What’s more classic than a black pencil skirt and a white top? But add some neon pumps, some quirky jewelry and leather accents, and you have a modern, fun twist on a classic outfit. Perfect for injecting some creativity in the daily grind of my office wardrobe.
This great plussize Calvin Klein top from Macy’s has mesh inserts at the shoulder and some wrap ruching details that walk the line between sporty and classic. And I absolutely love this leather panel pencil skirt I scored at Eloquii before they transitioned to an online store. The funky beaded necklace I picked up at Forever21 for almost nothing…and the neon peep toe heels were a great find from DSW last season. Who says fashion has to always be new???
When you want to add a bit of fun to an outfit–with a statement necklace and statement heels, keep the rest of your outfit simple and classic. That’s the way to really make it pop!
I bought this fabulous orange Calvin Klein Plus Size Sleeveless Zip-Front Moto Dress when it first debuted in Macy’s plussize section, and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to get a post up. Orange is having a major moment this season…and not just because of the show! The color is so fresh…and when it comes in this sporty moto silhouette with these great gold zippers, I could not resist!
The color of this alone makes it stand out, but then you add the unique zip front and moto feel, you have yourself a sporty-meets-classy, all around attention-getting dress that’s appropriate for work and for after-hours drinks!
Throw on some sporty heels and gold accessories, and you’re done!
I’m loving the new infusion of adorable pinup, vintage-looking labels in my Gwynnie Bee closet! Cherry Velvet is a great line with fun prints and flattering shapes for plussize girls with a love of pinup looks. This Adele Dress in Mod Dots (GB girls find it here) in this graphic black and white print has an fabulous sweetheart neckline, 3/4 length sleeves and a nipped in waist–with pockets. So cute!
Black and white goes great with a pop of color–these fab melon-orange heels are the perfect color and height. They are INC from Macy’s. Other mod-inspired accessories set off this look and make it fun and flirty. 
If you don’t know about Gwynnie Bee, you should definitely try it out! It ‘s the perfect way to try all sorts of looks without the commitment.
It’s finally swimsuit season in Chicago for real, and I’m celebrating by taking this Kiyonna Sand and Glam retro plussize swimsuit to the beach. In my last swimsuit post, I listed 5 adorable fatkinis, and I included this one from Kiyonna because, even though it’s not technically a two piece, it still gives the illusion of a bare midriff…and it’s got that awesome retro feel that I love so much!
The all-over ruching and criss-cross front with the mesh insert are details that make this suit stand out, and the color is just the fresh pop of glam for that sand!
I’ve become obsessed with watches in the past few months….seriously, I went from 1 old one in the bottom of my jewelry box to 4 amazing ones that I rotate from day to day. One of my newest acquisitions is an amazing JORD wood watch. JORD is all Swedish-like, meaning earth, soil and land…And that describes their philosophy perfectly. They search the world for gorgeous sustainable natural materials and woods that can be crafted into one-of-a-kind watches that look stylish and modern. Check out their collection…and try not to swoon!
I chose the Fieldcrest watch in Maple, since I wanted something light, fresh and modern for the summer. I fell in love with it the first time I put it on, and it has become a summer staple!
Soooo cool. Get yourself or your fella one of these watches immediately…and OH YEAH….It’s a perfect gift idea for Father’s Day! Amp up your Dad’s style with a funky, cool JORD watch.
