As someone who is short (5’3″) and with a large bust (36 F), it’s hard to find wrap dresses that fit. They are often too low-cut, and even more often do not have enough fabric to properly cover my bust area. I’ve become used to safety pins strategically placed inside the dress to hold it… Continue Reading Universal Standard Tiered Twirl Wrap Dress: A Bust-Friendly Wrap Dress
I shared these pants from the Black woman-owned fashion brand Evryday Jane in my Friday Shop post. These are the kind of pants you buy not because you’re trying to whittle your waist or “flatter your figure” but because they are unique and fun and architectural while also being super comfy. Oh, and I have… Continue Reading Evryday Jane Nia Volume Pants
I shared in a recent Friday Shop post that I had dreams of being a “21st Century Mrs. Roper” but didn’t like how I looked or felt in caftans. While the whole internet seems to be in love with the concept of a nap dress, I’ve been gravitating towards elevated athleisure. But with a recent… Continue Reading A Tale of Two Caftans
Can you believe fall is almost here? While I’m still wearing my shorts and sundresses, I know I need to start thinking about my fall wardrobe.

I can’t think of anything better to wear to stay cool in the summer heat than linen and mesh. However, such fabrics can look sloppy, and are also known for being transparent. This look I wore for an outdoor socially distant event. It was a hot evening in July and I was comfortable the whole… Continue Reading Staying Cool in the Summer Heat
In yesterday’s post on what to wear to a movie premiere, I mentioned I recently got the Universal Standard Tresa Wide Leg Pant in petite. I figured it made sense to show the pants with the blouse on me to help explain the look I created in the blog post. In the post I suggested… Continue Reading Figure Flattery and Full Leg Pants
Each season, there seems to be a handful of super cheap fashion items on Amazon that go viral. As a blogger, I know that Amazon really pushes their fashion with plenty of perks, therefore influencers push Amazon. Amazon converts well because the pricepoint and shipping is awesome. Also, if you click on this fashion item… Continue Reading #AmazonNightgown Dress Review: Will it Fit a Large Bust or Large Size?
I began this discussion yesterday on Instagram, but here on the blog, I can write more. It’s also far easier for me to share my thoughts with both hands on the keyboard instead of attempting to be coherent with two thumbs. I am 5’3″ tall, the average height of an American woman in 2019. I… Continue Reading Banana Republic Leopard Maxi Shirtdress
