One of the first staple pieces I purchased.

Hey friends! It’s Wednesday and we are full steam ahead into #NSale picks. Today I am covering wardrobe staples. If you missed any of the previous days you can click here and here

for my activewear and loungewear picks. They say that with age comes wisdom, and when it comes to clothing one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned over the years is you get what you pay for.

With that being said, I firmly believe in investing in high quality pieces that will last instead of cheaply made fast fashion that may last a season if they don’t unravel in the wash. It’s better to spend a bit more for something well made that you can wear year after year. Giving you my picks after the jump!

Coats & Jackets

If you want to pull an outfit together quickly throwing on the right jacket or coat can make all the difference. Blazers are a great statement piece. I found a couple of great plus size options here and here. This blazer comes in several colors and this camo utility jacket goes up to a 3x.

Fall will be here before we know it and Sam Edelman has some beautiful plus size options. A classic trench and this baby blue statement coat. This camel coat from Kenneth Cole and this dark grey coat are great classic pieces to go with any outfit.

Pants

The faux leather leggings from Spanx are undefeated. I have a camo pair and they are perfect. I recommend getting them in black, and their available in both regular and plus sizes.

Every woman needs a good pair of jeans. It doesn’t get more classic than a dark wash. I prefer a dark wash skinny jean. Wit & Wisdom has some great options in regular and plus sizes.

Blouses & Sweaters

Keeping with the them classic a button down never goes out of style. Treasure & Bond has us covered in this beautiful baby blue and white stripped number. In both regular and plus sizes. A couple of beautiful camisoles in magenta and leopard print. When sweater weather hits this camel sweater and baby blue sweater are perfect for layering up.

This wraps up my #nsale clothing picks. For what it’s worth every item I shared has a plus or extended sizing option. As a plus-size woman I know how difficult it can be to shop and the options are never as plentiful or as cute. I only picked items that I truly liked and would wear myself. Let me know what you’re picking up!

Current mood: Lounge, but make it fashion.

Oh hey it’s day 2 of my Anniversary sale coverage! If you missed day one, you can can check it out here. I covered all things activewear. Today we are covering loungewear. Most of us are spending alot of time at home these days, and we want to be put together, but comfortable. That’s where lounge wear comes in. You can lay on the couch and binge watch a new show and hop on a Zoom call right after. See my pics after the jump!

Joggers

So I was late to the joggers game, but I am fully onboard these days. I never wore sweatpants because I always felt like no matter what you did they looked sloppy. Sloppy is not cute. This is where joggers come into play. They provide the comfort of sweatpants but their tapered eliminating the slouch factor. Our good friend Zella has us covered for basic black in both regular and plus. I love a pop of color so these baby blue joggers are perfect, as well as these pink ones.

Cozy Sweaters

It’s still pretty hot around these parts but before we know it the weather will turn ( thank God) and a chill will be in the air. I personally try to avoid paying an arm and a leg in heating bills, so this is where bundling up comes into play. This leopard print number is gorgeous, and this striped one is right up my alley. For those of us that prefer more toned down colors you cant go wrong with a classic grey, or an army green. Both of these come in several other colors too!

Robes

Nothing says lounging quite like a soft plush robe. This chenille grey robe and this UGG number are my picks.

That’s a wrap on the loungewear friends. Let me know in the comments if you pick up something cozy!

Working out my fitness.

Happy Monday friends! This week I am going to be covering my Nordstrom anniversary sale picks. I surveyed y’all, and activewear was the most requested item. I have started working out consistently in the past several months, and know from first hand experience that you need dedicated workout clothes. Let’s be real, workout funk, and regular funk are too different beasts. Sharing my recs after the jump!

First up, leggings I have a few different brands I recommend. Zella is number one my wish list. Specifically their high waist leggings. They come in regular , plus, and maternity for any expectant mamas.

Spanx also make great leggings. I own a pair of the faux leather camo leggings and they are super slimming. They’re available in regular and plus.

Last but not least, Beyond Yoga. I kept seeing this brand pop up in my ads and asked members of a Facebook group I’m in if they were worth the hype. The response was overwhelmingly positive, so I’m including their high waisted leggings as well.

Next up for my shorts people the Nike dri fit are a must. They come in regular and plus. Biker shorts have made a big comeback lately which is both a blessing as a curse. The blessing is that they are easier to find, the curse is that people want to wear them with regular outfits and It’s a hard pass for me.

With that being said, I think they are great for high impact workouts where you might be doing lots of cardio. Spanx has a great option from sizes XS-3X.

I personally am all about a sleveless tank when I workout. Zella has us covered in both regular and plus. For my ladies that prefer sleeves, Zella and Nike have us covered.

Last but not least, sports bras. Working out in regular bra is a recipe for disaster. Nike coming thru with great plus size options here and here. Wacoal makes a padded sports bra up to 42DDD, and Zella once again coming thru with a longline bra option.

That’s it for loungewear folks! Hopefully, you can find something you like in these recommendations. Let me know what caught your eye in the comments.
