This year is a total Plus Size Revolution! The recent Lane Bryant #PlusisEqual campaign has helped highlight the increasing acceptance of plus size women on runways and in magazines. It’s been amazing to watch and to be a part of. How many times, as a plus size woman, have you been overwhelmed with choices?? It seems to be happening more and more to me lately, and I am reveling in that feeling! This outfit is one more example of how on point Lane Bryant is this season. This simple Venetian Red Ponte Circle Skirt fits perfectly, and paired with this Black Mock Neck Top, I’m feeling all sorts of fierce and fabulous.
Have you heard all of the amazing news from Lane Bryant and their #PlusisEqual campaign for New York Fashion Week? I’ve been loving all of the pictures posted by my fellow plus size bloggers and models who were lucky enough to be in NY for the launch party. So, instead of being jealous, I am celebrating here in Chicago by featuring an all Lane Bryant outfit. And YES, that is a CAMO SEQUIN PENCIL SKIRT!! Lane Bryant put out this Camo Sequin Pencil Skirt a month or two ago and I was obsessed from the minute I saw it. Did you know that the fashion gods have deemed sequins appropriate for day wear?? Well, I wanted to test that out and came up with this work-to-event look — entirely from Lane Bryant.
Lane Bryant Outfit: Camo Sequin Pencil Skirt; Distressed Denim Jean Jacket; Grosgrain Tank in Veiled Rose; Metallic Strappy Heel in Rose Quartz
Pairing this amazing camo skirt with a blush pink tank top plays with the idea of hard/soft…and the addition of the jean jacket adds a casual element that makes this whole outfit work for daytime. Simply remove the jacket to transition to evening!
A note on sizing: the camo pencil skirt runs small — order one or two sizes up! Also, if you have wide width feet, you’ll love these heels — so pretty and very roomy!!
I also decided to try out the Cobalt Eyeshadow trend with this look…very dramatic — but still not sure how I feel about it! lol
So, there you have it. Be bold and wear those sequins to the office — I know you want to!
Have you noticed that I’m slightly obsessed with polka dots this season?!? I just can’t seem to get enough of this fun print — it goes with everything and immediately make me happy–even on a rainy day. Today’s outfit features this City Chic Midi Spot Skirt with a mint green Vince Camuto Sleeveless Blouse from Nordstrom. On my lunch break earlier this summer, I wandered down to the Ju Ming Sculpture in downtown Chicago and had my coworker snap these pics.

This outfit was a staple of my work wear this summer, but I’m already planning to transition it into fall! Black tights and a black cardigan will give this skirt life well into the early winter months.
OK, I’m sure you’ve heard the hype…Target debuted a new plus size line called Ava & Viv, with the help of some fab plus size bloggers. Have you tried it yet? I was a little skeptical with their first collection…but all of that changed when I found these amazing Ava & Viv Black and White Ankle Pants. TO.DIE.FOR! I had to have them, and I’ve seriously worn them every other day to work this entire summer. So…I thought I’d give Target and Ava & Viv some love and showcase how I’ve been strutting my stuff in these pants. PSSSST they are on clearance right now. Snag them before they’re gone—but be sure you size UP. I’m normally a size 18, but I bought a size 20, and they are still a little tight!
Summer is winding down, and I am so behind on my style posts…I’m going to try to squeeze them all in before the weather turns! So check back daily to see my newest looks. 🙂
I’m  so so so ready for fall!!  I was thrilled when Yours Clothing, an awesome online plus size boutique out of England, asked me to come up with a Fall Style Post. This fall, I’m totally feelin’ the plaid, the khaki and the leather. So I immediately gravitated toward this Green and Navy Checked Tunic with a tie waist from Yours Clothing. I’m all about the shirt dresses, and this was a perfect, versatile option for the coming season.
Wear it bare-legged (like me!) or pair it with leggings or skinny jeans for a perfect casual fall outfit. And OMG…all of my curvy readers are always asking about wide-calf boots, and I’ve hit the holy grail with Yours Clothing! I’m sporting the Brown Leather Knee High Riding Boot with Buckle…which comes all the way up to an EEE width!
And can we talk about your coat game this fall? LOOK. Look at how amazing this lightweight Green Khaki Cocoon Shaped Parka Jacket with Drape Front is!!!
I’m SO ready for FALL! If you need some fun, on-trend fall fashion options, definitely check out Yours Clothing UK!
