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!

When it comes to camping, I am all grunge. Not 1993, Nirvana and flannel kind of grunge, but quite literally one large, pasty, grunge-face!

Growing up as the product of three Forest Service employees, kind of sealed my relationship with the earth before my existence was even a thought. (That’s a whole other philosophical conversation, for another time)

Camping trips for me have always been about hiking, fishing, swimming, and all things not (ever) concerned with fashion!

Until Fourth of July weekend arrived…to laugh in my face!

I planned a huge camping trip, with everyone I love, lots of beer, and one amazingly blue lake. Included in these loving people, are a few I like to call the “fabulous five.” They pack more fabulous than a barrel of monkeys and a set of pick-up-stix!

Realizing that these stunningly dressed individuals would be accompanying my camping troop, put the age-old question into mind. Can fashion and forest ever pleasantly co-exist?!

This threw me into an experimental extravaganza, to set the bar a little higher this year. Push into my own uncharted territory, with a little more umpf. Ready to find out if I could bring my own plus size fabulousness to the forest.

I must say, my practical side was incredibly incorrigible during this pre-experimental packing stage. I found a few things that meshed my two weekend ideas, but when it came down to it, I only surfaced with one proud piece. A gold and black horizontally striped plus size swimsuit that I reassembled into a bustier, square hipped retro cut.

Otherwise, I was all woods, and no wows.

I have seen that a ferocious wardrobe and a muddy camping trip can be friends. I’m just not yet the gal who’s ready to belly flop into that pool.

No, no, no…this does not mean I’m feeling defeated, either. I’ve just crawled back into research mode. Otherwise known as…the internet! Better luck next camping trip!

It’s just more fun when you’re twirling.  But not too fast, that causes dizziness.

On the radar this Thursday are three fashionable plus size must haves.  Grab these items , don’t forget to use an online coupon code to create a jaw dropping (I can’t believe I just saved that much) bargain.

Roaman’s has a 40% off coupon from your entire order found on the plus size steals site, online code RDJULY40 , you’ll use that to get this!

Roamans Plus Size Leaf Print Shift Dress

Love this dress as it’s curvy girl figure flattering.  The fabric is polyester and spandex which means it’s super comfortable.  When I purchased this, I wasn’t sure how this would feel on, but I must say it’s form fitting.  And swanky!  The raisin ivory print is a color that my closet gladly welcomes.

Next up, comfort sexy sleeping..

Angelina Cami Tap Set

I found this plus size cami set at the Hips and Curves sale page.  It’s a rare find when you have sleepwear that’s both comfortable and “visually appealing”.  The sexy part comes from softness of the fabric and the lace accents.  This Cami set lingerie, is on top of my list and is wonderful for the plus sized women.  Count how many minutes it actually stays on, let us know on Facebook.

My final Twirling Thursday pick..

Woman Within Plus Size Ultrasoft cover-up by Resorts Plus

Color!  And when Woman Within says this cover-up is soft, they mean SOFT.  The fabric is lightweight, which means it’s perfect for those really hot summer days, (which I’m not a big fan of).  Perfect for the beach, though I’m hesitant to wear it as a casual dress (maybe a little too thin).  There is no potato sack look to this cover-up.  The buyers at Woman Within are experienced and bright girls, they have a great sense of plus size women needs.  Find a Woman Within online coupon at the steals site and you’ll get this cover-up for a great price.

And now.. we continue twirling!

I’m dashing around town like I’ve just stepped into an ABBA song, and I have exactly 2 minutes and 47 seconds to find the most perfect, the most colorful, the most seductive dress for summer’s first most fun weekend. I had spent all winter then spring draped in earthy tones that at times made me wonder if I was actually turning into a Red Leaf Maple Tree. Or did I just look like one?

Four hours later, I’m slipped into a knit tank dress that felt like if the little hairs on my skin could have sex with the fibers in my gentle new dress, they so would be! And I couldn’t have been more comfortable. =)

And then…baaam! Like a blade through a grass patch. I felt the wrath of the fashion goddesses as I flip through my good friend’s camera, realizing I LOOKED LIKE A BLOATED PEACOCK!

All I knew that night was that I was having fun and I felt good, so I attempted to let all those worries about my peacock dress disappear with the sunset. As any wise woman would, I learned from my color conundrum and have moved on to sizzling new summer styles. To more ahem…flattering ones, of course.

When hurriedly shopping for bold new dresses, because you’ve been listening to 80’s music all day, and can’t simply find anything to wear to tonight’s soirée…take a friend! Good God, please take a friend!

I now know that before one dives head first into a rainbow; it’s best to peek at a color wheel, or at least the latest issue of ELLE Magazine.

Apparently, just because two or three colors were sloshed onto a cute v-neck, knee length summer dress…does not mean they compliment your skin, or your hair the same way they compliment each other.

Cue Intro:

Hello!! I’m Casey King, and I’m here to make friends with you, and talk about your fashion favorites while I share some of my secrets to wearing curves, out loud.

So, in honor of being brave and trying new colors, or accessories, or bright red lipstick…

Here are this weekend’s summer loves..

Hello yellow!

these give a whole new meaning to shoes a girl would die for…

simply can’t live without this seasons tribal colors!

To you…..and to being bold!

Ta-ta fashionistas!
