I Heart JMS (Just My Size) $500 Wal-Mart Giftcard Giveaway through 8/31/10

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!

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.

And this is outfit #1
Denim knee length shorts and a white collared shirt

I love the feminine ruffle details.

Outfit #2
Denim knee length shorts, white lace cami and plaid shirt

Fun, huh? I participated in the 90's grunge phase, so I love me some plaid!

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!

Well, there you go! A special thanks to my husband for helping me "work it " for the camera!

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?
