A memory foam mattress & duct tape! That sums up the extent of my fashion in the Winter. When you live in the snow, “looking cute” is not something you attempt first thing in the morning. From the time you wake up to the point you hit your doorstep for work, there is a good chance the clouds just dumped 6 inches all over your driveway. Your stylish threads morph into exercise attire by the end of your snow shovelin’ workout.

Last year I spent the Winter looking like Randy from “A Christmas Story.”

So this year, I vow to find funky & functional Winter wear to add to my plus size wardrobe. With the holidays running up on us, there are plenty of sales headed your way. Signed, sealed, and delivered from your favorite plus size fashion shops! So let’s shop….

Sweater dresses, cardigan sweaters, pull-over sweaters, sweater tunics…I’m thinking warm & cozy this Winter.

And some great boots to go with this sweater! Ahem…and 50% off now!

Come closer. Closer…I have a little secret for you. You can top these sales off with even more savings with this One Stop Plus Size Clothing Coupon. 

Enjoy!

The minute that I heard Kate Middleton was “bringing back hose,” I wanted to kiss her royal feet. I don’t know about you, but pantyhose should be every plus size woman’s best friend. It’s my go-to fix for smooth curves, and legs.

I’m not going to force feed you all one hundred reasons why I adore this (apparently) outdated accessory. I will say, though, I’m pretty sure my eye and my thighs have fallen in love with this season’s tights. A more modern cousin to the pantyhose. Not to mention, way more spicy. Poppin’ up in every color imaginable, they are my must have, absolutely need, gonna get 12 pairs…Fall accessory. Just sayin’. Heh heh.

I think I just spent two hours fishing the web for plus size tights. Phew. Imagine sliding an Art History book into your fingers, now close your eyes, and open to any one of the pages. That’s what it’s like! There are tights available in any print imaginable! Okay, okay…I’ll stop ranting, and just show you my favorites!

 See what I’m sayin’? That’s purple leaf print. Dreamy.

The white is much more elegant, but still unique. I must say, Torrid’s plus sizes are always paired with the best shoes! These tights look great with an oxford, or even Fall’s hottest footwear…the bootie!

I love the color mustard. It can be difficult to pair with if you aren’t accustomed to bright tights. Think earthy neutrals! I would love these with a tan or camel brown wedge.  Always remember…chic must be comfortable! :0]

I vowed to die of embarrassment if I ever wore these boots in public. Calf height suede, no heel, over poofed in fur with a beaded design on the toes. So much faux fur! It looks like I just slipped my feet into two foxes and started walking!

 Some people call them “mukluks,” but honey I’ve seen mukluks. They don’t have to look like this.

So they became my comfy lounge boots for lazy days at home. Cozy little pillows for my feet. My new winter slippers. Then, one day…I did a silly little thing. It all started with a trip to the bank, then the grocery store…it was all over from there. I got way too comfy.

This year, I’m doing it right. Getting my boots before winter is on the crawl. And I mean cute boots! From trustworthy plus-size stores! I’ve already found a few favorites…

Remember, it’s still Fall!  You can get away with light colors for a while longer. Torrid, the wonderful plus-size shop, has some of my favorite finds this season!

Think of spicy red to pair with neutrals.  Next time you slip into curvy black leggings, try a bright ankle boot!

Knee boots are hot, hot, hot this Fall-Winter. I’ve seen them gracing the runways of  Michael Kors, most recently.

A great way to keep your legs warm and add a lot of character to your outfit!

To warm feet & stylish boots! Ta-ta

It has recently been told that Mister Marc Jacobs himself, is popping up with a plus size fashion line. In the midst of Fall shopping, I automatically went into a day dream comatose when I heard the word. My fandom crossed all sorts of double yellow lines. I saw myself stooped outside his New York doorstep. Hot chocolate in one hand. My life savings in the other. All the while freezing to death as I wait for the gem of all winter dream coats.

Then I slapped myself out of it.

See…there are some “knock em’ dead” trends for every season. Then there are the necessities. Then there is…thee coat!

If done correctly, your Fall-Winter coat is that swirl of frosting on top of one perfect outfit. Like being wrapped in a warm, fuzzy cloud, with delicious written all over it.

As much as I would fully commit to saving myself for anything plus size from Marc Jacobs…I think it’s wise to pick up a cozy new coat for the chills to come. Plus, there are some seriously funky and fun coat trends this season!

Let’s see what I found! ;]

Leather! This Fall, it is the hottest trend among jackets and coats. Definitely turning heads. Especially when worn the right way! Wear it right above your hips, to make those curves pop. Or wear it long. Think leather trench coat. Any plus size jacket can be worn at mid-hip length. As long as the coat tapers at your waist, still defining your shape.

