Life
I love summer. I love the change in the weather, outdoor festivals, and the expectations of summer getaways. Of course there's one thing that beats all of this, a new summer wardrobe. I didn't always feel this way. Growing up, I wondered why were plus size women only offered the three basic shades of white, black, and tan pedal pushers, while smaller sizes had an array of choices with vivid prints and colored shorts. Why were there so many plus size summer fashion rules? Why was my wardrobe possibilities limited due to the lack of plus size clothing options? Fast forward to today and you will find a different type of girl. I now take pride in breaking those rules of what not to wear and not following any of those plus size summer fashion rules.
And this summer is the best time to bend the supposed rules. This summer, there are a wide range of fashion trends to inspire. From the psychedelic prints and fringe of the ‘70s to new edgy leather looks, there are a lot of trends to take advantage of. And with some tips from fellow plus size bloggers, beauties, and everyday cuties, you can rock these trends and break the summer fashion "rules" for plus size girl.
