Outfit Idea of the Day: A cute skirt and shirt combo for my curvy ladies

 A cute wear to work outfit or for a night out, this outfit is a great example of pieces that can be broken up and used in other outfits. This shirt can be paired with a cardigan and jeans in chillier months. I love the bright color shining through on this black and white top that creates such a beautiful pattern. V-neck shirts are also universally flattering in making women look slimmer.

I found a great source for plus-sized clothing in madisonplus.com, it features a range of prices but there are a lot of great deals to be had, like this skirt. A pretty medium gray with a belt to slim the waist, this is a great neutral color to pair with a variety of tops.

These beautiful blue earrings really pop the color in the shirt and pull the whole outfit together.

Outfit Idea of the Day: Leopard and Yellow

 I love leopard and I love yellow so putting them together is a dream. I think you could wear this with jeans or some nice dress pants or even a pencil skirt. This simple button down with three quarter length sleeves is a perfect lightweight spring shirt.

A pretty bright spring color belt to cinch the waist of this shirt brings life to the gray and black leopard shirt.

Outfit Idea of the Day: Skinny Cargo Pants

A cute every day outfit, one that would be easy to pull together and get out the door every morning, yet look still polished.

I really like the ruffles and buttons on this tan jacket, a great neutral piece to go with many tops or even over a dress.

 Skinny cargo pants are a new trend on the scene. I was leery of this trend at first thinking it couldn't possibly be flattering, but I've seen them on a few people and have found them to be a refreshing alternative to jeans.

A cute pair of simple denim wedges like these will get a lot of use with sundresses and shorts in the summer but would also look nice with this outfit.

With the print of the shirt this outfit doesn't need a lot of accessorizing. A simple colorful necklace like this will do the trick.

Outfit Idea of the Day: Long Shirt and Leggings

 I'm a bit of a leggings addict. I believe they are the chic way to be comfortable in public. The glorified sweatpants, but way prettier and more fitted :) I chose this navy blue ruffle shirt because I love the color, it's not printed, but it's not plain Jane either.

I love the color combination of navy blue and dark brown. I love the subtle zipper detail on the ankles.

 Orange works beautifully with both of the colors while adding a gorgeous contrast to the dark pallet.  A statement necklace like this will really make an outfit have character and interest.

Outfit Idea of the Day: The $16 Dress for Work

 I was stalking Macy's clearance section and lo and behold I see this cute dress that would work really well for the office. It's a Tommy Hilfiger dress and it's cheap! Yay! I've put together a simple work day outfit with this dress.

 I think a simple black Y necklace is the ticket for this dress because of the cut on the top portion. It will add a simple touch of elegance.

 I found some cute embossed pointy toe heels that did not have an extreme heel height. I think that these look extremely nice and will pull off the whole polished look.

We have to get a pop of color here with a great, feminine handbag. I love the color, the ruffles and the tassles on this bag. This would make a great everyday purse.

How did I do? Would you wear this to work, an interview or just for a night out?

Outfit Idea of the Day: A Sweet Little Jacket

As Easter approaches you see pastels everywhere, but I don't see nearly enough on your bodies! I came across this jacket in lilac (a color I don't normally wear) and was mesmorized by its simple beauty. The crocheted and oversized lapels are absolutely gorgeous and the asymetrical design   keeps it very modern.                                           This jacket is only $17.00 by Eyeshadow at vonmaur.com (p.s. they have free shipping!)

I think this jacket calls for a soft flowy top like this one to keep it ultra-feminine and sweet. A great basic to add to your wardrobe.

 It's getting warmer and its almost time to break out the capris. I love the hue cuff on these ones as well as the wash and fit for this outfit.

Outfit Idea of the Day: Black and Gold T-Shirt and Jeans Combo (for the curvier ladies)

I really dislike the fashion industry term "plus size" so I like to say "curvy" I think it is more encompassing and fair. I am in love with this bow shirt. As you already know I love bows! And this just has such a vintage feel. I love it!

Cream/Gold Foil Bow Tee $19.98 torrid.com

I know some of you will be leary of wearing skinny jeans but I really believe a dark wash like this is flattering on everyone and the price makes it worth giving them a try.

A beautiful stack of bangles like this could be the only accessory this outfit really needs.
