Holiday Style: Festive Plaid Tunic from Foxcroft

There’s just something about PLAID that makes me feel all cozy and festive…and lucky for me, it’s on all the holiday must-have lists this season! Foxcroft is the master of the button down shirt…and has some adorable plaid plussize tunics that I can’t get enough of! This Plussize Foxcroft Wrinkle Free Tunic is perfect for a casual, festive look will that will keep you in high style when you’re running around doing all of your holiday errands.

Foxcroft offers a wide range of plussize tops and tunics and sweaters that are specifically designed for curves…which means…you don’t get the crazy “straining over the boobs” look that made me avoid button down tops for years. And I love this tunic, because it hits below the hips…making it a perfect pairing for skinny jeans and flats.

Wardrobe Staple: Skinny Tees Camis and Tank Tops Come in Plus Size

You cannot overestimate the power and all-consuming need for good tank tops and camis in your wardrobe. For every girl, of course…but it’s especially essential for curvy girls who need more cleavage coverage than many styles provide. A few months ago, I found out about Skinny Tees, a company that specializes in tank tops and camisoles made from a super comfortable and super-slimming spandex and nylon fabric. I was thrilled to find out that their signature cami is offered in size “And a Little More” which fits a nice range of plussizes.

I’ve worn it countless times since I got it…and I’m sure I’ll be getting it in several of the other colors — it comes in 10!
When I first featured this tank, I wore it with a cashmere sweater and leopard print pants (See the full post here)…And here, I am wearing the Skinny Tee “And A Little More” cami with a fabulous kimono style top from Nordstrom Rack.

And how cute is the packaging? The tank top came rolled up like a little gift, with a bag of sweets, a sample of woolite and a special delicates bag to wash the tank in to keep it looking new. So cute!

So…put the Skinny Tee on your list of wardrobe staples. It’s comfortable, versatile…and I estimate that the one size “And a little more” will fit up to a 3X. I love companies like this that are size inclusive!

Even among all of this glitz and glamour, Kiyonna’s Velvet Luxe Wrap Dress is in a league of its own.
