Plus Size Office Classics: Sweater and Pencil Skirt

$
0
0
I LOVE getting dressed up in fancy dresses and wearing my high, super sparkly (and impractical) heels...but the reality is...I have a day job and can't wear most of my fun and flirty outfits to the office. Most days, I have to look professional and put my #girlboss chops to work. Anyone who has ever worked in an office knows that it's easy to get stuck in a workwear wardrobe rut. That's why I make a point to reinterpret classic combos in fresh ways. 

plus size blogger Amber from Style Plus Curves puts a twist on a classic office outfit featuring a red sweater and leopard print pencil skirt from Lane Bryant

For instance, the classic sweater and pencil skirt combo has been rocked at the office by women of all ages and sizes for decades. Many women tend to reach for solid colored bottoms and printed tops...but what if you reversed that?? I put a twist on the classic sweater and pencil skirt look by wearing this bright solid red sweater and pairing it with a leopard print pencil skirt -- both from Lane Bryant. So fresh...a little edgy...but also professional and chic!

Plus Size Holiday Style: Gold Lace Perfection by Kiyonna

Happy Holiday season! It's my favorite time of year for all things glam and sparkly and luxe, and I'm absolutely thrilled to share this Limited Edition Metallic Maven Lace Dress from Kiyonna. It hits all of the holiday style high notes for plus size gals: A-line shape to skim your hips, gathered/ruched waistband, and peek-a-boo mesh lace at the shoulders and neckline. One feature that I love is the relaxed sweatheart neckline (which doesn't come down too far) and the gathered sleeves that create a wonderful art-deco feel to the silhouette. I can't say enough fabulous things about this dress. BUY IT before it's gone!!

I saw this plus size Meow Sweater when I was at my local Torrid, and I experienced a deep primal need to own it...seriously if there were only one of these sweaters left and someone else was going for it, there might have been a serious (ahem) catfight. What's not to love? Cats? Fuzzy? White? Adorable!!! And pair it with a fab pleated plaid mini skirt and some over the knee boots, and you have an outfit to die for!

I've fully embraced the concept of winter white and have been working so hard to come up with the perfect outfit. You can't go halfway on a winter white outfit...you have to totally commit--and boy, did I ever! Once I saw this white Roaman's ankle-length faux fur coat on Fullbeauty.com, I knew there was no turning back. I had to find an outfit that stood up to this ridiculously fun coat. And what goes best with faux fur? Sequins and Peplums of course!

It's not often that I can say my outfit is comfortable, practical, WARM and stylish all at the same time...but this one is! I'm going for sleek, modern and minimalist look with this silhouette--the grey sweater tunic and black faux leather leggings have simple lines, but together have a strong graphic impact. You can tell I was totally feeling myself in this!

I'm seriously channeling my inner librarian in this preppy outfit! When I saw this Calvin Klein Red and Black Abstract Print dress at Macy's, I fell in love. The thick material was so unique...almost a damask or brocade. And it had a super interesting shape -- nipped in at the waist and arched out in a bubble. I knew that I could bring my librarian prep-look to life if I just added a bow-neck long sleeve top from Forever 21 and some black tights. Voila, today's OOTD was born!

A Luxe Date Night Look feat. Tees by Tina

Usually I laugh my size 18/20 butt off when I read the words "one size fits all," so imagine my surprise to find a label that made tops, tunics and leggings that my size 2 friend and I can both fit into! Seriously, my friend and I were wandering down the streets of Charleston and we pop into a boutique called Tina Stephens -- I didn't think for a minute that there would be anything in that store for me. But when I started talking to the sales people, they told me about their Tees by Tina line that is made out of a special stretch fabric and is intended to fit a wide range of sizes. I fell in love so hard that I bought this awesome tunic dress, a cashmere sweater (size xl) and some leggings!

I put this luxe "One Size Fits All" look together the other night for a date night out with my man and felt so sexy!

As a plus size gal, I've nearly always stayed away from white pants and white jeans because I could never find ones that were flattering, thick enough to not see my underwear through, and long enough for my 5'9 height. Once I found these skinny jeans from Woman Within on Fullbeauty.com I became a believer...and I even went so far as to embrace winter white! This look is so fresh that it reminds me of spring, even though it is toasty warm and perfect for chilly winter weather. And can we talk about this Chunky Tweed Cardigan from Roaman's -- also one of Fullbeauty.com's brands??! This dusty rose color is everything!!! This is the perfect Winter Casual Friday look!

