The Cowl Neck Top ($125): I love the color blocking and the bright block of blue with a subtle cowl neck.
The Full Cowl Neck Tunic ($165): I like the longer length both in the sleeves and the body. The diagonal ties are an interesting visual feature.
The Short Vest ($85): I love vests and this is a simple piece that can be put over camis, tanks, tees, blouses, dresses, etc.
The Wrap ($118): Love the color, love the style. Looks great with tops or dresses.
The Sweater Dress ($205): I love cardigans that are dress length. They are fabulous with leggings or left open for layer. They have a wonderful movement about them. I love the ripple effect on this one.
The Little Black Dress ($110): I am a fan of pleats so this is a winner. I love the wide neck with matching banded sleeves and hem. It is a bit short so I’d probably wear it more like a long tunic than a dress.
Here is a look at the fashions in motion:
Their website is a bit finicky to shop at so be patient with it. For some reason they don’t show all the colors for each item. The images look blurry at first but when you click on them the extra large view is sharp and gives a good view. They ship throughout North America using Purolator so you know the shipping won’t be cheap. [FYI: The lovely blonde/brunette in images 1, 3, 4, and 5 is America’s Last Top Model Whitney Thompson by the way.

This would be a great piece to dress up your little black dress or over a cami and trousers. Or dress it down with a pair of black denim jeans or your favorite leggings. Having a jacket style gives the option for completely different looks; it can be left open as shown and layered over lighter pieces or it can be buttoned up to the neck and belted to give it contour.
How are you incorporating houndstooth into your fall and winter wardrobe?

This Kaleidoscope top is cute on its own with coordinating peek-a-boo bra straps for a casual summer day in denim shorts or dressed up with trousers and a summer blazer (dig out the grey suit).

Ulla Popken has a few different styles of plus size gauze tops in their store that I like.
There is the Cotton Gauze Tunic Blouse shown on the spokes model in the video which also comes in five solid color options. It is a pretty reasonable price at $39.
There are beaded and embroidered gauze tunics ranging from $49 to $59. I absolutely love the black one with the turquoise beads (has turquoise ever been as hot as it has the last few years?).
If you want something with a collar then there are the plus size hankie hem gauze shirts. I especially like the print (shown on one of models and video) and purple ones. These shirts are $39.
Ulla Popken offers sizes 12 to 34 and ships in and outside of the U.S.

If you are not familiar with Making It Big (MiB) they are an American company that offers sizes 2x to 8x. That is right, nothing below 2x. Something almost unheard of in the plus size clothing industry.

Personally I prefer the “roll-sleeve” rolled instead of unrolled like they have in the first photo.
The cami you see here does not come with the blouse and is sold in the same color or many others — black would look equally fetching.

If you got rid of them long ago then you can find pretty ones like this one at Ulla Popken in sizes 12 to 34.
The one shown here is actually a three piece set that includes the coordinating cami and duster and a pair of pants, all for $159. If you do not want a three piece Ulla Popken has a few other duster sets that do not come with pants to choose from.

The plus size Lola Crossover Top with cross hatch pattern is available in sizes 3x to 7x for $99:
The plus size Milan Tunic is a nice mixture of patterns and solids available in sizes 3x to 7x for $95:
As you can see the sizes at MIB are unique, one of the reasons I love them is because they offer a higher size range for a market of women that are often ignored by retailers. Have a look and maybe you will find a gem or two that speaks to you.

The top looks great on its own or layered under a cropped jacket. It is a flattering cut that works with a pair of dark jeans or a pencil skirt. CCO offers sizes 14 to 24 (read their size charts) and are not a bad price at $48.
