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!

Off Duty Style: Forever 21 Plus Size Crop Top and Ripped Jeans

My usual style alternates between #GIRLBOSS and Glam, but sometimes I like to change it up in my off-duty stlye and go casual. Contrary to popular belief, I do wear jeans! As part of my recent collaboration with Forever 21, I chose 3 looks to play with…and today’s look is all about being cool and casual in a cropped top and ripped jeans!

This blush pink crochet crop top is so delicate! But be warned! It is totally see-through, which is a little daunting at first, but once you commit to it, you can totally rock the crop! If you can’t commit, just throw a tank top underneath and call it a day! Ripped jeans are everywhere right now, so I’ve been searching for a good plus size option…and here it is! These distressed jeans fit like a glove and have strategic rips placed up and down the front of legs. And can we talk about these shoes for a minute? I honestly did not expect to love them as much as I did…but they are the perfect shade of pink and look great with a casual outfit as well as a nice dress.

Neon Florals in Sunset Hues in this City Chic Dress

LOOK! These colors are amazing! Bright oranges and blues and teals! This City Chic plus size maxi dress is everything a floral-dress-lover could want. I’ve had a not-so-secret obsession with City Chic, and I love that they are becoming easier and easier to find! They have been in Nordstrom for a few years, and online since the beginning. But now they’re in Macy’s and on Gwynnie Bee as well as part of the Fullbeauty suite of brands! I spotted this dress on Fullbeauty.com, but sadly they are already sold out (but check out the other fabulous City Chic pieces they care here)! It’s clear that City Chic is taking over the world…and why not? With killer dresses like this at fabulous price points, I can’t help but be a huge fan.

It’s the bright colors that are the most stunning part of the dress, but the design is also great. The bodice has seaming under the bust and smocking around the waist to provide a more defined shape. The rest of the fabric is light and flowy, skimming your curves. And the high-low hemline actually works with this silhouette, giving it a freedom and lightness of movement.

Cool Girl Style: Forever 21 Plus Faux Leather Shift Dress

Sometimes I stumble upon an outfit that is a lot cooler than me. That happened when I collaborated with Forever 21 Plus on a series of spring fashion posts*. I saw this Forever 21 Plus Size Faux Leather Shift Dress and my cool girl meter went to 11! I love the rock star vibe of the faux leather and the short skirt. The deep cuts on the sides are meant to show off a cute patterned top — like this striped tank — or even a crop top!

Add some rocker-vibe accessories like a slim choker and black bracelets — and don’t forget the booties!

I love how soft the faux leather feels, and the short length is perfect for those who want to show some leg!

Polka Dot Party in this ASOS Plus Size Dress

It’s a Polka Dot Party up in here! I love the cheerful and humble polka dot…it’s impossible to not feel happy when wearing them! This black and white plus size ruffled overlay dress from ASOS Curve is just what every polka dot lover needs. This ASOS Praslin Plus Dress with Polka Dot Overlay is black with with dots on the bottom; white with black dots on the top. It’s close cut on the bottom, but definitely has a lot of stretch…so if you want a closer fit, order a size down!

What goes perfectly with black and white polka dots? Well, more polka dots, of course! And some funky pops of red add even more spice to an over the top outfit. Sometimes a gal just needs a “more is more” look. lol
