Splurge VS. Steal - Plus Size Fashion Finds
Hello and happy busiest shopping weekend of the year!
Before you whip out your credit card and buy the best gifts and maybe a few things for yourself, keep in mind there may be a less expensive option out there. Maybe you're a millionaire and "money ain't a thang" but for us savvy shoppers, I've found found great steals for you!
I created this list by doing my daily online "window shopping", where I browse through my favorite plus size stores, fill my shopping bag with clothes that I can't afford, then I close out of that website and then go to the next. What I noticed was that all stores were filling up their inventory with holiday sequins, dresses, jumpsuits and whatnot and some stores had similar items. Well, even though the items were similar, the price tags were drastically different!
Yes, I'm a self-proclaimed "savvy shopper" but in all actuality, I'm cheap! So finding the inexpensive option to the expensive items I have been lushing over blew my entire mind! I had a fashion duty to report these findings to you so you can save some money too! Check out the items below in The 907 Strut's edition of: Splurge VS. Steal!
Keep in mind, the prices shown are the original prices that does not reflect any deals the stores have going on!

I hope this list gives you an idea of what items to buy and where to go to save the most money. Don't get me wrong, some items I do "splurge" on (like the Eloquii gold sequin wrap dress) but when I want my money to stretch, I go for the steals! Let me know if you want to see more blog posts like this.
As always, thanks for reading!

Fall Fashion
When building your fall wardrobe or just transitioning what
you already have in your closet, keep natural earth tones in mind. Marigold
(like this dress), browns, deep reds and dark greens are my go-to colors for
this season.
Scarves, boots, jackets and booties are also an essential
for me when it comes to fall! I got these cute booties from Target (on sale of
course) a few months ago. The color and fringe are perfect for fall and the
larger heel make them easy to walk in. The exact pair that I’m wearing is sold
out but check out Torrid
for a similar pair of fringed booties.
I like to keep my day to day makeup as natural as possible
but if I were going on date-night with my boo or to get some apps and drinks
with my girls, I would’ve gone with a deep red lip! Check out this makeup tutorial
from Riah’s Beauty for a cute fall look!
So this is how I do fall fashion. Comment your fall fashion
go-tos below!

Plus Size Stores
Before
I started The 907 Strut, I was like most other plus size women and didn’t know
where to go to find cute clothes. Luckily Forever 21 opened in Anchorage and I
worked at Torrid and got a bangin’ discount – but other than those two stores,
I didn’t know where to go. It wasn’t until I searched #PlusSizeFashion on
Instagram in 2013 when my eyes were opened to the many stores that offered plus
size clothing. Until that point, I had no idea that there were so many options!
Since then, I have been an avid online shopper and found so much love in
helping others find something to wear.
When
I started The 907 Strut later that year, one thing I wanted to use this
platform for was to show other plus size women that we have options! That’s
when I created Strut-Worthy Stores.
Strut-Worthy Stores,
a tab at the top of the screen, has a list of my favorite in-town and online
stores that offer plus size clothing. To take the list of stores one step
forward, I also listed the affordability with $50 being the “affordability
gauge”, as well as listed the types of clothing each store sells (casual, work
wear, swim suits, etc.).
So
if you’re looking for something to wear, Strut-Worthy Stores is the place to
go!
Do
you need some outfit inspiration? I got you! Follow @the907strut on Instagram
for outfit inspiration boards that I create. I don’t mean to toot my own horn when
it comes to styling but, TOOT TOOT! *insert crying laughing emoji*
When
it comes to fashion, I’m your girl. Let me know if you have an upcoming event
or you just want to revamp your closet – I got you!
XOXOXO

Untamed!
This is the first time in my nearly 25 years of life that I have been secure with my hair texture!
It's very common now of days to see women and men rocking their natural
tresses, which is huge because growing up all I seen were relaxed hair styles.
Now that I am a groooown woman (in my Yonce’ voice) I have decided to take
control of my hair by letting it do what it was intended to do – grow without
chemicals! This is just the beginning of my natural hair journey, but I’m
excited to see how it will look in a year from now!
Just thinking about my hair experience and being taught that relaxed is the only way to go, had me reflect more on my natural self. There are many things in my life that I need to refocus on. My hair is just the beginning of my journey to taking further steps to live a life UNTAMED!
Now to the outfit deets! My outfit was inspired by Makeup
Shayla’s sparkly smoky eye tutorial
on YouTube. Now that I’m a momma, I barely go out so I used my three day
weekend to dress up, rock my hurr and try the makeup tutorial out. Of course it’s
not makeup artist level (yet), I still slayed!
Shoes: From Target about a million years ago
Hair: From my daddy’s side!
XOXOXO
