i just spent about 2 weeks in north carolina to train for my new job with this SWEET social media management software company called expion. (i’m so very excited about working there, but that’s a story for another post, although it’s closely related, okay moving on.) (oh, and bee tee dubs, if you work in social media or work for a really big brand, they might be interested in the tool. just get in touch with me, and i’ll be happy to give you the low down on who we’re good for, (we’ve been really, REALLY good for loads of gigantic brands, and we’re only getting better) and let’s see how we can help you.) ok so back to the wardrobe topic. *phew*

tuesdays is still weigh-in day, but i’ve been really busy, so obviously i haven’t shared how far i’ve come since i posted the first weigh-in day on jan 29. i haven’t really come far at all in the weight department. in fact, after having lost a few more lbs, i gained them back over the last week. i’m struggling, as usual. i’ve been struggling at the same weight for so long now that i can’t remember how long it’s been. there have been so many false starts. i get caught up in living life and don’t track my food or plan things, and then i just find myself eating more than i really actually want of something that’s not really that tasty. sometimes eating is just a knee-jerk reaction for me.

It’s not really a secret that I have screwed up feet. I talk about my poor right foot all the time, and I pray regularly that the hurt will subside. It’s also probably not a secret that I’ve always been an advocate of CUTE sneakers with dresses. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it in a casual environment, and I’ve been getting away with it for years because I don’t care if anyone else thinks it’s cute. Don’t be scared to try something out just because someone else doesn’t have the guts to try it themselves. So, I went to Foot Locker to see what kind of cuteness they might have in store for fall that would go with some new dresses I’ve been eyeing. Here’s what I found!

When I shared with you my Instagram photos earlier in the month, I got a great reaction! So, I thought I would share again so that you can see what I’ve been up to. Follow me here!

i’ve got muscular legs. and it seems like the boot options are getting sexier for me every year, which i’m very excited about. now, depending on how large your muscles (or your non-muscles, no judgement!) are … a lot of over the knee boots are not doing the trick for you. cause they ain’t doin the trick for me. that’s why i like to hunt down, every season, the wide calf boots that i’m just JONESING to have in my life. have you found any boots that are killing you un-softly recently? here’s what i’ve found while getting my wardrobe ready for fall.

who am i? petey pab motha … oops @nettaP. southern with a side of city: hush puppies and leather jackets.
i love to talk, first of all. which is why i write the content on this blog. i process the world through words and laughter. my second love is probably technology because it brings laughter and discussion and connection. and my third love is the pursuit of becoming a stronger individual while respecting my strong need for justice.
i'm learning to be myself faithfully and to trust myself with confidence.
i write a lot about being fat and feelings. i also write a lot about food and fitness. and i also write about fashion because it can be hard to clothe yourself appropriately at every hour of your life.
