Welcome to part 2 of my post featuring the adorable Twirling Tulle Skirt from Kiyonna. The first look was classic and casual…but for my second look, I thought I’d come up with a stylish outfit that I could wear to the office and out for drinks with the girls!
These pictures were snapped at the boathouse on Montrose Beach next to Lake Michigan. It was a cold, windy day, and even though my hair was a mess, I felt so cute that I didn’t care!
I just found out that these skirts will be available in Red and Blue exclusively for Gwynnie Bee customers, so add one to your closet when they’re released!
Tulle! This soft, flowy, floating airy Tulle Skirt from Kiyonna is perfectly suited to twirling the day away in the conservatory! Actually…it’s perfectly suited for just about any occasion…it’s so fresh and feminine and can be paired with just about anything in your closet. I came up with two different looks to showcase the versatility of this skirt.

Crop tops and midriff-baring shapes are everywhere this season, amiright? And why should we plussize girls miss out on the fun? I’m not saying that they’re always the classiest look…but I was seduced by this Olivia Floral Cutout Dress from Fashion to Figure (similar here), and I knew I just had to try it…
When I saw this dress on the website, I knew it could go either way–it could have been unique and fabulous…or it could have been a total disaster. In fact, when I showed my photographer (the fantastic Meredyth), she thought it was hideous and was convinced that I would hate it!
Well, I ended up loving it–and, while she may never where it, she admitted that it looked great on. 🙂 I think it was the subtlety of the cutout that won me over…the dramatic long sleeves, kitchy print and small peek-a-boo cutout midriff never scream, “Look at my belly!” But the combo is just daring enough to make you feel glamorous and unique…
What do you think? Will you rock the cutout midriff trend this season?
Ok, I admit it, until today, I’ve never actually worn a white suit… and the one pair of white linen pants I bought 6 years ago languished in my closet…unloved and unworn. But white is having a major moment right now, and I’ve recently had visions of bright white suits dancing in my head–so elegant, fresh and refined. Well, I will NOT be denied. When I saw the spring collection from Jessica London, I knew it was time to make the dream of the “great white suit” a reality.

The trick to a white suit for plussize women is to make sure the pants are streamlined…while the material is thick enough to lay nicely and not see-through. These Jessica London Stretch Denim Jeggings were just right for my shape! I like a very slim fit through the leg, and I balance the look with a looser top half. An elastic waistband makes for easy on-and-off and lays flat underneath your shirts, instead of the bulk of a button and zipper. Also, I love that they hit right at the ankle, which shows off your cute summer sandals and pedi perfectly!
I’m So Miami-Vicing it here, right???
This Jessica London Single-Breasted Linen Blazer in white has a nice weight to it and looks fantastic paired with white denim jeggings. For those of you who like a roomier, boxier fit to your blazers, this one is meant for you! Many of my plussize gal pals like blazers that cover their bums and hang below the hips, so if that is what you’re looking for, I encourage you to try this one. It does run a bit big, so I would recommend sizing down.
The weather is being frustratingly temperamental…spring one day and winter the next. The only joy to be found in this is the search for perfect transitional outfits. When I went home to Alabama to visit my family recently, it was warmer than Chicago, but still cool. I put together this casual and oh-so-cute outfit for running around town with my sis. This Jessica London Classic Boatneck Tshirt dress in bright jade stripe went perfectly with a cropped denim jacket, camel color leather boots, and gold accessories.
I’m pretty sure there’s nothing as comfortable as a tshirt dress! And this one from Jessica London is so soft and comfortable. With a loose fit, 3/4 length sleeves, and to-the-knee hemline, it just screams spring staple!
