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!

Great summer style is all about easy outfits that can work overtime when you where them to street festivals, brunch outings, shopping trips and everything in between! This plus size tunic dress is so light and has great air flow (something that gets very important as the weather heats up! It’s on the shorter side, so if you’re tall like me but don’t want to show so much leg, just throw on some black leggings and some flats and you’ll look adorable.

Things I love about this dress: 1) the strategically placed black colorblocking at the center and sides is very flattering 2) The print is tropical and inviting and makes me want to travel to far-flung locales and 3) It’s light and easy to wear, so you can throw it on when you are running late and you’ll look pulled together and fabulous.

Oh, and did I mention the reversible PU Shopper Bag? I love the burnt orange side! It’s super practical and fits all of your impulse buys when you’re wandering around the shops this summer!

Pretty in Pink: Yours Clothing Plus Size Magenta Twist Top

Pink and white is one of my favorite color combos for summer! It’s so fresh and crisp…and magenta is nearly universally flattering. I’m loving this extreme hi-low twist front magenta top and bright white cropped jeggings and other awesome finds from Yours Clothing, which is a great, affordable plus size clothing retailer out of the UK.

Look how cute this top is! It’s so unique with the twist in the front and the extreme dip in the back. It’s an easy throw-over design and has 3/4 sleeves which is great for chilly air conditioned buildings. And the extreme hi-low proportions just work perfectly with a nice slim cut white denim jegging. Many plus size jeggings are cut too wide and end up looking a little frumpy, but this jeggings hugged my legs just right and had the perfect amount of stretch. I also love the easy pull-on design instead of zipper/button combo. I added some pops of blue and yellow and voila! An adorable plus size outfit to take me throughout the summer!

Simply Adorable in this Simply Be Plus Size Romper

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.

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!

Get Ready to Sail Away in this City Chic Sundress

It’s nearly sundress weather and I’m already packing them in to my closet! This City Chic Riviera Handkerchief Hem Sundress has me longing for a day out on a sailboat or at a summer barbecue. I know, I know…I’m not a huge fan of the handkerchief hem trend that we’ve been having in plus sizes for about 3 years now, but it works on this dress because it’s breezy and light and catches the wind just right.

The French blue and white abstract pattern of this sundress is fresh and can be dressed up or down with just a switch in your shoes. Simple neckline and adjustable straps…simple, easy, and stylish. I found mine at my local Nordstrom, but City Chic is in several stores and online marketplaces, so I’m sure you’ll be able to find it or another fabulous sundress to add to your spring/summer wardrobe!
