Have you ever picked up a dress that is so not your style and fallen in love with it? That happened to me when I tried on this Forever 21 Plus Size Black Lace Up Midi Dress last month. I’m usually obsessed with all things colorful and go for bold silhouettes. But WOW, this plus size knit midi dress (or is it a maxi?) made all of my secret GOTH girl dreams come true.
SAILOR PANTS, Y’ALL! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I swooped through my local Lane Bryant. I saw, big, beautiful, bright white, wide-leg, high waisted sailor pants–complete with gold buttons down the front. I fell in love instantly…and had to take them home and give them a whirl right away!
Definitely size up — I’m an 18/20 at Lane Bryant, and went with the 20 so that the buttons laid right across my tummy. Find a way to show off the buttons — either tuck in your shirt or wear a crop top. I went with black, but navy and any type of stripe will look fantastic! On my 5’9 frame, the pants were just a smidge too short, but I imagine that shorter gals will love where the hem falls with heels. So, there we are…my dream of plus size sailor pants has finally come true!!!
