Plus Size Fall Dresses For Wedding Guest

Got an October wedding and don’t know what to wear? I got you. Most of the weddings I attended in my life were during the summer months, so I hardly think what I would wear if I were invited to a Fall wedding. That ends today!

When it comes to wedding guest dresses, there are a few features that I always look for. First is the material, and since we are talking about fall wedding guest dresses, it’s best to go with something on a heavier side. The second is the silhouette; mid to floor-length would be ideal. Last but not least is the sleeve’s length and neckline. Unless you are planning to layer your dress, I’d stick with dresses that have a bit of coverage. As usual, these are only suggestions, you are free to wear whatever you are comfortable with, and that makes you feel your best.

How To Wear A Pleated Skirt With A Tummy

How to wear a pleated skirt with a tummy was the number one question that brought googlers to my blog this month. So, like any great content creator out there, I am taking advantage of the traffic and writing a post to help you answer this burning question.

Mini Leather Skirt

Assa Cisse - plus size outfit idea- leather skirt

A leather skirt is a go-to staple around this time of the year. Not only does it keep you warm, it’s also a versatile piece that is trendy and fashion-forward. While doing my weekly thrifting last week I stumble upon two brand new leather skirts from Danier. I was shocked to say the least because I never knew Danier carried any size over XL. Both skirts were a size US 24 but different lengths. Obviously they are not true to size but my luck because they both fit me perfectly.  Read More »

30 stylish Plus Size Transitional Pieces For Fall

Whether you’re counting down the weeks until sweater weather or hoping summer could hang just a bit more, it’s safe to say we’re now in that awkward, in-between stage. It’s hard to find something to wear because the weather is unpredictable. For instance yesterday Toronto beats temperature record at 32 degrees Celsius. So do not put away your summer clothes yet, instead try to be creative by mixing and matching or layering them with other lightweight pieces when the weather cools down. Some of my favorite transitional pieces are trenchcoats (black, and camel), utility jackets, lightweight cardigans, ankle boots, scarves, denim shirts, long sleeve dresses, white shirts, pretty printed blouses, flannel shirts, etc. Read More »
