Plus Size Fall Fashion From Kohl’s: Jennifer Lopez Denim and Apt 9 Tops

If you couldn’t tell from my last post, I’m still celebrating plus size denim this fall, and this time I’m featuring items from Kohl’s plus size section. Check out these Black Jennifer Lopez Plus Size Bootcut Jeans…They are super comfortable and are actually long enough for my 5’9 frame. I like the length and that they don’t sag or gap in the waistband…and black is oh-so-chic for the fall and winter season.

And just FYI: There’s a plus size sale going on at Kohls.com from Oct. 15 through the 25th. And Style Plus Curves’ Readers get an ADDITIONAL 15% OFF Kohl’s PLUS SIZE APPAREL by using the Promo Code: MYSTYLE. Valid online only. Ends October 25.

These black jeans will literally go with anything, but I wanted more of a Casual Friday OOTD look, so I paired them with this great top combo: Apt 9 Crossover Tunic in Structure Black Print (which looks a little like leopard print to me!) and Apt 9 Essentials Sleeveless Camisole in emerald green.

And because I still need a little bling, even on casual Fridays, I added a chunky mixed metal link necklace, also from Apt. 9.

#RidersStyleChallenge: 3 Ways To Wear Plus Size Denim Jeans feat. Riders by Lee

Denim is the Queen Bee of the Fall Season, and I’m celebrating by partnering with Riders by Lee on a 3-Way Style Challenge! I’m always thrilled when a new plus size denim line debuts, and Riders by Lee just came out with a great line called the “Beautiful Comfort Collection” available in 16W-26W. They come in a variety of washes, styles and colors and will retail around $25 each. That is an absolute deal! Riders by Lee asked me to style these “Heavenly Touch” Samantha Skinny Jeans in three different ways to show how versatile and fabulous they are. To make things more interesting, they are running a #RidersStyleChallenge, where the winner gets to go on set at the next ad campaign and style the shoot. And YOU will get a chance to win a free pair of Riders by Lee Jeans! Be sure to VOTE FOR ME HERE > http://bit.ly/1ZvgMWs

Look #1: Wear It To Work for Casual Friday

My first look is all about Casual Friday — I love to wear jeans and look casual at work–at least one day a week, but still need to maintain some formalities and an air of professionalism. So, in this look, I tried to strike that balance.

For a Casual Friday look, I paired these Riders by Lee Heavenly Touch Samantha Skinny jeans with a pale pink top and a tweed capelet with floral details and a tie waist. I added some nude peep toe pumps and felt strong, stylish and comfortable all day!

Look #2: Go Wild for Weekend Brunch

When I go to brunch on the weekends, I like to get a little funky! This is the time to push a few boundaries and have fun with a casual, laid-back look and loads of accessories.

For this weekend brunch outfit, I thought I’d play around with the bohemian (or is it more safari?) trend and wear this Alfani Plus Size Merino Wool Cape-Collar Sweater Vest from Macy’s, funky jewelry, and my Tory Burch Sally 2 Peep Toe Wedges from Nordstrom.

Look #3: A Little Luxe for Girl’s Night Out

Who doesn’t love a Girl’s Night Out? When I’m going out for dinner and drinks with my girlfriends, there’s no need for sexy dramatic looks. So, I try to go a little luxe, and not too revealing. Basically, Cool and Stylish is the name of the game.

When I saw this INC International Concepts Boucle Knit Chiffon-Skirted top in this pretty metallic pink, I thought it struck the perfect GNO note — just dressy enough without being too fussy. Throw on some rose gold Charles David pumps from DSW and my trusty gray Sejour Leather Jacket from Nordstrom — add a simple envelope clutch, and that’s it–I’m ready for some wine and good conversation with the girls!

How are you styling your denim this fall? If you’re plus size and looking for an affordable, comfortable denim line, I encourage you to check out the new line from Riders by Lee. I’m sure you’ll find something that works with your personal style!

Going Pink with Kiyonna for Breast Cancer Awareness

It’s Breast Cancer Awareness month, and everyone should be wearing pink! This crocheted top in blushing pink from Kiyonna is the perfect way to show your support of the cause…and better yet, Kiyonna is donating 50% of the sales from the Bohemian Crochet Bellini in Blushing Pink to a super worthy organization called Breast Cancer Angels. The org rallies around women who are touched by this disease and offers emotional, physical and financial support and services to women who are undergoing treatment. What better way to “Look Good While Doing Good??”

What are you doing to raise awareness of breast cancer this month? I hope you all are starting with your own boobies and giving yourself regular breast exams. If you want more details about breast exams, go here. And next time you’re in the shower or laying down in bed, take the time to check for any changes in your breasts or developing lumps. It could save your life!

Plus Size Wrap Dress in Peacock Blue from Kiyonna

Kiyonna has another amazing plus size wrap dress for us to lust after! This Captivating Crochet Wrap Dress in Playful Peacock is such a divine, rich blue color, and look at the sleeves! I love the crochet peacock printed sleeves. The shape is the same flattering, feminine silhouette that I always associate with Kiyonna wrap dresses, and I love how they keep coming up with new details to keep the designs fresh!
