Valentine’s Day 2017

So, I’m usually not that girl. Valentine’s Day isn’t usually a big deal for me. If my husband got me some flowers and a cookie and cream Hershey bar I’d be completely content. This year I decided to do something different and actually care about Valentine’s Day. I wanted to get excited and plan an outfit for our dinner.

In a previous post, I posted some dresses that gave me some inspiration with the off the shoulder trend. I had been looking all over for the perfect off the shoulder top that wasn’t too revealing, because my shoulders are definitely not my best asset. For a full week I searched for possible contenders and finally found one with Society Plus. I paired the shirt with a flowery flare skirt and some blush colored Badgley Mischka heels. I felt so feminine and pretty in this outfit. I hope you guys like it and get some inspiration of your own. It doesn’t have to be Valentine’s to dress up. 

Society + is an online plus size retailer. Their clothes are very fashion forward and they offer choices for plus size shoppers that are often neglected by straight size retailers. Their sizing is absolutely true to size so there’s no big scary moment when you try it on. I collaborated with this on this outfit to show that plus is absolutely fabulous. Check out the links below to the items from my outfits along with other sale offers.

What Hair Characteristics ACTUALLY Matter?

So many people are overly concerned about their curl pattern. I can’t even count how many YouTube videos and picture charts I have seen that are focused solely on one’s curl pattern to determine a hair regimen or product suggestions. 4C, 3A, 3C, 4A, 4B, etc.…is all quaternary in determining the best hair care practices and products.Outside of styling, this really is not a hair trait that is an important contributor to you overall hair health. The characteristics that are important are:

A person with normal density has about 2,200 strands of hair per square inch.(The picture below is a great visual representation of varying degrees of density even though it is depicting wig densities)
