I love the vivid, bold colors and graphic prints that define most pop art, and when I find it on a plus size dress that features big red lips…well, you know I’m gonna buy it! I got this last here at Posh Shoppe (an online plus size retailer with funky fast-fashion finds). Unfortunately, it’s out of stock, but here’s the link in case it comes back. This dress is short and fits your curves like a glove. I paired it with an ankle-length duster and some peep-toe booties for some extra edge. Are you feelin’ it?
SAILOR PANTS, Y’ALL! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I swooped through my local Lane Bryant. I saw, big, beautiful, bright white, wide-leg, high waisted sailor pants–complete with gold buttons down the front. I fell in love instantly…and had to take them home and give them a whirl right away!
Definitely size up — I’m an 18/20 at Lane Bryant, and went with the 20 so that the buttons laid right across my tummy. Find a way to show off the buttons — either tuck in your shirt or wear a crop top. I went with black, but navy and any type of stripe will look fantastic! On my 5’9 frame, the pants were just a smidge too short, but I imagine that shorter gals will love where the hem falls with heels. So, there we are…my dream of plus size sailor pants has finally come true!!!
I usually shy away from chunky knit sweaters…something about them has always had me feeling frumpy whenever I tried one on. However, I’ve been trying to go for more simple, stream-lined outfits lately and thought I’d work with a fashion staple like this one. This Ellos Black Chunky Knit Sweater is from Fullbeauty.com, and I was so surprised when I put it on! It wasn’t frumpy at all. In fact, I felt oh-so-chic! So here are 2 ways that I came up with to wear a chunky knit sweater–one is more classic and the other is funky and fun!
First up… a classic and chic black and white look.
Next, I wanted something a little funky and fun…so I added a sequin skirt, a cat hat and a funky bag!

But if quirky accessories aren’t your thing, this outfit looks good by itself too!
For some of you in other parts of the country, it’s already starting to feel like spring and you’re pulling out all of your cute pastel dresses. Well, I’m super jealous, because it’s still cold and snowy here in Chicago. Today’s snow was actually pretty beautiful though, and I thought it would be perfect to break out this adorable Sherpa Coat that I bought from Lane Bryant a few months ago. They are already sold out, but the pictures were so cute, I had to show you!
Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope all of you feel love today! It’s snowing here, so I stepped outside to play for just a minute and snapped some pics of this cute, casual look.
