Spring Plus Size Outfit Guide for Every Occasion

It’s Friday night, you’re meeting the girlies for charcuterie, and you’ve just gotten out of your everything shower to find notifications from the group chat. β€œWhat are we wearing tonight?”, someone asks. Then you read the replies and the consensus is, β€œJeans and a cute top”.

It’s Saturday and you’ve got a first date with a hottie. They’ve planned something simple, dinner at the hottest new restaurant and drinks after. You want to look cute but not like you tried too hard. You put on your favorite jeans and a cute top.

It’s Sunday and that means brunch with your siblings. You need something cute and easy to wear that your little sister will be begging to borrow. You need jeans and a cute top.

This tried and true outfit recipe from the early 2010s is a perfect formula. You’ll feel cute, comfortable, and confident, especially when you have plus-size jeans and a plus-size blouse made especially with your body in mind.

I’ve put together five looks that will be perfect staples for all your cute adventures.

top/jeans/flats/bag/earrings/hair bow

This leopard blouse is the hottest trend of the moment but will be a piece you grab for years to come. Pair her with these dark wash cargo jeans and a pop of red in the ballet flats. Accessorize with a red hair bow and red flower earrings to match. Finish everything off with a whimsical statement bagβ€”a fresh way to do groundbreaking florals for spring.

top/jeans/flats/bag/bra/necklace/ear cuffs/earrings

For a warmer night, try this rose halter top that is the perfect baby blue for the season. Pair her with some wide leg jeans, a piece that you will want to wear to every occasion from brunch to casual Fridays in your hybrid office. Add matching colorful pearls in fun and bright hughes of pink and green. Finish the look off with matching flats and a fun bag. Don’t forget the perfect strapless bra for large chests.

top/pants/flats/bag/earrings/bra

This beaded blouse and olive chinos are a perfect combo. Mixing high and low together is the easiest way to look incredibly cool. Add lace flats (high) with a wicker bag (low). Add a matching bra that will be another fun pop of color, beautiful earrings, and you’ll be best dressed at any function.

shorts/tube top/button up/mules/earrings/bag/tube top 2/tube top 3

On a sunset date try an outfit with a light layer you can add that’s still fun and sexy as the sun goes down. These dark wash bermuda shorts are another staple for any closet. Pair them with a white tube top and matching statement bag. Add earrings and a small heel in coordinating colors. Finish it all off and tie it all together with a beautiful button up plus size blouse.

By now you know the drill! This fun bubble blouse is an amazing way to play with proportion. A trouser jean that snatches your waist and adds artistic interest to the look will make the perfect combo. Add matching belt and sandals, an incredible shell clutch to live your mermaid dreams, and jewelry to accent the nautical theme.

The Best Hand Sanitizers For You and Your Kids

Hand sanitizer has become, along with medical face masks, a daily staple for staying healthy during COVID-19. The past two years of the pandemic have I think made us all think of germs in a way we never had before, and I know I always make sure I have my hand sanitizer on me before I leave the house.

$10 at Bloomingdales

The Touchland Hand Sanitizer is the best and I have to tell you all about it. I’ve been using it in the Lemon Lime Spritz scent and it smells so good and protects from dangerous germs. The packaging is flat so they can easily fit in a purse or pocket and each bottle is $10!

To effectively protect against COVID-19, you need to make sure you select a hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol content, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Touchland spray is 67% alcohol.

Where To Buy Cute Covid Face Masks Online

Y’all! It looks like we will be wearing cloth face masks for a while. How wild is it that we are living through a plague? Covid-19 has been in America since March now, with no signs of letting up any time soon. Masks help protect ourselves and more importantly others and the CDC recommends we wear face masks wherever we go in public. In some places, like where I live in West Hollywood, there’s a $300 fine for being in public without a mask.

While the main purpose is not to be a fashion accessory, face masks are becoming a huge part of our everyday lives. Let’s look at some cute options that will maybe make you smile a bit behind them.

Dealing With The Other F Word: "Fat"

Fat! That word. Makes people. So uncomfortable. People spend billions of dollars every year to avoid being called that one single word. We give the word β€œfat” so much power over us, but why? Today I want to talk about how to appropriately handle the word β€œfat” being thrown around and how to be prepared to have those conversations.

IMG_6906.jpg

When A Fat Person Describes Themselves As β€œFat”:

I have heard the following phrase so much over the course of my life that if I had a nickel for every time I could retire: You’re not fat, you’re beautiful. I know! I never said I was β€œugly”, I said I was β€œfat”. The F word makes people so uncomfortable that a fat person describing themselves makes thin people need to erase our fat experience (because how could anyone ever be cool with being fat right?!). Sometimes it’s because the thin person thinks being fat would be a fate worse than death, sometimes it’s because in the past the thin person feels like they made a fat person feel better with that statement, sometimes the thin person genuinely thinks they are helping. No matter the reason for it though, the thin person is showing that they have bias against that word and against fat itself.

If the fat person drops the f word casually and is not visibly upset while talking, leave it alone! Pretend like the fat person called themselves a brunette or something instead. They said a fact about their body, let them! If the fat person is upset about being fat ask, β€œwhy is being fat bad?”. That’s an ally right there, baby! Getting to the core of the issue will help you and the other person figure out the root of that bias and how to tell that root it’s time to get removed from dat heart and brain soil (humor me w this weak metaphor pls)!

When A Thin Person Describes Themselves As β€œFat”:

β€œI feel so fat right now”. β€œI just ate so much pizza, I’m so fat and disgusting”. β€œI need to start my diet, I’m getting fat”. β€œI have this little belly pouch I’m such a fattie”. Unless someone is truly dealing with body dysmorphia, I’m over it. I say β€œI’m not comfortable talking about this right now, can we talk about something else"?” or I leave. But if you want to engage in a discussion on this topic, I would again ask my thin friend why. Why do they think being fat is bad? Why would being fat be such a horrible death sentence? Why when they feel full, or insecure, or greasy, or bad do they think those feelings are synonymous with β€œfat”?


Asking why and getting to the root of things is the only way to go in my opinion. It’ll help you get into the psyche of the person and we can always have more generous hearts when we understand why someone is doing what they’re doing. It’s also good for people to get to the root of their own behavior and it’s always good to evaluate ourselves and figure out why we say or do or believe the things we do!

We all get to define ourselves for ourselves and no one gets to take that truth away from us, but the outside world looks at us and defines us too. If the world looks at a person and would not characterize them as β€œfat”, that person carries inherent privileges with them and examining our privilege is necessary for all of us to do. If you are benefiting from thin privilege in the outside world, and still using your friends inside to reassure you that you are not a β€œfat, disgusting, pig” then that’s harmful. If a person that anyone in the outside world would call β€œfat” wants to calmly and objectively define themselves in that way, let them!

My goal is always to help people feel good about themselves. If a fat person claiming their identity and proudly define themselves as fat makes them feel good, we should let them! If a thin person is using words in a harmful way against themselves, let’s ask why and get to the root of the issue so that they can define themselves in more positive terms! Let’s learn to love ourselves and unlearn that β€œfat” = ”bad”. It does not.
