Plus Size Style- Everyday Bombshell

It's a rare day that I work jeans into my plus size wardrobe.  I never feel completely like myself in jeans.  For one thing, honestly- I have long torso.  Which means that I, inevitably, have a sweet muffin top whenever I wear pants.  So that's a lot of fun.  But every once in a while, I want to try something different than my usual dress and tights uniform.  And this is how it turns out.

Not bad...just not me.

This pair of jeans is from Avenue.  I topped them with a tee shirt from Old Navy, a cardigan (with girly puffed sleeves) from Talbots, and a yellow scarf from Old Navy.  


These earrings were a Christmas gift from Most Ridic, from Patina here in St. Paul. 

I'm getting to the point in my life where experimentation is less exciting...and spending a whole day feeling unlike 'me' just isn't any fun.  How to find the balance between keeping my style from feeling stagnant and just not being myself...that's the question!

What's part of your everyday wardrobe?

  1. Honestly - that outfit looks amazing on you! The yellow completely finishes it off. You look comfortable but pulled together at the same time. LOVE IT.

  3. I also have a really hard time finding good jeans. This fall I had good luck at Old Navy, simply because they have a variety of washes and lengths. (of course this weekend when I tried to older a lighter wash they were out of my size!)

    I love spring/summer/fall when i can wear dresses! However once its winter I tend to go for leggings and tunics or long sweaters.

    1. I wore leggings and tunics a ton last winter but for some reason never pulled them out this year... maybe they'll become part of my spring wardrobe!

    1. Is it a physical- comfort thing or a style- comfort thing for you? I think it's a combination of both for me...

  5. I totally agree you have to feel comfortable in what you where but that aside it's an adorable outfit (and very much my style). :)

  6. For me it is both a style and physical comfortableness (is that a word? lol) When I go out, I nearly always choose a skirt, just feel more like me in one. :)
