Prom is just around the corner and plus-size curvy girls want to look fabulous, too. There are a lot of gorgeous plus-size prom dresses online in various styles and colors. Some of my favorite stores for plus-size formals are:
Aurora Formals Plus Size Prom Dress, Sizes 14W-24W, $195 at christinagowns.com
This spring, look for edgy menswear-inspired vests in classic denim and cotton. Wear them with T-shirts and pants or even shorts. To dress up a denim vest, pair it with a sweet skirt or minidress and add an eye-catching pendant.
