     Hi My Beautiful Friends, I am all about this sweater weather! It's finally here, at least for a few days. I love a good high turtleneck in the fall and winter and this poncho delivers just that. It is also very slimming for a poncho. The one problem I have with ponchos is that they can sometimes make me look bigger, and no one wants to look bigger. This Poncho doesn't do that. It is so flattering and classy looking. This would make a great gift for the holidays. I absolutely love it! Now lets talk about these boots, these boots are everything! Make sure to order a few sizes up if you have bigger calves like me. I definitely will be ordering them in another color. They are perfect for this time of year. My daughter joined us for this shoot and we had so much fun. I love this picture my hubby took of us. She is so grown up now, 18 and in college. I blinked and she grew up. Before I forget lets talk about my Bellamy hair. I can't live without these. they are so beautiful and easy to put in. These are the Guy Tang Balyage set. Love & Hugs

     Peacoat - Nordstrom / Black Sweater - Nordstrom / Jeans - Nordstrom / Shoes - Amazon / Purse - Amazon Hello My Fashionistas,
I am back and boy have I had a lot going on. My daughter started college, my hubby is about to retire, and we're moving to Colorado. After a lifetime of being in Southern California, born and raised. It is just too hot for me out here for my ms. So, a new chapter is about to begin. Last month we visited Colorado and the weather was just perfect for this gorgeous pea coat and Vince Camuto sweater. I am in love with the cute cut out on the shoulder. It is not to low it is just right. The sweater is also and super soft and slimming. This pea coat is an absolute staple. The camel color goes with everything and the best part is the price $37.90. This particular coat is on sale quite often at Nordstrom. I highly recommend this coat.

Boots | Sweater dress | Wrap Coat | Turtle neck | Distressed Jeans | Peacoat | Twill Jacket Hi My Friends, I wanted to share with you my week in outfits. I found some great deals on Amazon and I have been really enjoying them. I love Amazon Prime, it's the greatest! I also love clothes and shoes and I found some great boots on Amazon. My daughter says she is going to steel them from me. They have even passed the fall test. At Universal Studios I fell down some stairs and my first concern was "My Boots!" I was a little jacked up but my boots survived. Love & Hugs, Chrissy

Vest (Similar Here, Here, and Here | Beanie (similar) Hi My Beautiful Friends, As I sit here watching Fuller House laughing at the silliness of this show. I'm wondering why I find this show so funny. It's just pure fun and it makes me laugh. That got me thinking as to why I love fashion so much. It's just pure fun and makes me feel great. Let's face it, I am all for fun, laughing and feeling great, especially after dealing with depression. Anyway, this faux fur vest makes me feel like a Beverly Hills house wife for a day and I love it, it's not too bulky and was only $25 at Ross. I'll link a similar one down below. Lately, I have been wearing these slouchy beanies like crazy. They are great for a bad hair day and look too cute. I found a bunch on Amazon so I will link them down below. Oh my gosh! Amazon Prime is the best! Remember to take each day one at a time, God made you beautiful, and work it in that cute outfit.

