Svoboda is at Nordies now!
