T-Shirts for Sale!
I mentioned before that I was working on silk screening t-shirts by hand as my summer project. I really enjoy doing it. It's relaxing, and I get to work with inks.
I put some of the shirts for sale in my Etsy store. I have sizes S-XXL available. If someone would like a larger shirt or custom color combination, hit me up on twitter.
I'm going to make another design this weekend, and I'll put them up when they're finished.
Size Chart:
S: Chest 34"-36" Waist 30"-32"
M: Chest 38"-40" Waist 32"-33"
L: Chest 42"-44" Waist 33"-34"

Plus Size Fashion Review: Odelia Dress
I blogged about my shopping planning, but never reported back what I got and what I liked. So I thought I'd pick an item that I thought was kind of a gamble and share my shopping experienced.
One of my friends got married yesterday, and the wedding was picnic casual. After getting inspired by this post from The Pretty Pear, I ordered the Odelia Dress in black and white from B & Lu:
Here's me wearing it at the wedding:
I love it so much. It's light and airy, and has a great shape. I'm 5'10" so I knew it would be shorter on me. Leggings did the trick. I felt stylish, but not fussy.
Cost: $54
Fit: True to the size chart
Shipping: $9 Came a few days earlier than expected.
Compliments: Felt comfortable all day long, even on a very long day with a 2 hour car ride, a wedding reception and picnic, and to a club. Stayed cute and didn't lose it's shape by the end of the day. Lightweight material is sturdy.
Complaints: threads are pulling through the button holes. I will need to push them through and cut them off.
