Plus Size Abstract Maxi from Avenue

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!

Lemons on the Beach: Plus Size Swimsuit featuring Forever 21 Plus

Forever 21 Plus has really stepped up their plus size fashion game lately. Not only did they debut a plus size activewear line recently, but they are continuing to put out some of the absolute MOST DARLING plus size swimsuits on the market right now. I bought my first “fatkini” at Forever 21 last year, and it’s still one of my absolute favorites (see the post here). This year, I was all set to buy another 2-piece, but as soon as I laid eyes on this ADORABLE Forever 21 Plus Size Lemon/Leaf One-Piece, I had to have it!

This one-piece plus size swimsuit features a vibrant, lush leaf pattern with pops of cheery yellow lemons throughout! It’s ruched down the front and has a retro halter neckline. The overall effect is magic for curvy bodies — and creates a retro “bathing beauty” silhouette. When I put on these Saint Laurent 102 Surf Retro Sunglasses from Nordstrom, I nearly swooned at the sight of them together!

It’s still cold here in Chicago (it was only 42 degrees when we did this shoot!!), but I’m already dreaming of how and when and where I’m going to wear this swimsuit this season!
