I’m having a love affair with bright colors this summer…and my heart leaped with joy when I added this coral and nude Jessica Howard sheath dress to my Gwynnie Bee basket. I knew immediately that I wanted to pop it with teal accessories. Coral and teal…popping a bright color with bright accessories!

My assessment: excellent fit, great color, and a perfect dress to brighten up the office. It’s one of this week’s new arrivals at Gwynnie Bee, so be sure to add it to your queue! Still don’t have an account? Sign up here.

Gwynnie Bee is this amazing new clothing concept…It’s like Netflix, but for plussize fashion! Once you sign up for an account, you can browse hundreds of beautiful items from some truly great plussize labels, add the pieces you want to try to your cart, and voila! You’ll start receiving the clothes in the mail. Once you’ve worn the item and are ready to send it back, just pop it into one of the prepaid envelopes and drop it in the mail! 

The concept is “clothing without commitment” and that is an amazingly fresh idea for curvy gals for two big reasons. First, so many of plussize clothing retailers are only online, and with the variations in sizing, it can be a hassle to purchase something and return it because it doesn’t fit. The other big reason is that when we–as shoppers–make purchases, we usually stick to the shapes, styles and colors that we’re comfortable with, and rarely take a chance on something bold and trendy. Gwynnie Bee solves both of those issues with this “subscription” service. For a monthly fee, you get to take chances with your style…and even if it doesn’t work out…you’re not forced to leave it in your closet month after month–mocking you and taking up real estate.

Your wardrobe stays fresh and on-trend…and your closet will thank you. But…if you truly love a piece and can’t live without it, you DO have the option of buying it! Just email gwynnie@gwynniebee.com, and their buyer will work with you to make the purchase. How awesome is that??!

For my first Gwynnie Bee experience, I chose to go classic. This Coldwater Creek beaded boucle jacket was totally shouting “CHANEL” and “power suit” at me, so even though it’s a little heavy for summer, I rocked it at the office.

I’m going to have a blast with Gwynnie Bee items over the next few months, and I can’t wait to show you the outfits I create!
