When the calendar says it’s spring, but the weather says otherwise…🙃🥶I wore this outfit twice this week - on Thursday night for dinner with a girlfriend and then yesterday afternoon for lunch in Detroit with Kyle. The colors are super springy, but the styling with the duster coat, booties, and sweater keep it transitional. This satin slip skirt is on sale at @shoparula for $28.99 from $69.95. It’s taken me some time to warm up to this trend. Column shaped skirts have always been intimidating for me because I grew up seeing them in magazines and catalogs on slim figures that looked nothing like my own. A-line and skater silhouettes have always felt more accessible for my shape. But part of my body confidence journey means allowing myself access to trends that I previously thought weren’t meant for me and my body. I’m grateful to plus size brands providing us with these trends so we finally can give these styles a try. Even so, I went back and forth about ordering this skirt for more than a month. I ultimately decided to give it a go because I love the color, and while the fabric is lustrous and elegant, there’s also casual styling potential. Yes, I have lumps and bumps and cellulite, and yes, you can see some of that through the skirt. But this is my body right now, this is a style I want to experiment with right now, and I’m giving myself permission to wear it. I LOVE how this outfit came together. The colors, the layered necklaces, and the effortless silhouette tick every box for me. I bought this skirt as a spring essential I plan to wear on heavy rotation and style a variety of ways over the coming months.
