Happy Friday! Mothers Day is right around the corner and I know you are thinking up things to do with your kiddos or chatting with your own mama on what she wants to do! Each year my mom always wants to do a combination of a few things. Flower shopping, church and a fancy brunch are usually the top three and this year is no different. So when Avenue reached out to me asking me to style a few outfits for Mothers Day I knew it would be a perfect fit.
This Mothers Day is really special for me because THIS YEAR I am experiencing motherhood firsthand. My growing babe and I are in our third trimester and moving towards our due date!
Dress With Confidence
This spring and summer season Avenue is focusing on empowering and instilling confidence in their customers, this initiative has been so empowering for me personally as I go through my own body transformation as I carry this child. I love that Avenue has options that work for the plus size frame through all seasons of life, and dressing confidently for different occasions has been easy for me. In todays post I created two different styles both versatile and easily dressed up or down by changing accessories. Having versatile pieces in your closet that work for multiple events is so important during the summer months!
Look One
I loved the way this handkerchief hem dress looked online, the tribal print and color blocking are fun accents that make this dress versatile and on trend for the spring and summer seasons. I paired it with a white denim jacket to dress it down and some of my favorite summer accessories!
Dresses like this are so fun and flowy for summer, I love this one dressed down but was also brainstorming ways to style it for a wedding or graduation. Simply add some black or nude strap sandals, ditch the denim jacket and put on a pair of sparkle earrings. Voila! You are good to go!
Look Two
I wanted to style a maxi dress for my second look, I love love having a few maxi dresses on hand to style for summer events. This specific dress is a lightweight rayon blend that will be great for those super hot summer days ahead AND now with a light jacket.
The black and white pattern was fun to style with my new red handbag and the pattern on this dress kept the look modern and a little edgy. When I put this look together I was thinking of a daytime wedding or shower. The black strap heels add a dressier edge and red bag gives that fun pop of color. You could easily style this dress with white slide sandals or mules, a denim jacket and this same bag for a TOTALLY different outfit!
I sized up to make sure this would fit but could have taken my usual 14/16, the stretch bodice is super comfortable and BRA FRIENDLY!
