Happy Easter! Welcoming Spring in Florals and Vintage Hats!

Happy Easter from Style Plus Curves! I’m celebrating spring with florals, florals, florals! Also…hats! I try to take any and all chances to wear a hat and gloves! The fashion scene is sadly lacking hats and Easter is one of the few times where people in the U.S. will wear them! So, here’s my perfect Easter Sunday outfit: this ASOS CURVE Wiggle Dress in Garden Floral Print and this vintage bonnet and vintage gloves. So fresh, so ladylike, so spring!

Black Cropped Plus Size Jumpsuit from Avenue

This is the wardrobe essential you never knew you needed! This cropped plus size jumpsuit from Avenue is TOO CUTE! It hits on two trends going into spring — cropped pants and sleek modern silhouettes. Most people either love or hate jumpsuits, so if you love them, you’ll be in heaven with this Cutout Gaucho Jumpsuit from Avenue. The cropped legs are a modern twist, the black rayon fabric is easy to wear and breezy, and the cutouts at the neck add some dimension and detail. If you’re a jumpsuit hater, let me encourage you to try this one! The elasticized waist with the tie belt give you a lot of options for where you want the waist to hit so that it’s most flattering on your body.

The only problem with jumpsuits? You have to unzip them fully to go to the bathroom…so don’t wait too long to go, or you’ll be panicking!!! So, those are my two words of wisdom: buy a plus size jumpsuit for spring and don’t wait too long to go to the bathroom when you wear it. LOL

Rachel Roy Curvy Plus Size Collection

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!

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!

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!

This Striped Shirt Dress is EVERYTHING for Spring!

I put this Ellos Striped Shirtdress on for a quick photo shoot, and no less than 3 people stopped and told me how much they loved it! And this was only about a 5 minute shoot. I loved it when I bought it, but after that reaction, this dress is going into my staple rotation this spring and summer! And why wouldn’t it? It’s adorable! This Ellos Striped Shirtdress from Fullbeauty.com is so classic and feminine and the full skirt is lovely and twirl-tastic!

Just a quick note on sizing, so you don’t make the same mistake I did — Ellos sizing is different, so DO NOT order the size you’re used to! I’m usually a 2X, so that’s what I ordered, but I was WAY off! So… if you’re a 14/16, go with a M, 18/20 is L, 22/24 is 1X, 26/28W is 2X and so on up to a 5X.
