For today's Special Post Saturday...it was requested that we do a post regarding fashionable looks that cater to the curvy women out there who aren't a "size 2"! There are quite a few celebrities out there who have curves that are really fly like Amber Riley from Glee....Look at her Essence photoshoot to the left..JEALOUS!!

So with that being said, we're going to go ahead and get started and show you some items and break down how to get the looks we've been talking about in our Summer Series 2 (Summer prints and colors). Those 4 looks will be stripes, orange, animal print, and color-blocking. Also, we did a special post on blazers last Saturday so we'll show you how to achieve a cute blazer look as well!! Let's get started!
LOOK 1....Stripes for the summer...
Okay start with this Colorful Stripes Top from Forever21. This is a great summer top because it is light-weight so you won't burn up outside and the colors are bright which screams summertime! For bottoms...you can do this pair of Denim Black Skinny Jeans also from Forever21. For shoes you can do a pair of casual sandals like these Black Multi-Strap Sandals or dress the top up with this pair of Suede Covered Platform Pumps both from Charlotte Russe. For accessories do something like this pair of Silver Textured Hoop Earrings and a bangle like this Silver/Gold Textured Pyramid Bracelet and this Lime/Blue Peacock Bracelet and you are all set!!
Moving right along to Look 2...the color orange for the summer..
The color orange is always a great summer color because it is so bright which typically summer wardrobe colors are. Let's start with this Neon Orange Bright Basic Tee. This is a really versatile meaning it can be dressed up and down with ease and we'll tell you how.
To dress the tee casually...keep it simple with this pair of Indigo Denim Bermuda Shorts. For shoes, just do a pair of flat sandals like these Tan Braided T-Strap Sandals or this pair of Brown Floral Flats. Accessorize the outfit with a simple pair of gold stud earrings and something like this Gold Trumpet Charm Necklace.
To dress the tee up...try this Charcoal/White Polka Dot Bodycon Skirt. For shoes try this pair of Purple Suede Covered Platform Pumps and accessorize the rest of the outfit with a pair of gold hoop earrings and a bangle set like these Geo Pop Bangles!
Okay LOOK 3...Animal Print for the summer!!
Okay...before we jump into this tip...can we ALL just look to the left and say... "Allllrigghhttttt.. WORK!" Lol...No but really...when we say she is SELLING the clothes...she is SELLING them!!
Okay so we know this is a dressy look...so let's just start with that first. This Foil Leopard Dress will look great paired with a pair of Bright Orange Platform Pumps. If you get cold then just throw on a black blazer and cuff the sleeves. As far as accessories go..just do a pair of gold studs since the dress is already an eye-catching material and do a simple bangle like this Gold/Light Brown Geo Pattern Bangle.
Okay for a more casual look with animal print. You can start with this pair of Camel/Brown Leopard Print Skinnies. For a top can do a plain nude tee or you can do this Scoop Neck Cami in the nude color and layer this Navy/Red Varsity Boyfriend Cardigan. For shoes and accessories just do a black sandal or flat and a pair of large gold hoops.
Lastly...Look 4...Colorblock for the summer.
Color-blocking your outfits is really in this summer and is always a cute look for the summer because the mix of bright summer colors.
To get a casual colorblock look, look to the right..you can do that pair of Rust Colored Cuffed Skinny Pants. For a top you can do this V-Neck Cotton Tee in the teal color color. Now for shoes and accessories..try this pair of Cream Canvas Wingtips, a pair of gold hoops, and Yellow Rose Print Bangle to pop against the teal and the rust colors.
To get a dressy colorblock look for the summer...start with this Red Solid Bandage Skirt and pair it with this Solid Scoop Neck Cami in the JADE color. This definitely pops against the red skirt. Now instead of throw a cardigan or blazer on top of the cami...try this Destroyed Denim Jacket in the DARK DENIM color. For shoes, try a pair of these Platform Pumps in the NUDE color. As far as accessories go.. just do a pair of large gold hoops and a plain yellow bangle to add another pop of color.
Like we stated before...we did a special post on Blazers for the ladies last Saturday and we're going to show you a blazer below you can dress up or down and tell you how.
Okay so to dress this Heather Grey/Black Striped Blazer casually...you can start with this pair of Woven Skinny Pants in the Eggplant color and pair this White Patch Pocket Tank Top with them. For shoes you can do a pair of Black Perforated Leatherette Oxfords. To accessorize this outfit just do a simple pair of silver studs and maybe a necklace similar to this Silver Lighting Bolt Necklace.
To dress this blazer up pair this Solid Bandage Skirt in YELLOW with this Solid Scoop Neck Cami in the Magenta color. For shoes and accessories just to this pair of Suede Covered Platform Pumps and you can do the same silver studs and silver lightning bolt necklace!
