I also love the look and feel of crisp neutrals like black and white. I chose this black & white floral print because I love a crisp black & white print and the flower had a tropical feel to it. I opted for this on trend sage green colour as it was a sharp contrast to the black & white print and gives it an earthy feel. I kept my accessories pretty simple with classic tonal bags and my Mom’s elephant earrings for the first look & a pop of orange in these statement earrings for the blue.

Brides are now choosing little white dresses for everything from the engagement party, to the bridal shower, to the rehearsal dinner, to the farewell brunch. This Sleeveless Mikado Fit & Flare Midi Dress from Adrianna Papell is a serious stunner. This Sleeveless Mikado Fit & Flare Midi Dress in White is a missy style, and I am in the largest size 20. , it’s good to remember you can shop both missy and plus to maximize your options at Adrianna Papell.

Southern charm meets preppy chic in Reese Witherspoon’s women’s apparel brand, Draper James (sizes xs-3X). This dress is originally priced at $150, but you can shop it through the end of March for $120 with code LIZ20! I’m wearing the Kitty Knit Dress in Spring Ditsy Floral ($88) in the size 1X. The fabric is a stretch jersey that’s weighty with lots of movement and bounce. Shop the complete look for $140 (originally $175) with code LIZ20 through March 31st!

A trendy cropped sweater set is one of my favorite spring trends, and of course ELOQUII (sizes 14-28) has us covered with some cute plus size options. Then, come summer, I can lose the cardigan and wear the cropped tank on its own with different skirts and high rise jeans. After years of wearing flowy tops and skinny jeans, shifting trends are turning this silhouette on its head in favor of tiny tops and flowy bottoms. And this spring I’m ready to give the trend a try, starting with these cropped sweater sets.

I don’t think I’ve been THIS excited about a collection drop maybe ever in the history of With Wonder and Whimsy (aka my life). I’m talking about ELOQUII’s new Budding Romance Collection available in sizes 14-28. My Easter Archives for More Pastel Inspiration ELOQUII’s new Budding Romance collection looks straight out of Bridgerton. I’m so excited to do a try-on haul for all of you over on Instagram, and you can bet I’ll be planning some fun photoshoots around the different looks.

We’re in a real 90s throwback era right now, and it’s fun re-interpreting the trends I remember as a tween. As someone who struggles with clothing proportions being that I’m 5’4″, full figured, and short waisted, the cropped tops and high rise bottoms trending right now are perfectly tailored to my frame. And with the rising popularity of ‘curvy’ denim cut specifically for wide hips and narrower waists, I feel like the fashion gods are hearing my calls! The size inclusive jeans linked below feature either a high rise, a curvy silhouette with extra room through the hips (no sizing up to accommodate your hips but then have gaping at the waistband!), or both!

Things are still cool and crisp this time of year here in Michigan, but I’m itching to wear my pretty skirts and Easter pastels. By styling my skirts with sweaters, ankle boots, and cute cozy hats, I can stay warm while still leaning into spring. So dust off your favorite skirts from last year and do a little try-on session with different sweaters, jackets, boots, and hats. My skirts are some of my favorite items in my closet, and I’d hate to wait until t-shirt and sandal weather to wear them.

Today I wanted to share one of our favorite March traditions (bonus: it’s also a fun way to extend your St. Patrick’s Day celebrations all month long!). Instead of pancakes and scrambled eggs, a full breakfast consists of fried sausage and bacon, seared mushrooms and halved tomatoes, fried eggs, buttered toast and jam, and Heinz beans. Kyle and I will be wearing green today, picking up some Smithwick’s (our favorite Irish beer), and making my family’s traditional corned beef and cabbage for dinner. Check out this post for my favorite St. Patrick’s Day-inspired ideas, and make today an occasion!

My beret is a true Basque beret made in France from online hat emporium Tenth Street Hats. I finished the look with my Gucci Jackie 1961 Small Hobo Bag with the strap worn at its longest. I’ve received a few questions about the fit of this bag on plus size bodies, so I wanted to show it also works as a crossbody on my 5’4″ frame. The booties are a now sold out style from ELOQUII, but thanks to Bridgerton, I think we’ll be seeing more Victorian style booties later this spring and summer.
