This lovely beaded spaghetti-strap top with scarf is a sassy addition to your wardrobe! I know that $63.20 seems rather expensive, but the beautiful detail on this top just can’t be matched! In addition, the other scarves listed on the site go for about $20 alone! The fact that you get a beautiful scarf to go with an equally beautiful top is one that you just can’t ignore. Sizes go from 14 - 26.

If you’re like me, you want a nice, muted outfit, without looking as if you’re wearing a tent. This lovely outfit is dipped in a rich, deep brown tone and gifted with wings that will lift you clear off your feet! Sizes range from 14W to 34W, so there’s something for everyone! I am a huge fan of the style of this dress — my closet is full of dresses like this, due to the way they flow over the body. When it comes to plus-size fashion, the goal here isn’t to cover up, but to accentuate. For years, I believed that I had to cover up my hips. They were big, and I felt that if I didn’t have small hips, I should hide them. How wrong I was! My hips are apart of my body, and as a strong woman, I cannot bear to hide any part of myself, and neither should you!

I leave you with this note, for now. We do have much to discuss, ladies - we’ve left off two very important items on our fashion hotlists, and we can’t have that, now can we?
