Its no coincidence that my birthday is the same day I start my blog. Partly because I'm terrible with dates and it would be convenient if the two shared a day. But mostly because birthdays are kind of reminiscent of New Years Eve: the two tend to incite people to make ridiculous amounts of resolutions. I'm tired of the "I'm going to lose weight" tune.
I like my size. So this year's birthday resolution is to start my own blog.
So who am I? Dar. Pleased to meet you. I'm a big girl with a debilitating sweet tooth. I love fashion and everything that encompasses it. Unfortunately, the two don't always see eye to eye. Plus sized fashion in Toronto isn't exactly what you would call fabulous or accessible. Its a stewing pot of "something your mom wouldn't wear" to "your mom probaly wore that last week" to "that looks like its kind of on trend." Not promising for me or those like me. But I manage. In spite of, or maybe because of my size, I'm able to pull off outfits that are trendy and indicative of my personal style.
What makes me an authority on plus size fashion? Never said I was. On the other hand, my friends have stated that I'm well dressed and strangers tend to ask me "where did you get that?" I'm not boastful but I'm always confident in what I wear and I'm confident that I won't steer you wrong.
Why "Delectable Dar?" Well I'm blessed with incredible and intelligent friends and one such friend, Tenille aka Nelly, bestowed me with this catchy moniker "Dar's Delectables" for my other
website where I sell fondant cakes (I love pastries so much I decided to sell them). When thinking of my name for my blog I couldn't get past it. So I turned it upside down and you have Delectable Dar.
I don't have a picture of my birthday outfit from today, but to give you a clue of my style I'll add a photo from a wedding I attended recently.
