Summer Lovin’ this Kiyonna Passport Peplum Top

Did you know that besides fabulous plussize dresses, Kiyonna also has some great separates?! Their skirts are must-haves, and their tops are full of unique touches and vintage flair that add an essential spark to your wardrobe. This Passport Peplum Top in a bold multi-stripe pattern is a perfect example! The colorful pattern is whimsical, while the peplum shape and the princess seaming does wonders for plussize figures. The slightly belled sleeves end at the elbow, and the bow and keyhole neckline are fun and flirty touches. There’s plenty of summer left to flaunt this top with skinny jeans or a cute pencil skirt. Add colorful accessories and a big smile, and you’ll end the season on a high note!

Classic Look with a Neon Twist: Sporty OOTD in Calvin Klein and Eloquii

What’s more classic than a black pencil skirt and a white top? But add some neon pumps, some quirky jewelry and leather accents, and you have a modern, fun twist on a classic outfit. Perfect for injecting some creativity in the daily grind of my office wardrobe.

Plussize Calvin Klein White Top and Eloquii Leather Skirt

This great plussize Calvin Klein top from Macy’s has mesh inserts at the shoulder and some wrap ruching details that walk the line between sporty and classic. And I absolutely love this leather panel pencil skirt I scored at Eloquii before they transitioned to an online store. The funky beaded necklace I picked up at Forever21 for almost nothing…and the neon peep toe heels were a great find from DSW last season. Who says fashion has to always be new???

When you want to add a bit of fun to an outfit–with a statement necklace and statement heels, keep the rest of your outfit simple and classic. That’s the way to really make it pop!

Orange is the New Black: Plussize Calvin Klein Orange Zip Front Moto Dress

I bought this fabulous orange Calvin Klein Plus Size Sleeveless Zip-Front Moto Dress when it first debuted in Macy’s plussize section, and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to get a post up. Orange is having a major moment this season…and not just because of the show! The color is so fresh…and when it comes in this sporty moto silhouette with these great gold zippers, I could not resist!

The color of this alone makes it stand out, but then you add the unique zip front and moto feel, you have yourself a sporty-meets-classy, all around attention-getting dress that’s appropriate for work and for after-hours drinks!

Throw on some sporty heels and gold accessories, and you’re done!
