This year I really want to focus on being loud about uplifting other women so I started my “Inspired by Series.” The only rule was that I needed to create outfits with pieces already in my closet…I think we all knew it was just a matter of time until I broke that rule 😬😂 but if I broke it for anyone, I feel zero shame that I broke it to purchase something I saw on @musingsofacurvylady, because she’s someone I’ve been following for a decade and very worth the support!
See the set below and the ways I styled it…and before you ask, yes it was styled with stuff I did already own!
Shop all my size 16/18 and 18/20 looks on my LTK.it.
Outfit 1: Alternative Fashion
Normally I’d go for a 2XL size in anything Amazon as they tend to run small, but this set is very stretchy and the XL fits great!
Below I wanted to showcase the fit from a few angles (a movement started by another amazing woman Chloe Xandria). In complete transparency I am wearing a low compression pair of Spanx, with the intention of smoothing out my stomach more than pulling it in.
Plus Size Friendly Jewelry
Yes, I am labeling this section “plus size friendly,” because finding necklaces that hit at the right length when you have a thicker neck can actually be a challenge. For your reference, you can find my plus size necklace sizing guide HERE.
For me, my preferred necklace length is 19-20″
