Katie Like Me - Plus sized fashion and life.

I've been blogging for over 7 years with Katie Like Me and it's been the most fun, most rewarding hobby I have ever had. It's been a time full of ups--like being invited to fashion events and being recognized for my style--and downs, like when Google removed all my photos on accident and I had hundreds of broken images on my blog Or, when my Instagram was hacked. But, times are changing and so am I. So are all of us.
I'm no longer going to update this blog.
For a long while, I have been uninspired by my own blog and I think it's gotten to the point where it's a chore to update, and I never ..read more

It's been a while since I have sat down and really written without an outfit being involved, or being the focus.
Weddings are stressful, guys. I know it's not been said a million times on a million different websites, so this is brand new information for you all. At the beginning of the year, I wasn't thinking about planning a wedding myself, or even having one. We didn't have a date, a time, a venue, or an even an idea that a wedding was going to happen this year. In all honesty, I thought if we were going to get married this year, we'd be eloping in a local park, or going downtown with ..read more

It's the end of August, and it is Summer's last hurrah!
Wearing:
Old Forever 21 Hat Old Forever 21 Top Thrifted American Rag Skirt Target shoes
It's late August, it's 90 degrees outside and all I want to do is wear (faux) leather jackets and tights. I mean, I still can, but I'd have a heat stroke, so I'll stick to imitating the feel of Fall with textures and colors. I paired this off the shoulder top with a faux suede skirt and my FAVORITE shoes ever, these D'orsay flats. Plus a hat and bandanna because it's me. The browns pull fall, but the top is sum ..read more

Stripes are some of the best and easiest prints to wear, and I love them. I also think they're the greatest for pattern mixing, too, as they act as a "neutral".
Wearing:
Thrifted Hat Thrifted Kimono Old Striped Tee ReStitch Skirt Poshmark Sandals
Katie? Pattern mixing? You're not hallucinating (I hope), I am wearing floral and stripes. Small stripes and big floral go well together because they aren't competing for attention.
So far, August has been fairly mild for as far as Augusts go. No triple digit heat indexes, no high 90s with no cloud in sight. We s ..read more

Everyone puts a striped shirt on and says "Oui" as if they're taking a picture in front of the Eiffel Tower. Yeah...I'm not French.
Wearing:
Old Target Beret Old Striped Tee Old Pleated Skirt thredUP Booties
It's almost August, which means it's almost the end of the year, and I'm freaking out. August and September are the last month of this year for me, that are not full of stressful times. In October, I'm a bridesmaid for my sister's wedding, and I'm moving. November is my wedding (!!!!!!) and the start of the Holidays. I'm freaking out.
But it's just summer rig ..read more

It's a lazy Sunday, so of course I'm donning a graphic tee and comfy skirt.
Wearing:
Thrifted hat Dazey LA Tee Old Button Down Skirt Target shoes Weekdays are set in stone--wake up at 5, go to work, come home, work out, make dinner, go to sleep. Rinse and repeat 4 more times. But weekends? They're always a toss up--either we're out and about all weekend, or we're home all weekend. This weekend is the latter.
Well, kind of.
Sometimes I need time to decompress. I'm an anthropomorphized ball of anxious energy and boy, does my body (and my mind!) know it. So, cros ..read more

Mustard yellow works in all seasons.
Wearing:
thredUP Headscarf Poshmark Dress Poshmark Sandals
Once the hot weather hit, I was SCRAMBLING for sandals. When we moves across the city in early Winter, my concern was getting the cold weather clothes from one point to the other, but I don't know what happened between point a and point b that all of my sandals went missing. It's been a struggle finding sandals that work for me as I have wide feet and refuse to have my toes separated by a shoe. So far, I've found a few pairs I like, like these slides, but I have the w ..read more

I wore this dress is a similar way around this time last year, but you have to admit, it's pretty perfect for the hot summer.
Wearing:
Thrifted Hat Old Amazon Dress Target Sandals
I love a good slit in a dress, I think they're flirty, dramatic and perfect for summer, but they can border a little risque for me. I don't know if the slit in this dress is even considered a slit, but I love it regardless.
This is one of those "it's so hot I don't even want to go outside but have to" days. Today is a day of errands out in the sun (hence sun hat and 3/4 sleeves) and I ..read more

Floral skirt in a garden, so typical.
Wearing:
Old Altar'd State Hat Old Forever 21 Top thredUP skirt Thrifted Sandals
Let's talk about this outfit first because, uh, come on, it's gorgeous. I've had this white off the shoulder top for over a year now and this skirt is from my collaboration with thredUp awhile back and I never though to put the two together. I like the romantic, yet young, look of the outfit. It's so fitting for a garden brunch! I actually wore this top when I got engaged, which leads me to the next point...
We solidified a wedding dat ..read more

Dazey LA is a slow fashion brand that embraces slow, woman owned and ethically made clothing. It's only natural that the golden tones and female empowerment would draw me in!
Wearing:
Thrifted hat Dazey LA Tee Thrifted Skirt Thrifted Sandals
In my attempts to live a more sustainable life, I've made some changes. I haven't shopped in a big box or fast fashion store for clothing in 8 months, I eat a plant based diet, and the genuine new clothes I've gotten have been from slow, sustainable brands, like Dazey LA.
I'm not a graphic tee wearer, but I could not resist the ..read more
