curvy girl fashion: ditsy all day long
Somewhere, my 90's self is extremely happy that not only are fluted sleeves back, but so are ditsy prints. Not that they went away completely, but finding a good floral is not always easy--much of what I've stumbled across is either ho-hum or garish. Whenever I find one I like, I usually snatch it up immediately, whatever the retailer. There's something always classic about a subdued floral. This year, so many ditsy prints are everywhere (see my last entry on old Navy for a couple I recently picked up.) I also recently ordered this one on sale from Modcloth, since I've been stalking a plus size version of a similar dress on Pinterest. Today, I came across a plus size dress feature on Buzz Feed about Walmart's on point dress game and spotted the above bit of lovely for ridiculously cheap and bought that (and two others, one paisley, one navy striped). I now have no money and may be eating ramen this weekend, but really, I'm okay with that because these are GORGEOUS. And these look to be light enough weight to not only be wearable this summer, but with enough coverage to work in other seasons as well. I've got a couple other Walmart dresses, bought in store sometimes when I'm Rockford, and they're actually pretty good quality for so cheap. I've been wearing a navy blue cotton sundress I paid about 8 bucks for on sale for about 5 summers now and it's still a favorite and hasn't fallen apart yet.
