Boy Sweatshirt and Skirt Combo

Wearing: Forever 21 + sweatshirt & hat, Old Navy skirt, Nine West booties, ASOS clutch

Is it just me or has Forever 21 + been having some super fly clothes lately? I am always a fan of the price point but they seem to be having a plus size option for everything I am looking for. I saw this Boy sweatshirt and fell in love! I paired with one of my favorite wrap mini skirts and my fall favorite brown lace up ankle boots.

P.S  I am soooooo happy its beanie season again... you may be seeing my collection very soon !

Simply Be Motorcycle Jacket !

Wearing: Simply Be moto jacket, Old Navy shift ( last year), and Topshop boots 

Anyone who knows me or reads my blog knows that I am a sucker for a moto jacket. I love them in all colors and materials but the classic leather style is my ULTIMATE must have. When I got this in the mail from Simply Be I of course had to wear it right away. I decided to break out one of my favorite bold pink shifts that I got last year. I added an extra personal flair by pairing with a matching ankle sock... which is always a favorite of mine as we transition to fall.

Leather Cap & Plaid

Wearing: Old Navy dress, Target plaid, Topshop shoes, ASOS hat

So this is totally my 90s throwback look. I have been loving the idea of cambat-esque boots with a classic plaid tied around the waist. The plaid becomes an interesting focal point accessory to the somewhat bland solid color dress. I have definitely been loving my leather cap, I never thought I would love the look of a hat like this before ... thank you Herve Leger F2013 runway !

Simply Be Look #2: Work Vibe

Wearing : All clothing Simply Be except for accessories ( Fashion to Figure necklace, F21 shoes) , Top , Pants 

I have said this before and I will say it again I am a sucker for a good printed pant ! These Simply Be ones fit perfect at a size 18 and are soo comfortable ( thanks to the elastic waistband back). Here I have paired the statement pants with a more down played blouse.

Yellow was everywhere during last year's Spring 2013 runway shows (I'm still obsessing over Louis Vuitton’s yellow-and-white checkerboard looks). Since winter's dragging and I'm longing for a little sunshine, the hue acts a simple mood-booster and a constant reminder that spring is around the corner. You can find this season's yellow pieces in shades ranging from a light and creamy to bold and neon, all of which look amazing as outfit accents or a look's whole focal point.

At left, I am wearing a canary-colored dress I picked up a few months ago at Old Navy. And while the color looks great paired with classic black, it works just as well against navy. Tip: for a bolder look, try pairing your favorite yellow piece with a black and white striped one for the ultimate Spring 2013 combo.

I have been obsessed with adding studs to things for quite some time now. While going through my closet today I ran across this studded DIY project gem. I love mixing together textures and prints that don't make sense, this is one of my fav outfits used with the jacket yet!

Wearing: Cambridge satchel bag, Old Navy pants, Vintage blazer and top, Gap shoes, Forever 21 shoes

Forget what those old-fogy magazines tell you: Just because printed pants are "busy" doesn't mean they're off-limits for plus-size women. It you feel good, you'll look good! Wear them with a neutral button-up or t-shirt, and add a blazer and platforms to make it feel a little more special.
