I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m ready for winter to end, already. I’m looking forward to sunny skies and a chance to go outside with less layers. That sent me on a mission to find fun sundresses to play in when the mercury rises just a tidge.
The good news? Mission accomplished! I found some pretty clothes to dream about. Let’s share the dream, shall we?
This pretty embroidered rayon sundress from Ulla Popkin comes in three colors and sizes up to 36/38. It’s machine washable, too, which is always a big selling point with me.
Over at Newport News, there’s a dress sale going on, including this lovely linen dress with drawstring neckline.
It’s available in four colors up to size 24, and has been marked down to just $44.00.
If you like to keep your shoulders and upper arms covered, here’s a cute and comfortable-looking option from Catherines .
It comes up to size 5X and is decorated with tonal embroidery and beading. Nice.
I, too, am ready for spring.
But, I can’t help myself: it’s FEWER layers, not less. “Layers” is a countable noun.

Lol….erm, English major???
I live in Florida where there isn’t a Winter. We can dress almost any way we want to year round. I only wish we had Seasons.

It’s summer here down under. Tis a lovely one too!
I just did a big online shop for spring/summer pieces and hope this weather does on for as long as possible as our winter is wet and cold and our homes not so well insulated….luckily I am ;)

I live in Florida and I miss seasons too. Although, it is nice to know that I can (and will) go to the beach today.

I live in Oklahoma where it’s really freakin’ cold! We got a few good days of 50+ degree weather that was just enough to get us all panting for a few sunny days.
Irritation aside, those are some really cute dresses. I love the green one!

Now, I can’t tell if your trying to be sarcastic or not. ;) I do love the banner ads going on next to the article with the skiiiinnny models in it. Whats wrong with models with a little meat on the bone like the ones at the plus store we all know who can’t be bigger then a size 12 (Plus size my beauty booty).

Shush_u, I don’t pick the models, or the company policies that lead to their hiring. I just try to find pretty clothes available in not-tiny sizes.
I do, however, absolutely agree with you that plus size clothing companies should hire models who can wear the clothes they make.
Oh, and July, I stand corrected. I actually do know better. Brainfarts hurt. Ow.
