Going For Gold Accessories

The Olympics are over and all that’s left is the medal count!  USA won a total of 104 medals which hurled them to the top!  Winning an astonishing 46 GOLD, 29 SILVER and 29 BRONZE medals over the worlds’ competition!

Wouldn’t it be nice to be golden?  OF COURSE! I figured out a way to take the easy way out (which doesn’t involve sweating or having your make up melt away.)  Well, it isn’t exactly rocket science…just wear something GOLD!

London’s Calling! Patriotic Plus Size Olympic Style

It’s summer and it’s 2012 and that means, the Olympics are here!


After being in action for a full week now, I can say with confidence…I’ll never be an Olympian! LOL! Have you see these chicks arms?! Goodness!


Anywho…


Watching the Olympics has given me a little bit of USA fever! I woke up this morning looking for anything red, white or blue to show my love for this country. 


(Insert me belting out Star Spangled Banner in the middle of my apartment)


So after looking in my closet and realizing I don’t have that many American flag colored items, I wondered if anyone else had this issue.  That led me to a quick search. Here are a few things that you can wear to show your support without wearing a flag outside.  Who really wants to wear a flag as an outfit?  More power to you if that’s what you chose to wear today (if you’re actually a spectator in London!)


If you’re chilling here in the states like moi, watching previously recorded programming via NBC…here’s what we can wear:

Colored jeans! They’re EVERYWHERE! I mean EVERYWHERE! They look good on any body type too so don’t be afraid to wear a pair! For us curvy girls…find these at Saks!

For your eyes…anything with a cat-eye shape is definitely “in” right now.  A cheap and uber chic way to add any color to your outfit…sunglasses!

 

Sunglasses from OldNavy.com 

White $4.97

For your feet…how about a super cute pair of Superga’s!! Classic style that can be worn even when you’re not feeling festive!

But, you can still wear that flag if you want…
