OOTD: Plus Size Bell Sleeve Top, Rockstar Jeggings, & Leopard Booties

January 8, 2018 By Lisa 12 Comments

Looking for an easy to throw on outfit that looks like you put a lot of thought into it? Look no further! This Bell Sleeve Top adds a touch of pizazz to a regular jeans and t-shirt look! And when you pair this with a pair of leopard booties, you dramatically up the fashion quotient!

I love that I work from home but it makes it really easy to get in a fashion (or maybe lack of fashion) rut. If you’re looking to up your style game, I highly recommend adding a bell sleeve top to your wardrobe. This black plus size bell sleeve top is as comfortable as any t-shirt you own, but definitely looks classier. These Plus Size Jeggings are super comfortable as well and the raw hem gives them a little touch of edginess. And what can I say about these Leopard Print Booties other than…I’m in love! Seriously! If you know me in real life, you know that leopard is my favorite neutral. Yep…leopard is a neutral and can be paired with almost anything! Isn’t that awesome?!?

Wanna duplicate this look?

Here’s what I’m wearing:

Raw Edge Jeggings
Tory Burch Leopard Booties Don’t want to pay that much? Check out these Leopard Print Booties.
Apple Watch
Leather Feather Earrings (made by a friend)
Sunglasses (Not available any more, but these are similar)
Brooklyn Beat Nails

I’ve realized that it doesn’t take a ton of effort to make myself look put together, but it’s always oh-so-worth it. I’m more productive, I’m not embarrassed when I run into people while quickly running to the store, and I feel better about myself! If you’re in a style rut, I highly encourage you to add a few fun pieces to your wardrobe that will really up your style game.

Best Jean Capris: Plus Size Denim Capris for Every Occasion

June 27, 2017 By Lisa Leave a Comment

I’m so thrilled that summer is here! The weather is warming up and the casual days are perfect for capris and graphic tees. I’ve been looking for the best jean capris…plus size denim capris for every occasion. Here are 10 of my favorite pairs of plus size capris!

Jean Capris: Plus Size Denim for Every Occasion

Plus Size White Jeggings

The Jeggings style that you love so much is now cropped with a rolled hem; however, the form-fitting denim flatters just the same! The crisp white wash style has a three-button higher rise waist (smooths the tummy) and faux front pockets.

Plus Size Cropped Jeans

These fabulous shaping cropped jeans have ab technology that features slimming panels and some booty lifting magic. They are lightly distressed and have some fading and whiskering. The 5 pocket construction and zip fly with button closure complete these awesome jeans!

Plus Size Crop Jeans

Whiskering, fading and small touches of distressing bring a well-worn look to stretch-denim jeans in a cropped-leg cut with rolled hems. Melissa’s signature ‘M’ is stitched over the back pockets.

Ripped Boyfriend Jeans

Frayed abrasions and shredded holes bring a look of well-worn history to soft, stretchy jeans in a slouchy boyfriend cut with ankle-grazing hems that roll to your perfect length.

Kut from the Kloth Boyfriend Jeans

The fraying at the hems and distressing throughout perfects the lived-in look of stretch-denim jeans in a comfortably relaxed boyfriend silhouette.

Skinny Jean Capris

Destructed skinny denim in a capri length (i.e., you’ll be reaching for these on repeat as the temps warm). These capris feature five pockets and a button & zip fly closure.

Embroidered Skinny Jeans

I love Melissa McCarthy…and besides being super funny, she also knows how to work a winning combo (like this skinny crop jean’s floral embroidery and destruction).

NYDJ Capris

These cropped boyfriend jeans from NYDJ are cut from soft stretch denim and finished with widely cuffed hems.

Easy Fit Black Denim Capris

These Easy Fit capris are designed to look great, feel great and retain their shape no matter where your day takes you.

Levis Capris

These fabulous shaping capris come in a variety of colors! You’re sure to find one you’ll love for this summer!

I hope you found a fabulous pair of capris that you’ll absolutely love for this summer! Have a favorite pair of plus size denim capris that aren’t listed here? Leave a comment and let me know so I can check them out!

7 Best Plus Size Cardigans for Fall

October 7, 2016 By Lisa Leave a Comment

I love sharing my favorite picks on my plus size style blog and these are the best Plus Size Cardigans out there this season. Cardigans are one of the best ways to transition clothing through seasons. They can dress something up or down. I especially love how they are ideal for adding fashion trends while camouflaging problem areas. This list includes my favorites for this transition season.

7 Best Plus Size Cardigans for Fall

I am always looking for a great mix of cute and classic plus size fashion. Fall cardigans are a great way to add some super cute looks and layers to my wardrobe without a ton of money. I love the classic style, the new fun hi-low styles, and of course, the longer duster style Fall cardigans on this list.

Women’s Plus Size Open Front Pointelle Cardigan: I love this choice in fall cardigans because the simple drape is flattering to every figure. It’s also a great option with multiple color choices that are warm earth tones ideal for fall.

Hybrid & Company Women’s Casual Flowy Open Front Cardigan: My favorite part of this plus size fashion piece is how long it is. Ideal for wearing over leggings or skinny jeans if you want to cover your backside. This longer cardigan is so pretty and available in multiple rich colors for fall.

Women’s Plus Size 3/4 Sleeve Textured Knit Cardigan: I adore this style with the textured look. It’s so perfect for those not quite cold days you want a bit more warmth. The rich brown is great to match boots, bags and makes a simple pair of jeans and a shirt pop.

Kiyonna Women’s Belted Cardigan: This shorter style with a tie belt is an ideal choice for someone that needs an empire waist style look to flatter their curves. 3/4 sleeves make it ideal for the transition weather of Fall.

Women’s Striped Long Cardigan with Elbow Patch: I adore this as a fall cardigans choice simply for the style. Stripes can be flattering to any figure, and the fun elbow patch makes this even more appealing.

Classic Knit Long Sleeve Cardigan: This one is the classic cardigan style you expect. I love the look, but especially the mustard color for adding a punch of color into your basic plus size fashion for the season. There are tons of other colors available, and at the low price, it makes a great addition to your wardrobe.

BIADANI Women’s Flowing Drape Front Lightweight Cardigan: The way this cardigan flows is so flattering to any figure. The lightweight material makes it perfect for the transition season, and being available in so many different colors at a great price means you can really add several to your wardrobe without breaking the bank.

The best thing about these plus size cardigans is how easily they flow into your wardrobe. You can use them to stay warm over a simple t-shirt and jeans or to add style to a skirt and blouse. I especially love how cute they are with my favorite leggings and tunics!
