Old Navy’s having a great plus-size sale right now! This jacket, pictured, is marked down from $82 to $41. It’s available in a bunch of different colors, up to 4X, and I’m certainly not objecting to the price tag. If you need something for the winter, you can grab this and last until spring… and if you grab it in black, all of your wintertime accessories will match. Image: Old Navy This style jacket is a great way to add a tiny bit of definition to your silhouette, because it has a sash, and the oversized collar is very stylish. I’m definitely going to be wearing mine with dark jeans and low boots, because it’s a never-fail look that’ll last you through the season. I’ll take 50% off, any day! What’s... [Read more]

Carmakoma is one of my very favorite places to shop for plus: it’s a treasure trove of 14+ pieces with true European flair, mostly because this label is actually from Europe. With creative cuts and plenty of romantic lines, this particular collection has made me a repeat customer for F/W 2009-10. As a plus-size shopper, you probably know just how very rare this is! Image: Carmakoma The Hallo Jacket ($173) has a functional and pretty texture of diamond-shaped topstitching, but it also employs some great detailing along the sleeves and button placket to make this piece stand out. Since we’re looking for functional pieces this time of year, I was pretty excited to see that this jacket features a higher-than-normal collar and a waist... [Read more]

Are you addicted to comfy pajamas? I definitely am! While I do love the sexy stuff, I’m always fighting my “need to be comfortable” side, which means that when I find a piece that bridges the gap, I rejoice! This sleepshirt from Hips and Curves is ultra-sexy and just $19.95… isn’t that perfect? Image: Hips and Curves Of course, you can wear this tee with leggings or treggings if you prefer, but lounging around the house all day in it will just be too tempting for words! Slip into a 1/2X or a 3/4X (if only they had a 5/6X as well) and lazy around–this is one divine shirt for casual relaxation. Do you have any pieces that you love to wear at home? I have to admit that my loungewear is getting a little threadbare,... [Read more]

Yes, I’m going to see New Moon, and no, I’m not embarrassed! That being said, I probably won’t wear this t-shirt anywhere except bed, but Robert Pattinson’s face is just too hot to pass up completely. For plus girls out there who aren’t afraid to show their fandom, Torrid carries a range of extended-size New Moon tees in a bunch of different styles. Image: Torrid At first I was thinking that it was weird to have dear Edward here emblazoned across my chest, but the idea is growing on me after catching some of the recent Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart outtakes! What can I say? Their energy has managed to convert me into a minor fan, meaning that by the holidays, I’ll probably have a couple of these tees... [Read more]

I love this plus-size blouse I found over at Dillard’s. I can’t think of the last time I shopped over there, but I think I need to change that now: this Nygard Collection Silk Blouse is positively festooned with interesting swirls on a quality silk ground. I get excited every time I see a cool plus-size blouse, but this one is extra special: does it even look like an extended-size offering to you?! Didn’t think so! Image: Dillards The color is an acquired taste, but I was breezing right past that to admire its border-print hem and highly flattering 3/4-length sleeves. This is a sweet piece for wearing underneath a leather jacket or a cropped blazer, and I’m almost tempted to go wild and pair it with this vintage crochet... [Read more]
