Adjustable Necklace - Plus Size Friendly Jewelry at Chico's

Although Chico's is not billed as a plus size boutique, they do offer flexible sizing that equates to a 14/16 or 16/18, depending on the garment. Some pieces are available in tall sizes as well. My interest is in the jewelry. The adjustable length chokers are stunning - like this Azalea Necklace. Metal, stone and leather combine to forge a look that's bold and substantial. (Don't miss the free shipping offer through August 3rd.)

Plus Size Friendly - Daysana Necklace from Chico's

Inbetweenies (size 14/16) may already know about the eclectic offerings at Chico's. I absolutely adore their necklaces. Most have adjustable chain extenders, which allow for a customizable fit. Every one that I've ever purchased has lasted, despite the torture test that my 2 year old puts them through, and I always get compliments on them. This Daysana necklace caught my eye. These colors are just perfect for fall.

(BTW, you can get free shipping on all purchases through August 3rd.)

Say You Actually Needed to Swim...

If you wear a size 16-34W, you may find that a lot of swimsuits available in plus sizes are more ornamental than functional.

I went looking for just such a suit and found plenty like this one at swimsuitsforall.com. This suit has a keyhole back, hits at the natural crease of the leg and fits up to D bra cup sizes.