Bold colors have made their entrance, and I have yet to see a bon voyage on the horizon. Just make sure to sport colors that flatter your skin tone, and your mood!

At ease, miss!

Every year military jackets are hot, hot, hot. This run around, you are bound to ditch the soldier, and just run away with the coat. 

The long. The mod. And neutral enough for every outfit…ta da! My favorite coat this year!

A must have!

Somewhere between trench coat, and jacket. This plus size coat rides the lines. It’s ready for any occasion, and just looks so cozy!
Woman to woman. No way could I have afforded this dream coat without this OneStopPlus.com coupon. And no way could I possibly not share it with you ladies!

Labor Day is a day to celebrate you! A thanks for all the hard work you’ve contributed to this land. Maybe you’re setting up for a barbecue with the family. Enjoying a last summer swim with friends. Maybe you’re simply relaxing.

However you may find pleasure in this 3-day weekend, you deserve it!

I’m personally indulging in some special Labor Day deals to add to my breathe easy day. The plus size retail world is rewarding us with killer sales, and today is our last chance to swoop those steals!

We all have guilty pleasures. There is no denying that!

Seeing as I’m home bound these days, getting life in order for a two month train trip all about the West coast. I’ve found a little freedom from thought inside the world of my Netflix queue. Lately, my guilty pleasure has been all wrapped up in this t.v. show called, “Drop Dead Diva.” A very girly, a very silly show, that I wouldn’t normally indulge in. Yet, I am hooked on the main character, “Jane Bingum,” and her style!  A fierce plus size woman, that incorporates classic career wear with eye popping accessories and does it oh, so, very well.

 (Brooke Elliott as “Jane Bingum”)

Jane, like myself, knows a good thing when she sees it. The figure flattering sheath dress in plus sizes, doesn’t fall short of that list. A major must have trend for Fall 2011!  Sheath dresses are made with the hour glass figure in mind, but don’t let that deter you. I just love this dress when paired with a belt, to bring attention to all different shaped waists.

There is one rule in the fashion of our lives. Never say never to something you love! Instead, find a way to tweak it so it works for you, and then flaunt it! Anything is possible with a little creativity.

That’s the fun part with this dress trend. You can take a well cut plus size sheath dress, and either wear it alone, or stir up your look with a neutral jacket or cardigan, an smaller purse,  maybe a clutch. Then  dazzle your way up with a few jewels. Wa-la!

This slimming dress is one of those crucial pieces in any plus size woman’s wardrobe. When you’re feeling classic, you can snatch a vintage clutch and some pearls, keeping it simple! Dinner party, the office, a work function, girl’s night out. I just love how versatile this plus size fashion favorite is! I actually picked up my own sheath dress recently. No way could I resist slipping into it for a few photos. This one’s a keeper!

 I’ve been picking up great fall dresses with these new coupons!

Don’t you just melt when your eyes stretch into the window of gleaming boutique, and as you enter, you fall head over heels in love with that piece?

That one dress, tunic top, or skirt that reaches out and clutches your sight with every fiber. As your fingers clip through each version of your meant-to-be outfit, you suddenly fall weak when…when…it doesn’t come in my size?!?!  You spin around, breathe back the angst, and jet your tush outta that joint.

Heartbreak is not worth waiting around for..

As far as these clothing company’s claiming they do not harbor the clientele for plus sizes. Pfft!

Lies, lies, lies, from the mouth of a two headed bad business dragon!

The more important question: where are all the flattering fashions for curvy women?!? Do manufactures have a super secretive chart that determines once you’re over a size 8, you must be a 65 year old woman who wears visors, and likes flower print?

Full figured individuals make up something around 60 percent of our population. A little over half of those are women. Women who have taste, money, and love for the body we want to dress in fabulous threads.

Part of me realizes that we are amid a revolution of larger women that just want the same freedom to express themselves through fashion. This takes time, and a lot of effort on our part. I say no excuses though! No excuses should be warranted by an industry that was designed around the idea of pleasing the consumer. When we are so not pleased with our options.

So, for my love of socially responsible companies that produce well made plus size clothing at a reasonable price; I want to spotlight those that are trying! Through them, we will grow, and if we keep raising our voices, other designers will follow!

My personal favorites…

Torrid! For the edgier curves…and in honor of expression.

Michael Kors! (Sometimes found at TjMaxx, and other discount stores) Because I have never found better fitting pants, and career wear.

Lane Bryant! More fashionable fits for the misses, and more color than I have ever seen in one retail shop!

SWAK Designs…really needs no explanation. Please just hit their website immediately!

Check out others like: IGIGI, for the fancy, and Avenue/Jessica London, Woman Within, Roamans, and Evan’s (sooo hot!)
