Ootd 5 + Need a Trim

 This outfit has been my favorite for the past 3-4 months, end of summer beginning of Fall. (And these pictures were actually taken in the first week of October, sorry for the super late posts.) I'm in love with this hi-low death head moth Teenage Runaway top from Hot Topic. It's a XXL and I was SO PLEASED that it actually fit me, Hot Topic's "Jr" sizes usually run 1-2 sizes too small! Don't know if you know this, but I'm a HUGE fan of moths, I have 2 moth tattoos in fact, so this is by far my favorite top!

I love the contrast of the darker colored top with the pop of color on the bottom (which is usually the opposite in typical outfits). I think the purple jeans play nice with the bright colors in the moths.

Don't know if you can tell my my braid is actually "twist braid". It looks super awesome in person.

And as you can see my bangs were getting kind of long in the last pic. The day after I decided I should finally do something about that, I just wasn't quiet sure exactly what. 

First picture is the before. Second is the little trim. Third the final product.

Short enough to see my brows, but not too short to be Betty Paige worthy.

Bonjour. Como t'appelle tu?

Hello interwebz!

This is gonna be my sad attempt at a Fashion Blog. 

First to introduce myself and say some other junk.

So I got the idea to do this blog from seeing this young lady's: http://therubylotus.wordpress.com/

I like her unique style, plus if I met her in real life I'd be like, "You're strange.... I like you." and then give her an awkward hug. yep. ***Update:29June2012, Now that Ruby has dropped her fashion blog and become a "feminist" I don't suggest visiting her pages anymore unless you want her femanazi friends belittling you like they did me****

Anyways my name is Chelsie and I'm kind of really struggling will personal identity right now even though I'm 23 and I should have gotten over that in High School, but what-evs, I still look like I'm 17, so I'll just run with it. Being plus sized it's hard to be a trend setter or a fashionista or what have you; but I think that's one of the main reasons I want to start this blog. To show that fat/chubby people can do fashion just as well as stick people. It's gonna be hard, especially on a lower budget (no Torrid or LaneBryant prices for me, no sir), but I'm gonna try my damnedest, while trying to maintain my 24 hour job and 2 youtube channels. 

One thing I really pride in myself is how crafty I am, so that will definitely be an addition to this blog fursure. (thus tying in my youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/RagPrincessSews). I have a strong love for sewing as well, and I've been really urged to try to sew my own clothes, so lets see how that goes...

So now onto another subject that I will probably, maybe, idk address in this blog in the future is BANGS.

I recently cut mine super short. Like Betty Paige-ish style. Trying to be daring and edgy. But now that I look at them I HATE /slash/ Kind-of-like them. 

It might have to do with the in-between hair colors I have going on right now, but I'm not sure. I either 1) look at it and think "Gawd, my face looks so fat and round without longer bangs". 2) "They're so uneven and wierd" 3) "It'll look better if  I dye it black or back to brown, or should I do red again...?!" or 4) "Hey there Wino. Lookin' goooooood." >> Obviously talking about Winona Ryder from Beettlejuice.

Honestly I have no idea what to do with my bangs, but it'll work out eventually. I hope.
