It’s no secret that I have tons and tons of plus size dresses bursting my closet at the seams. That’s one of the reasons I recently revamped my online store (ACCESS IT HERE) so that I could let some of my clothes breathe! I have so many dresses that it’s hard for me to find the ones I truly love. In fact, I recently rediscovered this City Chic black floral fit-and-flare plus size dress in the back of my closet and wore it out with my boyfriend for date night. Then I realized that I had never posted the adorable pictures I took of it from over a year ago! I still had my short bob (totally miss it now!!) and the snow was just starting to melt. I love this dress for it’s feminine 50s shape, flared out skirt (it has netting underneath!) and the elbow length sleeves. It fits like a glove!
And of course, we took these pictures at high noon (a big photoshoot no-no), so this is pretty much how I spent the whole shoot!
Aren’t these florals just so bold and beautiful?! They jump right off the black background! Sadly, it’s already sold out, but the good news for you is that it will be coming to my online store soon!!! If you want to call dibs on it, email me and I’ll put it aside for you!
I love that this dress goes so well with black tights and colorful shoes! It makes it appropriate for all seasons. 🙂
Whew, we took a break and came back outside when it wasn’t so sunny!
I’m a southern girl from Alabama, and I grew up with overflowing hydrangea bushes in my front yard. So I had to have this amazing Plus Size Hydrangea Print Dress from City Chic the moment I saw it! The print is so bold and saturated, and the shape is flirty and feminine–complete with a tulle underskirt that helps the skirt flare out in a fabulous full way.
Plus size fashion has come a long way in the past few years! I distinctly remember the moment – 2 years ago – that I found this plus size One Shouldered Drape Maxi Dress from City Chic at my local Nordstrom. Nordstrom had just started carrying the Australian brand, and I was so thrilled to find young, modern and more affordable plus size dresses within my reach. It was a big deal and in my mind, truly revealed the coming changes in the plus size retail industry.

I wore this strikingly modern black drape dress to Chicago Latino Fashion Week in 2013 and experienced one of the highs of my life in fashion. Everyone — and I mean everyone — thought that I was a designer or one of the models in the show. Paired with bold accessories like these Gold Boots from Rag & Bone and this Lightening Bolt Pink and Gold clutch and these bright aqua blue earrings, and I felt like a goddess.
Sadly, this dress is no longer in stock, but you can check out City Chic’s Other Fab Maxi Dresses here or visit Nordstrom’s website here.
It was a great night, and this dress made it even more special. The draping, the modern loose fit and the unexpected details make this a dress that I’ll be keeping for years to come!
I can’t wait for SPRING!! This City Chic Hot Bloom Dress from Fullbeauty.com is getting me in the mood for bold florals, bright colors and warmer temperatures! One look at this dress, and you can’t help but long for spring. Maybe if we all just start wearing our spring dresses, mother nature will give into the pressure…thoughts???
I can’t wait to shed my puffy coat for a lighter trenchcoat, like this Pastel Blue one from Woman Within, also found on Fullbeauty.com.
Read my lips! Embrace your quirkiness this Valentine’s Day! Bring out your graphic tee and get our your harem pants on. Wear your red lips and your high heels and don’t forget your sassy fresh attitude! This Lip Print top is actually a fabulous bodycon dress from Boohoo Plus that I bought last year. Unfortunately, it’s not available any more, but I still pull it out when I really want to make a statement! This year, I found these awesome City Chic Wrap Front Harem Pants at Nordstrom and this funky, fabulous V-day look was born!
