Etsy Pulls 2

After a bit of a drought, I revisted the Etsy plus size search and found some KILLER pieces. After scoring a gorgeous one for myself, here is the creme de la creme of my research...I hope some of my readers snatch these up! IF you do, please send me pics...I'd love to see how you style them.


Avenue Nightgown 22/24 $42.50



1960's Floral Coat XXL $150



Vintage Peach/Lace Dress XXL $95



1960's Teal Velvet Dress 2X/3X $36.99 (How AMAZING is this??)



Sheer Leopard Blouse 3X $22



Black Velvet Cocktail Dress Size 28/30 $24 (this one does not indicate when it was made...might be modern. Message if you are interested and this matters to you!)



1960s Purple Chiffon Babydoll 2X/3X $45

This adorable Cameo top was just released on Evans and I LOVE that it is a gothic lolita version of a comfy summer top. Pair it with a flippy skirt, flat maryjanes, and lots of girly black jewelry for a dressed up look without the stuffy sweaty icky!

How do you put an outfit together? I find one piece and build around it with things I think work. It could be as simple as a nail polish color or a full dress. How do you tackle coming up with the perfect outfit?

Celebrate the summer with some refreshing flavors! I'm really into Strawberry elements right now and here is the best of the best of the web. Do you like the post better with just the image that you have to click or do you prefer the break down like above? Tryin' something new!

This tunic was love at first sight for me. It's a great cut for my shape and HELLLLLO bow print! Until I can get my hands on it, I created an ensemble using it's pink, lavender, and turquoise bow graphics to pump up the fun. I'm generally bored by denim, but I think the cute cuffed capris add the perfect touch of casual to this outfit. Add some ribbon lace up ballet flats and you'll be as sweet as a snow cone.

I know this can easily turn into the I <3 Betsey Johnson blog any day now. But I do. I really do. If size permitted me, I would purchase probably 60% of my clothing from her line. Alas: this cannot be. So, in the meantime, I've rounded up a collection of plus size clothing, mixed with Betsey goodies to create the ultimate "Betsey Girl" look.

Key Elements for a Betsey Girl:
Leopard
Acid Florals
Bows
Ruffles
Girly Silhouettes
Color Clashing

Summer Prep Obsessions

As the temperatures creep up, the only way I can pry the layers off myself without crying is to think of purchasing some new summery digs. But, since I keep reminding myself and anyone who will listen that I'm an adult, I need to plan out what the best additions to my current wardrobe would be! Or better yet: take something I have an give it new life!! Here are my current obsessions...some I have, some to obtain.


Mint Nails - I put this up on wish list a few months ago and did purchase it. Now: I think it needs to be the summer go to color. I love the way they look with my sunny new yellow tresses!


Long Black Maxi Dress - I've been awaiting the perfect one and I think ASOS may have done it. I love strapless ones and ASOS seems to be cut for the taller girl...I went ahead and snagged it.


Cute Bathing Suit - and I WILL WEAR without a cover up. I want to get this one an add spikes to the bust line!


Pink Snood - perfect for bad hair days and yet still cool enough for summer wear.


Rings and Earrings - I always wear a necklace, but I'm thinking it might be nice to expand my accessory go-to pieces.


Cleansing Conditioner - My boss gave me this a few weeks ago and it may save my tortured hair this summer! It's a none foaming shampoo that's more like a conditioner. My scalp felt cool and tingly for hours AND my hair was easily combed without gummy-ness.

What are you looking forward to wearing this summer? Anything you can't live without?

I'm not sure about the rest of the country, but this past week has literally felt like someone flipped on the hot switch. Warm weather has always been SUPER annoying for me, as I love layers, jackets, and thick fabrics. What am I gonna do this time to keep cool without sacrificing any style points? Focus on these 4 pieces.

1. Large spike or pyramid earrings - a perfect touch for an updo or ponytail, that you'll inevitably have in the heat. Keep 'em tough, silver, and LARGE.
2. Edgey, intense sunglasses - people will be squinting to see what you have on your head! The weirder, the spikier, the better! By using an interest piece that is MADE to protect you from the shade, you'll get the best of both worlds.
3. Thin, dark tank tops - Your arms will be breezy, but never boring. Black on black ruffles and sheers can be easily translated by lopping off the sleeves.
4. Black Maxi Dresses - Flowy, comfy and incredibly cool (in more ways than one). Basic black dresses are all over the plus market, but don't stop there! DIY your favorite with spikes or studs from your local craft shops or throw on a studded belt just under your bust.

What are your go-to pieces during warm weather?
