I love the high neckline on this dress with the great pleat detail is so unique. And the pleating at the waist is in the perfect position to flatter the tummy and hip area. The knee-length hem is perfect for the office. And can we talk about the color of this dress? It’s like a gorgeous deep red wine!

Sting Like A Bee! Yellow Lace Peplum Top and Short Black Shorts

I have always been a little wary of the yellow and black color scheme…since it puts me in mind of bumble bees and Stryper, the spandex-clad christian glam rock band from the 80s (don’t know who they are? click here.) But the time has come to bring out the gold and black in all its glory! When I found this gorgeous marigold lace peplum top from Jessica London on fullbeauty.com, I knew that these short black shorts from Torrid would be the perfect pairing. The marigold yellow is so bright and cheery and the same colored lace overlay is so ladylike! When you pair it with some flirty black short shorts, you’ve got a cute, summer ready and sunshine-y outfit!

Getting Twisted in this Vintage Blue Kiyonna Plus Size Dress

TWISTED! Every time I order a new dress from Kiyonna, I’m convinced that it can’t get any better than the one I had before…but IT DOES!! One of the newest styles is this Tantalizing Twist plus size dress. It’s got the great bust line that Kiyonna is known for (making the gals look fab!) and the bare shoulder cut outs that are having a moment right now. Of course, the waist line cinches in the silhouette while the fabulous draping on the skirt hangs just perfectly. This dress was made specifically to show off a curvy body. And can we talk about this dreamy vintage blue color??

Flashback Friday: BB Dakota Plus Size Bodycon Dress from Gwynnie Bee

It’s Flashback Friday, and I stumbled across this ridiculously cool shoot from over a year ago — never-posted! This is a great and oh-so-tough BB Dakota Plus Size Bodycon Dress that I closeted from Gwynnie Bee — the best plus size clothes subscription service out there. The crazy black and white print on the jacquard fabric creates a strange optical illusion — it’s so cool, it hurts!

Voodoo Vixen Plus Size Retro Sailor Print Dress

Sometimes, nothing else will do but an adorable retro dress in a fabulous sailor print. This plus size sailor print dress from Voodoo Vixen* is everything my vintage-loving heart could desire! From the bright gorgeous red to the white scalloped sweetheart neckline and trims — I’m swooning! The nautical print is a mix of anchors and steering wheels which has me wanting to set sail — even though I get horrible motion sickness! If you haven’t heard of Voodoo Vixen, and you’re a vintage/retro-loving gal…get yourself to their website! They have a great selection of plus size and straight size styles in 30s, 40s, and 50s shapes and styles. You’ll be in heaven!

What I love about this adorable plus size retro dress: I’ve already talked about the charming nautical print. The full 50s silhouette is so great for women of all sizes — the nipped in belted waist with the sweetheart neckline is so flattering! And the cap sleeves are big enough for my arms, without being too big or gaping. I’m wearing a size 3X, since their dresses run a little snug — especially if you have a large bust. I’m in between a 2X/3X, so I opted to have a little more room. Bring on the boat parties! In a dress this cute, I am tempted to forget that I get motion sick and will sail away into the sunset!
