Floral Transitions: Plus Size Outfit of the Day

"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all." ~Stanley Horowitz

This is an ode to floral in the autumn. Yes it can be done! I love this look because it has all the best of the years past with spring floral, summer wedges and a fall navy blazer.

I think this is a great outfit for work. It's full of color and pattern yet it's classic enough to fit in many  office environments.

The details: Did you know that this blazer is from the late 80's early 90s? I found it at a thrift store. The dead give away is that it has shoulder pads but as you can see...they do narrow my waist visually. So I'll take it :p

These Target wedges have become a favorite.

Fun Fact: This bag was a Christmas gift. It's a Lulu Guinness. She is a British designer who designs quirky fun bags with a signature lipstick print on the inside lining.

So what are your fall transitional pieces these days? Please share in the comment box below.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Fashions,

Young Ladies Who Lunch: Plus Size Outfit of the Day

Hello fashion friends!

Something new: I turned my top! This sounds a bit odd but it's exactly what I mean. The moment I turned my top from back to front it instantly became more interesting. This tribal inspired top from Forever 21+ has turned out to be a favorite of mine this summer. It has a great crisscross scoop in the back but I was not sure how often it was seen.

This time I decided to turn my shirt around to create a new dimension to my outfit. I think it takes a rather classic outfit of a black dress, black wedges, black purse and gives it the kick it needs. So lesson learned I guess...turning your clothes inside out, upside down or wrong way around can be much more visually stimulating! And it can potentially take a much worn clothing item and change it into something fresh again.

I think this look resembles a modern young lady who lunches. It's pretty classic but there are elements of edginess showcased though different textures and colors. It's not stuffy yet can be worn for many different occasions.

The details: These round sunglasses were bought at H&M in Brussels at least 4 years ago and they continue to be in style yet remain unique. My earrings are simple gold hoops but they are a bit thicker in width. The bag is my black Miu Miu patent leather lovely and the wedges are from Target but they are dupes for Dolce Vita ones. They go with so many outfits! Last but not least-- my dress is from Target too.

Fun Fact: I don't know why I call this my 'fashion blogger' pose but I do. I think because it's a common pose, lol. It does showcase the entire outfit nicely though.  So perhaps you will see it again :)

Fun Fact: Have you noticed the large vibrant green cactus behind me? I think the green would meld nicely into this color scheme. I am inspired to try adding a few green accessories the next time I wear this look!

I hope you enjoyed!

Happy Fashions,

Graphic In Nature: Plus Size Outfit of the Day

Q: What is black and white and red all over?

A: ME! With a dash of glam...of course.

Hello! Did you guess the answer to the riddle correctly? Haha!

Are you stuck in a rut with only wearing black most days? If you answered 'YES' then this post will be very helpful to you and hopefully more inspiration to everyone who reads this!

I find the graphic undertone to this seemingly black and white outfit most interesting. As simple as the color scheme is, the clash of stripes and polka dots give the look a modern touch. They make it less precious and more modern and edgy, while still looking ladylike.

Fun Fact: This look was photographed in many locations but nothing seemed to showcase the graphic elements of this outfit until we found a strong, bold and modern background. I'm standing in front of rich brown red metal panels.

The above picture is a closeup of a sweet little hat I made. The polka dots are repeated in the skirt, only reversed.

I love vintage costume jewelry, especially from the 50's and 60s. These two little broaches are actually a pair of vintage clip on earrings that were my grandmothers. I want to wear them all the time but they are too dear to me to lose so I occasionally wear them on the collar.

Quick Fashion Tip: If you find clip on earrings that you love but they kill your earlobes wear them on your shirt collar, neckline or shirt pocket for added glam.

These leopard peep toes shoes just worked with this outfit. You could wear black shoes to match the outfit or red shoes to match the belt, however, the leopard print adds unexpected excitement.

By adding the red belt I felt that it helped the eye to better understand two incongruous prints. Also no black and white outfit is complete without a pop of color.

I hope you enjoyed! If you like my outfits please tell your friends and family about my blog and youtube channel--send them the links below. I would greatly appreciate it! Let's spread the word of fab plus size fashion!
