SPRING INTO PLUS SIZE STYLE WITH SPRING TRENDS
“Florals? For spring? Ground breaking.” _Miranda Priestly (The Devil Wears Prada)
.

Today is the first official day of spring. I’m so excited! I’ve been ready to step away from Chicago’s winter wear. To me, spring is the like the screen door being opening to summer. When a new season changes it allows for new colors, new trends and yes new purchases, lol.

Each season the team at the Pantone Color Institute creates the PANTONE Fashion Color Trend Report; a color overview highlighting the top colors fashion designers showing at NY Fashion Week will be featuring in their collections for the upcoming season. With color on the catwalk a key indicator of the color stories, we can expect to see showing up across all areas of design. The Spring 2018 palette concedited of 12 top colors. Those top colors are Meadowlark, Cherry Tomato, Little Boy Blue, Chili Oil, Pink Lavender, Blooming Dahlia, Arcadia, Ultra Violet, Emperador, Almost Mauve, Spring Crocus and Lime Punch.
Pantone says “The Spring 2018 palette encourages a sense of fun and playful release. With an air of complexity and distinctiveness, we find ourselves in a sanctuary of color that is ideal for some more unique and dramatic color mixing.” This really speaks to my whimsical glam fashion style. Of the 12 top colors, the muse for my spring opening look is arcadia.

The color arcadia hints at retro yet at the same time modern, Arcadia is a cooler, cleaner take on green that with its tinge of blue undertone takes us into a new direction for the spring 2018 season.

Clearly, I didn’t want to go with the standard its spring look with the pattern of flowers, lol. As a result, I decided to start spring off by color blocking. I saw this Unique 21 Hero suit and I got all the Marc Jacobs Fall ’18 ready to wear vibes. To be creative with color I went with a bright purple makeup bag as a clutch. In addition, I completed by adding a pair of Sam Edelman pointed toe pumps.
With the change in seasons, now is a perfect time to try something new with your fashion. For example, if you don’t have any bright colors in your wardrobe try adding a single solid item of color as a staple piece. Swap out your traditional black sweater for a yellow jacket. Many of us have our favorite work shoes. Try replacing that brown flat with a dark purple flat (depending on the color many will think they’re black but you’ll know better, lol). Or work color in with your accessories. I love a good fedora. This burgundy fedora is affordable and just what spring ordered.
Spring Into Style Collaboration
I did this post as part of a collaboration with 2 other plus size style bloggers. We wanted to showcase how plus size women of different shapes and sizes can welcome spring into their wardrobe in multiple ways. You can find more plus size spring styling with Shamika of froplusfashion.com and Ashley of fabellis.com. This group brings diversity with our style and fashion vision.

Single Girl’s Valentine Day Gift Guide
“If you can’t love yourself, How the hell are you going to love somebody else?” _RuPaul
.
.
As a confirmed bachelorette when days like Valentine day comes around I make sure to treat myself to something special. I know a lot of girls will be showing off gifts they’ve purchased themselves aka “doing it for the gram” and claiming it’s from their man. I’m here to say be honest. In the words of the great Donna Marie Meagle of Parks and Recreation “Treat Yo Self!” and know it’s ok to do so.
Whether you plan to celebrate Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s Day or Singles Appreciation Day I have made the perfect gift guide for you.
The Single Girl’s Valentine day gift guide will focus on 3 of my favorite things. The first item will be dresses. Dresses are an easy way to celebrate yourself and show your personality. The second will be lingerie. I’m a huge fan lingerie. As a single woman, I personally wear lingerie for myself often. It’s a great way to spice up an outlook. Lastly purses. Purses as an accessory are my go-to way to take a look to the next level.
The guide’s color wheelhouse is red and pink. Both colors have long been associated with Valentine’s day. Red is the color of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love. Red is a very emotionally intense color. It enhances human metabolism, increases respiration rate, and raises blood pressure. Pink is the English word for a color often called rosa in Italian, German and Spanish. A color named after the most romantic flower must have something to do with Valentine’s Day! Pink is created by mixing red and white, making it a purer form of the lusty red.

If anything catches your eye simply click the item for direct purchase. Be sure to tag me on Instagram so I can see how you styled these items. Even though I’m single this Valentine’s day I’ll be making the love of my life, my nephew Jaivon, a beauty gift basket. He has brought so much love and joy to my life. He’s my Valentine every day!
