I found the most adorable plus size red peplum top at Fashion to Figure! If you haven’t heard of this retailer, you need to check it out immediately. Trendy, fun pieces at truly affordable prices. It’s fast fashion, so items turn over quickly and there’s always something new. Like Forever 21, you’ll find unique clothes that push the traditional envelope for plus size gals — hemlines are higher, necklines are lower and prints and materials are more daring than other plus size retailers. I’m thrilled that I get to work with them on a series of 3 posts this week. And first up is the perfect cute and casual look — a red peplum top and skinny jeans with leopard details! Perfect for Valentine’s Day, but also great for all occasions throughout the year!
Sofia Amoruso’s #GIRLBOSS is full of great quotes such as “A #GIRLBOSS is in charge of her own life. She gets what she wants because she works for it.” Over the past year, I’ve taken this attitude to heart and it has informed the way I approach my life, my career, and my wardrobe. Instead of mailing it in when I am in a rush to get ready in the morning, I take time to figure out what image I want to project at the office. I make a conscious effort not to blend in — no one gets ahead by being invisible and keeping their head down. What’s my #GIRLBOSS wardrobe recipe? Strong, classic silhouettes in bold colors like this Citron Calvin Klein Textured Sheath Dress paired with stand-out accessories like these graffiti pumps from Brian Atwood. Just be sure your hemline and neckline are not too revealing and resist the temptation to over-accessorize!
Even #girlbosses can’t control the wind in their hair!! What’s your go-to power outfit?
As a plus size gal, I’ve nearly always stayed away from white pants and white jeans because I could never find ones that were flattering, thick enough to not see my underwear through, and long enough for my 5’9 height. Once I found these skinny jeans from Woman Within on Fullbeauty.com I became a believer…and I even went so far as to embrace winter white! This look is so fresh that it reminds me of spring, even though it is toasty warm and perfect for chilly winter weather. And can we talk about this Chunky Tweed Cardigan from Roaman’s — also one of Fullbeauty.com’s brands??! This dusty rose color is everything!!! This is the perfect Winter Casual Friday look!
Sometimes you stumble upon an item that is practically perfect in every way. Tweed? Check. Red and Black Plaid? Check. Warm and cozy with a hint of sparkle? Check, check, check. The fit is perfect and the style is on point. This gave me major #girlboss vibes the moment I put it on. Add a pencil skirt, some heels and a structured tote, and you are totally going to win your office fashion war! Find it here at Lane Bryant…and guess what? It’s on major sale!!!
Kate Spade tote
If you haven’t noticed, I am a little obsessed with fringe lately, and I HAD TO HAVE these fringe boots when I saw them on Fullbeauty.com. I’ve been wearing them everywhere this winter, and they’ve added a little bit of fun and flair to my day. They are the perfect thing to feature in my first post as a Fullbeauty brand Ambassador!
I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve been selected as brand Ambassador for Fullbeauty.com — which means I’ll be bringing you a series of posts featuring clothes, shoes and accessories from their huge line up of plus size brands. There are so many amazing labels and options to choose from on their site…it really is like a one-stop shop for plus size gals!
