Leggings,Plus Legging,Top,Jacket,Similar Jacket,Shoes,Sunglasses

Starting out this week in style . . because lets me real I'll be in sweats tomorrow.  But, that is what's so great with these Spanx Faux Leather Leggings, you can have the style and comfort at the same time!  There are so many ways to style these leggings, but my favorite thing about them is not just that they keep my Mom Bod in check, but they are so comfortable even if I dress them up I'm not sacrificing my love for comfort.  Bonus, right now Zappos has some colors on sale!  That's also where my Free People top is from as well and also on sale.  This top is a Fall staple for me to layer or just wear. It's stretchy, warm and long enough to cover my bum, so I can wear leggings out and about.

I'm beyond excited to wear these booties again, yay for wide widths!  For years I could never hop of the Fall bandwagon.  While women around me adorned their blanket scarves and drank their Pumpkin Spice Lattes while sporting cute boots I hid in my sport clothes and could never find a shoe that looked as cute as a boot with fall clothes.  No more, even thought I'm not a PSL lover I am so excited to have found these booties, they really have opened up my wardrobe and are the cherry on top of most of my Fall outfits.  These jeggings pretty much go with everything and are on sale and stocked in all regular sizes right now.

I'm trying to hold on to this look as long as I can.  I saw a meme the other day that said Oregon really has 12 seasons, so right now we are in "false fall" which means we still have "second summer" to look forward to, then "actual fall."  This dress is sadly out of stock, but I included a link to a similar one.  And the sandals become apart of me during the summer, early fall and late spring.  Or I could be like everyone else in PNW and wear them with socks, ha ha.

I bought these leggings last year and posted about them in my post "Camouflaging Bertha."  I'm so happy Target brought them back this year and with so many different colors.  Also I love that they offer them in plus sizes.  Below I've added all of the links.  The rest of my outfit links are above under my picture.

Not to end my post on a depressing note, but here is my "mourning the end of summer" look.  My kids went back to school last week and I am for sure in a funk having them gone all day.  I know this too shall pass and I'll get back into our routine and into my own groove, but right now I'm just missing my babes.  The house is oddly quiet and my dog is not much of a talker.  These are Zella's "Live In Leggings."  And that's just what there are.  Whether I'm cleaning at home, running errands or throw a dress over them for a night out I really do live in these leggings . . good thing I have two pairs.  Thanks for reading!  I have a few finds I'm excited to share, so stay tuned!  xoxox-Allie

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...
