“One is never overdressed or underdressed with a little black dress.” _ Karl Lagerfeld

Why a black dress? Why not?! I have chosen 10 dress from one of my favorite brands to bring a stylish yet affordable listing of plus size dresses perfect for the holiday. All dresses are under $50. So if you’re going to the office holiday party or meeting his family for the first time, there’s something for everyone.

Puff Sleeve Velvet Mini Dress

The of-the-moment look in must-have velvet: our Velvet Mini with Shirred Puff Sleeves – Who What Wear. There’s something fiercely fashion-forward about long-sleeved mini dresses, and ours layers on the luxury with velvet fabric and figure-enhancing shirred shoulders. A no-brainer with heeled booties, or give yourself legs-for-days wearing it with over-the-knee boots.

Lace Shift Dress

If you’ve been holding out for a showstopper, the wait is over: the All-Over-Lace Shift Dress – Who What Wear. Completely sheer from the ruffled neckline through the layered cuffs, with a sweetly simple bodice that looks great over contrasting underlayers. Surprisingly versatile across seasons, the trendsetting dress is well-made and cut to work as a dress or layered tunic-style.

For an easy date night look, keep your accessories minimal and slip into some gold heels and head out in confidence.

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

October 27, 2017April 13, 2024Posted in FASHION & BEAUTY, FASHION & BEAUTY, UncategorizedTagged Chicago Plus Size Blogger, eloquii, FASHION & BEAUTY, FASHION WEEK, Lane Bryant, macy's, mommy blogger, PLUS, plus event, plus size, plus size fashion, thefatgirloffashion4 Comments

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.

“Whether I’m high or low (High or low) I’m gonna tip on the tightrope.” _Janelle Monáe

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.

Vertical Stripe Tights

Geometric Mesh Tights

Medium Dot Tights

Oversized Fishnet Tights

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.

Atlantic-Pacific Opaque Tights

Purple Bergamot

120 Denier Tights

I know that these Lane Bryant Love ME thigh highs aren’t tights but I love them! The “Love me” lace-top thigh highs come with a stay-put silicone lining. They are so sexy!

JCPenney hasn’t really collaborated with celebrities on collections. Off the heels, of collaboration like Rihanna and Puma, Danielle Brooks and Universal Standard plus-size collection, and Gabrielle Union partnership with New York & Company or LaLa Anthony who recently worked with Lord & Taylor it only makes sense for more department store to do so. JCPenney has debuted a Project Runway partnership and ramped up it’s Sephora in-shop stores. Tracee’s collection is the star-infused and I’m sure that the whole collection will sell out in minutes.

Tracee Ellis Ross said she hopes “Empowers women to embrace their joyful spirit.” Here is currently available the details on the Black-ish star collection. Please note: I have reached out to JCPenney and Tracee Ellis Ross for more information on the collection as it relates to plus sizes. When I receive more information this post will be updated.

Each piece of the 45-piece collection was imagined and created by Ross.
The collection includes women’s apparel, accessories, and home decor.

“I think lingerie plays a big part in how you carry yourself.” _ Nicole Richie

Playful Promises has partner with Top style blogger GabiFresh to the launch of an exclusive lingerie collection. After set the internet on fire with the fatkini and 5 swimsuit collections with Swimsuitsforall, her own fashion line Premme Gabi is now jumping feet first into the intimates business.

Playful Promises founder Emma Parker commented “We launched our Curve Collection in 2016 with a number of styles selling out in the first week. We see our collaboration with Gabi as a natural progression of our ethos to make sexy, fashionable lingerie for all body types.”

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.”

Playful Promises carrying sizes up to a 42L!

The collection stand out stars include a black satin pajama set with lace trim, black fishnet lingerie set that comes with a bra and harness cross design and matching highwaisted fishnet briefs.

Gabi is pushing the plus size body into the forefront. First on the beach and not in the bed room! More over Vicky Gabi is coming though!!! Are you in love with collection? Any pieces that are a must have?

You can find the collection at Simply Be, Nordstrom, and Forever 21and of course playfulpromises.com

Why Are You Single? And A Few Other Dumb Questions I’m Always Asked!

“She putting on her make up. She casually allure. Text message break up, the casualty of tour.” _Kanye West (Devil in a New Dress)

Why I’m I single? If I hear that damn question again I just might scream. As I roll my eyes to the back of my head I can vaguely hear in a clown voice “You’re such a pretty girl you such be in a relationship.” That normally followed up by so more bullish I don’t want to hear like I have a friend. Because I was raised well I just smile and give a slight giggle. However, I really want to say “Why have you been with (insert man’s name) for years knowing he’s cheating on you?” or “You’re so pretty you’d think your man would be faithful.” Is that to shady?

The whole conversation makes me so sick. Even more than the when are you having children question. This question is offensive on so many levels. With so many women struggling to have children to ask a question like that can be heartbreaking. Even to assume every woman wants children is very old school thinking.

.

