Leggings

A bunch of stuff happened – or is happening soon – since my last post and during the month of March, so many things that are of interest to us, and I wanted to share them with you, so here it is, in no particular order… ►►►

I discovered by accident the Rocky Ridge III skirt as I was shopping in an off-price department store. Lucky accident though, because this is one of Columbia Sportswear most interesting piece I have ever gotten! (Sadly, this item seems to be unavailable for the moment, but let’s hope Columbia remembers their plus-size lady clients and bring that model back!) ►►►

As humans, we have this natural, overwhelming need of labeling things… and people. So I recently started wondering about what label (s) I carry, as a blogger. ►►►

So here I am again, with another awesome item, straight from the shelves of SWAK Designs: the Essential Gaucho Pants. ►►►

Though it goes a bit against my backpacker “instincts” to pack very flashy things to wear, in order to be able to mix and match all (or nearly all!) my items of clothing, this one comes as a complete surprise! (I also hate to be too visible while away to avoid drawing unwanted attention.) ►►►

I found out about We Love Colors as I was compiling my Plus Size, Travel Friendly Retailers list, last fall. I was incredibly excited at the idea of colorful, no cotton leggings. READ MORE… ►►►

Again this week, I will review clothing that I found (online, in this case) and thought could be a great addition to a Plus Size Backpacker’s luggage. ►►►

You know when it’s really hot, and you walk around all day and your thighs rub together… At the beginning, it’s all right, as long as you don’t walk too long. ►►►
