Glam It Up

December is the holiday month where I am from. We have Sinterklaas on december 5th, Christmas on December 25th & 26th (weird that The Netherlands has 2 Christmas days huh) and of course New years eve to end this month.



Last year we didn't do anything on these days, in fact I think we were in a grocerystore at midnight hehe.
But this year it is going to be different, we are invited to a Secret Santa Party and that party has a theme. This years theme is "A December To Remember", the dress code is winter formal.
I chose this dress from H&M (years back) and paired it with my new blazer from JCP (my only black Friday find).

I love the style of the dress, it's a babydoll with a nice highneckline. It looks classy. I paired it with shiny earrings and a dark make-up look.

I love this dress, when I saw it hanging on the rack I knew we would be 'besties'.

It is so out of my comfort zone but I love it! I am not a big fan of prints and patterns but I have come to appreciate them more and more. I like that it is black and white. The only issue I might have is that it won’t look good on me in the wintertime. Right now I have a tan from the perfect California weather, but in the wintertime I could be part of the corpse! 

I chose this dress cause it represents me. I am young, fun and fat!

                               Dress: Ross 3x - Leggings: JMS 2x - Shoes: Thrifted
                               Belt: Torrid        -            Hair piece and earrings: F21

Who would've thought that I would wear a dress like this, few years ago I didn't like to wear leggings and as of today I want to live in them! I don't like to show my arms, but this is a new era, so what the heck! We go all out in this post. 3 things that I am uncomfortable with are exposed. 

Arms, legs and hair up!

It's Melicious Time

This is my first post, kind of scary to put myself out there. For the whole world to see. I am a plus size girl and I am not ashamed anymore!! I grew up in a small town in The Netherlands. Forced to wear clothes that were not my style or for my age. Not cute at all!
2 years ago I was browsing and I stumbled upon some plus size blogs. All these girls were so comfortable with showing their gorgeous bodies. Not ashamed of anything. I promised myself that I want to be like that. I want to be the girl that can walk down a boulevard with confidence and with flair.

People don’t understand it when I tell them that I don’t feel comfortable around ‘skinny’ girls, I feel like a giant (it doesn’t help that I am 6 feet tall (1.83cm)). I’ve had friends in the past that told me that I should stop looking at those big girls, cause why was I talking myself into a depression. But they don’t understand that these girls are my motivation to accept for who and what I am. Cause this is not going to change.

It took me a while to get the confidence and the motivation to start. But here I am. It’s Melicious time!!!
