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!

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!

The day they brought the peplum back in style, was a day that will go down in plus size fashion history! I know that some of you never saw the appeal, or are perhaps sick of it already…but I am a die-hard fan! And when I see fresh and modern takes on this classic shape like this Finn Abstract Peplum Top from Fashion to Figure, my soul rejoices a little more. From the bold, colorful paint brush print to the peek-a-boo detail at the neck…this peplum top is so fresh it hurts! And when you add a little sex appeal in the form of this Kaira Faux Leather Midi Pencil Skirt and a pop of Cherry Red Prynn Patent Tote, you’ve got a fabulous twist on an office wear classic silhouette. I’m in LOVE!!!
What’s your Valentine’s Day style? Are you sweet and innocent in pinks and florals…or do you go for a darker, more sultry look? I haven’t decided yet, but this outfit from Fullbeauty.com is definitely in the running! Sexy Black Denim 24/7 Sequin Leggings with a deep V City Chic Sparkle Peplum Top…with a tiger print clutch and red pumps for some additional spice!

Oooh La La! What’s your outfit game plan for Valentine’s???
I’ve fully embraced the concept of winter white and have been working so hard to come up with the perfect outfit. You can’t go halfway on a winter white outfit…you have to totally commit–and boy, did I ever! Once I saw this white Roaman’s ankle-length faux fur coat on Fullbeauty.com, I knew there was no turning back. I had to find an outfit that stood up to this ridiculously fun coat. And what goes best with faux fur? Sequins and Peplums of course!
