Summer Style: Plus Size White Eyelet Midi Dress from Jessica London

It almost Memorial Day…and that means — get out your gorgeous white dresses! Although I’m a big believer in breaking fashion “rules” and don’t really abide by the “no-white-after-Labor-Day,” I can’t deny that Memorial Day feels like summer and summer means white! This white plus size dress from Jessica London on Fullbeauty.com is the perfect dress to wear to welcome summer!  The white eyelet is so crisp and the sleeveless shape with a collar and a tie belt feels preppy and not too sweet.

The key to a great plus size white dress is quality fabric. It can’t be too see through and it needs some structure. That’s what I love about this Jessica London dress. The eyelet fabric has some structure and is weighty enough so that when placed over the white cotton lining, you can’t see through it. I bought this dress as a “maybe” — because I thought the midi length might look a little frumpy and shapeless. But I’m SO glad I got it…the length hits me just below the knee and flares out a bit. The sleeveless shirtdress silhouette looks immaculate when rendered in white eyelet. The tie belt pulls it in and gives me a relaxed shape. Overall, it’s a great dress and I’ll definitely be wearing it throughout the summer!

The Office is My Other Runway: Feeling Fierce in this Season’s Looks from Ashley Stewart

It’s #NYFW…and even though you and I are stuck in our everyday work days…there’s no excuse not to #WERK your wardrobe! Ashley Stewart is having a crazy hot season right now…fabulous styles for curvy, trend-conscious plussize gals, and they were so nice to help dress me for Fashion Week here at home.

Just look at this Ashley Stewart Animal Print Mock Neck Sheath! HOTTTTTT. So hott, that I felt I was walking the runway when I was just running to get coffee.

And look how fierce it looks with a blazer!

Ashley Stewart also ran this two-toned animal print in a fab pencil skirt!

Fashion is all about going over the top…And because I can’t get enough pops of color and luscious floral prints, I HAD to try Ashley Stewart’s Sleeveless Crossneck Floral Peplum top with the coordinating pencil skirt. The top’s cross over neckline was a little too luscious for the office–especially for us chesty gals…but I flipped it around and discovered that it worked just as well backwards!

How did you #werk your wardrobe for Fashion Week this year??

Summer Lovin’ this Kiyonna Passport Peplum Top

Did you know that besides fabulous plussize dresses, Kiyonna also has some great separates?! Their skirts are must-haves, and their tops are full of unique touches and vintage flair that add an essential spark to your wardrobe. This Passport Peplum Top in a bold multi-stripe pattern is a perfect example! The colorful pattern is whimsical, while the peplum shape and the princess seaming does wonders for plussize figures. The slightly belled sleeves end at the elbow, and the bow and keyhole neckline are fun and flirty touches. There’s plenty of summer left to flaunt this top with skinny jeans or a cute pencil skirt. Add colorful accessories and a big smile, and you’ll end the season on a high note!

Classic Look with a Neon Twist: Sporty OOTD in Calvin Klein and Eloquii

What’s more classic than a black pencil skirt and a white top? But add some neon pumps, some quirky jewelry and leather accents, and you have a modern, fun twist on a classic outfit. Perfect for injecting some creativity in the daily grind of my office wardrobe.

Plussize Calvin Klein White Top and Eloquii Leather Skirt

This great plussize Calvin Klein top from Macy’s has mesh inserts at the shoulder and some wrap ruching details that walk the line between sporty and classic. And I absolutely love this leather panel pencil skirt I scored at Eloquii before they transitioned to an online store. The funky beaded necklace I picked up at Forever21 for almost nothing…and the neon peep toe heels were a great find from DSW last season. Who says fashion has to always be new???

When you want to add a bit of fun to an outfit–with a statement necklace and statement heels, keep the rest of your outfit simple and classic. That’s the way to really make it pop!
