I love the classic Chanel Coat and periodically go hunting for something that will give me that posh, sophisticated look, without the price tag (not to mention that Chanel doesn’t make plus sizes!). After binge-watching Scream Queens on Netflix a few months ago, I went crazy trying to find something that gave me that same over-the-top Chanel look and feel. And low and behold…I found this amazing plus size Tahari ASL Faux Pearl Trim Boucle Tweed Jacket at Macy’s! (Sadly, it’s already sold out.) At first glance, this jacket might seem a little old-lady-ish, but when you add a short body-con tunic dress, piles of pearls, and some thigh-high boots, the look gets a little younger, edgier and Scream Queen-worthy!
Usually I laugh my size 18/20 butt off when I read the words “one size fits all,” so imagine my surprise to find a label that made tops, tunics and leggings that my size 2 friend and I can both fit into! Seriously, my friend and I were wandering down the streets of Charleston and we pop into a boutique called Tina Stephens — I didn’t think for a minute that there would be anything in that store for me. But when I started talking to the sales people, they told me about their Tees by Tina line that is made out of a special stretch fabric and is intended to fit a wide range of sizes. I fell in love so hard that I bought this awesome tunic dress, a cashmere sweater (size xl) and some leggings!
I put this luxe “One Size Fits All” look together the other night for a date night out with my man and felt so sexy!
