Plus Size Summer Style: City Chic Yellow Plus Size Dress

This heat wave here in Chicago doesn’t seem to be slowing down! And when it’s this hot, I want to be wearing next to nothing. I want something light and airy that doesn’t cling to my sweat-soaked body. And thankfully, City Chic has tons of adorable plus size dresses that keep me cool and looking cute no matter how hot it gets! Here’s a cheery little number…the Sunshine Striped Tunic in a color called Daffodil.

My Favorite City Chic Dress: The Succulent Sweetie

I fell madly in love with this City Chic Succulent Sweetie dress the moment I saw it in Nordstrom over a year ago! The PRINT — SO vibrant and bold…and unexpected!!! I mean…succulents? On a dress??? And it’s not just any dress…it’s this amazing fit-and-flare party dress that’s made out of crepe de chine and has a fabulous tulle underskirt to make the skirt stand out…just so! It’s a win from top to bottom…and you can see I felt like a million bucks in it. And…lucky you — some sizes are still available in this dress at City Chic, Macy’s and Bloomingdales. Snag one if you can!!!

Summer Essentials from Gwynnie Bee: Fresh Squeezed Orange

If you’ve seen my Instagram account this month, you’ll know that only one color is calling my name this season: ORANGE. I can’t get enough of this bright, fun and unexpected hue! One of my favorite orange plus size dresses is this City Chic Zip Front Tunic Dress that I got from Gwynnie Bee. It’s a fresh squeezed summer essential and I can’t stop wearing it!

Get Ready to Sail Away in this City Chic Sundress

It’s nearly sundress weather and I’m already packing them in to my closet! This City Chic Riviera Handkerchief Hem Sundress has me longing for a day out on a sailboat or at a summer barbecue. I know, I know…I’m not a huge fan of the handkerchief hem trend that we’ve been having in plus sizes for about 3 years now, but it works on this dress because it’s breezy and light and catches the wind just right.

The French blue and white abstract pattern of this sundress is fresh and can be dressed up or down with just a switch in your shoes. Simple neckline and adjustable straps…simple, easy, and stylish. I found mine at my local Nordstrom, but City Chic is in several stores and online marketplaces, so I’m sure you’ll be able to find it or another fabulous sundress to add to your spring/summer wardrobe!

Neon Florals in Sunset Hues in this City Chic Dress

LOOK! These colors are amazing! Bright oranges and blues and teals! This City Chic plus size maxi dress is everything a floral-dress-lover could want. I’ve had a not-so-secret obsession with City Chic, and I love that they are becoming easier and easier to find! They have been in Nordstrom for a few years, and online since the beginning. But now they’re in Macy’s and on Gwynnie Bee as well as part of the Fullbeauty suite of brands! I spotted this dress on Fullbeauty.com, but sadly they are already sold out (but check out the other fabulous City Chic pieces they care here)! It’s clear that City Chic is taking over the world…and why not? With killer dresses like this at fabulous price points, I can’t help but be a huge fan.

It’s the bright colors that are the most stunning part of the dress, but the design is also great. The bodice has seaming under the bust and smocking around the waist to provide a more defined shape. The rest of the fabric is light and flowy, skimming your curves. And the high-low hemline actually works with this silhouette, giving it a freedom and lightness of movement.
