#GIRLBOSS Style: Red Origami Sheath From Adrianna Papell

Sometimes, a classic sheath dress in a rich color is all you need to command a room! This Adrianna Papell Origami Sheath Dress is so rich and flattering, that I had to buy it after trying it through my Gwynnie Bee subscription! You’ve heard about Gwynnie Bee, right?

I love the high neckline on this dress with the great pleat detail is so unique. And the pleating at the waist is in the perfect position to flatter the tummy and hip area. The knee-length hem is perfect for the office. And can we talk about the color of this dress? It’s like a gorgeous deep red wine!

Flashback Friday: BB Dakota Plus Size Bodycon Dress from Gwynnie Bee

It’s Flashback Friday, and I stumbled across this ridiculously cool shoot from over a year ago — never-posted! This is a great and oh-so-tough BB Dakota Plus Size Bodycon Dress that I closeted from Gwynnie Bee — the best plus size clothes subscription service out there. The crazy black and white print on the jacquard fabric creates a strange optical illusion — it’s so cool, it hurts!

Even though this dress isn’t currently available on the Gwynnie Bee closet site, you can purchase it for a significant discount in the Gwynnie Bee Store! That’s another advantage to this plus size clothing service — any of the styles you see on the site or try at home are also available for purchase! So if you love something, you never have to send it back! And you can go directly to the store and see what’s available there too. If you’re interested, you can sign up for Gwynnie Bee HERE.

Summer Essentials from Gwynnie Bee: Fresh Squeezed Orange

If you’ve seen my Instagram account this month, you’ll know that only one color is calling my name this season: ORANGE. I can’t get enough of this bright, fun and unexpected hue! One of my favorite orange plus size dresses is this City Chic Zip Front Tunic Dress that I got from Gwynnie Bee. It’s a fresh squeezed summer essential and I can’t stop wearing it!

The Beauty of Simplicity Featuring Universal Standard Plus Size Geneva Dress

The plus size fashion industry has exploded and new amazing labels are debuting all over the world. It’s truly an exciting time for plus size fashionistas who have been craving more options for years! Universal Standard is a plus size line defined by its modern aesthetic, clean lines and fashion-forward designs. Their minimalist pieces have truly filled a hole in the plus size market. I was so excited when they joined the ranks of Gwynnie Bee brands and I was able to try this Universal Standard Geneva Dress risk free as part of my monthly subscription*.

This simple gray dress is a perfect example of the beauty of simplicity. Basically, it’s a cotton midi tshirt dress with a high crew neck and cap sleeves. But it has amazingly unique details like the curved side design that creates an asymmetrical drape. So simple, but so different!

It’s simple. It’s modern. And it’s designed specifically for plus size bodies. It’s my first time trying Universal Standard, and I’m pretty sure I will be a raving fan in no time!

French Flair from my Gwynnie Bee Closet: Eloquii Hi Low Skirt

It’s been a while since I posted about my love for Gwynnie Bee and what an awesome resource it is for plus size fashionistas who want variety in their closets! But I thought it was time to feature it again, since there’s so much happening over at the “hive” and they are turning 4 years old! A ton of new lines have been added and the Gwynnie Bee selection is out of this world! {Check out Gwynnie Bee Here, if you’re interested!}

Eloquii is one of their recent acquisitions, and I am thrilled, since that line is on the pricier side, and I love having access to so many of their fabulous pieces for one monthly rate. This allows me to play around with many different looks and take chances with my fashion, without the financial investment…and without taking up permanent space in my closet! Here’s a recent example of a fun outfit I put together with the Eloquii Slick Scuba Hi Lo Skirt from Gwynnie Bee. It’s got a ton of French Flair, n’est pas?

The scuba knit fabric of this Eloquii skirt is heavier and you can definitely tell it’s higher quality. The under skirt is shorter, and the front panel is split to reveal flashes of your legs underneath — so it’s modest, but with a hint of sex appeal. Oh, and of course…for all of you pocket-lovers out there, there are pockets at the hip. Eloquii always runs small (I learned that from trying on so many Gwynnie Bee items!) so be sure to order a size up!
