I’m obsessed with ORANGE this season! Admittedly, this obsession started immediately after I tried on this Simply Be Pleated Dress with Lace Detail. This plus size dress comes in this bright tomato color and it is EVERYTHING. Case in point:

If you haven’t heard of Simply Be yet, prepare to be amazed! This European brand has got a fabulous selection of plus size dresses, skirts and everything in between! Check them out for sure when you’re buying your spring/summer wardrobe!
I wore this amazing dress to an event today at Macy’s hosted by Shai from Drunk on Shoes. It was great to see a lot of local Chicago style bloggers out and about, and Shai is so friendly and fun. Check out my Instagram for pictures from the event!
I’m a southern girl from Alabama, and I grew up with overflowing hydrangea bushes in my front yard. So I had to have this amazing Plus Size Hydrangea Print Dress from City Chic the moment I saw it! The print is so bold and saturated, and the shape is flirty and feminine–complete with a tulle underskirt that helps the skirt flare out in a fabulous full way.
Plus size fashion has come a long way in the past few years! I distinctly remember the moment – 2 years ago – that I found this plus size One Shouldered Drape Maxi Dress from City Chic at my local Nordstrom. Nordstrom had just started carrying the Australian brand, and I was so thrilled to find young, modern and more affordable plus size dresses within my reach. It was a big deal and in my mind, truly revealed the coming changes in the plus size retail industry.

I wore this strikingly modern black drape dress to Chicago Latino Fashion Week in 2013 and experienced one of the highs of my life in fashion. Everyone — and I mean everyone — thought that I was a designer or one of the models in the show. Paired with bold accessories like these Gold Boots from Rag & Bone and this Lightening Bolt Pink and Gold clutch and these bright aqua blue earrings, and I felt like a goddess.
Sadly, this dress is no longer in stock, but you can check out City Chic’s Other Fab Maxi Dresses here or visit Nordstrom’s website here.
It was a great night, and this dress made it even more special. The draping, the modern loose fit and the unexpected details make this a dress that I’ll be keeping for years to come!
I put this Ellos Striped Shirtdress on for a quick photo shoot, and no less than 3 people stopped and told me how much they loved it! And this was only about a 5 minute shoot. I loved it when I bought it, but after that reaction, this dress is going into my staple rotation this spring and summer! And why wouldn’t it? It’s adorable! This Ellos Striped Shirtdress from Fullbeauty.com is so classic and feminine and the full skirt is lovely and twirl-tastic!
This yellow skirt was so bright and cheery, I had to have it when I saw it at Lane Bryant earlier last month! I always love pops of yellow in the spring, but for once, I wasn’t feeling pastels or florals. Instead, I wanted to put together an outfit that was graphic and modern and bold, so I opted to pair the Modernist Circle Skirt with a window pane print halter top with a tie at the neckline and these awesome Coach peep-toe booties. Fresh, modern and bright…just what the change in season calls for!
