Awesome Find: Anna Scholz Silk Kimono

Bright, fun, and totally sexy, this is one piece that I know will look great with all my skinnies, my leggings, and my dark jeans, too. While many plus women want everyone to know that plus pieces don;t have to be colorful and bright, this one’s all right in my book.

Great Maternity Resource

Plus-size maternity clothes are hard to come by. You may be able to find maternity clothes that will fit, but the grading on your clothes is important, too. If you’re already plus-size to begin with, you’ll want to choose specialized tops and bottoms to fit your curves.