When I’m asked what I do often times my reply depends on who’s asking? The question what’s a blogger is not a dumb question however the questions that follow my answer to that question are often are. In what world is it on to ask ok to ask a person how much they get paid or do you get a lot of free stuff. You won’t ask an accountant how much they’re paid. How about a teacher? As for “free stuff” that’s not the case for many bloggers. They are some “bloggers” who only talk about things they’re paid to talk about. However, many of us are providing our true opinions when the items are free or not.

Another blog question or maybe I should say statement is “Why do you call yourself fat? You shouldn’t say yourself fat.” I get that a lot when I tell people that my blog’s name is The Fat Girl of Fashion. I don’t look at the word fat as an offensively. For me, it’s just another adjective. Just like petite, or beautiful. I’m happy being fat and I don’t allow other’s issue make me feel any other way.

This is another statement but I felt the need to add it this fun post. You don’t have children so you don’t have responsibilities. This statement tickles me ever time. As if bills only arrive at your doorstep when you start a family. Stop telling people without children they don’t have responsibilities or limitation. I have so many bills I won’t date a man named William.

This question came up at theCurvycon. When someone says to a plus size person you have so much confidence. When someone says that to me I would like to myself like what?! As if my dress size should make me less confident. If I was a size 6 my confidence wouldn’t even be in question. I found it funny (not) that so many attendees have experienced the same issue.

Why do women who not wear makeup and or weave feel the need to tell me with a beat face and a long Nicki weave they don’t wear makeup and or weave. Sis, I can see that. Hell Ray Charles can see that. Because I choose to wear makeup or a cranial prosthesis doesn’t make me any less a natural woman. I love a good highlight so deal with it!

What are some of the dumb things people say to you? What are some of the dumbest questions you get asked? This is a safe space go ahead and vent, lol. Leave in the comments your own crazy question or share your response if any of mine are the same as yours.

“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.

For the record, I wear what I want, when I want. News flash it’s

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;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 /><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.

Danielle Brooks in black Club L dress. She’s also wearing an ASOS curve cotton jacket with tie waist & Ivy Kirzhner shoes.

My Measurements:

– Wearing size US 20
– My height is 5’0″
Size I normally order 16/18/20 or 2x

This plus-size dress by Club L is made of high shine smooth fabric. There is added stretch for comfort. It has a scoop neck and sleeveless design. The midi length close-cut bodycon fit dress has an exposed zip-back fastening.

It feels good to have options! There are many looks I wish came in my size so I want to give Club L and ASOS a huge thank for offering this hot look I wanted.

Plus Size Petite And Feeling Great! Cherry Blossom Jacquard Kimono

“When you have completed 95 percent of your journey, you are only halfway there.” _Japanese Proverb

My recent visit to New York for New York Fashion Week has taught me so much about myself. Every time I leave Chicago I take with me all that I’ve learned from being born and raised in the city of big shoulders. This world will chew you up and spit you out if you let it. Are you good enough? Are you pretty enough? Are you thin enough?What are you wearing? Are you on trend? So many thoughts swirling in my head. Self-doubt can creep in so fast.

Your mind can play tricks on you. Having you believing everyone is doing so much better than you. And that you will never be good enough. What’s a girl to do? I personally stop and thank God for keeping me in my right mind. Take a moment and speak to your God or higher power. Connecting with something greater than myself helps me remember the world is much bigger than myself and what I’m going through. I like to reflect on how far I’ve come. Be grateful for the small blessing is a way I make it through each day.

Am I good enough? Yes! Social media is nothing but a big Bow Wow Challenge. That’s why I only compete with myself. I am my only competition. I don’t worry about the next person and what they’re doing. Am I pretty enough? Am I thin enough? Yes! I don’t let the mainstream media tell me what’s beautiful. I love my round face and brown skin. I am gorgeous just the way I am. I do work to improve but not to change. There is a huge difference.

ASOS Kimono in Cherry Blossom Jacquard ....

What are you wearing? Are you on trend? More often than not I’m wearing something from my favorite brand ASOS. The site is updated daily so I’m always on trend. They speak to my personal style. So I don’t worry about what others are wearing because I’m comfortable in my ASOS style choices. As you can see above with some of the kimono options above you have so many choices that you can freely create a look that speaks to your own personal style.

The kimono I picked is from the straight sizes. I’m wearing a size 14. I am plus size yet petite in height so this over sized jacket worked great as a dress on me. I opted not to wear a formal top but a Lane Bryant bra. The jacket did open slightly at the bottom so I added a burgundy faux leather mini skirt in a patent finish (size 3X). I got these Gucci glasses for a steal while doing some retail therapy. The purple in them worked so well with the pink green and white of the kimono. The shoes from Aldo come with velcro straps and are super comfortable and easy to get in and out of. Cute pink lippie and earrings and this look is done and done.

If you’re looking for more style ideas. Wear your kimono as a true jacket and add in a shirt and jeans. However, if you choose to wear it just add touches that make your personal style shine through.

I want to give my photographer Party Girl Photography a special thank you for these amazing photos. You were a dream to work with. I received the kimono compliments of the ASOS Curves, however; All opinions are my own.

“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.
