Summer is sizzlin’ hot already, and the style forecasts all point to bold brights as the look of the look of the season! Bright, saturated colors took over the SS17 runways and have made their way into every store. Me? I’m obsessed with anything orange, yellow or red! The super bright trends showed up in collections at Balenciaga, Max Mara and 3.1 Philip Lim, just to name a few. And guess where else these bright colors are showing up? At your local JCPenney! I recently partnered with JCPenney to showcase my plus size summer style – and yes, you guessed it – both of my looks feature bright, bold colors!

Plus Size Summer Style: Worthington Sleeveless Maxi Dress in Fiery Red from JCPenney

How perfect is this Worthington maxi dress in this gorgeous fiery red color?! It makes think of hot summer nights dancing in the streets of old Havana — or something equally dramatic and adventurous!

The pleats on this Worthington Sleeveless Maxi Dress are absolute perfection – they help give the maxi dress some shape and movement. The black trim at the neckline provides a nice contrast to the red and helps the color pop even more. Also, did you notice the grommet detail at the straps?

I’m 5’9 and the length of this maxi was perfect for me – hitting right at the tops of my ankles. These are the extra details that I look for in a high-quality garment, and I love that JCPenney has such high-quality collections like Worthington that offer on-trend and well-constructed pieces for plus size women.

To complete a fabulous, easy, on-trend outfit – just add your favorite designer accessories and head out the door!

Plus Size Summer Style: Worthington Pull On Slim Crops in Adventure Pink with Cold Shoulder Button Front Shirt

For my second look showcasing my plus size summer style with items from JCPenney, I’m going bright PINK! These Worthington Pull-On Crops come in a color called Adventure Pink. I mean…how perfect is that? The hue is so saturated and upbeat — you can’t help but be happy when you wear pink pants! And – as an added bonus, the bold bright color is perfectly on trend.

I paired these hot pink pants with a crisp white button up shirt that happens to highlight another summer style trend: cold shoulders. I love the extra detail at the shoulders and that the sleeves are longer and end in a sort of waterfall ruffle. I felt super stylish and put together in this crisp summer outfit!

To top it all off, I added some shades, some colorful heels and a basket purse! Simple and stylish!
