I totally had a plus size fan girl moment when I saw an ad for a red fringe skirt from Lane Bryant. Everything about the picture had me swooning! The flirty fringe, bold red color and sexy black boots…I knew I had to have this outfit from Lane Bryant! Normally, I take inspiration from the ads and pictures I see and make it my own…but I really couldn’t see improving on this…so, I bought the whole thing!
I love this Double V sweater in this bright red…so bold and fresh! I’ll be wearing it in another post later this week, so keep an eye out. And have I mentioned these Over the Knee Boots? They are wide calf, so they are perfectly suited to us plus size gals! And these are made of real leather and have a great mid-height heel that you can actually walk it. If you’re wanting to splurge on a great pair of boots this season, I would absolutely recommend these!
Plus size suede skirts are no longer a fantasy for curvy girls! This season, with 70s Boho Chic popping up in collections everywhere, I’m thrilled to report that I found the PERFECT plus size suede skirt! I don’t use the term perfect very often, but it definitely applies to this Plus Size A-Line Suede Skirt from Simply Be. It’s a rich camel suede with bright brass buttons down the front…and it’s the perfect mid to high-thigh length (that is, if you’re comfortable showing a lot of leg!). There is little to no stretch though, so if you are at the high end of your size, you might want to size up! I ordered a US18/UK22 and it was just this side of being too tight!

This year is a total Plus Size Revolution! The recent Lane Bryant #PlusisEqual campaign has helped highlight the increasing acceptance of plus size women on runways and in magazines. It’s been amazing to watch and to be a part of. How many times, as a plus size woman, have you been overwhelmed with choices?? It seems to be happening more and more to me lately, and I am reveling in that feeling! This outfit is one more example of how on point Lane Bryant is this season. This simple Venetian Red Ponte Circle Skirt fits perfectly, and paired with this Black Mock Neck Top, I’m feeling all sorts of fierce and fabulous.
Have you heard all of the amazing news from Lane Bryant and their #PlusisEqual campaign for New York Fashion Week? I’ve been loving all of the pictures posted by my fellow plus size bloggers and models who were lucky enough to be in NY for the launch party. So, instead of being jealous, I am celebrating here in Chicago by featuring an all Lane Bryant outfit. And YES, that is a CAMO SEQUIN PENCIL SKIRT!! Lane Bryant put out this Camo Sequin Pencil Skirt a month or two ago and I was obsessed from the minute I saw it. Did you know that the fashion gods have deemed sequins appropriate for day wear?? Well, I wanted to test that out and came up with this work-to-event look — entirely from Lane Bryant.
Lane Bryant Outfit: Camo Sequin Pencil Skirt; Distressed Denim Jean Jacket; Grosgrain Tank in Veiled Rose; Metallic Strappy Heel in Rose Quartz
Pairing this amazing camo skirt with a blush pink tank top plays with the idea of hard/soft…and the addition of the jean jacket adds a casual element that makes this whole outfit work for daytime. Simply remove the jacket to transition to evening!
A note on sizing: the camo pencil skirt runs small — order one or two sizes up! Also, if you have wide width feet, you’ll love these heels — so pretty and very roomy!!
I also decided to try out the Cobalt Eyeshadow trend with this look…very dramatic — but still not sure how I feel about it! lol
So, there you have it. Be bold and wear those sequins to the office — I know you want to!
Earlier this year, Lane Bryant debuted a plussize collection to die for! The 6TH & LANE Collection is fashion-forward, feminine and chic — something that is has been sorely lacking in the plussize market for years. The silhouettes and fabrics are inspired by the runway…and they are HOTT!
Take this little number, for example. Classic black sheath, but with zippered details to add some edge…and that unzip at the thigh to reveal chiffon kickpleats. LOVE it!
Sadly, this dress has already sold out, but check out the full collection at your local Lane Bryant store or online. You’ll find a number of sleek options with unique draping, prints, pleats and other details that take the collection to 11!
Over the knee boots from Nine West are the perfect accent to the edgy dress. And top it all off with a statement coat to really make an entrance! Flaunt what you’ve got, baby!
