When it comes to Valentine’s Day the immediate thought that comes to mind is the concept of sexy.

theCURVYcon 2017 Recap

I liked the very idea that Cece and Chastity had to move it to New York Fashion Week so that plus size fashion would be showcased and celebrated at the same time as straight size fashions. If anything the date change challenged the fashion industry to take notice that they are missing out.

This year fall in NYC has been a bit of a tease, going from crisp, cool temps to summer sometimes even within the course of the same day.

March 30, 2016April 8, 2016Leave a comment

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. The best part about this list is that these same pieces can carry over into summer be it for a day out with the family or time in the office and it is budget-friendly as everything on this list is less than $40 (minus shipping.) Happy shopping!
