Pink and white is one of my favorite color combos for summer! It’s so fresh and crisp…and magenta is nearly universally flattering. I’m loving this extreme hi-low twist front magenta top and bright white cropped jeggings and other awesome finds from Yours Clothing, which is a great, affordable plus size clothing retailer out of the UK.

Look how cute this top is! It’s so unique with the twist in the front and the extreme dip in the back. It’s an easy throw-over design and has 3/4 sleeves which is great for chilly air conditioned buildings. And the extreme hi-low proportions just work perfectly with a nice slim cut white denim jegging. Many plus size jeggings are cut too wide and end up looking a little frumpy, but this jeggings hugged my legs just right and had the perfect amount of stretch. I also love the easy pull-on design instead of zipper/button combo. I added some pops of blue and yellow and voila! An adorable plus size outfit to take me throughout the summer!

Apparently, I cannot get enough plus size red dresses this season! Red is just so bright and bold and it truly stands out in a sea of LBDs. This plus size Closet Split Front Red Dress from Simply Be* is not only the perfect shade of bluesy red…but it has a unique shape that makes this dress even stand out more!

Can we take a moment to appreciate these incredible Steve Madden sandals for a second?! Suede Fringe heels with ankle ties. SWOON!
Not only is it officially spring…but with it comes one of my favorite non-event events: the Kentucky Derby! Why do I love it? Well, truly only one reason: the hats! I love that for one day out of the year, people are forced to wear hats! I wish there were more hat-situations in my life! But until I move to England, I will have to be satisfied with my Kentucky Derby Hat Day! Now, a bit about my outfit…I’ve been a Fullbeauty brand ambassador for several months now, and I love that they keep adding new plus size brands to their line up! Another fabulous (and one of my favorite) brands is Fashion to Figure and they have recently joined the Fullbeauty ranks. When I saw this Plus Size Off the Shoulder Ruffled Peplum Dress from Fashion to Figure on Fullbeauty.com, I knew my Derby Dreams were about to come true!

OK ok, I know it’s a lot to promise that this is the best cocktail dress for plus size ladies, but I love it so much, I have it in 2 colors (this one is for sale in my online store stylepluscurves.bigcartel.com –>> Shop it here). So that goes to show you how much faith I have in it and how amazing it makes me feel! Tadashi Shoji is an American-based Japanese designer who specializes in evening wear, and — as you might remember — was one of the only designers “willing” to dress plus size celebrities Octavia Spencer and Melissa McCarthy before it became a little trendier to do so! I discovered this Tadashi Shoji Plus Size Lace Sheath Dress at Nordstrom, where I completely fell in love with this short lace plus size cocktail dress. I put it on, and I swear there were rainbows and fireworks and birds singing. It comes in 7 colors, and I have it in the deep amethyst purple and this amazing muted teal color, called starry night.

Rompers (or playsuits in the UK) are just the shorter, more playful version of jumpsuits…and I have no idea why I’ve avoided them this long! I’m absolutely loving this khaki color Simply Be Wrap Playsuit! It’s cute and (gasp!) comfortable too.

A quick note on sizing — I am usually an 18/20, but have a full belly…so I ordered a US20, which is a UK 24 in order to ensure that I had plenty of room in the belly area. So, if you’re a full apple shape like me, you might want to size up!
