Fashion Week Inspired Plus Size Outfit of the Day (Editorial Edition) Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

Vintage Vantage: Southwestern Style

When I received this Tucker for Target dress for my birthday last year, I could have never imagined what an integral item it would turn out to be in my retro wardrobe. The ironic thing is that this dress is supposed to look boho chic with a blousy 70s feel to it. However, because Target does not make their 'Go International Designer for Target' range in junior plus sizes, one (meaning me), must improvise. If you are not the 'correct' number size for a garment I suggest you try it on anyways. It's true that I won't be able to squeeze into a size 2 jean but I can rock an XL especially when it's blousy.

I really love how the colors in this photo (above) work so nicely together. I think the mustard yellow wall gives an added oomph to the whole look. Also it enhances the outfit into having a vintage southwest feel.

As for my accessories, I wanted to keep them all tied into the same color spectrum of the dress. If you want to go for a retro look try and match your accessories to the colors in your outfit. It will instantly make your look a classic. However, I am not so rigid when it comes to everything looking vintage. My watch for example is for men but I love the heft of it. And all the reds don't match my lipstick exactly...I'm just not that compulsive :p 

I hope you enjoyed the photos and thanks for stopping by :)

Hi Everyone,

Do you ever see an image and think "That's the style I like!" Well this happened to me last night when I was watching Gwen Stefani's video "Cool" on youtube. It's a great song and a great video for both fashion and beautiful scenery.

Specifically I was super inspired by the natural yet retro makeup in this look so I tried to create a similar feel:

And the image below was what I tried to fashion my hair after. Her bangs/fringe are longer then mine but in person it did look similar but I find that my webcam doesn't pick up the nuances of my dark hair. So you will have to take my word for it, lol:

I do want to find a cute polka dot dress this summer but they seem to be so hard to find! So I hope you enjoy my video :)

My Very First Outfit of the Day! (Video that is...not very first outfit ever!)

Look Hot in Vintage Glam:Perfect Little Plus Size Black Dress for Date Nights or Special Ocassions

Honestly, I know how hard it can be to find a nice dress when you have an event to go to. As a plus size lady myself, it's not always easy to find something glam/retro and not have it look like my great-grandmother would wear it!!! I want sexy not dumpy. I want to be on the dance floor not in the corner.

Kiyonna is the place that I turn to for such occasions and I know you will really love what you see. I adore this dress. It's the perfect mix of vintage glam and simplicity combined. Think Marylin Monroe and Jane Mansfield combined...sexy sophistication.

I have bought quite a few items from Kiyonna and love them all. This dress is on the list to pick up. Plus it has really good customer reviews. AND it ranges from size 10-12 to a 32-34...yeah I'm serious!!! So if you or someone close to you is plus size then click on the pic below to find out more about my Little Black Dress Pick of the Day. It will save so many tears of frustration. And YOU WILL LOOK HOT!!! I'm just saying!;)
