I picked up this black short sleeve wrap jacket ($48) on my last trip to Torrid. It was a whim but I'm glad I tried it on because hello, cute and versatile. It buttons on the inside, has a cute tie to the side and a little peplum detail on the back. The cotton/spandex blend is light and comfy and the length is just right for layering with a longer cami. I picked up this teal green cami ($16) but the layering possibilities are limitless. Speaking of Torrid's camis, I love them. I have a lot of tanks and camis for layering and Torrid's are my favorite.
I've been staring wistfully at this Holly Aiken bag for, I don't know, months now. I want it, bad. Aside from the cute black and white print and a unique but practical shape, it's made of vinyl so it's animal-friendly, too. It's $104, which is more than I've ever spent on a bag, but after staring at it for so long, I'm pretty sure I really, really do want it.
Continuing with my love of black and white prints is this roundabout print ruched-sleeve blouse ($40) from Lane Bryant. I've always liked LB's cotton/spandex blend blouses for their versatility and overall quality and I really love this one. The sleeves are ruched a bit and the print is subtle but visually interesting. It comes with a belt in the same fabric but I like it better with a wider belt either in black or a bold color like red or pink as an accent.

I'm already looking forward to fall and these updated pumps by Vaneli ($109) from Zappos are perfect for that transition. They're open and airy but the deep raspberry suede lends itself to cooler weather. They also come in black suede but I like the punch of color. They're available in wide widths, of course.



i was those shoes came in patent leather instead of suede. have you looked at the new stuff at old navy yet?

Hi,
You have a great list of resources, however, I didn't see any sites that offer clothing for extended plus sizes 5x, 6x, and above. Could you add these resources to your site as well.
