Kiyonna is rocking the dresses this month with dresses like the Cynthia Twist Dress. I love the pattern and the style — just enough arm coverage and not too much cleavage. If you visit the Kiyonna website you’ll see bodies other than model Ashley Graham (below) wearing it — in other words, it looks good on many types. It is available in sizes 1x to 5x for $108 U.S.

Orange and me have a love hate relationship. I love it, it hates me — the color just doesn’t suit me.
But that doesn’t stop me from pining for it. Like this fiesta orange Fortuna Dress ($98) from Igigi.
I love this dress. It’s flirty without being sleazy. It also comes in turquoise which is equally as awesome. I want the yellow bag and shoes to go with it too!
Orange you glad I didn’t say banana?

I’m so in love with Igigi this week. They recently released the Chic Power Dress shown below — I swear it is my absolute favorite work/day dress style they have released. I love the draped sleeves with cute little pleats at the shoulders, the flared skirt with flat pockets and it comes with the wide Obi belt so there are two looks off the bat. The only downside is the dry clean only.
To change the look up even more there’s the Patrizia Cardigan in Chocolate which works perfectly with the colors of the dress and is versatile enough to be worn with pretty much anything else in our wardrobes. The dress and cardigan comes in sizes 12 to 32. The dress costs $108 and the cardigan costs $68. I’m totally digging those shoes too!

I’m totally in love with this Exceptional Ruffle Dress from Igigi. Yes, they are so fond of it they called it Exceptional. It is available in sizes 12 to 32 for $118.
Why do I love this dress? Let me count the ways… The petite ruffles are right on trend. They are not overpowering and add a bit of depth without going crazy on volume. The billowy cuffed sleeves are a nice departure from the flared breezy sleeves. It’s fully lined (and Igigi does an excellent job on their dress linings) so there are no worries about it riding or the unmentionables being visible.
It’s a perfect career dress!

Every week for the last five years I have been sharing my favorite things over at PlusShe.com. Once day a loyal reader let me know how disappointed she was she could not make a purchase at one of the places I mentioned because they did not deliver to Canada. I then realized how important a sister site was so PlusShe.ca was born.
Here are some Canadian shops and shops outside Canada to get you started. Be sure to sign up for my daily updates.
