4 Plus Size Denim Pieces You Need In Your Wardrobe This Spring

Well, there is a reason why I’m not particularly eager to get rid of my clothes because trends always come back. Have you noticed the rise of denim on the runway and the streets in the past few months? I have, and I am here for it. Nothing beats a good denim-on-denim outfit, aka Canadian tuxedo, especially when you have nothing to wear.

Unlike other trends, when plus-size women have to wait a couple of years before getting pieces, this one is pretty available because denim is always trendy. As usual, before purchasing any of the pieces below, check your local thrift shops first for some cool vintage pieces.

If you are searching for plus-size denim pieces to add to your wardrobe this spring and summer, you will love some options below.

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.

Is it me, or are we having a mild fall this year? Not that I mind the warmer temperatures, but a girl is trying to wear her cute and comfy fall pieces. Talking about comfortable how gorgeous is this plus-size matching set? I purchased it last year but never had the chance to wear it outside of the home yet. Just like last year, cozy matching loungewear sets are having a moment, although I am not quite sure if this qualifies as loungewear. You be the judge.

5 Places To Shop For Plus Size African Print Designs

African print designs and attires

I am sure you stumbled on this post because you’re looking for African print designs and attires for plus size women. I know your pain, that’s why I’ve decided to put this post together and share with you a few places to purchase plus size African print attires. Africa is a huge continent (Nope it’s not a country) with a lot of different cultures. If there is one thing that most African countries share it’s their love for prints. Yes. we love our prints.

One of the many perks of living in Africa is that you can customize everything you wear. In Mali, we have tailors in almost every street corner. It’s a matter of seeing something you like, buy your fabric of choice and hit the tailor. I miss that. Everything I am wearing today was made for me while I was on vacation a couple of years ago.

During my years of blogging, I have noticed that African prints or some might call it Ankara has become very popular in the US and around the world. The fabrics are now made in Asia and have been worn by countless of celebrities.  With that popularity, it’s only normal that designers want to cash in. One name that comes to mind is  Haitian designer Stella Jean and even recently Dior.

With a big name comes prices. If you are an average joe like myself and looking for something affordable, below is a shortlist of designers that make plus size African print designs.

Whether you are plus size or not Etsy is the go-to store for beautifully crafted African print dresses, skirts, and blazers. All the dresses are handmade which gives you a little bit of room to customize the items you want. The sellers are available from all corners of the world.

 At the end of this post, you’ll find some of my favorite plus size African print sets, skirts, and dresses. Just click on each photo to shop.

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 »
