Fall Fashion With Fullbeauty: Black Dress with Brown Boots

You all know that I’m a huge fan of Fullbeauty.com and love love love that there’s one destination that features so many of my favorite brands and some new-to-me brands as well! I’m so happy to collaborate with fullbeauty.com* on a series of Fall Fashion posts, and I wanted to start off with a staple fall outfit — the dress + boot combo.

How adorable is this True Destiny Black Lighthouse Dress from Fullbeauty.com?! I call it my rick-rack dress because of the fun embellishments on the hem and sleeves. This simple A-line dress is so versatile and perfect for transitioning to fall! It’s lightweight with a bit of frill on the 3/4 length sleeve. I love that it hits above the knee on me, since I like to show some leg, but it will look just as cute paired with some leggings!

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!

Plus Size Swimsuit: Swim Sexy

So many sexy plus size swimsuits have flooded the market! Five years ago, there were ZERO bikinis for plus sizes, and extremely limited choices in a range dull colors. How times have changed!! Colorful, fun, sexy and trendy plus size swimsuits are EVERYWHERE now! And have you seen the ad campaigns related to them? The recent Swimsuits For All Swim Sexy campaign featuring Ashley Graham, Nicola Griffin, and Philomena Kwao was groundbreaking (see it here), and I seriously almost cried when I saw those beautiful, diverse bodies represented on a national scale. As a Fullbeauty.com Ambassador, I was thrilled that Swimsuits For All is one of their partner brands and I knew I had to have one. As soon as I saw it, I fell in love with this red hot polka dot bikini! It’s actually called the Swim Sexy Diva White Dot High Waist Bikini and you can find it on Fullbeauty.com.

The halter top and highwaisted bottoms in this fun dot print made me feel like a retro pinup girl from the 50s. Swim Sexy suits run small, so definitely order one size up and it’ll fit perfectly!

I wore this plus size bikini during my recent trip to Iceland when I visited the Fontana Geothermal Baths as part of my “Warm Baths, Cool Lights” Tour that I booked with IcelandAir. The scenery was spectacular, and the chance to experience the geothermal baths like the locals was amazing. And OMG if you go, you have to taste the bread that’s made there — they bake it in underground ovens with the natural heat from the earth. AMAZING.

Summer Style: Plus Size White Eyelet Midi Dress from Jessica London

It almost Memorial Day…and that means — get out your gorgeous white dresses! Although I’m a big believer in breaking fashion “rules” and don’t really abide by the “no-white-after-Labor-Day,” I can’t deny that Memorial Day feels like summer and summer means white! This white plus size dress from Jessica London on Fullbeauty.com is the perfect dress to wear to welcome summer! The white eyelet is so crisp and the sleeveless shape with a collar and a tie belt feels preppy and not too sweet.

The key to a great plus size white dress is quality fabric. It can’t be too see through and it needs some structure. That’s what I love about this Jessica London dress. The eyelet fabric has some structure and is weighty enough so that when placed over the white cotton lining, you can’t see through it. I bought this dress as a “maybe” — because I thought the midi length might look a little frumpy and shapeless. But I’m SO glad I got it…the length hits me just below the knee and flares out a bit. The sleeveless shirtdress silhouette looks immaculate when rendered in white eyelet. The tie belt pulls it in and gives me a relaxed shape. Overall, it’s a great dress and I’ll definitely be wearing it throughout the summer!

Plus Size Style: Polka Dot Shirtdress and Red Heels

Memorial Day is just around the corner, and you know what that means…SUMMER IS HERE! Plus size summer style is all about great dresses in adorable prints. And you know I’m a sucker for polka dots…this blue and white polka dot shirtdress from Ellos on Fullbeauty.com is everything that is right about summer style.

This cotton shirtdress is my favorite! No really — I loved it so much in the red stripe (see the post here) that I had to have it in the polka dot too! The full gathered skirt with the nipped in waist and buttons all down the front is so retro–and not to mention flattering! It’s such an easy, chic dress that is appropriate for just about any occasion this summer! Wear it with flats or with a fabulous pair of heels like these Steve Madden red fringe sandals that I found at Macy’s a few months ago!
