“Hello 8plus Diva Fans,

My Name is Shenina Mason from Hayward, CA. I’m a wife and  mother of two toddlers.  So I am a budget and bargain Queen! I am a beautiful and healthy size 16.  Women of this size know it’s always a mission while shopping, so I am taking you to one  of my favor places to shop for fall.

When it comes to my style, I’m very  fun, colorful, and creative but I don’t like to break the bank doing it. But  when it comes to fall fashion, sometimes I leave the color out on rainy days. But  if I do color I keep it very simple and cute. I also love outfits that fit more  than one occasion that always help living on a budget. Most of the season I wear  solid dark colors.

This year’s season’s must have is prints (leopard,  zebra) mix with any color like brown, red, blue, yellow or purple. Yes I said  purple with leopard that’s for those who love to be different. I choose  Burlington Coat Factory because it’s a one stop shop (so to say). Like most  women accessories make my outfit from my earrings down to my shoes and this store have it all. I have made many trips to this store and every time I found  what I was looking for sometimes shopping at a department store can be a big  headache, things never in its correct spot, or bad quality clothes. I’m not much of a name brand person so I  don’t really waste my time searching for them. But the best thing about this  store is if you do go after Applebottom, Babyphat, Deron, Ecko, or Steve Madden  this is the place to go to stay on top and save. At the end of my shopping trip  I walked out with one pair of shoes that match three different outfits.

Outfit number 1. Black pants/leopard print top gold  earring/ brown low boots booty   

Outfit  number2. Black and brown tiger print dress/ black accessories/ brown low  boots  

Outfit  number3. Black and tan dress/black or gold accessories/black or brown  shoes

Out of all the places I shop, overall Burlington Coat Factory  keeps me coming back, for purses, shoes, accessories, and outfits that make $ense for my buck for my entire family. I love this place.
