This is a sponsored review from BlogHer and Just My Size Sportswear apparel.
Oh, woe is me!
This may be too difficult of a task.
I have to spend $200...on myself....on JMS (Just My Size) clothing....at Wal-Mart.
I just don't think I can do it!
I guess I'll just have to trudge through and try to show a happy face.
SERIOUSLY.....Are you kidding me? I get to spend $200?!?!? On MYSELF!?!?! On cute JMS clothes?!?!? That actually fit me and look good?!?!?! YES!!!! Sign me up!
This was way too much fun for me. I love clothes. LOVE THEM...but guess what I wear to work everyday. Tan pants and a white polo shirt. YAWN! Can you get any more boring than that? And the sad thing is that my actual day to day wardrobe isn't that much more exciting. I have been buying clothes at Salvation Army and at yard sales. Yes, I am admitting that. I guess I have been caught in the trap that I don't think that I deserve nice clothes. And besides that...who can afford them?
Well, ladies, listen up!
It's time to feel good about the way you look. It is time to try on something unexpected, that you normally wouldn't wear. Bring some color to your life! Buy clothes that fit! It always amazes me how different I feel about myself when I wear something flattering, feminine and FUN! I feel like I am saying something about myself: "I am worthy. I am confident. I feel good!"
Thanks to JMS I have a BUNCH of new clothes that are bright, colorful, feminine, functional, flattering and just downright CUTE!
Let me show you my new outfits.
But first, check this out!
You will be amazed at how many JMS pieces you can buy with $200. Here is what I got:
Knee length denim shorts: $15
Dark wash capris: $16
Dark wash jeans: $17 (clearance)
Light wash jeans: $17 (clearance)
Gray workout pants: $14
Black workout pants: $14
White collared shirt: $9
White Popcorn top: $15
White tunic: $12
White Shirred Tie tunic: $5 (clearance)
Black V-Neck tee: $7
Turquoise V-Neck tee: $7
Pink banded ruffle top: $14
Blue banded ruffle top: $14
Plaid tunic: $14
White lace camisole: $10
Grand Total: $200 and tons of mix and match outfits!
Now for the fashion show. Drum roll please.......
Disclaimer: I am not a model, but I have watched America's Next Top Model and therefore may at some point strike some FIERCE poses. Not really...so please do not laugh at my utter lack of fierceness.
Okay....this is me.
Outfit #3
Denim knee length shorts, white "popcorn" shirt
Here is the "popcorn" detail of the shirt. BTW, this is the softest shirt ever!
Outfit #4
Dark denim jeans, white tunic
Check out these details!
No, I don't want a picture of my rear end on the internet, but you gotta love these pockets!
Well, it's out there. So, here's another picture!
I love this shirt. It is so comfortable. You can tie up the bow or just let it hang, like me.
Outfit#5
Light wash denim, pink banded ruffle shirt
It looks like I am doing a "serious" pose here. I just wasn't ready for the picture. But I like it!
Okay, now I'm ready.
I love the details of this top!
I feel flirty!
Here's a shot of the pockets. Cute!
Outfit#6
Dark denim capris, white shirred tie tunic
I buy a lot of white shirts, don't I?
Strike a pose! I'm getting a little too "into" this!
OK! Last but not least. Outfit #7
Gray workout pants, black v-neck
One of my pet peeves is the utter lack of cute plus size workout clothes! We want to look cute at the gym too!
I love these pants (all the JMS pants in fact) because they are nice and long. I hate when pants are too short!
And look at the cute detail on this shirt. Cute for the gym or for casual wear!

