Feeling Blue in Rachel Roy Plus Size Collection

A couple weeks ago, I shared with you a gorgeous ivory origami pleated plus size dress that was part of the new Rachel Rachel Roy Curvy Collection at Macy’s (see the post here!). I adored that dress for it’s simple lines and sophisticated design. Here’s another look from the Rachel Roy Plus Size Collection. This Petra Plus Size Hi Lo Dress is sleek and sporty!

I’m usually not a very sporty gal in my everyday style, but this dress was calling my name. The bright blue color just pops when you’re walking down the street, and it is actually an overlay over a dark gray knit skirt. The split sides give the dress great movement and reveal the underskirt when the wind blows just right! It’s a simple design, with a bit of ribbing in contrasting black at the neckline. It’s definitely easy to wear and a step out of the box for plus size silhouettes!

Classiques Entier Plus Size Silk Floral Dress

Here’s another amazing plus size dress from Classiques Entier, Nordstrom’s in house luxury brand. From the silk georgette floral material in this deep green with pops of yellow, to the A-line shape with a nice pleated v-neck and short cap sleeves…this dress is super flattering from head to hem. It lays so perfectly over your curves and I completely felt like a million bucks when I slipped it over my head!

This dress is such a stunner that all you need is a pop of citron yellow like these D’orsay pumps, and simple accessories like this camel-colored Kate Spade bag.

3D Flowers On This Plus Size Dress from ASOS Curve

Prints of flowers are not enough for me any more. I’ve crossed the line. I’ve gone 3D! This plus size dress from ASOS Curve has delicate, colorful beaded flowers all over the light and airy fabric…It’s decadent and a little flashy…but oh so sweet and innocent! The skater dress shape of this dress makes it ideal for twirling, but beware…it is SHORT! I like my dresses and skirts short, but it was even making me nervous! But OHHHH….the beading!

 Plus Size ASOS Curve Skater Dress with 3D Flower Embellishment

The material of this plus size skater dress is so light and airy…and it comes in a delicate blue-gray color, which is so delicate. The beadwork is fancy and intricate and just pops right off the fabric, and really just makes you happy to look at! 
I am so lucky that my friend Sarah from Levine-Moore Photography agreed to take my pictures in this dress! She’s amazing, and caught the lighting and details of the 3D flowers perfectly.

Plus Size Fashion: We Wear Short Skirts!

Plus size women have so many more choices now! It’s a whole new world that has opened up in the last two years, and I couldn’t be happier. Clothes that would have never been manufactured in plus sizes — like mini skirts and crop tops! — are now showing up in major retailers everywhere. Shopping is so fun now — since I know that I have cute, stylish and fashion forward clothes to choose from! So to celebrate…I’m showing a little leg in today’s post!

This is just a simple skater skirt from Forever 21 Plus, but it’s short and bright and perfect! The pleats at the front and back provide a little bit of shape. And this textured crop top (which isn’t too cropped!) is so fresh  and refined. Tomato and white are two of the hottest colors for SS16, and together, they are a winning combo! And because I’m a fan of hi/lo dressing, I’ve paired this Forever 21 Plus outfit with higher end accessories. These pumps from Alexander Wang are so colorful and amazing! They are a different shape than most pumps and the woven textile fabric is so unique. And, you’ve seen these Saint Laurent Retro Surf sunglasses in quite of my posts lately. I just can’t get enough!
