Have you noticed that I’m slightly obsessed with polka dots this season?!? I just can’t seem to get enough of this fun print — it goes with everything and immediately make me happy–even on a rainy day. Today’s outfit features this City Chic Midi Spot Skirt with a mint green Vince Camuto Sleeveless Blouse from Nordstrom. On my lunch break earlier this summer, I wandered down to the Ju Ming Sculpture in downtown Chicago and had my coworker snap these pics.

This outfit was a staple of my work wear this summer, but I’m already planning to transition it into fall! Black tights and a black cardigan will give this skirt life well into the early winter months.
OK, I’m sure you’ve heard the hype…Target debuted a new plus size line called Ava & Viv, with the help of some fab plus size bloggers. Have you tried it yet? I was a little skeptical with their first collection…but all of that changed when I found these amazing Ava & Viv Black and White Ankle Pants. TO.DIE.FOR! I had to have them, and I’ve seriously worn them every other day to work this entire summer. So…I thought I’d give Target and Ava & Viv some love and showcase how I’ve been strutting my stuff in these pants. PSSSST they are on clearance right now. Snag them before they’re gone—but be sure you size UP. I’m normally a size 18, but I bought a size 20, and they are still a little tight!
Summer is winding down, and I am so behind on my style posts…I’m going to try to squeeze them all in before the weather turns! So check back daily to see my newest looks. 🙂
I’m  so so so ready for fall!!  I was thrilled when Yours Clothing, an awesome online plus size boutique out of England, asked me to come up with a Fall Style Post. This fall, I’m totally feelin’ the plaid, the khaki and the leather. So I immediately gravitated toward this Green and Navy Checked Tunic with a tie waist from Yours Clothing. I’m all about the shirt dresses, and this was a perfect, versatile option for the coming season.
Wear it bare-legged (like me!) or pair it with leggings or skinny jeans for a perfect casual fall outfit. And OMG…all of my curvy readers are always asking about wide-calf boots, and I’ve hit the holy grail with Yours Clothing! I’m sporting the Brown Leather Knee High Riding Boot with Buckle…which comes all the way up to an EEE width!
And can we talk about your coat game this fall? LOOK. Look at how amazing this lightweight Green Khaki Cocoon Shaped Parka Jacket with Drape Front is!!!
I’m SO ready for FALL! If you need some fun, on-trend fall fashion options, definitely check out Yours Clothing UK!
In my last post, I told you all about Voodoo Vixen and the amazing plus size retro vintage looks from this great British brand. I have a bonus look to share with you today….can you say…CARDY?
The 50s were all about cardigans, full skirts and coordinated looks. I absolutely HAD TO HAVE this Sailor Cardigan, which is sadly already sold out. Isn’t it adorable?
I know…I’m such a tease showing you an outfit that’s either out of stock or from the back of my closet. But have no fear…there are so many other adorable plus size cardigan options at Voodoo Vixen!
Which one are you going to try??? Pick one and throw on a full circle skirt and some snub-nosed heels and you’ll be the cutest pin-up girl on the block!
You know I’m obsessed with flirty vintage retro dresses, and I get ridiculously happy when I discover a new source for plus size options! Voodoo Vixen is a British brand with hundreds of amazing vintage dresses, cardigans and skirts in fun, kitschy floral, fruity and flirty prints. And many of them come in plus sizes! I was in heaven to say the least, and I just had to try the Tilly Shirt Dress which comes in a fabulous minty pink floral print!
SO CUTE!!!! The print, the shape, the covered buttons…I felt so flirty and fabulous! I have nothing negative to say…just be sure to order a size up if you are chesty like me. I ordered a 3X and I was nearly busting out!
And…did I mention the Voodoo Vixen CARDIGANS???? In my next post, I’ll show you some of their adorable cardies…but I just want you to know ahead of time that there’s a matching cardigan in the same minty green with pink flowers! Check out the Eleanor Cardigan here.
