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.

Now that I live in Brooklyn, I am even more acquainted with the hipster style.

The key to the style is looking as if you could care less about fashion (even though you are decked out in Alex Wang, Rag & Bone, etc.) …Oh and it is also about looking a little bit femme scruffy.

The essentials for hipster style are: black rimmed glasses, skinny jeans, a flannel, over sized shirts/sweaters and combat boots.

Here is the recipe for the coolest Brooklyn chic outfit ever.

Step 1) The perfect pair of plus size skinny jeans

Step 2) tuck the plus size jeans into a pair of wide width combat boots

Step 3) A plus size T-shirt

There you go! You have the perfect hipster outfit.

Hi Y’all!

Beth Ditto is the lead singer for an indie band called The Gossip. While she might not be super well known (she manages to stay out of the tabloids), her style is something to take note of.

I have always admired Beth Ditto because she breaks flat out demolishes every fashion rule for plus size women. You know all those dont’s you have been told your whole life–don’t wear vertical stripes, don’t wear large prints, don’t wear skinny jeans–she gives them all the finger. As a result, her style has been noted and praised by the entire fashion community (not just the plus size industry). Even cooler: she posed nude for the cover of the avaunt guard fashion magazine, Love, and closed Jean Paul Gaultier’s latest runway show…

Her style can be characterized by bright colors and bold prints. She is also famous for wearing curve hugging plus size dresses and body suits. No matter how bold her outfit is, SHE ROCKS IT!

Next time you are at a store and shy away from a piece because it is too “loud”, just ask yourself “WWBD” (What Would Beth Do?). I bet  she would go for it and look fabulous!

I am sure you can predict my answer to the question. White after Labor Day = Fashion Forward! Remember our goal here is to break some rules.

I don’t understand where this rule ever came from. So many of the greatest things about winter are white! ie: snow, whip cream on the top of hot chocolate, Santa Clause’s beard, eggnog, etc…maybe those are random examples, but when I think of winter/holidays, I think of lots of white!

Here are my favorite white pieces that are perfect for winter:

Old Navy Womens Sequin-Stripe Cardigans
Brand: Old Navy

Perfect Plus Size White Cardigan. We have to start thinking about what to wear to holiday parties. I would bet this cardigan could be a good place to start.

Torrid Denim – White Skinny Jean (Regular)

Plus size white skinny jeans?!  Fierce.  Give me a reason not to wear these all year around.

Michael Kors Plus Size Sweater, Long sleeve, studded V Neck from Macy’s.com

LOVE! Obviously, I love the studded shoulders. Tucked into a black pencil skirt for work or worn with jeans and boots for a more casual look, this white sweater is fab.

Roamans Plus Size Colorblock Cocktail Sheath Dress (IVORY BLACK, 22 W)
Brand: OneStopPlus

This sexy plus size cocktail dress is great for holiday parties. Plus, its on sale, so we love it even more..

Feather and Chain Necklace – White

This necklace is definitely edgy, if you want to make a statement. You can dress up any plain colored shirt with this cool accessory. The chains with white feathers at the end, make this a great piece.

I hope this blog changed your mind about wearing white after labor day~
