I call this my Adele dress…it’s so sophisticated and beautiful, and I feel that at any moment, I might burst into a soulful ballad! This Roaman’s Organza Trim Midi Dress is another amazing find from Fullbeauty.com!
I love the fit and flare silhouette with the organza illusion neckline! The organza striped panels on the skirt add even more interest and detail to this sophisticated LBD. Paired with these J. Renee Winda Pumps, I can dance the night away! It’s rare for me to give up my high heels, but these kitten heels with the awesome mesh cut outs were so perfect for this dress, I had to have them.
Every woman needs a fabulous, reliable LBD in her closet — and preferably one with fun details that make you actually want to wear that dress multiple times. This Rosette Sheath Dress from Love Lianca is an absolute classic — a black sheath with a v-neck, but with the added spice of a sheer rosette overlay on the skirt. It’s sophisticated — it’s classic — and it’s the kind of LBD that you can go back to time and time again.
Sometimes, I want to change in my bright colors and go for a classic, sexy little black dress. I love putting together looks that are dark, mysterious, with a little edge to them like the Film Noir heroines of the 40s and 50s! This Kiyonna Riveting Ruched Bodycon Plus Size Dress* is everything my film noir-loving, LBD-craving, fabulous dress-wearing heart desires!
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.
City Chic One Shoulder Drape Plus Size Maxi Dress; Rag & Bone Gold Boots; Betsey Johnson Lightening Bolt Clutch
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!
Can leather can be classy and elegant?? I love leather looks, but sometimes they can verge on the harsher, give-me-a-whip side of fashion. So I absolutely had to try this plus size Leather Sheath Dress from Jessica London that I saw on Fullbeauty.com. I went with black (although it comes in a gorgeous shade of dark raisin too!) and I awaited the package with a lot of excitement and a little bit of dread. Leather doesn’t stretch or give at all, so will it fit? Will I look like a dominatrix in this dress? Where on earth will I wear it??? All of these questions bounced around my head. But…when it came and I slipped it on…it fit perfectly! And as you can see, it’s a simply elegant and tasteful LBD. No whips needed!
I didn’t want to go over the top with accessories, so I just wore a simple necklace and earrings, a streamlined clutch and simple leather bangle. The strappy sandals provided just a hint of the dark sex-appeal that leather is known for, but definitely doesn’t go over the top.
