Oh my goodness! Creating this list has been SO fun and you gave me such great inspiration. It’s a VERY big list. I want to give you the opportunity to see a beautiful curated list of pieces that will all work for you- communicating your authentic personal style, flattering your frame and making you feel beautiful in items that also work for your lifestyle. You’ll want to double check your measurements for sizes when you order. Remember, if you are torn between two sizes, it’s always better to either order both (so we can compare and return) or go for the larger size. Vanity sizing is meaningless to us! We have an expert Master Tailor!
Here’s what I did for sizing:
Baccal bottom size 5 or top (bust size 3 and hips size 5)
Frances Valentine 3X
Measurements: Waist 48, Hips 61, Bust 48
Enough chatting, let’s dive in!
I’m losing my mind over this one. Because your mom was a jeweler and you have your own collection, I’m only including this ring on your list. But it was too good to pass up. Vintage-inspired, eye-catching and a mixed metal piece that gives you options, it’s all the things!
We’re sticking with the Dark Autumn color palette and taking care to include some bold red pieces because it brings you joy and is just right for your style. This handbag is gorgeous in every color available. I especially love the red, which will mix and match effortlessly with your new and existing collection. These (and many more) are pieces from Frances Valentine. It’s a PERFECT brand for you. Founded by Kate Spade when she sold her company, the quality is beautiful and the pieces are timeless without being boring.
Pair your red bag with this insanely flattering and useful red top, showing off your small waist and minimizing your stomach. Adding in ankle length white wide leg jeans will show off your curves while balancing your frame, especially with this top. SPANX has been good to you and these are a stellar option. I’m truly obsessed with the accessories in this look including these unbelievable shoes and gloves. Both are just right for your elevated style without sacrificing comfort or making things too dressy.
A flattering, functional and elevated coat is essential. This one is from Baacal. The brand was started by Cynthia Vincent, the original designer behind Vince. She started this company to cater to real women with designs just right for you.
Black has always appealed to you and you look great in it, too! And as we discussed, it’s time to add some stripes to your collection. This flattering tee adds visual interest up top, balancing your hips and is a playful while still practical, piece.
A leather blazer is ideal for your authentic personal style. It’s an elevated alternative to a cardigan and is a timeless piece that will be in your collection for years. The cut of each of these choices is super flattering and you can mix and match this jacket with a shocking array of pieces. Either Lafayette choice is an investment, for sure. The longtime fashion director of the brand is a black man and I’m convinced that’s why the clothes are so dreamy on curvy women. I also appreciate the luxury piece that is available in more sizes. The quality is incredible and the knit arms (if you opt for that one) will be easier for fit at your shoulders and arms, as we discussed.
Barrel jeans are all the rage right now and they are actually quite flattering for your frame. I’ll help with the pairing:) They take a bit of getting used to. Thanks to Eloquii’s reasonable pricing, it’s an easy experiment. And finally, let’s finish things off with some fun color blocked and comfortable loafers. You’ll see lots of shoe choices on this list. It’s time to spread your wings beyond ballet flats.
Let’s get you set up for warm weather and future travels, shall we? Again, obsessed with a Frances Valentine bag for you. Your wicker clutch is a fav and this classic shape has a playful lining that will bring you joy every time you open it. You love your shoulders and this dress is insanely flattering for you with the shoulders down or up. Finish it off with the majority of shoes on this list.
It’s time for a great striped shirt and this one is sure to flatter your frame. Wear it solo or underneath this delightful pink sweater. This color appeals to you, is in your color palette and will integrate seamlessly with your collection. I love this look with your red handbag and red shoes, too! Good American makes stellar jeans for curvy women. Because you are a fan of skinny jeans, I want to be sure we include something similar in your collection. These will flatter your frame and color is just right.
It’s time for your next concert with your niece. Of course, you can use the sequins in your collection for the next Taylor Swift adventure. OR find this magical balance between dressy and casual with a super flattering tee and this fun, flattering skirt. Yes! You’ll need the ideal handbag for security and this clear Kate Spade choice (from the outlet for a super deal) is just right.