Now, you have got to check out the JMS website. It is so much fun. There is a mix and match feature where you can choose a body type and dress it like a paper doll with the whole JMS Spring line. It is actually really fun. There is also a "off the runway" feature where you can see a short video of the JMS Spring fashion show and see the fashions on REAL women. There is also a blog that gives tips for dressing your body type and other cool tidbits for us plus babes.
Okay, now for the "pick yourself off the floor" awesome news. One of you will win a $500 Wal-Mart gift card to have your own JMS shopping spree!
All you have to do is leave a comment on this post and tell me: Which of my new JMS outfits do you like best?

main entry: I love the JMS pink banded ruffle shirt with the jeans with the butterfly embelished back pockets, so pretty. That's what I love about the JMS clothes line they have such hip styles & both the tops pants & sundresses offer great embelishments in beads, lace detail or rushing gathered at the tops bodice front & back. And I love the pink fabric they use called crinkle gauze which is light airy & breezy. Great review thanks

What a gorgeous model. #4 is my favorite. I always have a hard time finding jeans that look good and those looked good.
ecleavitt@gmail.com
Wow! You really know style and how to mix and match. Loved all the outfits. But I think I loved No. 2 the best. What a cute outfit. Checkered shirt that is shapely and fitting. Cute cute.
I follow you on google connect. Thanks!
It was a toss-up between #4 & 5 but I'm gonna say #4 is my fave! Great pics... and how much fun to be able to spend $200 on yourself! :)
Lots of cute stuff! I love outfit #5 -- the pink banded ruffle shirt is so cute, and looks like it would look great in most any size. I like it tied, to show the detail at the top better. Yes, you buy a lot of white shirts! :) White goes with everything, but you look great in color also -- very bright and cheery. The dark denim capris in outfit 6 are really cute too. The below-knee length looks great with the sandals.
I'm not sure what "Google Friend Connect" is, but I added your blog to my Google homepage, and glad to do it. I look forward to reading more from you in the future. :)
I like Outfit#5, Light wash denim, pink banded ruffle shirt best :) *Thanks* for the giveaway!

I think outfit #2 is a keeper! I love that country look...relaxed and feminine all at the same time. And the layered look is so flattering :)
Outfit #2 and #5 are my faves! Both are very flattering and super-cute!
Can I be a dork and mix and match? I LOVE those dark jeans in #4, but I'd totally try pairing it with that adorable shirt in #5.
Wow. $500. I can not even imagine what that would to to my closets!
What a FUN thing to get to do! I actually like all of your outfits, but I think #5 is my fave. You look so cute in that! What fun!!!
Oh my Gosh,This is just what I need!!!!!!! I love outfit number 5!! You were working it for real!!!It looked like a real model shot! Like you see in the window at Cato or something!!

Outfit #5 is my favorite. My daughter said it was cute and loved the butterfly on the jeans.
Love outfit 5
Outfit #6 is great.
Like outfit number 5. Not much of a shorts or capris person. Like my legs covered. Too big! Could really use some new clothes. Haven't bought anything in a long while.
You look fantastic in all of the outfits but my fav is Out #5! Great choice!!
I love the orange top. But I really like the exercize outfit.
fawn@mycomspan.com
The plaid top with lacy thingie, but I'd wear it with a denim skirt.
Wow! Free clothes!
Light wash denim with pink banded shirt is my favorite. Great color on you!
Definately outfit #5! The bright color just looks beautiful on you. I found you on owlhaven.com and I'm enjoying checking out your blog!
Melon colored top with light colored jeans was my fave.... Congrats.
Tracy
I think Outfit #4 is VERY flattering on your figure. Thanks for sharing your shopping spree with us! How fun!
I like outfit #5. There were too many white shirts and I never feel like I look good in a white shirt. The pink really brightened up your face and I love the embroidery on the back pockets of the jeans.
I like # 5 because of the bright colored top then #6 that tie top is so cute!!!
#2! I was a 90s grunge girl, too :) I like the shape of the plaid shirt, and it looks like a really night light cotton, which I love.
I think I like #7 the best, but it was hard to decide. What a neat giveaway!

I like the plaid shirt.
I seriously looked at the orange shirt this morning (also looked at it in turquiose) but I wasn't sure I would like the tie. I do though so I may have to go back and get it.
I love outfit #6 the best. That salmon colored blouse looks wonderful on you and I love those pants too.
Thanks so much.
