The Perfect Plus Size Dress for Your Tropical Vacation

Tropical vacations call for fabulous floral prints in bright colors, and this plus size Kiyonna Tropical Palm Print Coastal Cold-Shoulder Dress is the PERFECT piece to bring on vacation. Not only is the print on point, but the long loose cut with the plunge neckline keep it casual, but with some va-va-voom. I was recently in Hawaii, and had a blast walking down Waikiki beach and shopping in Honolulu in this fabulous dress. And did I mention it packs like a dream?

Summer Style Essential: Plus Size Wrap Dress in Coral from Kiyonna

Color is the color of the season, and wow, this Coral Honeycomb Wrap Dress from Kiyonna is rocking it! I had 4 people stop me on the way to work to gush and ask where they could get it. It’s no wonder that it’s nearly sold out. If you’re feelin’ this look, and you’re a plus size gal wearing a 2X, head over to Kiyonna right now and buy it. The color is amazing, the fabric lays perfectly, and the sheer honeycomb knit detail at the shoulders and sleeves give this dress even more edge. And did I mention that it’s a wrap dress? So it lays perfectly over curves!

A strong color like this can carry another strong color, so I paired it with turquoise accessories for even more punch. I kept the shoes simple with nude pumps, and that was it.

Plus Size Summer Essentials: The Floral Dress from Kohl’s

Summer is nearly here, and if you don’t have a floral dress in your wardrobe, get on it stat! Florals are a major trend this season — coming in every shade and combination — so pick the one that shows off your flair the best! When Kohl’s asked me what my summer essentials were for the plus size market, I knew that floral dresses were number one on my list. Proper, minimalist or bohemian, short or maxi, floral dresses are abundant. This adorable black, white and gray sleeveless dress is Apt. 9 from Kohl’s, and it has already become a go-to item in my closet!

I love the kind of abstract, but kind of photographic floral print. And the fabric is a fabulous stretch polyester knit which holds its shape and looks amazing though multiple wears.

I could have gone bold with my accessories, but was feeling more demure — so I paired it with blush pink pearls and wedges. Very ladylike, right??

 And there’s a cutout detail on the back! The scoop neck is modest and appropriate for work, and the cutout detail on the back adds flair, without being too revealing.

Comfortable, stylish, and on-trend are all the hallmarks of a summer essential. Check out the other summer essentials that my fellow bloggers picked out on the Plus Size Section of the Kohl’s website. SO CUTE!!!
