Rachel Roy just debuted a Curvy Plus Size Collection! Rachel Roy is a high end clothing designer known for her classic, feminine silhouettes and bold use of color and patterns. She launched her label in 2004 and later expanded into ready to wear…and now, FINALLY!, she has debuted the RACHEL Rachel Roy Curvy Collection, available at Macy’s and on her website. And guess who could NOT resist trying it out?? Especially when I ran across this Rachel Rachel Roy Curvy Plus Size Sleeveless Sheath Dress with oversized pockets on my last Macy’s shopping trip!

According to this Refinery 29 interview with the designer, she describes her target woman like this: “The Rachel Rachel Roy woman is curious and adventurous; she has a career, so she has the need to look professional, pulled-together, and polished. She’s the younger sister to Rachel Roy, so the price point is lower and more affordable. But who the customer is really the same throughout, despite the category.”
That’s seriously exactly how I feel about this dress. It’s such a simple shape, but I feel so polished! I can totally wear this to the office this spring/summer but can also wear it on a number of other occasions. It’s a sturdy knit and has a super flattering A-line shape. The v neck and pleat down the center make the dress feel like an origami masterpiece…and when you add the oversized pockets…you have a polished, chic sheath dress…for plus size ladies!
It’s no secret that I have tons and tons of plus size dresses bursting my closet at the seams. That’s one of the reasons I recently revamped my online store (ACCESS IT HERE) so that I could let some of my clothes breathe! I have so many dresses that it’s hard for me to find the ones I truly love. In fact, I recently rediscovered this City Chic black floral fit-and-flare plus size dress in the back of my closet and wore it out with my boyfriend for date night. Then I realized that I had never posted the adorable pictures I took of it from over a year ago! I still had my short bob (totally miss it now!!) and the snow was just starting to melt. I love this dress for it’s feminine 50s shape, flared out skirt (it has netting underneath!) and the elbow length sleeves. It fits like a glove!
And of course, we took these pictures at high noon (a big photoshoot no-no), so this is pretty much how I spent the whole shoot!
Aren’t these florals just so bold and beautiful?! They jump right off the black background! Sadly, it’s already sold out, but the good news for you is that it will be coming to my online store soon!!! If you want to call dibs on it, email me and I’ll put it aside for you!
I love that this dress goes so well with black tights and colorful shoes! It makes it appropriate for all seasons. 🙂
Whew, we took a break and came back outside when it wasn’t so sunny!
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!!!

I don’t like sticking to one style. I am a plus size fashion lover and I have love affairs with all of the different eras and styles. Sometimes, I’m in the mood for a 50s pinup look, sometimes I want to go for a strong #girlboss style, and other times, I want to go graphic and bold and a little 60s mod. Today is one of those days! This High Neck Crepe Dress from Simply Be is a little odd and very mod. I love the wide windowpane black and white print. And the high neck speaks to this style’s 60s roots. A funky extra is this stepped hem — it’s shorter in the front panel and is longer at the sides and back. It creates visual interest and drama — and ensures that your look is far from boring!

I think this bright blue Kristin Blake coat provides a fabulous contrast to the graphic print of the dress, don’t you? Add your own colorful topper and some booties, and see where your day takes you!
