Plus Size Style Resolution with Gwynnie Bee

Plus Size Style Resolution with Gwynnie Bee

When Gwynnie Bee asked me what my plus size style resolution was for 2017, I had to take a moment to think. It’s January, and everyone is making resolutions — and some have already broken them! Even though New Year’s Resolutions get a bad rap, I love them, and make resolutions for every area of my life — including my personal style! So when Gwynnie Bee asked me what I wanted to accomplish with my style this year, I took the question seriously. After much thought, I’ve decided that my plus size style resolution for 2017 is: to seriously up my casual game this year.

It’s the New Year, y’all, and I’m celebrating by wearing ALL the sweaters.

So here’s the first in a series of posts featuring items from Fullbeauty.com, and today is all about this plus size sweater and these amazing skinny jeans!

Fashion Find: White Faux Fur Jacket from Lane Bryant

Are you looking for a plus size faux fur jacket this season? You are not alone. There has literally been an explosion of faux furs from various plus size retailers. I’m not just talking about the old-school sleek furs, but totally outrageous faux fur jackets with exaggerated, shaggy shapes and cool colors. I was lucky enough to grab this crazy version from Lane Bryant earlier this year and it’s my new favorite accessory! I bought a size 20/22 for even more of an exaggerated shape and it goes easily over thicker tops and sweaters.

Plus Size Holiday Style: Party Plaid

Plus Size Holiday Style: Party Plaid

I’ve been completely obsessed with plaid and am wearing it everywhere this season — even to fancy parties! There is something so cheerful and bold and comforting about plaid. I usually pair my plaid tops with jeans or pop them under a sweater, but I feel like this plaid deserved a night out. So, I paired this red and black plaid top (from Torrid last year) with this fab sparkly Eliza J Textured Full Skirt that I found at Nordstrom*. Add some sequin booties and some statement jewelry, and this plaid is ready to party!
