$75 Convertible Dress

Do you like rose pink? Plus size designer Monif C has their rose pink convertible dress on for $75 which is a huge savings for a dress which normally sells for $195. It’s a change of season so they are clearing out old colors to make room for new ones.

Haven’t heard of the convertible dress. Well this dress, also tagged the Marilyn dress (think Seven Year Itch), is a marvel for plus size dresses. This dress is good for a club, wedding, party, or cruisewear. with over twenty different looks I’m sure you can think of more.

This is one of Monif C’s hottest products and I wouldn’t be surprised if this is what she’ll be known for for the next few years. Every season they come out with fabulous colors and a few basics. It fits sizes 8 – 24.

Purple and Grey Shirt Dress

MightayMightay over at Brickhouse (MultiCultural Fashion) refreshed my thinking of the importance of the power color, purple. It’s always been one of my favorite colors. I call it a power color because in New Age medicine it’s used to represent one of the seven chackras, specifically in the brow area (#6) which is often called the third eye. This chakra focuses on things like intuition, peace, and spirituality. Things we all could use a little more of.

It is with great pleasure that I share with you this Prep Shirt Dress from plus size clothing retailer, Kiyonna. It comes in size 0x – 5x for $164. The power career dress.

My favorite features besides the purple block color (that goes excellently with grey)?

The high waist
The button front cleavage
The ruffled collar
And the tailored hem with godets

Sweet! I love these little attentions to detail that bring together a great looking dress.

So tomorrow when you are going through your closet trying to decide on something to wear. Go purple and spend the day unlocking your intuition and inner peace as you reflect it back to others. Too hokey for a Tuesday?

Women’s Cage Shoes

In the long list of impractical shoes, these are are probably near the top. But I can’t help it. They are so darn pretty and would make an excellent holiday shoe. And as you might remember I have a thing for Carlos Santana shoes, which these are.

These shoes are suitably titled “women’s cage”. They also come in black and are available from shoe.com in sizes 5.5 – 8.5 (sizes 6 – 10 in black) for $59.90 (regular $99).

Beauty Fix No. 1 – NOC-Out Cover-Up Compact

Of the nine items in my Beauty Fix kit I think Redpoint’s NOC-Out Cover-Up Compact was at the top of list of products I was really excited about trying.

The Beauty Fix kit offers a full size product to try which is valued at $38. It works from the concept that all skin issues can not be covered up with one color. The goal of this tri-color compact is to “neutralize, obliterate and conceal” all the things we like to camouflage. Say good-bye to dark circles under the eyes, blemishes, veins, freckles and more.

The color breakdown:

Yellow = redness, blemishes
Peach = dark circles
Salmon = sun spots, veins and dark discolorations

The compact is made of pretty red tin with a clear mirror and a generous amount of concealers inside. On the bottom of the compact is a little diagram to help users remember what each color is for. I found the yellow and peach work exceptionally (I didn’t have an opportunity to use the salmon) well in terms of blending and cover-up but for long term wear it failed somewhat for extra long days by building up in creases. So if you are wanting to go from work out-and-about, no. But if you are able to do a touch in between, then go for it. What would have really made this test perfect for me would have been if the compact came with Redpoint’s camouflage brush. Half the battle is the tools.

Depending on your perceived ailments you could end up using more of one than another so I’m not really sure how economical this is but I definitely think it’s worth trying at least once.

The Twilight Craze

Yes, it’s true, plus size people (young and older) have joined in on the Twilight book and movie craze. It really is a craze isn’t it? Plus size clothing retailer Torrid has made it possible for you to choose your team and express it on your body without getting a tattoo. Here are three of my favorite Twilight clothing options for plus size chics:

The t-shirts are available in sizes 0X – 5X for $28. If these two are not your style they also have a couple pictorial ones featuring Edward and/or Bella as well as a Twilight hoodie.

If you were admiring the jewelry from the Twilight movie then Torrid also has a few replications for adoring fans. Alice’s ribbon choker, Esme’s cuff bracelet, Rosalie’s choker and Carlisle’s Crest Ring ($19.99 each):
