All dressed up

Felt like putting a little more effort into getting dressed today than I have been lately. Having a newborn makes it hard to put that much time into it but the husband was home to help with the little one. I apologize in advance for the photo quality. I didn't have the best lighting. Anyway I feel totally 80's in this outfit but that's okay because I am totally 80's. The jacket is from torrid. The dress is from a little store in Montebello CA called Fashion Q Plus. Wish they had a website but I'm afraid they're not that high tech yet. The leggings & necklace are from New York & Company & the flats are from (of all places) Wal-mart. Sent from Yahoo!

The maxi dress

If there's one item every plus size lady needs in her wardrobe (other than a slimmer) the maxi dress is it. The maxi dress is a great way to get a soft feminine yet glamorous look without trying to hard. Not to mention a maxi dress is flattering on just about everyone, what a great way to accentuate your curves.

Here are a few of my favorites and several variety's.

This is a great summer maxi dress, perfect for a sunny day on the beach $39.99 at www.onestopplus.com
