We are back today with another edition of the #30PlusStyle!
Today’s challenge was one of Pantone’s leading colors for Fall 2014 Sangria! It’s
such a bold color that I knew I wanted something flirty, sexy and feminine for
this challenge. I was amazed at how much I found in the Sangria color family available
in plus-size clothing from leather skirts, dresses, pants, and outerwear.
I fell in love with the dress on Boohoo’s site and was ecstatic
when I saw it came in a shade of Sangria. I immediately fell in love with the
bold color and ruffled top. But alas when I received the dress it did not fall
in love with me, le sigh. It was way too tight around my belly and I wasn’t
comfortable wearing it. I had no idea what I was going to do. I contemplated
sending it back but I loved the way the top fit so much I that I came up idea
to tuck into a skirt and make it a top. Voilà,
a look was born. One of the things I
realized that growing up plus size made me and a lot of you resourceful with
our wardrobe. I spent years working with my seamstress, changing details and
retooling items to create the looks I wanted. I don’t want to lose this spirit
just because I have more shopping resources available to me. Have you ever not wanted to give up on an item
and end up using it for something else?
