I’ve been gone for awhile haven’t I? *sigh* Truth is I’ve gained 30+ pounds and I was ashamed. I know I’m supposed to be part of the Fat Acceptance movement, but c’mon, tell me I’m not the only one whose self esteem takes a hit when they gain significantly. I still like the look of my body, its just the other things that come with the weight. The clothes not fitting. When you try to turn a corner, and you touch the corner, when you didn’t before.

But I’m back. In all my FAT glory. I thought about it, and I realized: you all know I’m fat. The whole blog is devoted to fat, modest, fashion. So what exactly was I hiding? Well, that’s over now. I’m not saying I’ll be here everday, but I’ll update when I can. And thanks to those of you who stuck with me while I sorted out my priorities.

 The past few days I’ve had a bad case of writer’s block, and it’s been terrible trying to write anyways. I’ve written some truly crappy stuff. Today, finally, inspiration has struck me, and I have some ideas for where the story should be going to get to the next big event. Hopefully, those ideas transfer well onto paper.

Sorry I’ve been away. My husband and I are writing novels. Yes, you read that right. My husband is trying to finish a full novel in 31 days. I’m just trying to finish a novel. The goal is to get published. I’ve let a few people read what I have so far, and the response has been good enough to hope for publication.  Writing is fantasic for the creative side, but not so good for the fashion blog. I tend to stay in my pajamas or yoga pants and a tee for days. I will try to make the effort to put an outfit up here, especially when I have more free time on the weekends.

How about you reader? What have you been up to in my absence?

Like I promised, this is last post’s dress worn inside out.  I wish I’d had the foresight to buy this dress in every color. Oh well, I’ll just have to wear this one to death. Are you sick of seeing my boots yet? I’ve been on a boot kick- especially with tights or knee socks. It must be a fall things. Fall = boots? I dunno. What is your favorite thing to wear repeatedly during fall?

I love this dress and some tights. Add a shirt -BAM instant outfit. So comfy too. And did I mentioned the dress is reversible? Well it wasn’t meant to be, but I just used a seam ripper to take out the tags on the back, and side, and yup, the dress looks great on both sides. Tomorrow, I will wear the dress the other way, so be on the lookout for that!

I told ya’ll awhile back that I had joined Weight Watchers. Well, I quit. I haven’t lost weight. In fact, I’ve gained, and am 4 pounds away from my highest weight ever. And except for a little ill will towards my tummy area, I love my body and it’s size.I don’t think I am unhealthy just because I am big.

 I am, however, out of shape. If you read my personal blog, you know our family went on a hike not too long ago. I was winded about half way through. It was frustrating for my husband, who wanted to have a much longer hike, but I couldn’t keep going. I’m going to try to exercise more, which I usually find difficult in the fall and winter months. What do you to get in/stay in shape during fall and winter?

Sorry for the long absence. I haven’t been feeling like my old self. Mostly, I’ve been lounging around in jeans and a tee, and I figure nobody wants to see that everyday.

Today has been a crap day for me. I was sick all last night. Sick today too. Some kind of cold/flu-ey thing.

I contemplated not getting dressed today, but I was tired of wearing the same pajamas for *mumble mumble* days.

How are you all? hopefully not sick! Take care!
