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.

3 Foundations For Dark Skin Tones I am loving right now

One of the most fun parts of what I do is being able to try so many new makeup products throughout the year. I definitely have more makeup and skincare products that I can use in a lifetime. Even with the daily packages, one thing I still invest my money in is a good foundation. Even with the recent extension of many lines to add more shades, finding the perfect shade for darker skin tones is still a bit of a challenge.

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 »
