HSN

2007-05-25T07:20:00.000-07:00

The first time I looked at HSN, I was pleasantly surprised. However, the selection changes frequently and there weren't that many great items today.

$49.90

Fashion Bug

2007-05-24T07:04:00.000-07:00

I have mixed feelings about Fashion Bug. There are some nice things, especially in their 1940 Studio line but most of their other items are a bit conservative.

$28.99

Dillard's

2007-05-23T08:22:00.000-07:00

Dillard's has some nice basic items in their plus-size section. They also offer a few high-end brands.

I don't usually find items I like at Avenue but they are a good choice for staple items.

Amazon

2007-05-19T10:08:00.000-07:00

Fashion to Figure

2007-05-13T11:00:00.000-07:00

Fashion to Figure has become one of my favorites due to their huge selection. Just be careful with sizes, some tend to run on the junior side.

I was really excited when I found Casual-Plus and ordered several items, without realizing that they were Junior Plus sized.

It's still a good store but just pay attention to the sizes when ordering.

Alloy

2007-05-09T09:58:00.000-07:00

Most items at Alloy are too "young" for me but I love their selection of jeans in extended sizes and inseams. I dress them up for work and everyone always asks me where I bought them. Little do they know! ;-)

Sizes: 1-25; inseams: 30"-37"

alight.com

2007-05-08T08:33:00.000-07:00

Gap back cross jeans

2007-05-07T22:47:00.000-07:00

These jeans are super comfy. The legs are a bit too straight for me (I'd prefer it if they were a bit more flared) but they are still very nice.

They're a nice wash too, not too blue, so they go with everything.

Store: Gap

My favorite jackets

2007-05-06T22:25:00.000-07:00

I wear this denim jacket from Eddie Bauer with everything. It fits very nicely. The sleeves are fairly long which I like but I'm tall so they may be too long for some.

Store: Eddie Bauer

I also love this jacket from Land's End. I have it in black and it's extremely versatile.

Store: Land's End

Floral tank with tie at the waist

2007-05-05T21:20:00.000-07:00

I bought this top last week and it was much cuter than I thought!