It's been a while since I have posted on here. Over the past six months I have tried several times to post but each time I tried I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Back in June I had a minor MS episode along with a recurrence of my depression. Adjusting to my meds and all of this has been rough. But, I am back and ready to kick off the New Year renewed and moving forward. Who loves to get dressed up to celebrate the New Year? I definitely do and this LBD is perfect for a New Years party. This dress is sexy, elegant and very comfortable. I love the dramatic sleeves and the beautiful off the shoulder look. I hope you all had a great holiday and thank you so much for sticking with me. Love & Hugs, Chrissy          Summer is almost here so it's time to stock up on those summer dresses. I must be honest, summer is my least favorite time of year only because of the heat. My body seems to malfunction if the temp gets past the high 80's But, one thing that makes it a little better are these cute dresses. I have found some great dresses for under $80. If you wait for a sale you can get them for even lower. Each one of these dresses are very flattering, they cover any trouble spots and are not too short. The white dress I got for only $25 (wow). New York and Co. was having a big Mother's Day sale and all their dresses were $25 so I grabbed a couple. New York and Co. is always having sales so you will definitely get a good price on all these dresses.
If you don't like wearing shorts like me, try wearing one of these cute dresses. You're guaranteed to feel fabulous. I paired some of these with my denim jacket which I think is a great option if your arms aren't quite summer ready. I've listed all item links above, Love & Hugs, Chrissy AFFILIATE LINKS: **I use some affiliate links, which help support my website, youtube channel, and blog. A percentage of the things you buy through my links will go towards supplies to keep "Regain Your Confidence" up and running. Thank you so much for your help! Chrissy         Oh My Gosh! I'm in a dress, a short dress. I am usually a jeans kind of girl but it is too dang hot out here during the summer to wear jeans. I absolutely hate shorts so I thought I would try this dress and I am so in love with it. It hides what you want to hide and is so adorable. Since my legs rarely see the sun they are translucent. I had to pack on the sunless tanner for this dress. This dress is great if you want to hide a tummy, not too short and covers the stuff we don't want showing. It is a little see through so make sure to wear a slip that doesn't cause static cling. I originally purchased this dress for $38 on sale but then got a price adjustment when they went on sale again for $25, whoop whoop. I love a great deal so I bought the striped one also. I can't recommend this dress enough for us over 40 gals. I'm almost 41 and this dress makes me feel so good and doesn't give the appearance of trying too hard. I am also average sized with a booty and not the tightest skin. If you would prefer a little more length just order a size up. This one is a small so the dress runs big. 7 years ago I never would have had the confidence to wear a dress like this even when I was a size 6. This dress is such a symbol of how far I have come. Yes, I still have insecurities but I have overcome a great deal of them. This June I am coming up on my 1 year post explant surgery. Healing emotionally and physically has been rough at times but I feel better and am amazed at how happy I am to have the real me back. I think something happens to you when you go through hard times. You just don't care about the little things anymore and are just happy to be alive and have another day. To be alive and well is a huge confidence boost. Just the fact that we have been given another day is something to rejoice about. The fact that my legs still work regardless of how firm they are is something to rejoice over and feel confident about. So the next time you are in the dressing room feeling depressed about what you see. Remember what your body is capable of and that you are beautiful. Love & Hugs, Chrissy

Chrissy      White Dress (Here) high end similar (Here) Black option (Here) Similar (Here) | Pumps Calvin Klein This has got to be the most flattering white dress ever. It complements your curves and is just lovely. I have been eyeing this dress for some time now waiting for it to go on sale and as soon as it went on sale it quickly went out of stock. I was lucky enough to get my hands on it and am so glad I did. It runs super big, this is a size small and I normally wear an 8-10 in dresses. I usually shy away from white dresses for fear of looking too big but this dress is the exception. I told my hubby he needs to take me out so I can wear this. You will feel so elegant in this dress. It stays off the shoulder and with some spanks does not reveal what you don't want seen. This dress is now 30% off but sizes are limited. I have linked some similar dresses above, some high end and some more budget friendly. If you want to feel sexy again why don't you try a dress like this. It's a huge confidence boost when you feel sexy, and sometimes that can get lost in the day to day of our lives. Wear it to a fancy dinner or go see a play. If you don't have a date take your best girlfriends and wear it for a night out on the town. Feeling your best is priceless and what better way to feel your best but in a fabulous dress. Love & Hugs, Chrissy

The other day at Sephora I was given a perfume sample of Chanel No. 5. This was the perfume my mom would wear when I was growing up. I took one whiff of that sample and the tears started to run down my cheeks. You see, my mom passed away many years ago when I was 18. This perfume instantly filled me with an overwhelming feeling of loss but also with a feeling of her presence as if she just walked in the room. How I wish I still had my mom. It is so funny how much I am like her now. She used to love wearing pumps with jeans and boy, do I love wearing that combo. I hate getting my hair messed up. My kids always laugh at me because I cover up my hair at theme parks so it doesn't get wet on rides. Like mother like daughter. Mothers are the heart and soul of their family and on this beautiful day called Mother's day make sure she knows how much she means to you. Each moment you have with her is precious. Mothers are the most fierce, amazing women in the world. And moms I hope you know you are the BEST MOM EVER! Love & Hugs, Chrissy       Maxi Dress New York & Co | Wedge Sandals by Jessica Simpson | Hat (Similar) | Belt (similar) | Earrings (similar) I love this maxi dress, it is so cute and comfortable. But first let's talk about these gorgeous California wildflowers. They are the most amazing thing I have ever seen. It looks like something out of a painting. It is just magical. The day we took these pictures my daughter spotted a rattlesnake slithering through the flowers. Needless to say that was the end of the magical experience. After that I refused to step anywhere I couldn't see my feet (insert my husband's eyes rolling). Anyway we managed to get some great pictures despite the snake incident. Now, let's talk about this maxi dress. This dress is so effortless and gorgeous. I've been looking for an off the shoulder maxi for a while now so when I saw this I ordered it right away. This is a New York & Co. online exclusive so it is not available in stores. This dress is a must have for spring and summer. This dress makes me feel so feminine and pretty and I can't wait to wear it again. It's still available online and if you have shoprunner you get free two day shipping. Love & Hugs, Chrissy
