self love – Alicia Out Loud

I cried at dinner tonight

I cried a little at dinner alone tonight….
And declined meeting new friends (I’m just as shocked as you are)

Why do you take so many pics of yourself, Alicia? Isn’t that a sign of narcissism? Are you just looking for likes? Nope. Let me explain (with hopefully not a lot of words) Because. I. Want. To. 😝jkjk but, besides that…. Too many days are now spent in jammies or yoga pants, lacking human interactionContinue reading “Selfie Sessions”

A Pickled Awakening

Y’all, that woman I have been searching for….she opened her eyes a little tonight. She woke up and stretched a little. She saw the sun peaking through the blinds. And someday soon (very soon), she is going to get out of that cave, put on the most obnoxiously bright dress and step back out into the sunshine.

Fancy’s Swimsuit Edition…..Wearing Whatever the Flip I want……..

Well. Here goes…the Fancy Pants swimsuit edition is now posted. And I’m actually pretty proud and excited about it. Check out my fabulous swimsuit finds, how much I love the way they hug my body, some little girls that helped me face the fear of posting this, AND how very little I care what the internet thinks about it!

Wearing the Things

America. Here’s the deal. I did NOT want to show you this outfit. As much as I love sharing myself, especially my closet, some aspects are a real struggle to put out there. The good days are good. People seem to align to your way of thinking and the interwebs join in chorus of agreementContinue reading “Wearing the Things”

Dear Guy Who Stood Me Up Tonight…..

To the guy who stood me up today: 😎 Thank you for doing that. No, really. I mean it. It’s been a rough week. I felt better enough to shower and curl my hair a little, line my lips and “smokey my eyes” for you. It was the first time this week that I feltContinue reading “Dear Guy Who Stood Me Up Tonight…..”

Tulle-Tide Carols

Tis the season…..for plaid, pearls, sparkly heels, AND A TULLE SKIRT that is to die for! Before I put this outfit together for my Christmas card, I looked everywhere for cares to give about how I might be perceived as an adult, plus sized lady in a tulle skirt. I looked high and low andContinue reading “Tulle-Tide Carols”

I Don’t Need You

I started out with this outfit solely to just throw something on and be present for a Monday. I actually think that I accidentally grabbed it in a pile of stuff from my mom’s the last time I was home to visit (sorry mom). But, for a Monday with little motivation, it would do. Plus,Continue reading “I Don’t Need You”

Casually Sequined

When is it ok to wear sequins to work? Answer: It is always ok to wear sequins to work. One of my fav go to casual outfits. Covered in feathers today and my hair is cooperating. It’s gonna be a fantastic Friday for sure! Great tops, fabulous old-school clock necklace and awesome chunky bracelet. Oh,Continue reading “Casually Sequined”
