Sensibly Styled » Plus Size

I prepared myself for the birthday party scene. That scene has always made me cringe. The high waisted pants. The braided hair. The short length of her top. The kimono style jacket with jeans. I waited to be embarrassed for Julia Roberts like I always was…….

And then, I wasn’t. I have watched that movie several times and every time I have been wholly offended by that outfit. And now, here I was thinking it was really cute.

Fashion is referencing the 90′s more and more these days and I’m kind of loving it.

ASOS has come out with Fall items and I am already droooling. They have such lovely neutrals + pops of interesting color. Its so satisfying to the eye to see how the colors correspond.

The subtle 90′s references work wonderfully.
You all just know how I feel about a good trouser.

Fall is my hands down favorite time for fashion. As the weather gets cooler – there are more layers and options to play with. And I will always love the colors.

Check out some of the options below. I love the great modest options. I also think this coat is a great value.

clutch earrings jeans black dress cranberry dress mustard purse cranberry trouser satchel handbag bright coat

olive trouser blue skirt brown coat

Also: make sure to check out the awesome summer sale at ASOS as well. Awesome deals!

Lots of stylish, knee length skirts: here here here and pretty close: here

Pretty and soft knee length dress + sleeves {plus} here and here

Fitted and sexy knee length + sleeves here and here

My very FAV item from the bunch: a beautiful maxi skirt

A really cool loose dress with sleeves

I love this drapey, modest kimono dress – I think it would make great maternity

This is mid thigh but has sleeves – if you’re okay with the length it would make a great party dress

An extra long cute tee with sleeves for $20.

Ciao Ciao and Happy Shopping!

Pretty, Chic, Modest Plus Dresses at Saks

Livi — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 00:48:20 +0000

last pop in for the week – but i had to tell you about some new finds!

there are a lot more really cute plus size clothing coming out every year. but the fact of the matter is, plus size shopping is harder than you think and for more reasons than you think.

plus size tends to be on extremes sometimes. you either have the super frumpy dated look, or the too - juvenile look. plus size tends to be not just a little – but way more expensive. but most of all, finding trendy AND modest plus size attire can be so hard. you wouldn’t think that right?

so i am really excited about a new source for plus size i have realized : saks

i’ve never really considered saks.

the only thing i have ever owned from there was this beautiful number. i got buyers remorse and took it back 3 days later. one of the enduring tragedies of my life. {cough overly dramatic cough}

the point is, i never really look there for items because i always assume they are totally out of price range and i have always assumed they don’t even sell plus size.

i was pleasantly surprised to find that saks.com has some really great stuff AND carries sizes 0-24!

yes, the prices are a little higher, but they aren’t too insane when you compare them to shabby apple or even lane bryant because saks clothing is obviously designer brands.

this would especially be a great resource if you’re looking for something extra special, as a bridesmaid dress or for a holiday/occasion!

p.s. somebody buy that little red party number right NOW and wear it for a christmas or new years party! its fab!\

ciao ciao and happy shopping!
