I'm a Shopping Expert Who Is Also Plus-Sized—31 Styles Swirling Through My Brain This Month


If you're like me, then summer is top of mind. I've been imagining myself outdoors, soaking up some serious sun and hanging out with my besties. Maybe you have a beach vacation or two locked in. Perhaps there's a fun picnic in your near future. Either way, there's no denying the plethora of sun-filled activities summertime brings into your life. As a shopping expert and plus-size fashion person, I've seen some seriously pretty styles recently that'll channel summer in the chicest way.
From flowing dresses and skirts to gorgeous swimsuits, there's a wide range of pieces to tackle just about every summer dressing need (and want) you have. Standout pieces in the mix include Wray's gingham pieces, the cutest checkered swimsuit, and a goddess-like Arrange dress from ASOS that is perfect for a beachside wedding. Keep scrolling to uncover these pieces and many more finds ahead.
