No more boring casual outfits! In my last post, I mentioned that Gwynnie Bee, the plus size clothing subscription service, challenged me to make a Style Resolution this year, and mine was to seriously pump up my casual, off-duty looks, which had been taking second place to my workwear outfits. So, instead of throwing on whatever tshirt was on the floor of my bedroom, I decided to be much more intentional and focused on my casual style this year. My second Gwynnie Bee style post features this Drape Front Mixed Media Duster from Jones New York, and it’s a little out of this world!

Jones New York Drape Front Mix Media Duster c/o Gwynnie Bee, the plus size clothing subscription service

This plus size longline cardigan is an absolute life saver! Not only does it add another layer of warmth for these freezing months in Chicago, it also adds another layer of style to this casual outfit. I started with a basic base of black jeggings from Torrid, added a gray tshirt with a heart graphic in black sequins (getting a little more interesting!) and then pulled it all together with this plus size Jones New York Drape Front Mix Media Duster from my Gwynnie Bee closet. The marled gray sweater knit texture of this cardigan is cozy, while the black sleeves add even more visual interest. Oh and did you notice I tried the half-tuck tshirt? My bf was like: “Your shirt is all messed up, it looks weird.” And I was like, “No it’s supposed to be like that!” LOL Altogether, I feel cute, casual and a little rock n roll!

And OMG, isn’t this alien mural the COOLEST? My bf stumbled across it in our neighborhood the other day, and we immediately went over to snap these pictures. Logan Square, Chicago is known for its amazing, crazy murals, but it was awesome to find this one tucked away on an apartment building off the main streets. So cool!
