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!

Can we take a moment to appreciate these incredible Steve Madden sandals for a second?! Suede Fringe heels with ankle ties. SWOON!
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.

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!
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!
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:

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!
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!
