My Current (Affordable) Spring Favorites
While I continue to write the finishing touches for upcoming installments of +Size Matters, I decided to share some of my favorite pieces from various plus size spring collections online. I got to say that I am really loving the coral and mint colors that are clearly this seasons favorites as well as the new takes on some old prints and textures like florals, denim, crochet and chambray.

Happy shopping!
