Espresso then Prosecco

Hi Lovies,

Have you ever seen an article of clothing and instantly said to yourself "this was made for me"? Like the brand or designer totally had you in mind when they made the clothing? Well that's how I felt when I came across this Graphic Tee that said "Espresso then Prosecco" on the Old Navy website. Two of my favorite things are any kind of coffee and any kind of bubbly, I mean what is life without those things, right?? I'm also a sucker for a cute graphic tee especially if the saying is relatable, like this one. I've collected quite a few over the years like this one here and here and love incorporating them into my everyday fashion. They can add a fun twist to any look and it represents your personal style.

Nontraditional Valentine's Day

Hi Lovies,

In my previous post I talked about how the color red it synonymous with Valentine's Day and incorporated that into my look. Now not everyone is into the whole red or pink colors for this day, some like to be different and change it up a bit. I know I can definitely be that girl who would rather stand out in a crowd than blend in with everyone else. So today's look is for my nontraditional gals who like to step out the box and bring a twist to their look for V'Day.

Gray Scale

Hi Lovies,

Next to the color olive, this past season gray was heavily on the fashion scene. Like I mentioned in my previous post that red was not one of my favorite colors, gray fell in that category as well. I don't know what it is but the color just reminded me of gym clothes or sweats which wasn't appealing, until I saw this midi skirt from Fashion to Figure. The gray color was such a blank canvas to create an amazing look. As you know I am a sucker for a good midi skirt, I already own two of theirs in Olive and Coral which are just amazing. The scuba material makes this warm enough to wear in the winter as well as extremely comfortable. I can't resist the flared silhouette that is so flattering as well as fun to twirl in.

Valentine's Day Red

Hi Lovies,

When it comes to Valentine's Day, the color red is highly associated with this day. Everyone want to wear this color for the day of Love. I am a girl who loves to incorporate color into her everyday looks but unfortunately red wasn't always one of the colors I gravitated too. It took me a long while to warm up to wearing it, I started out with pops of it in my accessories, like shoes or bags. Then I slowly moved into actually wearing red in my clothing. Now I take on the color red like a champ without a problem. I never realized how powerful this color was and how it made me feel when I wore it. Wearing this Shirt Dress was definitely one of those moments, it immediately commanded attention. I loved that it had black pinstripes for a menswear feel as well as adding some contrast to the bold color. With it's classic and sophisticated look, this dress can be worn for work or for Valentine's Day with your special someone.

Denim Jumper

Hi Lovies,

When I think of a jumper, they immediately take me back to my childhood. My mom use to dress me in all different styles and colors of jumpers. Now that I am a grown woman, I am definitely not looking at them in the same way. Now they are more of a fashion statement or fun trend that I like to indulge in once in a while. This Denim Jumper from City Chic via Gwynnie Bee was right up my alley being how obsessed I am with denim dresses. The fact that this one was a jumper style made it ever more appealing. Not to mention the 90's feel it was giving me with the zipper detail in the front and patch pockets. I couldn't add this dress to my GB closet any faster. If you don't know what Gwynnie Bee is, check out my post here about them.

Best Fitting Pant Ever

Hi Lovies,

Last month my favorite brand Eloquii asked me to be a part of a campaign they were doing to showcase their signature #1 best selling Kady Pant. Now you guys already know how near and dear these pants are to me. I own several pairs and I wear them all the time, they are my go to pant for work. I was even a part of a video they did over a year ago talking about why I love the Kady Pant so much. This time around, they wanted to showcase a few customers and bloggers of different body shapes and sizes in the pant. So that their customers could see how versatile and size inclusive these pants are. With sizes from 14-28, as well as coming in short, regular, tall and their new Viola fit, they literally are the best fitting pant ever.

Not Just For The Holidays

Hi Lovies,

I don't know about you but just because the holidays are over doesn't mean that I won't wear clothes that are "holidaesque". This holiday season went by in such a flash and there were just some things I never got around to wearing. The folks at Dia & Co. sent me a holiday box as a gift with some really great pieces, some of which never made it's debut. Dia &Co. is an online personal styling service for plus size women (sizes 14-32). You get a curated box of clothing put together by one of their amazing stylist. I totally love this service, first off because it makes me feel special, like if I was a celebrity and had my own stylist. Secondly and my favorite thing, is that there is no commitment of a monthly fee, you can request a box whenever you need or want one. Just pay the $20 styling fee which in turn gets credited back to you if you purchase anything from your box. Can't beat that with a baseball bat! Check out some of the other perks!

• A dedicated personal stylist
• Convenient home try-on
• Free shipping both ways
• $20 credit toward what you keep
• Free and unlimited size exchanges
• 20% off your purchase when you buy everything

Have You Met Allie?

Hi Lovies,

Lane Bryant has a new girl in town and her name is Allie. It's their new universal fit pant which means that women of any size or body shape will look good in these pants. With their fit revolution technology and advanced waistband construction making these one of the most comfiest pants. They are made of a stretchy material that hugs the body from waist to knee and flares out at the hem. Offering sizes from 16-28 in short, regular and tall is such a great thing that LB decided to do, making this pant available to almost everyone. While a Boot Cut is not my normal style of pants, I prefer a more skinny fit, I could easily see myself wearing these for work, dressed up or down, there's a lot you can do with this pant.

Plus Size Remix: My Small Wardrobe

Hi Lovies,

Welcome back to another edition of the Plus Size Remix, the first for 2017. As I stated in my round up post, I will be definitely trying to get one of these out every month. If this is your first time to the blog, PSR is a monthly feature where I take a look that inspires me and remix it into a plus size version. If you missed any of my previous PSR, head over my Pinterest board to catch up. This month's inspiration came from someone that I have been following for a while and totally admire, Carelia of My Small Wardrobe. I just adore her style, she loves mixing vintage garments with contemporary and classic pieces. Her looks are eccentric, funky and fun, plus I love what she stands for. Her goal is to encourage women regardless of size, age or body type to #DressFun. Not to mention she's a fellow Latina and is representing the fabulous 40 and over club. Yassss!