This color is gorgeous on you and this cut is flattering and functional. Pair it with these insanely flattering jeans from SPANX and finish things off with a great pair of animal print toe capped ballet flats for the win. We may decide to make these ankle length. We can experiment with it when we see everything on. I also adore this outfit with a leather blazer over top.
Every time I think we’ve seen my favorite outfit, we move to the next one! You absolutely need this monochromatic look. It’s super sophisticated, flattering and comfortable. Plus, you can use it throughout the year, depending on styling. And these flats are making my head explode. They are also available in green or pink on the Frances Valentine site or Nordstrom. Scarves really speak to you as does color blocking and this winter scarf is an easy go to for most looks in colder weather. Another extraordinary pair of shoes that are sure to draw compliments and will integrate with your new and existing wardrobe finish off this look.
This fun and functional handbag speaks to your aesthetic and will coordinate easily with your pieces. The texture is especially inviting and channels some of your other accessories.
You’ll be a super fan of this sweater when you see it IRL, thanks to the unexpected black and white color blocking, a favorite of yours. Yes! You can wear this red vegan leather skirt! And you’ll look incredible doing it! It’s all about the pairing. Try it with this sweater and a pair of tall boots or use it in warmer weather with the white tee and sandals.
It’s a navy-palooza! It’s absolutely time for a Breton tee and this is my fav for you from FV. Pair it with the flattering and vintage inspired cardigan or mix and match the cardi with the sleeveless top for a twinset vibe. Options abound. Finish it off with these flattering jeans that flatter your curves and balance your frame. Last but certainly not least, these Miz Mooz flats are some of the most comfortable shoes you’ll wear and I expect you’ll enjoy a dark green pair for an unexpected pop of color that is also still subtle.
You’ll quickly discover that this dress is a go-to for so many situations. It’s incredibly flattering and is easy to pair with boots, flats, sandals or heels. Plus, the exposed zipper provides subtle sex appeal. These animal print booties are a timeless option that livens up any look.
Looking for a more sophisticated option for evening events? We’ve got you covered. Expect to discover that these pants are incredibly flattering and a great canvas for other pieces…. like this blouse! And what could be more exciting than the green lining on this classic, luxurious coat? But, perhaps the choice that will delight you the most will be this fresh pair of shoes channeling your beloved red heels. You can wear these flats on the daily and get the same feeling as with the high heels. Done and done!
Gabriella Rossetti Allegra Felted Wool Coat. Nordstrom. $1,195. 100% wool/Lining: 95% silk/5% elastane/Trim: 48% acrylic/45% nylon/7% elastane/Dry clean/Made in USA of Italian fabric.
Everyone needs some formal options. Congrats on your existing dress. Here’s another great choice that’s made even better with these memorable pink shoes with a one inch stacked heel.
Feel like going with a sexier look and a higher heel? Yes, please! This dress from Anthro is insanely flattering, comfortable and useful. It’s stretchy and you can layer the black leather blazer over top, if you’d like. Bam!
I love a great summer dress for you. The white option will become a quick favorite when you add a belt. The striped piece is just right without any extra effort. Both flatter your frame and are easy to wear without needing to layer over the top. Try either with this crazy fun wicker barrel bag and joyful pink mules.
Say, “hello” to this beautiful, sophisticated look. Worried it’s too dressy to be used on repeat? No need. Just break up the pair and mix and match with more casual options. This color is beautiful on you and a great silk blouse is always a good idea. Plus, there’s a hidden button for the bust line to ensure the fit is just right. I also adore these dark brown pants to give you more outfit options. And who will ever forget these shoes?!?! No one. The answer is no one.
We’re finally on our last outfit, if you can believe it. The photography doesn’t do any of these pieces justice. The oversized linen blouse can be tied at the waist, tucked, etc. to show your shape. And these effortless pajama style pants keep everything relaxed and elevated. Ready to head out the door? Just add these elevated heels to bring it all together without sacrificing comfort.
And there you have it! I can’t wait to hear what you think!
