#OOTD October

-
 I am finally embracing fall now that I have a few staple items in my wardrobe.  From radiation and cancer treatment it has put my body into early menopause and am running hot!  So I am loving having a light weight jean jacket to throw on and then quickly tear off during a hot flash, ha ha!  This one is from Old Navy. My sweater underneath is from the LOFT from years ago, but I found a similar one currently there the Stitchy Sweater.  These BP Moto leggings come in regular and plus sizes from Nordstrom.  And I live through my shoes as a skater in my Old Skool Vans.








I love that I can still wear my Birkenstocks in October!  These are the Gizeh style.  My sweater and top are both Free People.  The sweater is from last year, but this one is on my wish list!  Also my shirt was a gift, but here is a similar one.  And of course my favorite skimmers by HUE, all sizes are still in stock at DSW.











Sport clothes is what I used to live it, so they hold a special place in my heart.  My top is my favorite v-neck by Halogen at Nordstrom.  Zella leggings in space dye, they currently don't have this fabric pattern, but any stretch pants by Zella are amazing in my mind.  And my Nike Frees which are my go to, these are a similar style and on my wish list as well.











I think I lived in this next outfit for a few days it was so comfortable!  This sweatshirt has lived with me for 3 summers now, it's Calson from Nordstrom and sold out, but I found one for only $20 at Nordstrom Rack from another brand.  These leggings feel like I am wearing no pants at all, that's how comfortable they are.  I actually checked one time . . . I needed more coffee.  They are from Target's new brand Wild Fable.  They used to come in regular sizes and plus, but the plus size sold out.  Fear not, they come in regular and plus sizes in red!  My shoes again were my Nike Frees.




I got this outfit idea from another Lymphie Lady @mywardrobe_at43, check her out on Instagram for some style inspiration.  Again my jean jacket from Old Navy.  My dress is another item I have had for years now.  Before summer next year buy this dress, because by the time summer comes it is SOLD OUT!  As I am typing this is shows one left at Nordstrom Rack in a size small.  It is also available in plus sizes currently.  My booties are my LOVE, LOVE, LOVE item.  They are a take on a Free People Bootie, but about $170 cheaper.  When I first looked at them they were sold out in wides.  Well it looks like that has happened again, but you can be notified when your size comes back in stock.  Read this carefully, this is a PSA announcement: when you get that notification purchase immediately (in every color!)  You will thank me later.  Wenda Cut Out Bootie.

A leg by any other name would be as big.

I guess it's time to introduce Bertha, my previous post might make a little more sense.  Some women name their boobs, I name my legs.  My skinny "normal" leg is Tiffany who I imagine would be a cheerleader and a runner.  And then there is my lymphedema leg Bertha, who bakes likes science.  Ok I know that is so stereotypical, but it's makes me laugh and makes other people feel awkward.  I mean they named a golf club "Big Bertha" so really I'm just following suit.  Bertha has been with me since 2007 and isn't going away anytime soon, so it was only proper she be named.  We have a love hate relationship, but in the end she is a big part of my life and according to my husband "his favorite leg in the world."  Yes you can "awwww" now.  And yes I hit the jackpot with him.  XOXO-Allie

Loving Life In Wide Width Winter Boots

Winter in the PNW means rain, rain, a randomlly sunny day that is like 70 degrees, followed by-you guessed it rain.  Where I live in Oregon we do have some light dustings of snow and every 2-3 years it "dumps snow" which means a couple of inches.  Basically the whole city shuts down when this happens and we all hunker in for the 1-2 days it last.  It's the one time a year I love our steep driveway, it's the best sledding hill!  Winter and rain boots has been one of the most difficult items to find that fit Bertha .  Here are a few style I found that should work for us Lymphies and Lippys. xo-Allie Sorel Out and About Waterproof Bootie Living in Oregon and as a soccer Mom I need a good basic boot to keep Bertha dry.  I especially like these boots, because they are lace up, so you can adjust them if you only have one "Lymphie foot."  This is the boot I've had for the past few years.  I read reviews and decided to size up 2 sizes to a 12 and I'm glad...

Ode to Birkenstocks

So when I was 19 and had no clue what real life was.  My 3 guys friends and I (I should note I was a tomboy not a floozy) headed to the beach for a day of relaxing, because that's what every 19 years old needs, right?!  We walked by a Birkenstocks store and I said to one of them, "I remember those, I think I want to get a pair!"  The goof of our group, not hearing my previous comment pointed at the store. "Birkenstocks!  Hippy shoes!" For fear I would be excommunicated from our group-ok maybe that's too dramatic.  For fear of being made fun of, I quietly walked passed the store with only the longing of Birkenstocks in my heart, not on my feet.  Oh 19 year old me, if I only knew being made fun of for shoes would be the least of my worries in life.  One of those three guys in now my husband and was sure to remind me of that day when I purchased my Birks. But seriously, how awesome is it that Birkenstocks have some back into style!  Or maybe they n...
