It’s official, y’all!!! Chicago will have its very own fashion week dedicated exclusively to plus-size designers! Plus Fashion Week Chicago (or PFW for short) will take place October 17-21. We officially kicked things off last week at an Accessories Soiree held at Charming Charlie, which I’m so thrilled to discover is on Michigan Ave!

I wore my fantastic Sasha dress from Shavonne Dorsey designs, and dressed it up with tons of fun, sparkly, colorful accessories!

We had a great crowd show up and all left with some fabulous jewelry to liven up their wardrobes.

Two fabulous Chicago fashionistas: Tamika from Dangerous Curves Ahead and Lindsey from Lindsey M Adams.

We had a short fashion show during the event too! 3 gorgeous models from ThYck Troupe Chicago wore some beautiful designs from Crescendo Apparel, and accessorized with pieces from our host, Charming Charlie.

 The models did a quick change and came out in another look with accessories from Charming Charlie.

I couldn’t stop changing my accessories!! So many fun options!!

Perry from Alluring Chicago and I had too much fun running around the store…and we definitely spent too much money!! 🙂

I’m excited to be a part of the leadership team that will be getting the first Plus Fashion Week Chicago off the ground! Follow @plusfashwkchi on Twitter and Like the PFWChicago Facebook page. More info will roll out in the next few months, so stay tuned!