I'm a sucker for a great sweater with a faux fur collar! This sweater from Melissa McCarthy's line Seven7 is so warm and fun...I was channeling Game of Thrones the entire time I was wearing it! I got it at Nordstrom, but it's already sold out there...you can find a white version at Macy's here or the black version at Lord & Taylor here. This was the perfect outfit to run around town in on a cold winter day!!!

#Girlboss OOTD: Standing out in Neon Yellow

Sofia Amoruso's #GIRLBOSS is full of great quotes such as "A #GIRLBOSS is in charge of her own life. She gets what she wants because she works for it." Over the past year, I've taken this attitude to heart and it has informed the way I approach my life, my career, and my wardrobe. Instead of mailing it in when I am in a rush to get ready in the morning, I take time to figure out what image I want to project at the office. I make a conscious effort not to blend in -- no one gets ahead by being invisible and keeping their head down. What's my #GIRLBOSS wardrobe recipe? Strong, classic silhouettes in bold colors like this Citron Calvin Klein Textured Sheath Dress paired with stand-out accessories like these graffiti pumps from Brian Atwood. Just be sure your hemline and neckline are not too revealing and resist the temptation to over-accessorize!

I found the most adorable plus size red peplum top at Fashion to Figure! If you haven't heard of this retailer, you need to check it out immediately. Trendy, fun pieces at truly affordable prices. It's fast fashion, so items turn over quickly and there's always something new. Like Forever 21, you'll find unique clothes that push the traditional envelope for plus size gals -- hemlines are higher, necklines are lower and prints and materials are more daring than other plus size retailers. I'm thrilled that I get to work with them on a series of 3 posts this week. And first up is the perfect cute and casual look -- a red peplum top and skinny jeans with leopard details! Perfect for Valentine's Day, but also great for all occasions throughout the year!

The peplum top fit perfectly, with a nice elbow-length sleeve and adorable bow tie. It's the perfect color red too! The Skinny Jeans are fantastic. If you're on the larger side of a 2x and usually wear a size 18, I would size up to a 20 in the pants. I wanted them to be skinny, but not too tight and the size 20 fit perfectly. And can we talk about the great patent leopard clutch and braided gold necklace? Fab accessories that really set the outfit off!

If you saw yesterday's post, you know I've been collaborating with Fashion to Figure to bring you 3 perfect transitional outfits! It's still freezing cold here in Chicago, but most of the country is starting to thaw out...and jumpsuits are perfect to transition to spring! This Black and White Wren Striped Jumpsuit from Fashion to Figure is super comfortable -- made out of a loose knit that drapes over your curves. It's sleeveless, so throw on a light layer like this Sloane Coated Blazer when you're outside...and if you get warm, just slip it off. The stripe of the jumpsuit is pretty bold, so I played it down with some ladylike accessories -- layers of pearls and this Lucian Color Block Snake Clutch took this look from playful to classy!

The day they brought the peplum back in style, was a day that will go down in plus size fashion history! I know that some of you never saw the appeal, or are perhaps sick of it already...but I am a die-hard fan! And when I see fresh and modern takes on this classic shape like this Finn Abstract Peplum Top from Fashion to Figure, my soul rejoices a little more. From the bold, colorful paint brush print to the peek-a-boo detail at the neck...this peplum top is so fresh it hurts! And when you add a little sex appeal in the form of this Kaira Faux Leather Midi Pencil Skirt and a pop of Cherry Red Prynn Patent Tote, you've got a fabulous twist on an office wear classic silhouette. I'm in LOVE!!!

How to Wear a Statement Tshirt: Notorious RBG

Plus Size Blogger Amber from Style Plus Curves in a Notorious RBG TshirtI'm so not a tshirt kind of gal, but sometimes one comes along that makes a ridiculously awesome statement and you just HAVE to have it. Case in point: this Notorious RBG tshirt from Spreadshirt. Do you have any idea how much of a badass Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg actually is? I just finished reading the BEST book called Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsberg by Irin Carmon and Shana Knizhnik. I couldn't put it down...every page revealed another fascinating and fantastic layer to RBG's unapologetic and fierce life-long fight for women and civil rights. It's a poignant and passionate glimpse into a remarkable woman and her career...and the book itself is a perfect blend of chatty insights and hardcore biographical facts. Seriously...I loved the book, and was so inspired that I HAD to have a tshirt.
