#GIRLBOSS OOTD: Coral Plus Size Sheath Dress

Dressing like a #GIRLBOSS is as easy as 1. Picking a dress in a bold color and a classic shape 2. Carrying a structured bag big enough to tote your spare shoes and 3. A great pair of shoes. Since my daily work wardrobe is pretty conservative, I try to invest in quality pieces that will last along time and I won’t be fidgeting with during meetings. That quest led me to discover Classiques Entier, which is one of Nordstrom’s house designed brands. These dresses are SO DREAMY and feel absolutely amazing when you slip them on. I don’t know what kind of magic their pattern makers are using, but fit of these dresses are incredible. I couldn’t resist this Classiques Entier Bateau Neck Italian Ponte Knit Sheath Dress in this beautiful, bright coral color when I saw it in the store. I already have the same one in black, but look…CORAL!!!

The dress has a bateau neckline in the front and a v-neck in the back — which makes this style so sophisticated and elegant! The seaming at the waist packs some kind of shaping power – perhaps because of the rounded seaming at the bust? Three-quarter length sleeves and a knee length hem complete the elegant, confident #girlboss look I am going for when I wear this dress!

Found at Lane Bryant: White Plus Size Sailor Pants

SAILOR PANTS, Y’ALL! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I swooped through my local Lane Bryant. I saw, big, beautiful, bright white, wide-leg, high waisted sailor pants–complete with gold buttons down the front. I fell in love instantly…and had to take them home and give them a whirl right away!

Definitely size up — I’m an 18/20 at Lane Bryant, and went with the 20 so that the buttons laid right across my tummy. Find a way to show off the buttons — either tuck in your shirt or wear a crop top. I went with black, but navy and any type of stripe will look fantastic! On my 5’9 frame, the pants were just a smidge too short, but I imagine that shorter gals will love where the hem falls with heels. So, there we are…my dream of plus size sailor pants has finally come true!!!

Quirky Plus Size OOTD: Penguin Shirt and Red Skater Skirt

Sometimes I just want to wear something fun and a bit quirky–particularly on the weekends. So today, I pulled out this adorable sequined Ulla Popken Studio Untold Penguin Shirt and a Red Skater Skirt that I got a few months ago from Fullbeauty.com. Even though these items aren’t available any more, this is an easy look to replicate! Take a fun tshirt or light sweater with a cute animal on it (check out this Flamingo Sequined Sweatshirt or this Parrot Sequin Shirt), and pair it with a brightly colored full circle skirt. From there…you can add leggings and boots for warmth or just some simple flats when it gets warmer. It’s a simple look that will have you feeling fun and carefree while you’re running around this weekend!
