My Plus-Size Picks for Spring!

It's not exactly a secret that finding cute, trendy plus-sized clothing can be a bit of a challenge.  In fact, it really bothers me that I even have to use the word plus-size, because in Europe where I am from, a size 10 is not considered plus, it's considered normal!  But this is America, and if you're not a size 2 I guess you're considered to be plus sized!  The message this sends to young women who are still developing is very negative, and body image issues are rife among young girls.  However, thanks to increased visibility from retailers like ASOS, the search is at least a little less tedious than before.  I've picked a few items that are available now from pretty, frilly dresses to work-appropriate gear.

And ladies young and old, if you're not a size 2 or even a size 10, don't beat yourself up over it - you're still beautiful!


Ready to meet your new everyday casual dress?  Here you go!  This is available at Target and is super affordable.




This top is so effortlessly cool, and I think it'll be really versatile; plus the long, light sleeves are perfect for spring.  Available at ASOS.



This is one of my favorite picks.  Get a little fancier in this cool scarf-print dress - perfect for work or a trip to the museum as well as a multitude of other things too....love this!  Also available at ASOS.



Get in on the colored jean trend with these bright blues!  Lighter than regular washes but also not too out-there!




White eyelets couldn't be more perfect for spring, and I think this top was done really well.  Available at Old Navy.




The denim vest is a summer staple - and I like how this one is slightly cropped and form-fitting.  The silhouette is so cute.




I'm loving this leather spin on the typical work-ready blazer.  Available from Lane Bryant.




This pretty, frilly dress will be your go-to for all outdoor events this summer - barbeques, fireworks, picnics, etc.
