I joined the Cult, and you will too.
Cult of California, that is. (Don’t worry, I’m neither a Raëlian or Mooney). Cult of California is the plus-size clothing line by designer Jen Wilder. (Another considered headline for this post- “I’m Wild for Wilder”). Filled with everything from edgy activewear to curve-hugging dresses, Wilder offers options not previously seen in the plus-size market.
So, when she sent me an Oil Foil tank and sequin-sleeved moto jacket I was practically chomping at the bit to wear them for an outfit post. Both the jacket and the tank are suuuuuper comfy, so, for once, I decided to make my entire outfit comfy-centric.
I yanked on my shape-slimming Hold Your Haunches leggings (which are amazing for smoothing any lumps and bumps, if you’re into that kinda thing), and laced (and Velcroed) up my INSANE new Nine West Nevan holographic/rose gold/studded/bedazzled/hidden wedge sneakers. These shoes… they’re something I only could have dreamt up in my wildest LSD induced dreams, and I love them oh so very much. The sunglasses were an obvious choice to complete the insanely comfy outfit. Don’t they just make me seem a bit… out there?
I guess I was brainwashed by the Cult after all.

I just can’t Stop Staring (And admit it, neither can you…)
Whenever I think of retro style done right, I think of Jasmin from Vintage Vandalizm (seriously, if you don’t know her blog, you’ve got to check her out!) I love her sense of style, how on point she always is, and how she is able to weave tiny modern-day touches into the occasional outfit.
So, when I received this flawless Stop Staring dress, I started pouring over my accessories to gather the most vintage-ish items I own to incorporate into my outfit. (Spoiler alert, I apparently own a lot less vintage than I thought.) So, I put my own twist on things, with my modern-day accoutrements, and hoped for the best.
Therefor, I bring you my best “Black Widow, did-she-or-did-she-not-kill-him, I-can’t-believe-she-wore-that-to-his-funeral” look. I hope to always look this inappropriate at the funerals of all my future husbands.
