The Gap + Winners + H&M = OOTD

NOTHING worn in this post is from a “plus-sized store”!

I found such luck at the following shops: H&M, Winners and The Gap recently.  And here are my finds from these spots into one complete outfit post!

high-low tunic top Petite Plus, Meow!
Me trying hard to show you the back of this top. I just love how the hi-low hemline gives this tunic top a dramatic look from behind.

Let’s talk about this hi-low tunic I found at Winners!  For us petite (short) babes, the hi-low look isn’t always easy to pull off.  But luckily once I washed this top it shrunk-up just enough  that it was no longer touching the ground!

Originally, i found this top  a bit ‘blah’ as the length of the ‘low’ part of the shirt fell past my waist and made me look frumpy.

Soo I did a lil’ sewing-fix myself creating a bit of a rise at one side of the top in the front – voila!   Perfect-For-Moi! ❤

And now… my bottom half 😉  I don’t wear pants often.  I’m more of a skirts and dresses kinda girl.

I do enjoy leggings, especially during winter as they help keep my cute summer dresses in closet rotation.  But I never really wear then as ‘pants’.

That was until I found these great ankle zip point leggings from The Gap!!!

The fabric is made of: 4% Spandex, 38% Modal, 58% Cotton.  Which makes these leggings oh so comfortable, while looking perfectly fitted and rich.

I’m wearing an XL – I was thrilled that all of my ample booty fit into them. 😛

And it actually hit me just at the ankles and sat above my waist perfectly!

As usual, now that you know What I Wore... let me tell you about What I Did while wearing this outfit…

Not only was it I able to wear this casual look to the office, but it let me do double-duty into a night of dancing too!

Y’all know I’m a Lindyhopping fool!  (Dunno? Click here, here, here)

But I’ve recently started to explore other types of partner dancing.  Have you heard of Fusion Dancing?

It is where dancers from a mix of different dance backgrounds come together – to create a fusion of partnered social dance!!!

Everyone is welcome, regardless of experience.  This means…Zoukers, Bluesers, Swingers (you know what we mean), Improvers, Contemporaries, Salseros, Kizombies, Tangueros … this is a place for everyone to come together and play on a dance-floor.    Visit Dance Alchemy’s new FB page for more deets if you’re interested!

Here are  a few snaps of me….getting my Fusion on in my OOTD above 😉

I've been chubby-curvy-plus-sized my entire life. Standing at a height of 5'2 and with a darker complexion, it has always been a challenge finding outfits or "looks" that really suit me. Living in the fashionable city of Toronto since birth, with a solid career has finally allowed me to embrace my love of pretty fashions in clothing, shoes and everything in between.
