My Favorite Plus-Size Store: Charlotte Russe

When shopping for clothing I tend to look for retailers who provide quality trendy clothing but at a affordable price point and when a retailer offers that plus sales and kick backs I'm officially hooked. As of this summer I have fallen in love with Charlotte Russe and their plus-size selection. CR was one of the first stores in my local mall to offer plus-size clothing after years of F21 saying they would offering but didn't until they saw how successfully CR plus-size section was. They offer a wide variety of clothing from sexy, chic, hobo, and etc. Not to mention it's a one-stop shop as they offer shoes and accessories to complete you outfit. I love this store they just get it!!!

What I Wore: End of Summer

So this week I was in the mood to spruce up my look. I returned to work from leave and felt recharged. Normally I dress for comfort but this week I wanted dress up. 


I started the week with mixing prints. This outfit is thrifted the shirt I found at Goodwill and the skirt I purchased from Poshmart.
I went to see Janet Jackson this week and opted for all black look. I purchased this crop top and skirt set from Forever21 about a year ago. I wanted something sexy yet classy. 


Since I live in the South we get a longer summer. So I've been rushing to wear some of my last minute summer dresses. I purchased this turquoise dress from Lane Bryant and paired it with a cardigan not pictured.

All White Party: The struggle of finding the perfect plus size all white dress

Last night I went to the 14th annual All White Affair given annually by CGI Entertainment. I don't go out often but I make a effort to support this event. Mostly because it's different than the typical Saturday night club crowd. All White Parties typically bring out the who's who of the city and last night wasn't a exception. The night was filled with good music, food and drinks. I love the layout of the Carde building and although I wished I would've taken more pictures I was busy enjoying myself with a new friend.

  Being that I'm a fashion enthusiast I love to see what people are wearing especially my plus size sisters. As a plus size woman I know how difficult it can be to find the perfect All White Dress for a event. I opted to purchase dress from a "instagram" boutique and honestly I sort of regretted it. Why? Well I saw two other women with the same dress!!!!
It's nothing more awkward then seeing someone else with the same exact dress on not once but twice but in all honesty what could I expect when I opted to shop on instagram. I wasn't the only woman who seem to have this issue however, as I saw several repeat outfits mostly all white skirts and dresses that can be bought on many of the well known instagram shops. While I'm not saying that purchasing items from instragram is necessarily bad but if you're looking for exclusivity then you're best option is to think outside the box. So I wanted to share a few tips, in all honesty find a plus size dress isn't hard but it solely depends on your budget and how many coins you are willing to spare for a one-time event. In my case I tend to only wear these dresses once a year so I tend to limit my budget for this event. I paired my white dress with my Chanel CC earnings and a handmade body chain necklace. I purchased my shoes from Shoedazzle and paired it with my moto-jacket hot pink purse.

I'm a eBay Seller: Plus Size Leopard Print Wrap Dress

 Hi beautiful girls, I'm officially back to selling gems on eBay my dream is to have a successful online boutique but I have to start small. However, when I ran across this beauty I knew I had to purchase a few for my beauties who love beautiful things and keep one for myself (don't judge me). I've said many times on my Youtube Channel and I'll say it again. I consider leopard print to be a neutral meaning you can do some much with it. Today I played it safe and pair it with my round toe orange Zara Pumps and a clutch. I fell in love with this dress because of the wrap design it gives me more of an hourglass shape while concealing my tummy area. This dress can easily transition into a fall piece by pairing it with a nice blazer and booties.

Holy Chic Plus Size OOTD

      I have driven past this mural for years and always thought to myself that I would shoot there one day. Today that happened, it was very nice out today and I wanted to wear my new "Holy Chic" shirt from Old Navy. As of lately things have been transitioning around me and some major things are about to transpire. I say that because that is what I believe mostly importantly that is what I feel. While uploading and editing this photo I began to think about the fashion community in Memphis and how proud I am to be apart of something great. Enjoy...
