I imagined myself in a 100% rhinestone encrusted jumpsuit, sparkling like the glitter bomb I am. However, after about 15 minutes with my new favorite heat backed crystal heating gadget, I realized I would have at most 20 stones in me, before I got bored and moved on to something else.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2148\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3461-976x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Plus Size Fashion Fatkini\" width=\"976\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3461-976x1024.jpg 976w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3461-286x300.jpg 286w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3461-768x806.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3461.jpg 2042w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 976px) 100vw, 976px\" \/><br \/>\nSo I put my mind to use and tried to brainstorm an appropriate 20-30 stone project, that would really add some glint to my glam, with out leaving me on the floor, with burnt fingers and cursing\u00a0 the world. I should note when it comes to crafting, I usually accidentally light something on fire or end up super gluing my thumb to my forehead. I was made to buy, not construct- for the sake of humanity.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2144\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3333-828x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Plus Size Fashion Fatkini\" width=\"828\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3333-828x1024.jpg 828w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3333-243x300.jpg 243w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3333-768x949.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 828px) 100vw, 828px\" \/>However, I found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forever21.com\/Product\/Product.aspx?BR=plus&amp;Category=plus_size-swimwear&amp;ProductID=2000183201&amp;VariantID=\" target=\"_blank\">this bikini top<\/a> during a shopping trip to Forever 21 and fireworks went off in my my brain. &#8220;I need rhinestones,&#8221; It spoke to me. &#8220;You have rhinestones. Let together and have beautiful beautiful fashion babies.&#8221; And I listened because when clothing speaks to me, I this ears sit down, perk up and take those magical words in.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2145\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3337-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Plus Size Fashion Fatkini\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3337-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3337-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>So the next week during one of those three hour meetings that you want to claw your eyes out, I was smiling. As we discuss return and delivery and [insert whatever business jargon you want] I was giddily rhinestoning my bikini top. And it didn&#8217;t look good, it looked freaking incredible.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2146\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3348-937x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Plus Size Fashion Fatkini\" width=\"937\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3348-937x1024.jpg 937w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3348-275x300.jpg 275w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3348-768x839.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3348.jpg 2004w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 937px) 100vw, 937px\" \/>And I&#8217;m obsessed with it. It&#8217;s this amazingly sassy and glamorous suit, that no one else has. BECAUSE I MADE IT. This is especially important because I have a giant bag of craft projects I tried to complete, only to give up, and buy something similar. I just wasn&#8217;t built to craft. So actually being able to complete something AND have it look awesome was a rare gift from the style sirens.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2147\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3372-808x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Plus Size Fashion Fatkini\" width=\"808\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3372-808x1024.jpg 808w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3372-237x300.jpg 237w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3372-768x973.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3372.jpg 1740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 808px) 100vw, 808px\" \/>And then it just snowballed from there. I found this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.debshops.com\/ProductDetail\/1004388_002\" target=\"_blank\">amazing tulle skirt <\/a>from Deb, used my favorite Vera Wang necklace as a belt, and coated my lips in a vicious electric shade of red-pink. I am just feeling myself so hard. Because I crafted, and it was good&#8230;&#8230;and no one died, I didn&#8217;t burn my house down, Data still has a tail, and my hands remain unglued. SUCCESS.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2149\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3379-873x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Plus Size Fashion Fatkini\" width=\"873\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3379-873x1024.jpg 873w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3379-256x300.jpg 256w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3379-768x901.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3379.jpg 1963w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 873px) 100vw, 873px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So recently I invested in a classy bedazzler, because I decided my life needed more sparkle.
