Plus Size Winter Wear feat. Melissa McCarthy Seven7

I’m a sucker for a great sweater with a faux fur collar! This sweater from Melissa McCarthy’s line Seven7 is so warm and fun…I was channeling Game of Thrones the entire time I was wearing it! I got it at Nordstrom, but it’s already sold out there…you can find a white version at Macy’s here or the black version at Lord & Taylor here. This was the perfect outfit to run around town in on a cold winter day!!!

Casual Friday OOTD: White Jeans and Dusty Rose Sweater

As a plus size gal, I’ve nearly always stayed away from white pants and white jeans because I could never find ones that were flattering, thick enough to not see my underwear through, and long enough for my 5’9 height. Once I found these skinny jeans from Woman Within on Fullbeauty.com I became a believer…and I even went so far as to embrace winter white! This look is so fresh that it reminds me of spring, even though it is toasty warm and perfect for chilly winter weather. And can we talk about this Chunky Tweed Cardigan from Roaman’s — also one of Fullbeauty.com’s brands??! This dusty rose color is everything!!! This is the perfect Winter Casual Friday look!

A Luxe Date Night Look feat. Tees by Tina

Usually I laugh my size 18/20 butt off when I read the words “one size fits all,” so imagine my surprise to find a label that made tops, tunics and leggings that my size 2 friend and I can both fit into! Seriously, my friend and I were wandering down the streets of Charleston and we pop into a boutique called Tina Stephens — I didn’t think for a minute that there would be anything in that store for me. But when I started talking to the sales people, they told me about their Tees by Tina line that is made out of a special stretch fabric and is intended to fit a wide range of sizes. I fell in love so hard that I bought this awesome tunic dress, a cashmere sweater (size xl) and some leggings!

I put this luxe “One Size Fits All” look together the other night for a date night out with my man and felt so sexy!
