Plus Size Summer Maxi Dress Outfit
Outfit Details
A plus size blue floral maxi dress with spaghetti straps is a lovely choice for summer outings and events.
It has pockets! And smocking in the back for a flattering fit.
Side note: add a tan or brown belt for a different vibe.
And top this maxi dress with a light-weight linen white blazer as needed.
Strapless Bra Recommendations
When going strapless or wearing thin straps, I always recommend two bras, one is strapless and the other is a multi-way bra with removable straps.
First, the Wacoal Red Carpet Strapless Bra (also, here ) which has excellent reviews and fits up to a size 44G.
Second, the Multi-Way Boost Strapless Bra which fits up to a size 50DDD.
But, if you plan to keep the white linen blazer on, just wear a nude or white bra with straps.
Linen Keeps You Cool
This plus size white blazer is a linen blend!
Linen is just a classy fabric. Period. It drapes in a lovely and unmistakable way.
And linen is a natural fiber known for keeping you cool in hot weather. Yes!
That’s because linen breathes and absorbs moisture.
But Linen Wrinkles…
Linen might seem difficult to deal with, but it’s actually quite easy. And it’s machine washable!
As I’ve said, people often ask me how to keep their linen clothes from wrinkling.
For one, linen is always going to wrinkle. Always.
And really, that is part of “the look.” You know, that rich bougie b!tch look that I love so much!
Two, a linen-blend, like this blazer, will wrinkle less.
And three, if you iron with starch, linen will wrinkle slightly less. But, I say, just let it go!
More Outfit Details
Top the look with some Celine sunglasses in “Havana.” Or try these shades for a more affordable option.
Add a rectangle raffia clutch with brown leather handles.
I’m low-key obsessed with bag. And it will never go out of style, I promise.
Check out some similar options I found:
Finish the look with these showstopping brown wedge sandals from Michael Kors.
These baddies are quite tall though: 5″wedge heel with a 1.5″ platform. So essentially a 3.5″ wedge heel.
If those are too tall for you, try these. Or how about a classy flat sandal?
If you need a wide width alternative, check out these wedges from Naturalizer.
I included more options below with the links.
Jewelry
I kept the jewelry classic, gold, and fairly understated.
Starting with these gold drop earrings. Or try these for a more affordable choice.
I’m in love with this gold-plated coin necklace, which has a lifetime guarantee: “We offer a lifetime guarantee on all our pieces. We’ll repair or replate your jewelry free of charge, for life.”
One thing to note, this coin necklace is only 14.5″ long with a 2″ extender, so you may need an additional necklace extender.
Or try this coin necklace which is a fraction of the price and 18″long with a 2.4″ extender.
As for a bracelet, how about a classic and classy gold coin bracelet? So chic!
I have this coin bracelet, which fits my slightly-larger-than-average wrists and has an amazing price!
And lastly, complete the look with the sculptural jewelry trend with a gold dome ring.
See a similar but less expensive option here.
Beauty
As for lipstick, go with a warm coral color like “Truth or Dare” from Nars.
Now, why not smell lovely, summery, and florally (is that a word? lol) with this summer look?
I added this perfume, Valentino’s “Donna Born in Roma Coral Fantasy,” which is my newest favorite for warm weather.
It has been my go-to for spring and summer, as it is floral and a bit fruity, for the last year or two.
