Chocolate-Covered Fashionista

I’m the first! Don’t know if that’s ever happened before :).
You look so cute in all the photos, I’d definitely disagree that you don’t have fashion sense.

I’m not a fashionista but I do like fashion and think I have some style. But it honestly depends on my mood. Some days I just don’t care. 😛

Ah to be young again. These days, I count it as a plus on the days I don’t end up with spit-up on my shirt, or worse: thrown baby food! 😉
But I wouldn’t change it for the world.
You rock those blues!

Mmmmmm peanut butter cookie dough cheesecake? Yikes my waistline is glad I’m a vegan, because otherwise I might have to run down to the CC Factory right this minute for a slice!

I love leggings!! I pretty much live in them! I love skirts and dresses, but I have a really ugly knee surgery scar, so problem solved. Plus, I have screws in my shin that are painful to touch and somehow a layer of fabric makes me feel “protected”. Yay, leggings! 😀

I love looking at pictures of different types of fashion but I lack the money to actually buy much! I’m a student too so my wardrobe consists mostly of comfy clothes……. I love hoodies and have a gazillion of them!

JCD,
Hehe you don’t see me on the days I wear pajamas to class ;). Oh yes I do. Especially when I went to an all-girls’ college. We ALL did, all the time :). Sometimes it’s just too much of a hassle to dress up, ya know? It’s like, who cares?!
I’ll gladly be your shopping buddy!! Then we can shop together for our “weird” styles.

anonymous,
Yeah, I am always sad when I shop with my friends and can’t buy the cute pants for sale in Gap or American Eagle :(. But dept. stores seem to have a wider range of sizes, and as far as yoga pants go, I can easily fit them.

“Wear yoga pants as dress pants. No one will ever know, and they’re so comfortable. ”

LOL! That IS a great idea. I wear workout pants instead of leggings all the time, and yes, they totally are dress pants! (They even have an elastic waist for massive eating room ;p which is either good or bad). Your fashion is cute 😀 I’m totally a non-fashionista but love cute clothes

Woohoo for yoga pants! I live in them. But I never thought of using them for dress pants? People really can’t tell? I am going to try it!

I’m a bit of a fashionista. I mean, I’ve always gone and done my thing for the most part (hello, pink highlights!), but I am always inspired by the world around me, my favorite shows, or even songs. I have a serious clothes buying addiction, but thankfully vintage stores are my favorite! Dressing up has always been one of my favorite things. But there are definitely days where it’s totally comfort over anything else.

oOoOo great post- i love your style!!!

haha mirror shots are an epic fail for me too.. yes i put the self timer on and it works everytime.

i still liked yesterdays post.. and i agreed with it. i dont think theres need to apologize.. but i guess if some were offended.. hmm.

love ya <3 xoxo happy thursday!

I’m not a fashionista. Sure, I like to dress up when I feel like it… but I guess my taste is too much off track to be misunderstood for “fashion [sense]”. Either way, as long as I like my clothes, I’m fine with it.

Luckily though, I’ve got enough money to spend it on clothes and other things I like [clothes are last on my priority list, but I still own quite a few]. Personally, I would rather own a few items I really like than a lot that were cheap… on the other hand, it rarely happens that I like anything really much [but if I do, I usually buy it].

No need to apologize for having an opinion, lady! I’m a lover of Lady Gaga, but that doesn’t mean you have to be! <3

P.S.: It's Loo–ba-tahn. a.k.a. the object of my infatuation 😉

Lyss,
Oh no, not at ALL! I was actually glad that you and some others pointed out that she’s an inspirational girl. Honestly, I realized that I shouldn’t have criticized Lady Gaga
because the truth is I really don’t know much about her! I didn’t know
she was such a role model, standing up for womens’ rights and things
like that. LOL I just thought she was a crazy girl!

P.S. I tried to send you this in an email, but it came back to me, so I hope you see this!

Hi Katie,
I don’t often comment, but I have to come out of lurking today to tell you how beautiful you are, even in your headless state :). Keep the cute posts like this one coming!
Love,
Sarah

I love me some overalls! This week, I popped into work on my day off. I was in my overalls (of course), and my co-workers assumed that meant that I’d been gardening all day! Sure, I did some transplanting that morning, but overalls are my day-off uniform! I highly recommend you pick up a pair. Preferably worn with a flannel shirt. 🙂

Also LOVE yoga pants. I mean, they fit and look better than “real” pants, and they are super-comfy!

