Striped Inspiration

I saw this on J's Everyday Fashion at http://jseverydayfashion.com/home/everyday-fashion/preppy-stripes and instantly fell in love with the outfit below.  I recreated the outfit for plus size.  I was so thrilled with the result.  I wore it to Sephora.  It was my first time.  Sephora was AWESOME!  I got me a Bare Minerals starter kit.  It was on sale for 20% off.  Booyah!  I was in and out in under 20 minutes..  They know their stuff. 

I was stopped twice today to tell me they loved my outfit.  I was asked specifically where I got the shorts.  Talk about good for self-esteem.  I've been really sick for the past month while recovering from infectious bronchitis so anything that I can have to give me a boost is just fine with me. 

In the picture, you can tell that I am bloated especially in the face from the prednisone. My face looks like a hippity hop.   Yeah, that doesn't do anything to make me feel well.  Add to that, the sleepless nights that have created bags under my eyes that no amount of make up can cover up. 

I really love this outfit and it will be out again!
