Sometimes, nothing else will do but an adorable retro dress in a fabulous sailor print. This plus size sailor print dress from Voodoo Vixen* is everything my vintage-loving heart could desire! From the bright gorgeous red to the white scalloped sweetheart neckline and trims — I’m swooning! The nautical print is a mix of anchors and steering wheels which has me wanting to set sail — even though I get horrible motion sickness! If you haven’t heard of Voodoo Vixen, and you’re a vintage/retro-loving gal…get yourself to their website! They have a great selection of plus size and straight size styles in 30s, 40s, and 50s shapes and styles. You’ll be in heaven!

Forever 21 Plus has really stepped up their plus size fashion game lately. Not only did they debut a plus size activewear line recently, but they are continuing to put out some of the absolute MOST DARLING plus size swimsuits on the market right now. I bought my first “fatkini” at Forever 21 last year, and it’s still one of my absolute favorites (see the post here). This year, I was all set to buy another 2-piece, but as soon as I laid eyes on this ADORABLE Forever 21 Plus Size Lemon/Leaf One-Piece, I had to have it!

It’s still cold here in Chicago (it was only 42 degrees when we did this shoot!!), but I’m already dreaming of how and when and where I’m going to wear this swimsuit this season!
In my last post, I told you all about Voodoo Vixen and the amazing plus size retro vintage looks from this great British brand. I have a bonus look to share with you today….can you say…CARDY?
The 50s were all about cardigans, full skirts and coordinated looks. I absolutely HAD TO HAVE this Sailor Cardigan, which is sadly already sold out. Isn’t it adorable?
I know…I’m such a tease showing you an outfit that’s either out of stock or from the back of my closet. But have no fear…there are so many other adorable plus size cardigan options at Voodoo Vixen!
Which one are you going to try??? Pick one and throw on a full circle skirt and some snub-nosed heels and you’ll be the cutest pin-up girl on the block!
You know I’m obsessed with flirty vintage retro dresses, and I get ridiculously happy when I discover a new source for plus size options! Voodoo Vixen is a British brand with hundreds of amazing vintage dresses, cardigans and skirts in fun, kitschy floral, fruity and flirty prints. And many of them come in plus sizes! I was in heaven to say the least, and I just had to try the Tilly Shirt Dress which comes in a fabulous minty pink floral print!
SO CUTE!!!! The print, the shape, the covered buttons…I felt so flirty and fabulous! I have nothing negative to say…just be sure to order a size up if you are chesty like me. I ordered a 3X and I was nearly busting out!
And…did I mention the Voodoo Vixen CARDIGANS???? In my next post, I’ll show you some of their adorable cardies…but I just want you to know ahead of time that there’s a matching cardigan in the same minty green with pink flowers! Check out the Eleanor Cardigan here.
