I spice it up and add a dash of cool by donning a funky homemade t-shirt\u00a0 fringe scarf (<a href=\"http:\/\/sewing.wonderhowto.com\/how-to\/recycle-your-old-clothes-into-trendy-fringe-scarf-412283\/\" target=\"_blank\">tutorial here<\/a>) instead of a necklace. I pack a punch with cheap but chic gas station sunglasses and use simple black leggings and mint t- strap sandals to complete the look.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bloomin&#8217; Business Casual<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Plus-Size-Fashion-Outfit-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1727\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Plus-Size-Fashion-Outfit-2-1024x523.jpg\" alt=\"Plus Size Fashion Outfit 2\" width=\"1024\" height=\"523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Plus-Size-Fashion-Outfit-2-1024x523.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Plus-Size-Fashion-Outfit-2-300x153.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI made my hair look all fancy using this very <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nHy8hOnQj6A\" target=\"_blank\">simple tutorial<\/a> I love. Its seriously is so easy peasy and your hair looks gorgeously curly when you take it out. Hell yeah, two day dirty hair that still looks deliciously good.\u00a0 I brought the tangerine accents in the Penelope dress forward by\u00a0 adding my pretty and perfectly peach blazer from Target.\u00a0 It gives this look a classy corporate style an unexpected pop. I kept all other accents very neutral and simple- black peep toe flats, a cocktail ring and vintage pearl earrings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Peonies be Popping<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Plus-Size-Fashion-Blog-Outfit-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1725\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Plus-Size-Fashion-Blog-Outfit-3-1024x574.jpg\" alt=\"Plus Size Fashion Blog Outfit 3\" width=\"1024\" height=\"574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Plus-Size-Fashion-Blog-Outfit-3-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Plus-Size-Fashion-Blog-Outfit-3-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe final look is made to surprise. I use one of favorite style tricks and lengthen this\u00a0 party dress by adding a black tutu underneath. The tutu adds length and structure- which is important. That way the dress won&#8217;t fly up while I&#8217;m getting down with my bad self. I added some visual interest by adding a thick black leather bow belt and metallic leather earrings. I created an unexpected charm to the look by ditching heels for reflective mint loafers. I love pairing unusual flats with dressy looks, you&#8217;re more comfortable AND you make a statement,<\/p>\n<p>A huge thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.karinadresses.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Karina Dresses<\/a> for providing this sassy frock for me to wear and style as I pleased. I truly loved it and I can&#8217;t wait to take this glorious garb for a night on the town. The vintage floral is amazing and I love that the colors in the print are bright and unexpected. It&#8217;s not your typical floral dress. FYI: They didn&#8217;t pay me to say that. I have truth syndrome. I can&#8217;t lie.\u00a0 I love this dress!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Super excited to create my own style spin on this amazing Karina Dress.
