Polka Dot Accents

Polka Dot Accents

It is no surprise to you (or at least it shouldn’t be) that I love polka dots. Even better is when a piece of clothing is accented with them. Like this lovely dress from plus size dress giant Igigi. This flowy dress is a poly/spandex blend and it has bra-friendly straps that can take...

Smocked Summer Cardigan

Smocked Summer Cardigan

I was all set to talk about the days of summer and how they deserved a cotton shirt like the red cotton one I found in clearance at Catherines. I was going to talk about how it seems the older I get the less I care about how bare my arms are. And how...

Two Piece Skirtini

Two Piece Skirtini

Wearing a bathing is so much simpler than when I was a kid. I remember struggling to get into my one piece to get the straps up and over my shoulders. These days the two pieces not only are easier to get into but they can provide the coverage and functionality some women long...

Red Espadrilles

Red Espadrilles

I love espadrilles in summer. This pair of Corso Como Women’s Roz Espadrille. The traditional jute looking heel, the open pattern and of course… RED! I’m new to Corso Como but apparently they are on the eco-friendly bandwagon toting that “all shoes are made in eco-friendly factories using naturally tanned leathers and recyclable boxes...

Cool and Breezy

Cool and Breezy

I so need cool and breezy today. I feel a little more comfortable just looking at this summery dress from Jessica London. It’s listed as a coverup but I think it’s a perfectly acceptable sun dress for an afternoon brunch with friends or family. It’s made with soft loop terry which isn’t necessarily cool...

Seductively Cool Pink

Seductively Cool Pink

Baby dolls are definitely a “cool” item for summer whether you have a partner or not (they weren’t just designed for the opposite sex). It’s a time to put away the flannels and t-shirts and play a little. Plus size lingerie retailer Hips and Curves unveiled this little cutie this week. This Smocked Mess...

A Splash of Color

A Splash of Color

It’s amazing what a splash of color can do for black. The accent on this dress from plus size clothing retailer Zaftique pops. It’s also a great summer color (the purple). It is still incredibly hot and humid here so this is going to be as dressy as I get this week. The rest...

  • A Cut Above
    I love to watch television shows that have extreme transformations like the ones seen on America's Next Top model, when they totally change the look of the model with a haircut or color. I do not however like "makeover" shows or even the term as they suggest that something was wrong with... […]
  • Miss Representation
    The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) has been airing a documentary by Jennifer Siebel Newsom called Miss Representation. The title is an interesting play on words. If you get the chance I highly recommend watching the 90 minute documentary that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last year which... […]
  • Weight Bullying
    It is not o.k. to bully someone about their weight and then try to cushion it with "I am telling you this because I care" or the multitude of other passive-aggressive comments that come from friends, family, and my personal favorite strangers who are driven by stereotypes of being fat and decades of […]
