I recently discovered a brand new plus size boutique on Instagram that I really want to share with y'all! I stumbled across Pretty Curvy Boutique on Instagram and absolutely LOVED their mission. Pretty Curvy aims to offer cute and affordable clothing options beyond just the standard "plus sizes" that typical stores offer. With sizes up to 6X, and even featuring models of all shapes and sizes, this boutique is truly a breath of fresh air!
The store opened a few months ago, so it's still pretty new, but they're already killing it! They offer a wide variety of styles, from basics to statement pieces and from preppy to edgy. The store is located in south Georgia, where they host occasional pop-up shops for those in the area, but they also have an online store, so plus size ladies can shop from ANYWHERE! I ordered a couple of outfits and was so in love with all of these pieces that I couldn't wait to share them with you, so let's dive right on it!
Outfit #1: Their Basic Lavender Dress is the perfect dress for spring and I'm OBSESSED!
This knee-length swing dress has long sleeves, so it's such a great transition piece. Since it's still pretty chilly out, I rocked it with some OTK boots, but when it gets a little warmer, I can switch to booties or even sandals. The dress is simple, which makes it perfect for being a spring wardrobe staple in your closet this season! You can style it so many different ways. Mix it with different shoes and accessories to give it a new vibe every time you wear it. I got the dress in size 3X and it fits perfectly on me. The fabric is nice and thick, so it actually feels like good quality and doesn't show literally everything. I usually find dresses like this, especially for the cost, tend to be on the thinner side and really show all of my cellulite and rolls, but this is a great middle-ground between being lightweight and super thick.
It's all in the little details, so my favorite best part of this dress is definitely the tan elbow patches! They give this dress that fun little special touch you're looking for! I'm a sucker for elbow patches -- it's just enough to give it a little something extra, while still allowing it to be a basic. Oh, and let's not forget... it has POCKETS! Enough said. 😉
I jazzed up the dress with their Silver Feather Necklace. They had several other adorable necklaces to choose from, but I love the versatility of silver jewelry, so this was my top pick. It's such a fun charmed piece, featuring a large silver feather, light purple tassel, and beaded chain hanging down. It's nice and long, so the length fills in the simplicity of the dress. Plus, the tassel matches is perfectly!
Outfit #2: This outfit includes my favorite piece of all -- this super adorable Ombre Sweater!
Anyone who knows me know that I LOVE all things ombre, so this top was definitely a no-brainer. Plus, the shades of blue in it are literally everything! I'm also a big fan of gauzey materials, so this pretty much hits the mark in every category for me. I'm wearing a 3X, which has a looser fit on me. I like for most of my tops to be a bit oversized, so this actually worked out perfectly for my taste, but I also could've sized down to a 2X for a slightly more form fit.
Since I did opt for a bigger size, it also made the top perfect for playing around with. I'm a huge fan of knotting tops and dresses to give them a little extra flare, and with the ombre effect, it actually looks really cool to tie up the top in the front or to the side. Whether you style it up or just let it lay loose, this is really such a fun top!
This top would go great with most any pair of jeans. I paired it with their Distressed Jeans, which are AMAZING! I'm wearing a size 22 and they fit perfectly! Ordering pants online is always risky for us plus size ladies (especially me -- my shape is just so difficult to fit) but I was so relieved to find that these fit like a glove! Not too big, not too small, no gap in the back... and best of all, they fall right where I want -- just above my belly button!
The wash on these are on the medium to darker side, so they're nice and versatile. The distressed details are great and make them perfect for giving some extra spunk to any outfit! I'll also note that the distressing is done in a way that you shouldn't need to worry about it shredding to pieces after only a few washes. These jeans are solid and will 100% be going into my regular rotation, so you can expect to see them again with some new outfits in the future!
So there you have it! If you're looking for ACTUAL plus size sizes, Pretty Curvy is definitely one to add to your watch list for quality, cute, and affordable plus size fashion! I can't wait to watch them grow and see what kinds of new styles they come out with next! In the mean time, there's a super adorable Leopard Print Top that I've had my eye on and might just have to get. 😉
So tell me... which of these two looks is YOUR favorite?
xoxo,
Carmen
