Outfit of the Day, style journey · June 4, 2012

SHOPPING MAURICES

Hey curvy girls all over the world,
Today’s post is beneficial to both my plus-sized and straight sized readers.

The plus size retail industry is growing so fast. There a a myriad of retailers out there that carry trendy and affordable plus size clothing. Maurices is one of those junior sized retailers that carries misses and plus size clothes. About 2 weeks ago, I was contacted by Maurices to checkout their site and try an item. I happily obliged and found a number of cute casual pieces that are perfect for the upcoming summer months.
I’m all about ease and comfort during summer. Who wants to be tugging and pulling on their clothes. I like to glide around the streets of NYC in a cute dress or throw on a pair of jeans and a top when running errands, which means I’m always on the hunt for easy breezy clothes.
After cruising the site, I found that Maurices is more for those who have a casual laid back style. There are tons of graphic tees and denim with a few chic styles mixed in. While checking out their plus size section, I found a hi-low hem striped dress (You know I love my stripes), which I thought would be perfect for weekend barbecue’s or running around NYC. I also found more cute and comfy pieces that were summer and spring worthy. Maurices plus sizes range from 12-26 and their misses (for my straight sized readers) ranges from 1/2-13/14. Clearly, they believe in the motto of providing affordable fashion for every size.
For more looks, checkout Maurices website HERE, also, follow them on Facebook and Twitter
Checkout my personal picks and how I looked rocking the striped hi-low hem dress below:
Striped Hi-Low Maxi Dress $49

And here I am in the striped dress. I wore it casually this weekend with wedges and a couple of bracelets.
It’s such a cute and comfy dress. The sizing ran big. When it comes to junior plus size apparel, I always order a size up. For this dress, I had to order a size down. The material was thick and it was lined, which I found helpful.
What do you think?

*Please note that this dress was gifted to me. However, being gifted this dress did not influence my positive review.

    You look great. We recently got a Maurices where I live but so far I have been less than impressed. IDK, maybe they will get better. Either way nice dress and great find.
