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!

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 :)
