What can I say

I’m trying my best to actually use my blog. I’ve said that before but I’m gonna do it this time. I swear. What do you guys want to read about on my very random blogger? ;P hahaha old school emojis are just better. Ask me anything; I will write about it. Really anything.

I still have pink hair. I’ve gone other colors but I always go back to pink. I’m drawing most days which is super fun. Still making jewelry and toys. I’m also still staying with my Rents (yeah I’m all old school today) so I don’t get to take the kinds of photos I’d like to. I have very little privacy. I’m buying a house soon, I’m ready to, I just have to take care of some health issues first.

Love,

Erina in Wonderland

Yesterday I mentioned my little obsession with Alice in Womderland. I remember when I was little my dad took me to see it in a real live movie theater. That one experience made me fall in love with Alice. I definitely collect Alice toys, books, and all kinds of things. More on those later. Today I want to show you a few of my favorite Alice clothes. Most of these are from Torrid but of course also hot topic and Lularoe.

The dress is my pride Alice piece of clothing. It’s from torrid and it is made of soft scuba material. I used to use polyvore to keep my closet, ie pictures of my real clothes and accessories. Then polyvore just disappeared one day and I lost my favorite past time and all my pics. Yes I could have downloaded my pics and they gave us time to download but at the time I didn’t own a computer and was unable to use my phone to do the download. Right now I am doing a board on my pintrist where I save pics I find online of clothes I actually own. Yes I need to do pics of me in the clothes but that will come later. I make pic collages of outfit sets but it’s not the same thing as polyvore was. Polyvore made my sets look so much cuter. I haven’t found any apps like polyvore again sadly. I need to be able to download my own collected pics onto any app I’d use and that’s a feature that seems to not exist. 

This is a set I made with some of the Alice clothes. Yes I actually own all of these things, not the center square because it’s just cute art. The purse is one of my faves a vintage box purse. The nail polish is from the OPI Alice collection and the boots are torrid. I had to put insoles inside to make them more comfortable but otherwise I love them. Torrid shoes are pretty wide though, FYI.  Here is the link to my wardrobe board on pinttrist.

Plus Size Leggings

 I got these leggings from Torrid the other day, size 3. I love torrid, almost all of my clothes are from torrid. I love Torrid jeans, dresses, tops, bras and panties. I even have shoes and bags I like from them. Their leggings suck. I have had about a dozen pairs, hopeful with each purchase that the cute print will lead to quality leggings. No such luck. The waist bands are awful elastic both the thinner and thicker tops.

These are not my pictures, I found them on Pinterest and made a quick collage. I do own all of these leggings from torrid. They are all very different. The Ariel ones are a scuba material which is cute and comfortable but the elastic waist is always too tight and makes a big dent roll in my tummy which I hate. The skull ones are cotton but still have this weird sewn in elastic waist that just cuts me in the middle and makes two big rolls. I hate it. The last pair are copper foiled leggings and not only do they have this elastic waist band that even in the size 3 22/24 leggings cuts me in half and looks stupid. I wear an 18 most of the time so you would think on a size 22/24 the waist band would fit me. No such luck plus the ankles and knees are to loose. As for the foil ones, the first time I wore them the foil started to wear off between my legs, and on the butt. They shed all over my car and my therapists couch. Shedding anything on your therapists couch is ridiculous. When I leave pink hair, nail polish from me picking at my nails or in this case little pieces of copper foil, I feel so gross. It’s therapy I don’t want to leave tiny parts of me on the couch. My main complaint about Torrid leggings is the elastic waist. So I went out in search of something better. A legging that would actually flatter my shape. It took a while. I have tried leggings from China that are a size 6xl and are still too small. I have tried lame Bryant, way to expensive! I have even tried sporty leggings from Kohl’s but they are never cute. Where could I find cute prints on flattering leggings that are comfortable to wear?

Then I found Lularoe. I ordered a few pairs of their TC and TC2 leggings. I am in love. Both sizes fit like a dream. The TC2 are my fave because I like my leggings to run a little big. Lularoe has amazing prints like my favorite Disney movie Alice in Wonderland. 

The waist band on the Lularoe leggings is more like a yoga waist, but the crotches are serged with a quality that I can tell will last. No more being cut in half with two tummy rolls on either side of some crappy elastic. The prints I find on the Lularoe leggings are on par with anything Torrid has to offer. Plus, Lularoe leggings are buttery soft and don’t shed. I don’t sell Lularoe and won’t make money from this post this is just my opinion. I am in love with Lularoe leggings. I found the Alice printed ones on eBay and the black ones too. I paid about $19 for each plain black pair and around $26 each for the Alice prints. Did I mention the cute prints.

This is the print from my favorite pair of Lularoe leggings. The flower scene is my favorite part from Alice. I actually squealed out loud when I first saw them. I collect Alice in Womderland clothes. More on that next time.
