Business Casual for Women: An Easy Outfit Plus Business Casual Ideas

September 7, 2016 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Business Casual for Women: An Easy Outfit Plus Business Casual Ideas

I often get asked “What does ‘business casual for women‘ mean?  It seems like many people aren’t sure exactly what a business casual outfit entails.  While there are many different business casual looks out there, I have 4 business casual looks that I typically go for.

Business Casual for Women:

  1. Feminine skirt with a tee and a denim jacket
  2. Black pants with a cute cardigan. (I’m partial to White House Black Market cardigans)
  3. Comfy dress with a cardigan or a denim jacket.
  4. Dressy jeans with a button down, blazer and heels

Today’s Plus Size Outfit of the Day is the perfect look for those days when you want to stay in bed but know you need to get to work and that you need to look presentable! 🙂

I threw on a polka dot Lucy skirt, a black tee, and a denim jacket!  I topped it off with a pair of fun earrings and a bright colored handbag! This is a great example of a feminine skirt with a tee and a denim jacket!

LuLaRoe Lucy Worn As A Dress #OOTD

August 29, 2016 By Lisa Leave a Comment

LuLaRoe Lucy Worn As A Dress #OOTD

Today I am sharing another LuLaRoe favorite of mine!  This is the LuLaRoe Lucy worn as a dress.   I added a LuLaRoe Joy over top of it.  I love the way the lace Joy makes everything look prettier and more feminine!  I then added a belt and some fabulous Noonday accessories!

This is a really fun look for work, but would also be great for a lunch date, an evening out or a women’s event!  I love that it’s comfy enough to wear all day long.  Before I discovered LuLaRoe, I would wear cute clothes out in public and as soon as I got home I would change into pajamas or shorts and a tank top.  Now that I’m wearing comfy clothes, I find that I tend to look great all day long…not just when I’m out in public! 🙂

I absolutely love the feminine silhouette of the LuLaRoe Lucy Skirt! It is beautiful as a skirt and also beautiful as a dress! I love it paired with a LuLaRoe Joy!

Wide Calf Boots: Best Places to Find Wide Calf Boots for Plus Size Women

August 25, 2016 By Lisa 3 Comments

Wide Calf Boots: Best Places to Find Wide Calf Boots for Plus Size Women

Fall will be here soon and I can’t wait! I love boots so much and I can’t wait until I can wear them every. single. day!!!  If you are looking for wide calf boots, you’ve come to the right place!  I’m going to share my favorite places to buy wide calf boots for women as well as some alternatives to wide calf boots!

Have you ever wished you could find boots that would fit your calves? Wish no more! Here are some of the best places to find Wide Calf Boots and Extra Wide Calf Boots!

Best Places to Find Wide Calf Boots for Plus Size Women

Zulily – Zulily is one of my favorite places to shop for boots.  They often have sales on a brand called Intaglia which offers Wide Calf Boots and Extra Wide Calf Boots!

Lane Bryant – Lane Bryant has always been a great source for plus size fashion, but did you know that it’s also a great source for boots?  They have a variety of boot styles!

Torrid – I love the variety of trendy boots that Torrid offers!  If you’re looking for over the knee boots, Torrid is the place to go!

JustFab – JustFab has a bunch of great boots that will fit your calfs and the prices are phenomenal!  This is a subscription service and if you don’t choose to cancel each month, they will charge your credit card $39.95 which you can then use to purchase other items!

6pm.com – 6pm.com has a wide variety of wide calf boots at wide variety of price points!  I found boots as low as $13 and some that topped $200.

Avenue – I’ve never tried boots from Avenue, but my super adorbs friend Rachel says their boots are fabulous and they go on sale every year!

Alternatives to Wide Calf Boots

I know you came here looking for wide calf boots, but I wanted to let you know that you may have other options!  I love wearing cowboy boots….and quite a few of them are wide enough for me to wear!

Black Nicole with Ariat Boots

I also have this pair of Ariat Boots (I actually have them in all 3 colors) and they fit like a dream! I recently loaned them to a friend for her trip to Texas.  When I offered them to her she told me she couldn’t wear boots because her calves were too big, but she was pleasantly surprised when she put them on.

If you’re not into cowboy boots, consider wearing booties.  Most of them are short enough that you don’t need to worry about your calves!

Do you have a favorite place for buying boots? Leave me a comment!
