I’ve been searching for the most comfortable and flattering dress ever made in the history of the world…and I FOUND IT!! This Kiyonna Chameleon Convertible piece transitions flawlessly between a dress and a skirt…and it’s made of the softest, most amazing material! I was so completely sold on it…that I arrived at vive la femme in a totally different outfit…tried this on…immediately bought it and refused to take it off. 🙂 Here are three ways to switch up your look in this Convertible dress.
Look #1: Strapless bandeaux dress
For hot end-of-summer days, wear it strapless–that’s right…bare those arms!!!–and add a statement necklace in a bright color. 🙂
I’m 5’9, so as a dress, it hits me just above the ankle, just FYI.
Look #2: Dress with a cardi or wrap — perfect for the office!
This look isn’t really that different, but adding a black wrap or cardi dresses up this casual look and makes it appropriate for the office.
Look #3: As a SKIRT!
Wearing this Kiyonna piece as a skirt is fantastic because it’s actually long enough for us tall girls! The ability to wear it as a skirt doubles the use of this piece and makes it multi-season. Add a top, a wrap and some tights…and this will take you all the way through fall!

Even though I have a plussize fashion blog and take a million pictures of myself, I’ve never considered myself a plussize model. But I was thrilled when a local fashion show producer asked if I was interested in participating in this year’s Mo Rockin’ Fashion Fest in Wicker Park! And…how awesome is it that they wanted plussize models in the fashion show to begin with??? When I found out that I would be walking in clothes from vive la femme…I was completely sold. 🙂 So…I made my debut on the catwalk!!
I appeared in the afternoon show representing vive la femme and wore the fantastic Kiyonna Whimsy Wrap Dress. I paired it with my own hot red heels, and an amazing red parasol from Elevensees. Even though it was a swelteringly hot day…it was a blast. I’m so glad I got to participate and spend the day as a model. 🙂
I had a blast!! It was great representing the curvy ladies on the catwalk! And the icing on the cake was that I got to do it in a Kiyonna dress on behalf of vive la femme. 🙂
…this Kiyonna Kelly Swimsuit would definitely make a splash! How fantastic is this? It’s got a totally retro vibe thing going on with the ruching, awesome sweetheart neckline, and cute flippy ruffle! And isn’t this ruby color to DIE for???? I was a little nervous about doing a swimsuit shoot, but my friend Perry from Alluring Chicago took these awesome photos and helped me strike some poses. She’s absolutely wonderful, and I had such a blast pretending to be a plussize swimsuit model for a day. 🙂
How gorgeous is this Graphic Rupture Print Siren Satin Dress by Kiyonna?? I am honored to be a part of Kiyonna’s Blogger Brigade, which features real women with curves in Kiyonna’s signature dresses.
This dress was everything I could hope for: a flattering sweetheart neckline, a ladylike length, slim arms (that lay nicely under a cardigan), and a great retro-feeling silhouette. To take these pics, my friend Wendy and I moseyed down to the Allegro Hotel and had some fun posing all over the lobby. This dress is on sale right now for $96! And Kiyonna just released their Screen Siren collection, which has me swooning! Check out Kiyonna right now!
