Summer Style: Plus Size Tunic Dress from Yours Clothing

In part 1 of my plus size Summer Style series, I posted this adorable bright magenta twist top and white capri jeggings outfit from Yours Clothing, and today’s post features another great summertime staple from them: this plus size Black & Red Leaf Print Tunic Dress with Tie Waist and this great (very practical!) Burnt Orange and Black PU Reversible Shopper Bag.

Great summer style is all about easy outfits that can work overtime when you where them to street festivals, brunch outings, shopping trips and everything in between! This plus size tunic dress is so light and has great air flow (something that gets very important as the weather heats up! It’s on the shorter side, so if you’re tall like me but don’t want to show so much leg, just throw on some black leggings and some flats and you’ll look adorable.

Things I love about this dress: 1) the strategically placed black colorblocking at the center and sides is very flattering 2) The print is tropical and inviting and makes me want to travel to far-flung locales and 3) It’s light and easy to wear, so you can throw it on when you are running late and you’ll look pulled together and fabulous.
Oh, and did I mention the reversible PU Shopper Bag? I love the burnt orange side! It’s super practical and fits all of your impulse buys when you’re wandering around the shops this summer!

Pretty in Pink: Yours Clothing Plus Size Magenta Twist Top

Pink and white is one of my favorite color combos for summer! It’s so fresh and crisp…and magenta is nearly universally flattering. I’m loving this extreme hi-low twist front magenta top and bright white cropped jeggings and other awesome finds from Yours Clothing, which is a great, affordable plus size clothing retailer out of the UK.

Look how cute this top is! It’s so unique with the twist in the front and the extreme dip in the back. It’s an easy throw-over design and has 3/4 sleeves which is great for chilly air conditioned buildings. And the extreme hi-low proportions just work perfectly with a nice slim cut white denim jegging. Many plus size jeggings are cut too wide and end up looking a little frumpy, but this jeggings hugged my legs just right and had the perfect amount of stretch. I also love the easy pull-on design instead of zipper/button combo. I added some pops of blue and yellow and voila! An adorable plus size outfit to take me throughout the summer!

Lady in Red: Plus Size Red Dress from Simply Be

Apparently, I cannot get enough plus size red dresses this season! Red is just so bright and bold and it truly stands out in a sea of LBDs. This plus size Closet Split Front Red Dress from Simply Be* is not only the perfect shade of bluesy red…but it has a unique shape that makes this dress even stand out more!

What I love about this plus size red dress from Simply Be is the relaxed bodice seaming with wide cuffed sleeves and gathers at the waist. An attached belt can be tied in back for a cleaner look or in front. The hemline dips down slightly in the front and has a split in the middle. Overall, it gives a relaxed glamour to the dress that you don’t see very often!

Plus Size Kentucky Derby Style: Off the Shoulder Dress with Wide Brim Hat

Not only is it officially spring…but with it comes one of my favorite non-event events: the Kentucky Derby! Why do I love it? Well, truly only one reason: the hats! I love that for one day out of the year, people are forced to wear hats! I wish there were more hat-situations in my life! But until I move to England, I will have to be satisfied with my Kentucky Derby Hat Day! Now, a bit about my outfit…I’ve been a Fullbeauty brand ambassador for several months now, and I love that they keep adding new plus size brands to their line up! Another fabulous (and one of my favorite) brands is Fashion to Figure and they have recently joined the Fullbeauty ranks. When I saw this Plus Size Off the Shoulder Ruffled Peplum Dress from Fashion to Figure on Fullbeauty.com, I knew my Derby Dreams were about to come true!

This dress is so chic, so ladylike…and makes me think of Pretty Woman for some reason. Is it the slightly 80s flavor of dress? Who cares! I love the off-the-shoulder design. The white bodice with the black trim over the black skirt is a classic combo. And who doesn’t love a peplum?! It’s perfect for this black and white wide-brimmed straw hat from Roaman’s that I got from Fullbeauty.com as well!

The Best Plus Size Cocktail Dress For Curvy Ladies

OK ok, I know it’s a lot to promise that this is the best cocktail dress for plus size ladies, but I love it so much, I have it in 2 colors (this one is for sale in my online store stylepluscurves.bigcartel.com –>> Shop it here). So that goes to show you how much faith I have in it and how amazing it makes me feel! Tadashi Shoji is an American-based Japanese designer who specializes in evening wear, and — as you might remember — was one of the only designers “willing” to dress plus size celebrities Octavia Spencer and Melissa McCarthy before it became a little trendier to do so! I discovered this Tadashi Shoji Plus Size Lace Sheath Dress at Nordstrom, where I completely fell in love with this short lace plus size cocktail dress. I put it on, and I swear there were rainbows and fireworks and birds singing. It comes in 7 colors, and I have it in the deep amethyst purple and this amazing muted teal color, called starry night.

(This dress is available in my SHOP MY CLOSET store at stylepluscurves.bigcartel.com)

With scalloped lace edges at the neckline and hemline, a deep V in both the front and the back, the design of this dress is extremely feminine and flattering. And the grossgrain ribbon detail at the waist nips in so that you have a gorgeous hourglass silhouette. It’s elegant, sexy and appropriate…how often do you get to say that about one cocktail dress?
