Jjill Plus Size Knit Trimmed Linen Skirt

How much do I love my Jjill
knit trimmed linen skirt? I bought one in the 'flax' color, and it's my new go-to piece for summer. It's so cool in the hot weather, and the knit 'sweatpants' style waistband is very comfortable. The godet insets add a bit of movement to the fabric and it dresses up just as easily as it works for everyday wear. Available in plus sizes 1X-4X, in black, white, flax and 'deep sea' blue. If you're an 18/20, save yourself the plus size upcharge and try size XL first.

Plus Size Tweed Vest and Pants for Spring 2009

I saw this plus size
tweed vest and pants outfit in person at Lane Bryant this past weekend, and it was
very cute. If I had to dress for an office environment, I would have definitely scooped it up. In fact, it's so cute that this outfit is already sold out online. If you want one, you have to march your booty down to your local store and get it there while they last.
