Michelle Resendiz- Chicago, Il.

Spring has to be my favorite time of year. I love it… the flowers are blooming, the sun is shining, the rain is pouring…. you get a little of everything in this season. But most of all I love the new beginnings it brings. Spring is a time where most of us clean out our closets and get rid of the old, bring in the new, clean up around the house, etc. Let’s clean up our act while we are at it and get some cute spring-y dresses shall we?

I encourage you to try these dresses from Torrid.com, they are perfect for spring and summer. The colors are beautiful and that’s what’s in right now… color blocking, bright colors and patterns, flowers and polka dots, stripes and more!

Plus size Fashion Spring Boho Chic

Michelle Resendiz – Chicago, IL.

In my quest to find the hottest trends for all my Plus Size Beauties out there, I always come across some sweet looking dresses. I usually have to really pick through them, because that seems to be a theme with me in the Spring and Summer months. DRESSES DRESSES DRESSES! Think about it… it’s beautiful outside, the wind is blowing, and wearing a comfortable flowing dress sounds just perfect doesn’t it? SO, here are some more spring and summer dresses for all my Boho Chic Babies out there.

This batwing boho is perfect for warm weather, and look how great it looks with some nude or bone colored heels! I love this dress. I would pair this with a cropped jean jacket, ‘Smooth Sailing’ nail polish by Essie, and some bone colored flats…. IN LOVE!

I’m a sucker for prints. Anything Aztec, stripes, polka dots… you name it Michelle loves it. Sometimes, however, prints are not the most flattering of things for a big girl to wear. Finding the right kind of print is the hardest thing to do. Here’s some simple tricks that I can teach you.

• Opt for something a little more form-fitting and not so ‘hangy’! It’s true, and I know that it sounds backwards but it’s not. If you get into a dress that’s too big and just hangs off of you, you are going to look like you are in a potato sack. I’m sure that not the look you are going for!
• Show a little skin! There is nothing sexier than a girl who loves herself, and her body. Be proud of who you are, and wear what God gave you with pride! This dress, I particularly love, because it’s a nice off the shoulder dress… and showing a little shoulder is very sexy ladies!
• Do it with a belt! Belts around the mid section aren’t the easiest thing to pull off ,but if you can it’s a little known secret that it shrinks your mid section. Belts show off your waist, and even if it’s not the smallest area it gives the illusion that it is.

I love this color, but this dress is available online in many others you might like better! Check it out at Jessica London. In fact, all of these dresses are all found at Jessica London…
