Gwynnie Bee Style Resolutions #3: Melissa McCarthy Cardigan

As you know, I’ve partnered with Gwynnie Bee on a plus size style series highlighting my wardrobe resolutions for the new year. This is my third post in highlighting my resolution to seriously upgrade my casual game (catch the first post featuring a City Chic Top here and the second post featuring a Jones New York Duster here)! Today’s look is all about the long cardigan — which is a staple in every fashionista’s casual wardrobe. But this isn’t just any cardigan! This Melissa McCarthy cardigan that I borrowed from my Gwynnie Bee closet has some great details that takes this cardigan to the next level!

At first glance, this outfit doesn’t look THAT casual, but it’s one of the most comfortable outfits I’ve worn this month! Having a simple, 2 tone color palette makes this a more refined look, even though it’s basically just a tank top, leggings and a cardigan.

Before I made my style resolution with Gwynnie Bee, I would have probably never seen this Melissa McCarthy Seven7 Tie Back Cardigan, since I was totally focused on dresses! But I’m so glad I branched out and have been challenging my personal style skills with putting together chic, casual outfits like this. And Gwynnie Bee makes it possible to do that with very little risk, and a lot of reward! This plus size clothing subscription service gives you the freedom to play around with your personal style without investing a ton of money. And if you try something new and don’t like it, it won’t hide in your closet forever taking up space, since you just pop it in a prepaid bag and mail it back!

From the front, this cardigan looks nice, but pretty standard. It’s made out of a nice stretch knit cotton in a dark gray/black color and has long sleeves and drop pockets. But then you turn around and BAM! A pleated chiffon inset with a tie back that transforms this cardigan into something special!
