Home For The Holidays With Lane Bryant

Happy Hump Day all!

Visiting my family during the holidays is something I always look forward to.  We spend the holiday relaxing and spending quality time with one another.  This year my sister suggested that we go out for Christmas dinner.  We have been talking about doing this for awhile but never got around going out.  My sister lives right outside NYC so we have plenty of restaurant options to choose from.  Since we’ve decided to go out for Christmas dinner I’ve decided to dress up for the occasion.  Instead of going with some red and green ensemble, I’ve decided to wear this leopard print Lane Bryant set.  While it’s an unconventional choice, it’s a sleek and festive alternative to wearing an ugly Christmas sweater!

Have a wonderful day!

Thanks to Lane Bryant for partnering with me on this post.

Fall Ready With Stitch Fix

Happy Hump Day!

I am a firm believer that clothes are an expression of who you are. Clothing can lift your mood and change how you view yourself.  For some of us, this personal expression can take a backseat to other important things going on in our lives.  This is where Stitch Fix comes in.  Stitch Fix is a  personal style service that caters to your style, shape and budget.  Stitch Fix stylists comb through brands such as Eloquii, NYDJ and many others to find clothing tailored for you.  How you may ask? Stitch Fix employs a lengthy questionnaire to determine your style profile and budget preferences.  They offer clothing, shoes & accessories from $28-298 so there is something for everyone at every price point.    Typically personal style services ask a few questions then it’s up to the stylist to kind of guess what works for you. Not Stitch Fix. They test their items on real women to understand how each item of clothing will fit on real bodies. Stitch Fix carries clothing from 0-24W  and includes petites and maternity styles up to a 3X.  Stitch Fix is not a subscription based service. You can cancel at anytime without penalty.  Returns are free and each box includes a pre-paid USPS envelope to return your item.   You only pay a $20 curating fee that is applied towards the items you choose to keep. If you decide to keep everything in your box you get a 25% discount (awesome!)

For my first Stitch Fix box I wanted items that will transfer easily from Fall to Winter. I focused on cozy sweaters and blazers for layering.  I received a v-neck sweater, a cozy cardigan, a plaid shirt & the blazer in the pictures below.  Honestly my box was spot on (check out my Instagram stories for the 411 on my box!).  Many of the pieces I could easily interchange with items that are already in my closet. To be honest the only thing that didn’t work for me is the plaid shirt.  The cardigan is being returned because I already have a similar color in my closet.  Otherwise I would have kept the cardigan. I was very impressed with my first Fix and I highly recommend you give Stitch Fix a try. Click here to get your Fix on!

Have a wonderful day!

Strong Suited

Happy Tuesday all!

Over this past weekend I started transitioning my wardrobe from Summer to Fall/Winter. While I was sad to see a lot of my Summer pieces go into storage, I was comforted by the fact that I can transition many of them into the Fall.  Im proud of the fact that the  majority of my clothes are multi-seasonal.  Before I buy anything, my rule of thumb is that I have to be able to wear that item at least for two seasons.  It’s important for me to get as much wear out of my wardrobe as I can.  For example, this pink Lane Bryant suit I first wore back in February . While the suit is primarily  for the Spring I paired it with a  stripe turtleneck and a pair of sneakers to make it more Fall friendly.   To make it stretch into the Winter, I’m going to add a layer a pair of tights underneath to ward off the cold and ankle boots.  To make it even more versatile for the upcoming Holiday season, I think  wearing it with a satin  blouse, velvet clutch and gold pumps would make a colorful office party look.

I hope these suggestions will help you transition your Spring/Summer suit into the colder months.

Have a wonderful day!

Summer Flora

Happy Monday all!

I’ve always been wary of floral print jumpsuits.  Floral prints have always been a sore spot for plus size women.  We have a bad history of ugly, garish  prints being pushed down our throats. Due to that history, many of us don’t even want try floral print garments.  I know I’ve struggled with floral prints but as time has gone on, they’ve definitely gotten better.  Last year I bought my first floral jumpsuit from Old Navy but since then I haven’t found another like that one until now.  This Lane Bryant jumpsuit is apart of their Roma Flora Fast Lane collection.  Fast Lane is a limited collection that features on trend items separate from Lane Bryant’s usual offerings.  The clothing is bold, colorful and fun.  This jumpsuit embodies all of those qualities.  Not only does it look good, it fits wonderfully.  I love wide leg pants so this was a plus.  Also as someone who is a bit tall, it was great to find a jumpsuit that doesn’t cut off at my ankles. I absolutely love this jumpsuit and can’t wait to wear it during my upcoming trip to Miami. Unfortunately it’s sold out but I linked some below that are just as cute.

Are you a fan of printed jumpsuits?

Have a wonderful day!

Spring Refresh With Lane Bryant

Happy Monday all!

Spring is universally known as a time for renewal.  It’s the perfect time to add pieces to your wardrobe that can refresh your personal style.  It’s always fun to experiment with different prints and shapes.  This Spring I wanted to give a jogger pants a whirl.  I’ve seen them forever but shied away from them because I didn’t think they would flatter my figure.  Despite my reservations, something about these Lane Bryant joggers drew me in so I decided to give them a try.  Needless to say they are very flattering and the print was just as vibrant as shown on Lane Bryant’s site.  They are also super comfortable which is a huge plus for me.  Y’all know I love mixing prints so this Lane Bryant stripe blazer was the perfect compliment to the pants.

Since these joggers were a success I have my eye another pair (here) to add to my Spring/Summer wardrobe. What item or items are you going to try this Spring to refresh your wardrobe?

Have a wonderful day!

Lane Bryant gifted me the blazer and pants. Opinions expressed are all my own.
