Remember the appearance of the short in back/long in front dress in the early 90s? Yeah, those confused me. So do off the shoulder looks – on everyone. On plus sizes, there are some extra disadvantages if you’ve got some chub hanging off your armpit, etc. If you have arms a la Serena Williams (or are a really strong bellydancer) I can see really rocking this look. However, if you’re not a strong-arm woman, probably not.

Just in case you like the look but can’t wear it, Torrid does have this intriguing variation.

It can easily have a jacket added, has waist definition – and is not in any way skintight.

I’m not quite sure where I stand on bib necklaces. I tend towards statement jewelry, but not necessarily loud statement jewelry. Given that I am slightly less ample up top than some, I realize I might not get the bookshelf effect other larger-busted women might, but it still feels uncomfortable to me.

While I’ve seen the look in Gossip Girl and W, I have yet to see this on real live women. I’m curious – do you wear this look? Care to share a picture of yourself wearing a bib necklace?

I am the clumsy girl who walked through puddles of water only to soak my boots AND my flares, and this now explains how the girls who wear flats all the time do it without such flooding incidents. I also have to wonder if these are useful for cuffed-jean looks – although I’m still a bit scarred from a junior high social ranking situation based on jeans cuffs. Looks handy – and it’s one of those “so that’s how they do it” discoveries.

Yes, I know I’m heavy on the Youtube this week. There’s just a lot out there that needs to be seen. This particular clip comes courtesy of plus fashion outlet Just My Size. They are working on coming up with more fashion-forward looks as part of their collection, while still staying consumer friendly. FULL DISCLOSURE: they did send me a few samples. You will be seeing me wearing them, soon. In the meantime, offer some feedback here as to what you’re seeing!

I’d be shocked if you haven’t heard the buzz about this movie. If you’ve seen it, by all means, share your thoughts here. I’m saving it for a time when I can handle the intensity – so it will likely be one of my infamous lagged reviews. Somehow, I think ten years from now, this movie will still be relevant. I do deliberately sidestep the politics of fat – just showing up is a political statement. And this story has way more to it than just bodies. If I have something to add to the conversation, I will. For now, when I’m able, I simply plan to give it a read and a listen.

This movie, FYI, is based on this book by Sapphire:
