January is kind of a weird month for retail – everything is kind of slow and retailers aren’t dropping too many new items since they are gearing up for the spring season. But if you’re a shopping addict like me and you are still relentlessly checking all the plus size shopping sites, you know that you can find some absolute gems in the shoulder seasons! In fact, my shopping cart is full right now at Lane Bryant and I thought I’d share my picks with you!
As you know, I’ve partnered with Gwynnie Bee on a plus size style series highlighting my wardrobe resolutions for the new year. This is my third post in highlighting my resolution to seriously upgrade my casual game (catch the first post featuring a City Chic Top here and the second post featuring a Jones New York Duster here)! Today’s look is all about the long cardigan — which is a staple in every fashionista’s casual wardrobe. But this isn’t just any cardigan! This Melissa McCarthy cardigan that I borrowed from my Gwynnie Bee closet has some great details that takes this cardigan to the next level!
It’s your last chance to vote in the Riders by Lee Style Challenge! Don’t forget to visit the Riders by Lee Facebook Page and like my photo to vote for me. If you vote, you could also win some fab jeans, and you can help me win the style challenge. 🙂 This is the third look that I styled for the contest. The first post was a casual and fun look, the second was a colorful day look with some additional flair and today’s post is a little fancy! I pair these Riders by Lee Beautiful Comfort straight leg jeans with a deep burgundy velvet blazer and some rose gold heels.
There’s only 1 more day to vote for me in the Riders by Lee Style Challenge, so I’m pulling out all the stops and showing you my second plus size jeans look. If you haven’t already, PLEASE visit the Riders by Lee Facebook Page and like my photo to cast your vote for me! I think it’s my favorite! Of course, this challenge is all about the jeans — and these Beautiful Comfort plus size jeans by Riders by Lee are the perfect base for any number of looks. My first style (see it here) was a casual, fun look that was perfect for playing in the snow! Today’s look is all about jewel-tone drama!
Is there anything more chic than a classic black sheath dress and a camel coat?! I actually don’t wear a lot of black, but sometimes when I see a dress that is so elegant and impeccably executed like this Maggy London Illusion Sheath Dress, I have to have it! And do you know what really makes me happy? This dress is available in both straight and plus sizes! Kudos to Maggy London for making size-inclusive dresses!
