Summer Trends Week, Day 6: Bright Bottoms

I've read the other participants in this challenge complaining that they never wear bright bottoms because they have "big bottoms" and don't want to accentuate them. These are the only bright bottoms I own, I admit, but only because I'm just recently getting into colours other than black, grey and red. There is nothing wrong with having a big bottom! I have a big bottom but it's also strong as heck and I love that I'm getting more leg and ass muscles because of roller derby. My bottom can knock your bottom on its ass! Literally! Why would I be ashamed of that? Embrace your "big" bottoms ladies, and give them a nice squeeze now and again. It's never as big as you think it is, and I'm sure there are people out there who appreciate it more than you do.

Really, do I need to play this song? Because I can not lie!

Neon Attack

A few weekends ago, I had the pleasure of participating as an official at a huge roller derby tournament in our nation's capital. There was a black and white dress code for all of us, and for some reason I took issue with that. Now, normally I prefer to be in all black... but as soon as someone told me I had to be, well this is what happens when you attend the group meeting the night before:

I have no idea why I'm standing like this, but apparently I wanted you all to know that I have booty?

And an extra bonus baby picture, because this just proves that when your outfit is this fun, you have to have fun while wearing it.

Ooh, but I totally forgot that I switched to orange wedges before leaving the house!

Shirt: Old Navy

Shorts: Joe

Shoes: Old Navy but I switched to Nine West for extra brightness

Necklace and bracelet: Child gifted

Polish: That Sally Hansen yellow stuff that I hate

I stayed with my BFF that night, and when I went to meet her for dinner I mentioned the fact that my outfit was rebelling against the dress code and that I was wearing every bright thing I own even though it didn't match. And she said, "I noticed that it didn't match" and I was all "Bish, plz!" I defy you to tell me that I look bad. I might hurt your eyes, but I was strutting this. So there. :P Haters gonna hate.

Fruits Week Day 2: Watermelon

I think I forgot to link this yesterday, I'm participating in Fruits Week over at Megan Mae Daily. Day two is for the colour palette inspired by watermelon. I just ate some, so now I can post some! To be honest, these tights only lasted as long as the first time I had to pee. I stripped them off and left them in a sweaty heap in the corner of my bathroom.

Tank: Mom'ed (Faded Glory I think? Is that American Walmart?)

Shorts: Joe

Tights: Zellers

Trouser Socks: Payless

Boots: Rocket Dog

Lipstick: Maybeline Coral Crush

I despise shorts for the stark reality that finding a pair that fits and doesn't look weird (because to me these are all kinds of wrong) or feel weird (they feel weird, too) is way too hard for a thick person. Yet, I've worn these twice this week because they're pink. Not just pink, but PINK! I'm pretty sure my thong was hanging out the back all day, which is especially wrong because I took my son to have his picture taken for the newspaper in an art gallery with bunch of old people. He won a writing award, btw. Braggy parenting moment. :) Usually when I'm going to an event of that nature I wear a dress and cover my tattoos, but there was no time for that today. Notice the curly mop head! But this is me, imperfectly perfect and not going to change.

That's all,

P!nk

I had a huge head start on Fruits Week last week, and am almost finished with the project other than the posting which I usually do all at once on Sundays. But! Then I bought these shorts on the weekend which are perfect for "Watermelon" so I think I'm going to remix them for Watermelon day and just post my original watermelon-inspired outfit tomorrow or something. It's just a little strange; though I love short skirts, these short shorts are creeping me out!

Bracelet: Gifted from the six year old

I feel like all of a sudden my life has gone technicolour. Heck, next time I might even try to wear everything I own that's bright at the exact same time. I'm curious as to how that would look. We shall see.

That's all,
