On to today's post: This was one of the most difficult #30PlusStyle challenges for me to work with thus far! 

I sat down and thought about why. There were a number of reasons, but basically they all can be summed up as follows:

• I don't really follow celebrity fashion and or trends so it was hard to pick a person and a style. (I do watch the runways, select designers, and style icons - they are in another ballgame in my opinion!)
• It's been a rough week, I struggled with multiple deadlines and an indecisive attitude. For every one idea I came up with, there seemed to be multiple reasons as to why it didn't truly resonate with me.
• I simply did not feel like taking pictures, i.e, posing, passerbys staring at me, etc.,.(Being photographed is usually a personal struggle for me.)

Nonetheless, as the saying goes: 'The show must go on'. Yes, because of my personal belief in the immense value that the plus-size blogging community has on women (young and old alike), I pulled myself together and got to work. My loyal supporter, my husband was completely on board as Motivational Speaker and Creative Director, thank you Honey!!!

Whenever I feel doubtful and or indecisive with choosing a look, I go with classic and timeless pieces.

Every woman needs a classic dress, that can be dressed up, or dressed down.

This classic tube style dress was purchased in 1999 for my one year anniversary. Does that make it a vintage number? LOL!

Which celebrity exactly, inspired this look?
