My least favorite of all the colors. Not just the Fall 2012 Pantone colors. But of all the colors, this shade of purple is up there with my least favorite. I’ve never been very big on pastels, and I kind of find them to be puny, but I suppose there are people out there that like them and look good in them … I’m just not one of them. Okay that’s not totally true, I like pastels when they’re in the details, but I just can’t get used to the idea of myself in pastel all over. That’s all.
Anyway, if pastels are totally your thing, then you’re in luck! Because Rhapsody Lilac Purple is one of the colors that’s officially a part of the 2012 Pantone Colors for Fall. There are some plus size retailers who are using this shade of purple as the main color – not just an accent. In this post, I’m giving you the best of plus size “rhapsody.”

i got into the spirit of fourth of july yesterday and put on this jones new york sheath dress in red. i love, love this dress. it’s appropriate for work, for a lunch date, for brunch or for a night out. so versatile and such a great pop of color.

a lot of ladies probably wore some sequin tops over the holidays. a skirt might be the perfect item for valentine’s day.
loving this tiered skirt from city chic. it’s a little frou frou, lacy, perfect for valentine’s day, and perfect to wear year-round. both leggings and tights would look great under this with flats, as seen in this photo, or bare legged with a pair of boots when spring starts peeking around the corner.
as we continue chatting about valentine’s day around this joint, i thought i’d share some dresses that i love love.
say hello to your inner ballerina! this little dress is from asos curve (obvi), an dit’s got an AWESOME LACE SKIRT on it. i wish you could buy just the skirt without the dress attached … i’m a sucker for a ton of tulle.

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.
