Someday my prince will come. Someday I will find the one. Though he’s far away, he’ll find my love someday. Someday when my dreams come true….oh please make my dreams come true 
Oh Snow White, we have SOOOOOO much in common. After what seems 3 months of tremendously awful dates, I needed a little something to give a little umph to my perspective. So today I am channeling my inner Snow White in hopes that maybe I’ll gnosh on a bad apple, make friends with a collection of little people with hygiene issues, and finally meet my one true love. Oh man, I hope this doesn’t mean he has to be into brutally murdering forest animals. But that’s a whole other story.
For this plus size Snow White look, I paired a bright yellow
pleated full skirt with a sassy royal blue
flare crop top with a sweetheart neckline. Both items are from the
eloquii. I styled the look with yellow transparent sandals, a red vintage bow tie and an potentially poison apple (it has been on my counter fall too long to still be edible). The look screams Snow White while also having a more modern yet 50s retro vibe that I adore.
Now hair and make up is really where I think I nailed it. Well at least that what I keep telling myself, because it took forever. It’s not easy task to make a long haired girl, look like she’s actually got a rockin’ curly bob. To achieve this I set my hair in teeny tiny foam rollers, heated them and let them set for several hours. Afterwards I finger combed my hair and pinned the blue tips underneath the rest of my hair- the texture of the curl helping to hold the bobby pins. For my make up I paired a red MAC lipstick, with my base foundation, rose cheek and a traditional pin-up eye. I also darkened my eyebrows to add to the vintage feel.

Today I kick off a little plus size fashion blog series I have been aching to do for months. For the next few weeks, I’ll be using Sundays to post Disney princess inspired casual looks. I love the idea of being inspired by the things that make you happy. And Disney? Well, it makes me pretty freaking giant ice cream sundae with caramel, fudge and peanut butter sauce on top elated.
Look there I go, a girl that is strange but special, a most peculiar mad’moiselle! It’s no pity nor a sin that I don’t quite fit in, cause I really am a funny girl- a beauty but a funny girl. I really am a funny girl. I’m BELLLLLLLE. [cut music, hold for applause]
Beauty and the beast was set in France and it felt the only place to really capture a truly “Belle” look. Don’t get me wrong; I am NOT flying to the Middle East for Jasmine or learning how to snorkel in a gown for Ariel. Hell no. Its just life gave me an opportunity and I went all carpe diem up in it.
I love Belle because she was like the original hipster-esque “be smart and make your own decisions “ cartoon idol. She turned down the hottest guy in town to instead end up with a bearded tortured artist type. She was a geek- a hard-core one- and wasn’t afraid to show it. If Belle were alive today, she’d definitely go to Comic Con. I’d put money on it.
For this Belle inspired look I used a simple white t-shirt from Target to evoke the white sleeves and apron Belle wears up until her fancy sparkly sparkly golden dress moment. To add a modern touch to Belle’s classic blue pinafore I relied on this lovely Cherry Velvet Marcia dress that I sourced through Gwynnie Bee. I love how the cut outs add a modern touch to Belle’s classic country style. I chose a knotted vintage floral scarf to pay homage to the most adorable bookworm ever’s classic white statement bow. The look is finished with a pair of vintage gold and opal studs (thanks Mom!) and black flats purchased from hush puppies.
To mirror Belle’s hair I used side twists to create the volume and shape of her tresses in the original cartoon. I used a neutral palette of eye shadows starting first with MACs rice paper (my favorite base shadow ever), then highlighting the creases with a plum tinted brown and lastly shaping the corners with a rich coffee color. Belle had amazing eyebrows, so I made sure to darken and accent my own eyebrows. Lastly I chose a lovely plum matte lipstick from Wet n’ Wild to add nice touch of both strength and femininity.
