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.

Pastels and pearls are like the uniform for spring events — from Easter to brunch to weddings and everything in between! This Kiyonna Mademoiselle Lace Dress in Azalea Pink is a showstopping addition to your spring wardrobe. So ladylike! So flattering! So bright and lovely! The classic A-line shape is perfect for women with curves in their midsection and booty area. And the scalloped lace v-neck bodice is gorgeous and not too revealing-even if you’re busty.

Forever 21 Plus has really stepped up their plus size fashion game lately. Not only did they debut a plus size activewear line recently, but they are continuing to put out some of the absolute MOST DARLING plus size swimsuits on the market right now. I bought my first “fatkini” at Forever 21 last year, and it’s still one of my absolute favorites (see the post here). This year, I was all set to buy another 2-piece, but as soon as I laid eyes on this ADORABLE Forever 21 Plus Size Lemon/Leaf One-Piece, I had to have it!

It’s still cold here in Chicago (it was only 42 degrees when we did this shoot!!), but I’m already dreaming of how and when and where I’m going to wear this swimsuit this season!
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!
It’s no secret that I have tons and tons of plus size dresses bursting my closet at the seams. That’s one of the reasons I recently revamped my online store (ACCESS IT HERE) so that I could let some of my clothes breathe! I have so many dresses that it’s hard for me to find the ones I truly love. In fact, I recently rediscovered this City Chic black floral fit-and-flare plus size dress in the back of my closet and wore it out with my boyfriend for date night. Then I realized that I had never posted the adorable pictures I took of it from over a year ago! I still had my short bob (totally miss it now!!) and the snow was just starting to melt. I love this dress for it’s feminine 50s shape, flared out skirt (it has netting underneath!) and the elbow length sleeves. It fits like a glove!
And of course, we took these pictures at high noon (a big photoshoot no-no), so this is pretty much how I spent the whole shoot!
Aren’t these florals just so bold and beautiful?! They jump right off the black background! Sadly, it’s already sold out, but the good news for you is that it will be coming to my online store soon!!! If you want to call dibs on it, email me and I’ll put it aside for you!
I love that this dress goes so well with black tights and colorful shoes! It makes it appropriate for all seasons. 🙂
Whew, we took a break and came back outside when it wasn’t so sunny!
