Lola & Gigi Summer Sale

plus size silk tunic from Anna Scholz

It is a perfect time to shop at Lola & Gigi if you have been hemming and hawing about the “price” of designer fashions by Monif C, Melissa Masse and Anna Scholz. There is a select group of fashions that are now up to 50% off. And you can get them all at one place!

The Anna Scholz Crepe de Chine Kaftan is a lovely change to the traditionally horizontal stripes with multiple bold colors and a bit of wave. I also like the side splits which make longer tunic tops feel less constricting and breaks up pattern. It is currently 40% off at $234.99.

The Melissa Masse Josephine Dress is sexy short without being overtly exposed on top. The slightly puffed shoulders and surplice breast are subtle details that give a lovely shape. If you have the legs it is a great show piece for highlighting them. Or if you prefer, some stunning leggings from We Love Colors. This little dark dress is 50% off at $124.99.

The Monif C Marilyn Convertible Dress is probably the best investments that any woman can make. It is a short dress — actually it is over ten short dresses, it also works as a great convertible top with leggings or jeans if hiked up under breasts instead of at waist, then wrapped. It is currently 30% off and because it is a one size fits 8 to 24 you do not have to be disappointed about your size being sold out like some of the other items.

These are just three of my favorite sale items at Lola & Gigi (there are many more). These plus size designer styles are going fast (as I was writing this post one item completely disappeared)!

It’s a Maxi Mac Spring

plus size jersey maxi dress and yellow frill mac from Anna Scholz

I love this Print Jersey Pleat Maxi Dress from Anna Scholz and I love this Frill Mac also from Anna Scholz. They scream “SPRING!” at me when I see them. You can’t a hotter color than the “lumo” yellow along with the frills, bell sleeves and a-line take this trench from boring to exciting. I’m not a huge print legging fan but this jacket makes me want to wear them. It’s practically a trench dress, except nicer.

Funky Pattern Dress

plus size patterned maxi dress from Anna Scholz

I’m not a funky person but I love this funky patterned maxi dress from Anna Scholz. This isn’t just another maxi dress you buy and stuff in your closet. At £449 this is an investment dress that you love and make a point of wearing often. I love the contrasting black lapel collar and alternate pattern sash. The dress looks feminine and easy as is for a comfortable day with sandals or when it’s a little brisk with black / gray tights and a long sleeve black micro shirt underneath and your favorite boots.

The Difference a Model Makes

Plus Size Print Jersey Dress from Anna Scholz

I was looking at the new arrivals at Anna Scholz’s official website and I realized how much I dislike her clothing… at least until I was able to see them on a body… then I fell in love. Tricked ya!

One of the things I like about Anna Scholz website is you get to see all of her pieces with and without a model. But what really makes me like a piece is seeing how it is styled on a model. There’s something about flesh, hair, and coordinating bits that really bring it home for me.

Take these examples for instance. I would never considering buying these pieces had I only seen them in the images on the left. It’s not that the pictures are bad or anything like that. The images on the right give the clothing some perspective and definitely make these pieces favorites I would want to buy:

Print Jersey Belt Shirt Dress, £125
I love this belted shirt with the leggings and orange pumps!

Jersey and Silk Fringe Top, £89
I love this unusual top paired with jeans and boots!

Plus Size Silk Fringe Top from Anna Scholz

Digital Jersey Pleat Dress, £269
Ok, there isn’t much styling other than nude pumps here but the body brings the cut and pleats to life!

Crepe Jersey Sequin Sleeve, £165
Actually, this one not so much but I loved it so much I had to show it!

How about you? How important is product display for you? Do you prefer a model? No model? Or both?

Silk Kaftans

Plus Size Print Tunic

You know how some people dislike the word “fat” as a descriptive and others are proud of it? Well, I dislike the word “kaftan”. Anna Scholz on the other hand has been using it for a few years and yes I’ve been incredibly resistant to it. But today I was thinking it may be a culture thing. Or perhaps she is trying to reclaim the word and make it something positive. Regardless these are NOT the kaftans your great auntie used to wear.

I love the wistful patterns on these silk tunics (see, I still have a hard time with the word) from Anna Scholz new looks for spring. LOVE THEM! The top on the left is the Silk Habotai Gathered Neck Kaftan from Anna’s White Label and is available in sizes 18 to 24 for £265. The top on the right is the Silk Georgette Square Tie Kaftan and is also from Anna’s White Label. It is available in sizes 16 to 26 for £190.

As you can see from the images the tops can be easily dressed up or dressed down depending on what you pair them with.
