This plus size maxi dress from Avenue is so fun! When Avenue asked me to collaborate with them on a couple of style posts, I jumped at the chance and immediately gravitated toward this Muted Abstract Maxi Wrap dress. You know chesty, curvy girls love a good wrap dress, and this deep surplice v-neckline lays perfectly over the chest! The muted abstract pattern is bright, but not overpowering. Overall, it’s an easy-to-wear, relaxed dress that will be a great addition to your summer wardrobe. I already tried it out at North Avenue Beach here in Chicago!

I cannot get enough of this plus size dress in marble print from ASOS Curve. It fits perfectly! And the print is just divine! With the wrap front and the ruched sides, it’s flattering to your curves…and I love the stretchy knit fabric and the higher neckline. The way this dress nips in at the waist and then wraps over the hips helps disguise your belly (if you’re an apple shape like me). It’s a gorgeous dress in a strong silhouette that’s at home at the office and also at a happy hour any night of the week!

Each year, Macy’s hosts a Flower Show at several of their flagship stores around the country. Gorgeous flowers, arranged in thematic settings…so beautiful, so fresh! It’s a gorgeous celebration of spring, and I love seeing what they come up with every year! This year’s theme was America the Beautiful, and every garden was set up to capture the spirit and natural beauty of each region of the country…the southeast, east, southwest, west, midwest and pacific northwest. I was so inspired by the Flower Show that I just had to do a photo shoot — even though the lighting was set up to highlight the flowers and (gasp!) not fashion bloggers attempting to steal the spotlight.
The three looks that I chose worked well with the gardens from the southeast, southwest and Rockies region.
First, the southeast, which is an environment I’m very familiar with, since I’m from Alabama! I chose a mint color, two tone sleeveless sheath dress from Calvin Klein to evoke the charm and refinement that characterizes southern fashion.

Next, I completely fell in love with this off-the-shoulder ruffled royal blue dress. I had a vision that it would perfectly match the southwest landscape and couldn’t help but add a flower headress!

And for my third dress, I went with a more sleek silhouette with a mod, colorblocked design that evoked the scenery of the Rockies to me.

Happy Easter from Style Plus Curves! I’m celebrating spring with florals, florals, florals! Also…hats! I try to take any and all chances to wear a hat and gloves! The fashion scene is sadly lacking hats and Easter is one of the few times where people in the U.S. will wear them! So, here’s my perfect Easter Sunday outfit: this ASOS CURVE Wiggle Dress in Garden Floral Print and this vintage bonnet and vintage gloves. So fresh, so ladylike, so spring!
