Happy Sunday! It’s been a dark and stormy mess in Chicago all weekend, which made me stay in and snuggle into soft knits! But the clouds finally lifted and I was able to venture out onto my porch for my favorite Sunday ritual: Coffee and Magazines! Y’all don’t see me in my casual wear very often, but here’s a glimpse of a favorite plus size sweatshirt from Avenue: the Sunday Funday sweatshirt.

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!
Riders by Lee is hosting a Riders Style Challenge, and I’m one of the contestants! Go to their Facebook post and vote for me! You can help me win a prize, but you could also win a free pair of Riders by Lee jeans ($30 value!). Riders by Lee asked me and two other fantastic bloggers to choose a pair of their Beautiful Comfort jeans and style 3 outfits with them. Here’s my first look of 3. For this outfit, I wanted to be flirty and casual, so I paired the jeans with a pale pink “love” sweater, a black and white striped top and my fringe boots.
No more boring casual outfits! In my last post, I mentioned that Gwynnie Bee, the plus size clothing subscription service, challenged me to make a Style Resolution this year, and mine was to seriously pump up my casual, off-duty looks, which had been taking second place to my workwear outfits. So, instead of throwing on whatever tshirt was on the floor of my bedroom, I decided to be much more intentional and focused on my casual style this year. My second Gwynnie Bee style post features this Drape Front Mixed Media Duster from Jones New York, and it’s a little out of this world!
When Gwynnie Bee asked me what my plus size style resolution was for 2017, I had to take a moment to think. It’s January, and everyone is making resolutions — and some have already broken them! Even though New Year’s Resolutions get a bad rap, I love them, and make resolutions for every area of my life — including my personal style! So when Gwynnie Bee asked me what I wanted to accomplish with my style this year, I took the question seriously. After much thought, I’ve decided that my plus size style resolution for 2017 is: to seriously up my casual game this year.
