Classiques Entier Plus Size Silk Floral Dress

Here’s another amazing plus size dress from Classiques Entier, Nordstrom’s in house luxury brand. From the silk georgette floral material in this deep green with pops of yellow, to the A-line shape with a nice pleated v-neck and short cap sleeves…this dress is super flattering from head to hem. It lays so perfectly over your curves and I completely felt like a million bucks when I slipped it over my head!

This dress is such a stunner that all you need is a pop of citron yellow like these D’orsay pumps, and simple accessories like this camel-colored Kate Spade bag.

Plus Size Fashion: We Wear Short Skirts!

Plus size women have so many more choices now! It’s a whole new world that has opened up in the last two years, and I couldn’t be happier. Clothes that would have never been manufactured in plus sizes — like mini skirts and crop tops! — are now showing up in major retailers everywhere. Shopping is so fun now — since I know that I have cute, stylish and fashion forward clothes to choose from! So to celebrate…I’m showing a little leg in today’s post!

This is just a simple skater skirt from Forever 21 Plus, but it’s short and bright and perfect! The pleats at the front and back provide a little bit of shape. And this textured crop top (which isn’t too cropped!) is so fresh and refined. Tomato and white are two of the hottest colors for SS16, and together, they are a winning combo! And because I’m a fan of hi/lo dressing, I’ve paired this Forever 21 Plus outfit with higher end accessories. These pumps from Alexander Wang are so colorful and amazing! They are a different shape than most pumps and the woven textile fabric is so unique. And, you’ve seen these Saint Laurent Retro Surf sunglasses in quite of my posts lately. I just can’t get enough!

Black Cropped Plus Size Jumpsuit from Avenue

This is the wardrobe essential you never knew you needed! This cropped plus size jumpsuit from Avenue is TOO CUTE! It hits on two trends going into spring — cropped pants and sleek modern silhouettes. Most people either love or hate jumpsuits, so if you love them, you’ll be in heaven with this Cutout Gaucho Jumpsuit from Avenue. The cropped legs are a modern twist, the black rayon fabric is easy to wear and breezy, and the cutouts at the neck add some dimension and detail. If you’re a jumpsuit hater, let me encourage you to try this one! The elasticized waist with the tie belt give you a lot of options for where you want the waist to hit so that it’s most flattering on your body.

The only problem with jumpsuits? You have to unzip them fully to go to the bathroom…so don’t wait too long to go, or you’ll be panicking!!! So, those are my two words of wisdom: buy a plus size jumpsuit for spring and don’t wait too long to go to the bathroom when you wear it. LOL

Closet Find: A Charming Retro Floral Dress from City Chic

It’s no secret that I have tons and tons of plus size dresses bursting my closet at the seams. That’s one of the reasons I recently revamped my online store (ACCESS IT HERE) so that I could let some of my clothes breathe! I have so many dresses that it’s hard for me to find the ones I truly love. In fact, I recently rediscovered this City Chic black floral fit-and-flare plus size dress in the back of my closet and wore it out with my boyfriend for date night. Then I realized that I had never posted the adorable pictures I took of it from over a year ago! I still had my short bob (totally miss it now!!) and the snow was just starting to melt. I love this dress for it’s feminine 50s shape, flared out skirt (it has netting underneath!) and the elbow length sleeves. It fits like a glove!

And of course, we took these pictures at high noon (a big photoshoot no-no), so this is pretty much how I spent the whole shoot!

Aren’t these florals just so bold and beautiful?! They jump right off the black background! Sadly, it’s already sold out, but the good news for you is that it will be coming to my online store soon!!! If you want to call dibs on it, email me and I’ll put it aside for you!

I love that this dress goes so well with black tights and colorful shoes! It makes it appropriate for all seasons. 🙂

Whew, we took a break and came back outside when it wasn’t so sunny!

Feeling Mod? Try A Graphic Shift Dress From Simply Be

I don’t like sticking to one style. I am a plus size fashion lover and I have love affairs with all of the different eras and styles. Sometimes, I’m in the mood for a 50s pinup look, sometimes I want to go for a strong #girlboss style, and other times, I want to go graphic and bold and a little 60s mod. Today is one of those days! This High Neck Crepe Dress from Simply Be is a little odd and very mod. I love the wide windowpane black and white print. And the high neck speaks to this style’s 60s roots. A funky extra is this stepped hem — it’s shorter in the front panel and is longer at the sides and back. It creates visual interest and drama — and ensures that your look is far from boring!

Simply Be Crepe High Neck Plus Size Shift Dress

The stepped hem really makes the dress quite short in the front if you’re tall like me. So consider wearing some black tights underneath to extend the lines and provide some coverage!

I think this bright blue Kristin Blake coat provides a fabulous contrast to the graphic print of the dress, don’t you? Add your own colorful topper and some booties, and see where your day takes you!
