Summer is hitting its stride here in Chicago, and we’ve had weeks and weeks of super hot temps, which has me trying to wear the lightest and least restrictive clothing I can get my hands on. And that led me to another City Chic dress (see my last post about this cheery yellow sundress here)…this time, I went with a silky smokey blue maxi dress with a racerback knot and slits on the side.
There’s something about a blue and white floral print that’s so fresh and striking! This Boohoo Plus Blue Floral Co-Ord is made up of 2 pieces — a boxy crop top and a bodycon pencil skirt. Wearing both together creates a blue floral explosion for the eye!
Quirky prints? Fun silhouettes? Bold patterns? These are the hallmarks of indie designer Rachel Antonoff and she recently collaborated with Gwynnie Bee* on an exclusive plus size collection that I am IN LOVE WITH. I’m sure you’ve all heard the news, but I absolutely HAD to get these pieces in my Gwynnie Bee closet once I saw them. The Rachel Antonoff and Gwynnie Bee plus size collection had me at the words “Frog Print Dress.”

This heat wave here in Chicago doesn’t seem to be slowing down! And when it’s this hot, I want to be wearing next to nothing. I want something light and airy that doesn’t cling to my sweat-soaked body. And thankfully, City Chic has tons of adorable plus size dresses that keep me cool and looking cute no matter how hot it gets! Here’s a cheery little number…the Sunshine Striped Tunic in a color called Daffodil.
Atlanta, I’m coming for you!!!!! I’m so so so excited to attend the TCF Style Expo this weekend in Atlanta. One of my favorite plus size blogger boos, Marie Denee, the creator of The Curvy Fashionista, is hosting a 2 day event full of fashion, shopping and fun! Come see me there on August 12-13 — that’s THIS Friday and Saturday!
