Jjill Plus Size Dress - Scarf and Stack Heeled Boots
This look from Jjill is great for business casual or dressy casual wear. The long dress with scoop neckline is un-fussy, with great lines. Calf length, stack heel boots are essential to pulling this look off. The scarf adds some visual interest and seasonal flare to an otherwise too plain ensemble. Dress available in sizes up to 4X for $119-$129, scarf - $39, Boots $199.

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.

All available in sizes from 14-28 from Lane Bryant.

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.

Spring '09 Plus Size Fashion - Caroline Rose at Neiman Marcus
In my quest for the latest in plus size fashion, I get really frustrated with the way that clothing companies do their marketing. Specifically, I HATE when the clothes aren't even shown on a 'plus size' model (that's another topic - don't even get me started, folks.) How in blue blazes am I supposed to tell what this piece of clothing is going to fit like on someone who has, oh, i don't know, actual flesh?? Please! If you're out there and paying any attention, designers, please know that there are women out there who want nice, fashionable clothing, who are willing to pay good money for it, who are not a size 0.
Okay, done ranting for now. Here's a pretty spring ensemble by Caroline Rose at Neiman Marcus. The crinkle jacquard shirt and shell are made in the USA of imported French material, and create a warm monochromatic effect when worn together. The white linen pants feature a straight leg cut and elastic waist. All available in sizes 1X - 3X.

Style and Co. Plus Size Floral Top at Macys

I like this plus size
floral top by Style and Co. because it reminds me of a painting. The fabric and cut are modern, dramatic and most decidedly sophisticated. Wear this top with straight or wide leg pants and a bit of attitude. Available in sizes 1X - 3X at Macys.com

Jag Jeans Louisa Stretch Denim Trouser
Trouser jeans are big this year, and I like them because they make a casual fabric like stretch denim more dressy. You can wear them everywhere and match them with a fuzzy sweater for daytime and a shimmering top for evening. These plus size Jag Jeans denim trousers at Nordstrom.com, are a nice choice. Available in sizes 14 - 24 in dark navy, with a 33 inch inseam.
