8 Must Have Plus Size Tights | Tipping On The Tight Rope

Within this blog post, I’ll be sharing some amazing plus size tights just in time for cold weather season.  From color options to patterns.  So many to pick from.

Tights are an affordable way to update a look.  They’re a great way to bring some of your summer and even spring looks into fall or winter comfortably.  Who doesn’t want to wear their favorite dress or shorts into the next season?  That same dress you rock all summer can now be worn in the fall by simply adding tights to the look.  Tights are one of my best cold weather friends.  Depending on the pair you’re wearing they can be not only functionally but sexy or fun.

I have collected a few of my favorite brands so you can see what tight options are out there.  I have selected tights from Lane Bryant, ASOS, Eloquii, Macy’s and Target.  Tights come in lots of colors and styles so there is something for everyone.

What does denier mean?

One of the key features of tights is the denier. By definition, denier is a unit of weight used for determining the fineness or thickness of the tights. The lower the denier value, the more fragile and sheer the tights are.

Tights less than 40 denier are generally referred to as pantyhose or stockings. The higher the denier number, the thicker the tights. Opaque tights are commonly available in 50 denier, 60 denier, and 70 denier thicknesses.

Here are some opaque tights I’m here for.

Gabi Fresh speaking on plus size and working with Playful Promises.  “As a plus size woman with a 38HH bust, finding stylish, supportive and sexy lingerie options has always been an issue for me. So often people my size are left with boring beige options, and I’m honored to help change that. Body positivity is a core part of my belief system and brand, and designing lingerie that makes women feel good in their skin is a natural progression for me after doing the same with my swimwear collections. I’m so excited to be working with Playful Promises! They’re a great partner because they take risks with design and truly stand apart from what is currently being offered in extended sizes.”

Chrissy Metz, Danielle Brooks And I All Love Rubber Dresses


“I’m a Barbie girl, In a Barbie world.  Life in plastic, It’s fantastic.” 
_Aqua

.

.

My recent visit to New York for New York Fashion Week included attending theCurvycon.  I had the time of my life.  My favorite part of theCurvycon had to be the Keynote with Chrissy Metz.  If you’ve been living under a rock and don’t know who she is well here’s a quick run down.

Chrissy Metz is an actress best known for her role in the NBC show “This Is Us” were she plays Kate Pearson.  The “This Is Us” series follows siblings Kate, Kevin and Randall as their lives intertwine as adults.  Kate and Kevin were originally part of a triplet pregnancy.  Born six weeks early; their biological brother was stillborn.  Their parents, Jack and Rebecca, having expected to bring home three babies, decide to adopt another newborn: Randall, a black child born the same day and brought to the same hospital after his biological father abandoned him at a fire station.  The episodes weave through the stories of the past and present of the characters, taking place in 1980, 1989–1995, and the present day.  This moving drama has tugged at everyone’s heart strings and made Chrissy a household name.  Before taking over evening TV Chrissy had smaller roles on My Name Is Earl as Chunk, and American Horror Story: Freak Show as Barbara/Ima Wiggles.

Chrissy Metz made a splash at the MTV Movie & TV Awards in an oxblood latex dress with ruffled cap sleeves and a pleated skirt by janedoelatex.

.

While speaking at theCurvycon Chrissy Metz was asked about her different looks and of course the red latex dress she wore to the 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards came up.  The whole world had something to say about that Latex dress.  Chrissy Metz responds to critics of her sexy look by simply saying “The Kardashians do it; why can’t I?”  You can see Chrissy speaking in depth at theCurvycon on this look and how people responded to it here.

 

I agree with Chrissy.  If the Kardashians do it; why can’t I?!  I have been a huge fan of this sexy look latex/rubber look dress.  The latex dress idea isn’t new. However, modern day vixens like Kim Kardashian and Nicki Minaj had me wanting one so so bad.  If I did see them in plus sizes they would either be too costly and if they were affordable they looked like a Halloween costume.  That’s until now.  Club L via ASOS has given me all the sexy I wanted in a rubber dress at an pocket friendly price.

 

&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;<br />

I love how I felt in my dress.  I felt super sexy and confident.  I got the bright idea to wear my dress backwards.  The zipper gives the front a little more detail.  You can see Danielle Brooks of Orange Is The New Black was feeling herself also in this high shine bodycon Club L dress. Danielle is wearing the dress on as intended.

NIKEWOMEN’S PLUS SIZE FASHION EVENT | CHICAGO

Nike air society ..“Nike Air Society exists for you to ignite your creativity and fuel your ambition. Because what’s invisible can make you invincible.” _ Nike Air Society

.

.

I joined Nike Air Society at Nike Chicago located in the heart of downtown Chicago.  Nike Air Society had a plus size fashion talk and the first ever plus size fashion show featuring Nike’s latest plus size fashion looks.

