Hello, Dolls
The limited edition Girl with Curves x Lane Bryant collection was released last month! Tanesha Awasthi, better known as Girl With Curves, is a fellow beauty, style and lifestyle blogger that I have been following for years. She announced a few months ago that she was releasing a limited edition collection with Lane Bryant, and I couldn't be more excited for her!!! I have always admired her style, which is fashionable, tasteful and effortless. She features outfits that accentuates her beautiful curves without sacrificing class and modesty.
Her collection is described as "From cozy sweaters and capes elevated by luxe details, expertly pleated skirts, dresses and coats in deep navy and berry tones, floaty blouses and smart layering pieces, to the best fitting jeans you'll ever own, the collection is the perfect blend of classic style infused with a put-together-yet-practical aesthetic." From the pictures on her Instagram profile, I knew that there were several pieces that I definitely wanted, and had to get! Here are a few pieces that I bought and tried on in Lane Bryant.
This was the one piece that I had to get, if nothing else! I love the simple, but chic design of this poncho. Not to mention the faux leather belt just makes it extra stylish; and it gives it that fit and flare look that I love.
A good poncho like this one can be worn all year long. It can be worn with short sleeves in the spring and summer, and layered over long sleeve tops in the fall and winter. I plan to wear this with everything! I can see wearing a skirt or slacks under. It would also look great with faux leather leggings and heels for a night out.
Girl with Curves Pleated Lace Dress
Lace is one of my favorite fabrics ever! I've been searching for a lace dress for years, the issue was they either showed too much skin, too short for my liking, or it didn't come in a plus size. As you can imagine, when I saw this dress in the collection, I wanted it!
Finally, a high quality lace dress that is beautifully made and tasteful. I will admit, that I'm not a fan of the high collar; but, the dress does have buttons that I can unsnap to loosen up the collar. Although, it's a little looser in my waist, it's a true to size fit. I plan to wear a belt with it to cinch it, and to give it a defined shape. In the second picture, I paired it with the faux leather belt from the poncho.
The cape was another must have piece for me! I love capes; they're a classy and stylish accent to any outfit, they keep your arms free, they provide just the right amount of warmth that a jacket and coat provides (without the bulkiness), and no one can tell if you've put on a few pounds wearing a cape.
I don't have a navy cape, and that was one of the reasons that I convinced myself to buy this one :-). One of the great things that I love about this cape is that - it can be dressed up or down. I can definitely wear this with a dress, or a skirt, and, then I can also wear it over a top and some skinny jeans.
