I was just poking around in the “New Arrivals” section of Silhouettes (because I love new clothes) and found a couple of things that I almost ordered right on the spot…and so I decided to immediately blog about them.
First, check out this plus-size plaid gauze shirt. It’s so cute! (And it’s available in sizes up to 6X.) I can’t wait to wear this over some cuffed jeans with a couple of bangle bracelets. Right now I’m leaning toward the green version, but I might change my mind and go with magenta instead. I really love everything about this shirt: the ruffles, the cut and style, and more.
Next on my “to buy” list is the ruffle-trim tee. This shirt will look great with cuffed jeans, too. Since I like the t-shirt look but I also like to spice it up, this shirt, with its ruffles and some interesting textures, is perfect.
And finally, I was so excited to see this plus size linen tank dress. It’s linen, which I love for summer, and it’s a cute dress (and I’m always on the lookout for more of those). I can’t wait to wear it with some fun shoes (I’m thinking the orange asymmetric sandal). The empire waist is really flattering, too.
Around the Holidays each year, there's an unspoken dress code that women subscribe to. Our jewels get bigger, our makeup gets bolder and everything seems to be laden with sequins - it's time to celebrate! Adding a few accent pieces to an outfit you already own can instantly make it fresh. Put a new spin on your wardrobe by adding these recommended party-perfect pieces.
Chain and Ball Earrings - $24 A good chandelier (earring) never hurt anyone. Available in silver & gold, these earrings are the perfect compliment to almost any outfit.
Pearl & Chain Bracelet - $29 Pearls make a great accent to more formal Holiday attire. This bold statement on your wrist is a great alternative when necklaces may not be an option.
Long Hammered Necklace - $39 Juxtaposing feminine with edgier pieces is a great way to add style and the mixture of neutral-toned metals allows it to easily compliment many outfits.
Rhinestone Bangle - $39 For the occasion when your outfit doesn't have enough sparkle, turn to this gorgeously shiny bangle. When you can use the words gorgeous, shiny and sparkle in the same descriptive sentence, do you really need another reason to buy it?
Pearl Pendant Necklace - $29 Delicate and classic, this 36" long necklace is incredibly versatile. Keep it long or double the strand for maximum impact. The large ivory detailed pendant also helps to elongate your look.
Rhinestone Hoops - $39 Rhinestone hoops are a year-round classic, but during the Holiday the extra dose of sparkle goes a long way. These 2" hoops give an outfit a classic, youthful flair.
What accessories are you adding to your collection this Holiday season?
The arrival of next season's styles also means the arrival of every girl's favorite accessory - shoes! Whether they're suede boots or metallic flats, it's time to think about which styles you'll be sporting. Gunmetal grays are a hot trend for early fall. If you haven't started planning your wardrobe, we recommend considering the following styles:
Ghillie Pump - $49 Menswear is a huge trend this fall (as you might have noticed from our Fall Fashion Preview post). These spectator-styled open oxfords are the perfect marriage of masculine paired with feminine in an easily, wearable 2" heel.
Essential Skimmer - $29 Honestly, you can't go wrong with a classic flat in fashion colors. There's a reason it's named the "Essential" - it is an essential component to your wardrobe this fall. The only question is how many colors do you want?
Demi Wedge Pump - $59 A new twist on a fall classic, the Demi Wedge is styled in black, emerald and gray. Instantly update any outfit with these runway-inspired pumps.
Three Buckle Riding Boot -$149 Trend-right wide calf boots are tough to find, especially once fall arrives. Silhouettes carries styles in calf widths up to 17" and we suggest snagging your size before they're gone!
