It's A Trip

By Silhouettes · January 12, 2011 · 0 Comments · 9 Views

Sometimes it’s fun to bring back old styles and get retro for a bit. Want to release your inner love child and go back in time? These 60s-inspired pieces are just the thing to make you feel peace and happiness.

This beautiful embroidered plus-size blouse is light and airy and feminine, with a cool empire-waist style. The crochet detail at the neck and sleeves adds a nice touch of hippie-inspired flair.

The peasant blouse is an old favorite, and this updated version is great for any season. In the winter, pair it with long pants, boots and flats, or maybe a skirt.

Now you just need some bell bottoms and beads and you’re on your way back to the 60s!

Life on the Farm

I’m a girl who loves to take vacations (who doesn’t?) and summer is the perfect time. One of my cool summer trips this year is to a farm! (And I’m a girl who loves mani/pedis and high heels, so this should be interesting). Anyway, I’m excited to see my friends, help in their giant garden, bring in some hay bales (what?!) and hopefully get to pet some baby animals.

I’m going to try not to get all girly-girl about the wardrobe. But I really do want some casual clothes that would be fun and have a relaxed country feel. So I hit up the chambray section of silhouettes.com and found this plus size chambray smock that seems comfy and relaxed. I’ll wear it with jeans or capris while we do the chores or something.

The other fun shirt is this embroidered chambray square-neck blouse. I love the hippie-ish style (I’ll pretend I’m on a hippie commune) and I like the way it highlights my best features and skims over the not-so-great ones. And the fun cross-stitch detail seems very Little-House-on-the-Prairie-in-a-good-way. I will rock this one in the evenings when we’re sitting around drinking homemade mint tea and watching the fireflies.

But of course you don’t have to be visiting a farm to get some fun and relaxing plus size chambray clothes. These are casual and comfortable for everyday fun, weekends, and vacation. Just relax!