Ahh, Muppet Babies… it’s been so long! I like the way they showed Nanny… very creative perspective that focused on the Babies!

So glad you like the pop-tart idea- I’m counting on you! No pressure! hehe.
We do have a few Amy’s brand products over here but only savouries- a couple of the pizzas and burritos etc.
I know people who’ve worn yoga tracksuit trousers as smart trousers before and noone has noticed, so much more comfy:)

Love your scarf in that first picture. I’m all about scarves. As for me and fashion, I shop at one store — Delia’s. They make clothes for little people. I’m 5’1″ with absolutely no boobage (I’m like a AA!). They make short-length jeans and everything comes in extra small. Plus, their clothes are cute!

hope you didn’t think i was being rude about the gaga thing! we are allll entitled to our own opinions… no need to apologize about yours! i have to admit, i thought she was crazy at first, too. but she has such a good message. she grew up feeling like a “freak” who never belonged and, now that she’s famous, she’s trying to show people that it’s OKAY to be EXACTLY who you are… she doesn’t believe in judgment! and she writes all of her own music, SINGS all of her own music, and doesn’t conform to “being a celebrity”… she’s actually incredibly driven and wise… and inspiring! that’s all i was getting at! 🙂

have a great day!

Although I’m a lady gaga lover, you def. don’t have to apologize lol. It’s wrong to judge a book by it’s cover but when it comes to celebrities…that’s all you really can do, right??

Your blue dress is so cute! I know nothing about fashion either haha. I try though…

You should stick to chocolate posts, based on those photos fashion is not your thing.

Katie,
I just wanted to URGE you to ignore the dumb comment above mine. Obviously the 40ish people in front of her who disagree with her are in the majority. And I have a sneaky suspicion that she doesn’t really think you have bad fashion sense at all. She’s just obviously jealous of your awesomeness, which everyone can see!

I take comfort over fashion too…I try to stay on top of the trends, but they are always changing, so I wear what I feel best in…which most of the time is not that fashionable, haha.

Meg,
Aww don’t worry! The only thing I think is funny is that someone would think she’s upsetting me by saying I have bad fashion sense when I, myself said the exact thing in my post! But your comment was so sweet :).

Haha, we must be on the same wave-length today–I just posted about my lack of fashion these days:)

Thanks for your comment 🙂
I like your style, it looks great on you whatever you wear because you’re skinny (meant in a positive way). I also wear clothes which are not comfortable but look elegant. Yoga pants as smart trousers? Now I’m gonna look at people and try to find out who wears smart trousers and who yoga pants 😉

Yay! Finally, someone else who knows diddly-squat about ‘fashion.’ You prove that you don’t NEED to know the names of fancy designers or spend ridiculous amounts of money on clothes to look utterly stunning. I basically subscribe to the same philosophy as you: if it’s comfortable, I can move around in it freely and it fits well, then those are the criteria which make for an ideal outfit.

I like my old clothes…I hate the feeling that an outfit’s wearing me and I live in yoga pants too!

Beauty comes from the person wearing the clothes, no the outfit itself. I get slightly depressed by the fact that our society lets guys wear smart/casual outfits while women have to cripple themselves in stilettos, wear jeans so tight that it cuts off their circulation and plaster themselves in make-up to be socially acceptable.

I do admire those who keep up with fashion to an extent, because it requires an artistic eye and I will always respect that, but sometimes it does seem a bit superficial to me…

I’m so not a ‘girly’ girl and it’s nice to see that not everyone is obsessed with designer everything 😀

<3

Have a brill weekend!

thanks for the chocolate covered katie thinspo!
do u know girls use you as thinspo?

That is so mean and ignorant Erika!
Haven’t you read her other posts?
She tried putting on weight, but can’t! Obviously you can tell she’s a healthy girl
because of her recipes and her AMAZING glowing skin making myself and probably every other girl on the planet totally jealous!!!

Also Kaite, I LOVE fashion. I subscribe to three fashion magazines and can not get enough of Top Model, Gossip Girl and Project Runway! But hey, I can totally see why you would just want to be comfortable too! 🙂
