So maybe it's a good thing that plus size mom jeans are coming into our lives because they may force us to come to terms with dressing for flattery and maybe leave the outdated, non body positive styling technique in the past. I want you to feel confident in mom jeans because the truth is that plus size women can wear whatever they want! While I highly suggest wearing a cute pair of strappy heels or mules with mom jeans, I was struggling with identifying the right shoes to wear with mom jeans for the winter time. I am wearing Fashion Nova Curve Mom Jeans in a size 18, which is my usual size and these jeans
But one day, I got the brilliant idea to throw on a maxi slip dress instead of sweatpants and it totally changed my idea of quarantine style. So instead of spending my time—and money—shopping for work from home outfits OR comfortable plus size loungewear, I am shopping for clothes that can be both. I decided to order Gillian Ribbed Tank Dress, Luisa Padded Shoulder Midi Dress, Aliso Top, and Hayden Sleeveless Jumpsuit. If you want to elevate your work from home wardrobe or plus size work outfits, in general, I highly recommend checking out WAYF for pieces that are versatile and comfortable!
it's that your everyday clothes can also be loungewear and that your plus size loungewear doesn't have to be sweatpants and oversized hoodies. So when I started to realize that my clothing directly affected my confidence, I started taking things out of my closet that I wouldn't necessarily classify as loungewear sets for women and worked them into my day-to-day looks. I have had so much luck shopping for a matching lounge set and sexy lounge sets—because a girl still needs and wants to feel sexy in quarantine... The brand has created some beautiful loungewear pieces during the pandemic and while they used to be my go-to brand for plus size professional clothing, they have now become my one-stop shop for loungewear.
Even though I am spending a lot more time at home these days, I still need a variety of dresses in my wardrobe that can help me feel confident on both my lazy and productive days. From sexy plus size dresses for women to plus size casual summer dresses, I found that these clothes were so much more versatile than I previously thought. The Kaftan Striped Dress is more appropriate for the days when I have to be on camera for work or want to go for a more "dressed up look”. In the Kaftan Striped Dress, I am wearing a 2XL, which is my usual size, and the dress fits perfectly.
