TOP | LEGGINGS | SHOES

I can talk all day about fashion… whether it’s out of the box style, high end investment pieces, trends, or the best jeans. But let’s get real for a second. Sometimes - a lot of times - you just need the perfect long tee and leggings combo. I think I’ve found the most magical, comfiest outfit you can run around in or stay at home in (and still feel dressed).

WHAT I WORE // DISTRESSED DENIM + LEOPARD BOOTIES

JACKET // TOP // LEGGINGS // BOOTS // SUNNIES // TOTE

First of all… let me just get this out of the way. The cut-out side of these boots IS SLAYING ME. It is so flattering what it does to your ankle and your leg. I’m in love! I’m also utilizing the theory that “leopard is a neutral” here - and in this case, I thought it brought out the warm colors of the shirt perfectly.

I rarely throw a cropped jacket with leggings, but today I’m showing you it’s possible!

HOW TO STYLE SPANX FAUX LEATHER LEGGINGS // style session

If you haven’t seen yet, SPANX has a MAJOR DEAL on colored faux leather leggings right now. I got these for $67 and I’m wearing the 2X. I was scared they’d be a little small but they aren’t - they work on me! For reference I’m 18/20 and 230 lbs, 5’8.

These can be intimidating to style, I totally get it. Hopefully I can give you some inspiration! T

MY HOLIDAY WISHLIST 2018 // round 1

Here is my holiday wishlist, however… let’s be honest: This is the first of many, I’m sure. ;) Click on the photos to shop! I love all of these things for different reasons… but two things to note: the handbags are on major discount, and the “spanx arm tights” are a genius idea to me. You know all those times you’ve wanted to wear a sleeveless dress but you didn’t love your arms, but you also didn’t want to wear something over it? DING. DING. DING. They’re on super sale too!

WHAT TO WEAR WITH LEGGINGS

most asked question ever - which I totally understand why! It can be hard to find tops that are long enough or flattering with leggings.

Here are my current picks that you could wear with leggings. Most of these items are on mega sale right now (it’s like the pre-black friday sales are crazy out of control this year?!! - not complaining!!)

THE 5 ESSENTIAL MATERNITY CLOTHES TO BUY

Pregnant and overwhelmed with all of the different maternity options out there (or lack thereof, in some cases)?! GIRL, I GOT YOU. This time - I decided to try something different. I decided to buy JUST the basics, and all the other clothes I need I will size up. And guess what? After I have this baby… I will have an AWESOME POSTPARTUM WARDROBE of regular clothing that isn’t skin tight while I’m getting back to my regular mom-bod.

Here's what you actually need to have when it comes to maternity clothes - for everything else, just try to be INTENTIONAL about what you’re buying and how long it will grow with your belly and whether or not you’ll be able to wear it after baby.

WHAT I WORE // CAMO + PLAID TRENCH

Layering and mixing patterns is my JAM, you know this! I really don't like playing by the rules... so here I am, throwing on a plaid trench coat over a camo shirt jacket and calling it a day. If you've been following along with my life updates, than you probably know I've been working a little bit...

LEGGINGS STYLED 2 WAYS

FTC DISCLAIMER: I have partnered with Macy's & NY Collection to showcase their latest plus size collection. Thank you for the support for House of Dorough, I only work with brands I love and believe in! #NYCollection #macyssponsored

You guys KNOW that I am all about wearing leggings year-round, especially while I'm pregnant. I do appreciate a good pair of jeans, don't get me wrong. But these days - I need the most comfortable option out there!

And, as I've said before: Leggings are hard to style - I totally get it.

HOW TO STYLE YOUR SPANX LEGGINGS

I've gotten this question a MILLION times recently so I thought it might be a good thing to share! Leggings are hard to style - because you don't want to look like you shouldn't be wearing them as pants, but... you totally are and that's okay. I AM ALL FOR THE #LEGGINGSAREPANTS movement, btw. You just have to know how to wear them the right way.
