At The Office, Outfit of the Day ·

AT THE OFFICE: BLACK & WHITE STRIPES

So, it looks like spring is still in teasing mode. One day it’s a beautiful sunny 60 degree day and the next it’s a dreary brisk 45 degree day. I really get annoyed when the weather gets finicky, because all I want to do is wear my spring clothes and san my stockings and boots. The other day was a mix of warm and cool, and sun and clouds. I decided to wear my striped dress that I got from Faith21 Plus. It’s the one I bought for my shop like an editor challenge (pictured here). I truly love how this dress fits and it made me feel confident because of the way it outlined my shape.

I wore a cropped blazer with it for the office and my red suede pumps. I can’t wait until the weather truly warms up so, I can rock a pair of pink strappy sandals with it. You will probably see more of this dress for spring because I think it’s just so versatile and can be styled in a myriad of ways.

I know the rules say that plus size women shouldn’t wear horizontal stripes, especially skinny ones, but, all I have to say to that is (in my best Vivica Fox voice) “You can put that where, back there.” Stripes seem to be a major trend this year (every year, really), a la Marc Jacobs and Jil Sander, so, my big butt, hips, and thighs will gladly partake in this trend.
Someone called, lol. Not really, I just wanted to be extra for the photo.

    OMG! These pictures have convinced me to get over my fear of stripes. Must start adding dresses to my closet instead of living in loose tees

    I love stripes! On a curvy figure like yours they are perfect and chic! You look like one of those French ladies walking around Paris in the Springtime. ^_^

    Seriously? You could be dressed in a burlap sack and your skin and hair are so perfect that no one would notice :). All that aside, I love all the looks you created! Stripes are one of my favorite patterns and it’s great to see so many takes on how to style them.

    So I’m not the only one who goes extra for blog photos (giggles). I’m still on the hunt for such a dress. Old Navy had a navy blue and red one but never my size (clearance) and belting it didnt’ work
