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!

LOOK! These colors are amazing! Bright oranges and blues and teals! This City Chic plus size maxi dress is everything a floral-dress-lover could want. I’ve had a not-so-secret obsession with City Chic, and I love that they are becoming easier and easier to find! They have been in Nordstrom for a few years, and online since the beginning. But now they’re in Macy’s and on Gwynnie Bee as well as part of the Fullbeauty suite of brands! I spotted this dress on Fullbeauty.com, but sadly they are already sold out (but check out the other fabulous City Chic pieces they care here)! It’s clear that City Chic is taking over the world…and why not? With killer dresses like this at fabulous price points, I can’t help but be a huge fan.

It’s never too early to start prepping for festival season! When the temp starts heating up and your calendar starts to fill with outdoor festivals and fests, you are going to wish you had this AX Paris Plus Size Tunic Dress with Flutter Sleeves and Crochet Hem from ASOS Curve! The bright bold print and the short flirty hem will guarantee that you’ll look cute and fresh no matter how hot the day gets. The flutter sleeves are whimsical and catch the wind perfectly. The smocked top is off the shoulder and might lay a little odd if you’re busty like me, but with some adjustments, it will lay just right. What more do you want from your festival wear? Throw on some fringe boots and a cross-body bag and you’re ready to rock the day (and night) away.

Don’t want to show that much leg? This dress will look great with some leggings and flats too!
I put this Ellos Striped Shirtdress on for a quick photo shoot, and no less than 3 people stopped and told me how much they loved it! And this was only about a 5 minute shoot. I loved it when I bought it, but after that reaction, this dress is going into my staple rotation this spring and summer! And why wouldn’t it? It’s adorable! This Ellos Striped Shirtdress from Fullbeauty.com is so classic and feminine and the full skirt is lovely and twirl-tastic!
I can’t wait for SPRING!! This City Chic Hot Bloom Dress from Fullbeauty.com is getting me in the mood for bold florals, bright colors and warmer temperatures! One look at this dress, and you can’t help but long for spring. Maybe if we all just start wearing our spring dresses, mother nature will give into the pressure…thoughts???
I can’t wait to shed my puffy coat for a lighter trenchcoat, like this Pastel Blue one from Woman Within, also found on Fullbeauty.com.