The night was so much fun.  We all enjoyed light bites and drinks.  While waiting for the fashion show we learned about Nike Air innovation.  We also got bra fitting done by Nike experts.  It was nice to check out the new Nike Pro Bra collection.  As you can see in the pictures below there was a Nike Air Society photo booth.  There were even custom Air Society postcards.

Nike Air Society has some bomb “gifts with purchase.”  Some people got Air Society tote and towel.  You could have access to nail art and the Blowout Junkie braid bar.  Some girls got workout appointments at Orange Theory Fitness.  I dance the night away as DJ Megan worked the ones and two.

I’m happy that Nike has become even more inclusive.  It’s great when you can see girls that look like me in workout gear and looking fabulously while doing it.

Gwynnie Bee | Melissa McCarthy Seven7 Jean |Plus Size Review

Gwynnie Bee Melissa McCarthy Seven7 Jeans“Having peace, happiness and healthiness is my definition of beauty. And you can’t have any of that without sleep.” _Beyoncé

.

.

First, let me tell you a little about the Gwynnie Bee service before I get into my review of these Melissa McCarthy Seven7 jeans.  Gwynnie Bee is an online subscription-based clothing rental service.  They provide women’s clothing in sizes 10-32. Members pay a flat monthly subscription fee and are able to rent a large collection of clothing.  Now that you know the secret to my ever changing wardrobe on to the review.

 

Gwynnie Bee Melissa McCarthy Seven7 Jeans ..........

This is my first time trying on Melissa McCarthy Seven7 jean brand.  I didn’t have a personal guide to go on for the sizing of the jeans.  I did use the sizing guide provided by Gwynnie Bee on the website.  I was still was a little worried so I requested a size 18W and 20W in the same jeans.  The jeans are stretch pencil in the cape code wash with side zip pencil.  These medium wash stretch-cotton jeans have a fitted thought leg and a button-closure. The front rise is 12″, Back rise: 17″, Leg opening: 6″, Inseam: 28.5″ (from size 16W).  The jeans do not come with front pockets how they come with zipped back pockets.

Gwynnie Bee .

The jeans make-up are cotton / polyester / spandex.  The paneled seams and classic blue wash, this skinny stretch jean are the contemporary edgy look I love.  I paired the Melissa McCarthy Seven7 Jeans (18W) with this Rolling Stone tee (2X) and these fab shoes.  Now that I’ve fallen in love with these Melissa McCarthy Seven7 Jeans I glad I can purchase them right from Gwynnie Bee.

 

 

These jeans are soft and very comfortable.  The stretch in the jeans is great.  The stretch didn’t give or get loose throughout the day.  The cut made me feel very good about myself while wearing them.  I’m a fan.

 

Gwynnie Bee Melissa McCarthy Seven7 Jeans .........

This is a great look for a girls night or date night or even just hugging the block doing your hood girl Cardi B glow up. Oooooooooooooooow!!

Side note: Are you feeling my new hair style?

My Visit To Eloquii Chicago

Eloquii 8“WE LOVE FASHION. WE BELIEVE IN ITS TRANSFORMATIVE POWER.” _ Eloquii

.

.

Do you know how hard it was for me to keep this secret?  I got a call this past summer from the Eloquii team and they told me that they were opening a pop up location in Chicago.  I could hardly deal after joking about the coming to Chicago.  There’s a different feeling you get when you’re able to try on clothes in-store.  I spoke about that in the post ELOQUII KEEPING IT’S BRICK AND MORTAR STORE IS A PLUS SIZE VICTORY.  With the fast pace life many of live online shopping it’s the way for us to go.  Sometime I need to know this dress will fit because I don’t have another 7 days to wait for another size to come if the dress is still in stock.  Chicago is the 3rd largest market so Eloquii opening here is a no brainier but how they are doing it took a lot of thought.

img_8441

 

I attended the ELOQUII’S VIP BREAKFAST AND CHICAGO STORE SNEAK PEEK so I was able to see the store before it was open to the public.  The store looked like my room when I’m getting ready for a night out.  Clothes and shoes were everywhere.  So my return when the store was done done was an amazing sight.

Casual Friday With Macy’s |#MACYSPLUS #MACYSLOVE

.

.

My Favorite work day is Friday.  That’s only topped by payday Friday.  Friday for me is the open door for the weekend.  My co-worker and I often talk about what we have planned for the weekend.  Often times we both mention how we’re going to Macy’s.  The Macy’s in Chicago is not only an historical place to visit but a great place to shop. Macy’s carries many of the brands I love like Rachel Roy, Almost Famous, Jessica Simpson and Nike. Macy’s makes getting ready for casual Friday a breeze.

A normal Friday in my office is a cake walk.  Must of the higher ups “work from home” and I’m left alone for most of the day.  My co-worker Niecy and I set up the action plan for the day.  We then head out for our much deserved coffee.  Some days when we’re feeling especially hard working we split a lemon loaf.  After returning to the office we spend the rest of the day processing our paperwork and talking about shopping.
