Go ahead. Lean in and look a little closer! This was my outfit for day number two of hosting Dia Stylist Orientation. The guy in the elevator with me was impressed... so impressed that he insisted on lifting his shirt and showing me his new chest tattoo of a naked woman.

If you can get over the fact this is a selfie and my laptop cord is making an appearance, this is a pretty great little outfit.

It's Saturday, boo! If you have a non-traditional work schedule and this means nothing to you, know that I worked all day today and hit magic hour for a few poses in this fit.

People lost their minds over this video. It comes after she was recently upset when she was regarded as a plus celebrity in a high profile magazine which also had some feathers ruffled in the plus community.

I promise some outfit posts will be coming back, this blog/work/single life has got me like whoa lately.

I made a statement a few months back that harnesses would start hitting the mainstream fashion scene more often- and sure enough, I've seen them (and harness inspired bras) more often lately.
