These are (incredibly high end and expensive- minus my actual cell phone) versions of my daily wardrobe made school specific. It's been over 90 degrees every day so I modify accessories and outwear to stay as cool as possible, but these are the basics. As I previously stated, comfort is my biggest focus when it comes to style. If I am constantly readjusting a garment to fit properly, unbuttoning it because it's too tight or fixing it because it's too loose, etc... what's the point of it? Also, my color scheme is very indicative of my mindset. Instead of standing out with my clothing, I would rather dress in neutral colors and incorporate louder accessories: long box braids, dark lip color, dramatic cat eyes. These things make me feel both the idealized comfort and growing style I seek. 

One of my favorite items is the field jacket. The above version, the Anna Field Light Jacket, is a version of my own twill field jacket from Old Navy in Goodnight Nora. Considering it won't be cold for awhile, I find this lightweight jacket incredibly well made (especially for something I was able to purchase for $3 at the Old Navy store) and fit pretty well for an XL. Being plus sized, it's difficult to find garments my size and in styles that don't revolve around peplum and over-sized baby-doll tops. (No shade at all, I just don't care for those styles of clothes anymore and wish designs didn't revolve around such a limited spectrum for the plus sized market.) 

Anyway, I'm finding that my style this year is more focus on practicality and neutrality. I like clothing with stretch, elastic waistbands are my friends (and I fully embrace them, regardless of what fashion magazines want me to feel,) and leggings are pants whether anyone likes it or not. I fully believe that the best way to dress one's body is to put clothes on one's body that one enjoys and go from there. Rules are meant to be broken, etc etc etc.
