Pleated Dress

Pleated Dress

I love this Andrea 2 in 1 Dress from SwakDesigns. The title is a bit misleading because there is only one dress. What they are referring to is that it looks like two pieces instead of one — sort of. Doesn’t matter. What I love is the pleats. This is a great career dress...

Plus Size Sweaters

Plus Size Sweaters

There isn’t a written rule that sweaters have to be chunky. Well, if you are out cross country skiing you might want a chunky one. But for work or for lunch out with friends chunky is a bit overdone.  Here are a few of my favorite romantic sweaters on sale at plus size clothing...

Kit Shopping at Kaliyana

Kit Shopping at Kaliyana

Kit shopping is not a new concept but in my experience it has usually involved a lot of cheap jersey knit material that isn’t overly fashionable nor flattering. If you are not familiar with kit shopping it’s a concept of buying a kit of a select number of pieces that are designed to give...

Fooler Shirts

Fooler Shirts

A fooler shirt is a top that looks like one top layered over another but it fact it is one. One of the things I like about fooler tops, especially for plus size women, is that it reduces the bulk of wearing two tops by getting rid of excess material where the two fabrics...
