Lady in Red: Plus Size Red Dress from Simply Be

Apparently, I cannot get enough plus size red dresses this season! Red is just so bright and bold and it truly stands out in a sea of LBDs. This plus size Closet Split Front Red Dress from Simply Be* is not only the perfect shade of bluesy red…but it has a unique shape that makes this dress even stand out more!

What I love about this plus size red dress from Simply Be is the relaxed bodice seaming with wide cuffed sleeves and gathers at the waist. An attached belt can be tied in back for a cleaner look or in front. The hemline dips down slightly in the front and has a split in the middle. Overall, it gives a relaxed glamour to the dress that you don’t see very often!

Rompers (or playsuits in the UK) are just the shorter, more playful version of jumpsuits…and I have no idea why I’ve avoided them this long! I’m absolutely loving this khaki color Simply Be Wrap Playsuit! It’s cute and (gasp!) comfortable too.

 Plus Size Romper/Playsuit c/o Simply Be

This plus size romper from Simply Be comes in this gray-green khaki color (in real life, it’s a little more green and less gray). The Tencel fabric is so light and smooth — it feels amazing against your skin. The wrap front has a modesty tack which ensures that the front wrap doesn’t spill open unexpectedly. And the easy belt and large pockets give this cute playsuit more of a utility edge. I chose to glam it up a bit — going with gold accessories and an animal print clutch…but this can easily be reworked for a casual night out or for an upcoming music festival!

A quick note on sizing — I am usually an 18/20, but have a full belly…so I ordered a US20, which is a UK 24 in order to ensure that I had plenty of room in the belly area. So, if you’re a full apple shape like me, you might want to size up!

Feeling Mod? Try A Graphic Shift Dress From Simply Be

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!

The stepped hem really makes the dress quite short in the front if you’re tall like me. So consider wearing some black tights underneath to extend the lines and provide some coverage! 

 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!

 

Tomato Orange: The Freshest Color of the Season

I’m obsessed with ORANGE this season! Admittedly, this obsession started immediately after I tried on this Simply Be Pleated Dress with Lace Detail. This plus size dress comes in this bright tomato color and it is EVERYTHING. Case in point:

The color just POPS and is so saturated and vibrant. The pleated skirt hits right at the knee and has great movement. And the lace details at the bodice, shoulders and sleeve are fabulous extras that take this dress to an 11. It’s appropriate for just about any event/activity…brunches, Easter, weddings, showers, church, or just a night out with your significant other or BFFs. It’s pretty much perfect!

If you haven’t heard of Simply Be yet, prepare to be amazed! This European brand has got a fabulous selection of plus size dresses, skirts and everything in between! Check them out for sure when you’re buying your spring/summer wardrobe!

I wore this amazing dress to an event today at Macy’s hosted by Shai from Drunk on Shoes. It was great to see a lot of local Chicago style bloggers out and about, and Shai is so friendly and fun. Check out my Instagram for pictures from the event!

Dark Floral Obsession feat AX Paris Plus Size Midi Dress from Simply Be

I don’t know what it is about bright floral prints on dark, moody backgrounds, but I’m completely obsessed! My newest acquisition is this moody and romantic AX Paris Double Layer Midi Dress from Simply Be. It’s dark, it’s romantic…it’s classy…and it fits like a glove. The scuba knit is a little thicker and lays very nicely over all my bumps and bulges. The midi length is perfect, hitting just below the knee on my 5’9 frame, and I’m always a fan of elbow-length sleeves. The high neckline provides coverage, while the tighter fit reveals your shape. I ordered a size up since I knew this was a body-con style, and I’m so glad I did!

My sister took these pictures after a long road trip–so I have no makeup on and look tired, but still feel fabulous in this dress!
