I love romantic, easy to wear looks and this one hits all the right notes: light fabrics, a curve-hugging silhouette, a few jewels, a ladylike bag, and pretty pumps.
I’m never more confident in an outfit than when the clothes themselves feel good. That’s what I reach for time after time. Fabric matters to me because it makes all the difference in terms of the quality and feel of my clothes. I always check labels in search of natural fibers. I love wearing cotton because it breathes with me, feels soft on my skin, and wears beautifully. These are the makings of a wardrobe favorite.
This outfit is a perfect example of style and comfort. I’m all about the lace trend and this intricate blouse is 100% cotton—and just so gorgeous! I paired it with my favorite jeans, the kind that just look better over time. The secret to a great pair lies in the quality of the denim. I like my jeans to fit perfectly, so here I’m wearing an 80% cotton blend. That gives me the stretch my curves need while still looking and feeling good.

Can you provide a link to where you bought that top? I’m loving it!
I love the top. Can you provide more info on it.?
The top is Cynthia by Cynthia Rowley, a line found at Marshalls. I got it recently but there’s no link available since stock varies from store to store. There’s a blue version as well.

Sexy mama! So summery and clean.
Thanks, I love how crisp cotton can look!
Hi Jay!
My name is Mariana and I live in Brazil. Unfortunately here is a little difficult to find plus size clothes. Anyway I always read your texts and I like so much. Now I know: I can be beatiful and stylish even being chubby (is this the polite way?).
Thank you for everything.
Kisses from Brazil !

Hi Mariana,
You are so sweet! I wish there were more options in Brazil, it’s taken a long time to have more options in the United States, but hopefully there will be more progress everywhere as brands understand we all want beautiful and stylish clothes. You are beautiful just as you are.
Beijos, beijos. – Jay
Thank you!
I am so happy I found you, I struggled with self image even when I was not a plus size and seeing you look so beautiful and poised, gives me hope and empowers me.

What size do you wear if you mind me asking. I used to be confident if what i wore before i was a mommy. I have always being size16/18 and i gave brith to my twin girls last year.. @mrs.mamabearoftwo IG via c-section and due to that i have a lil pouch..and i am not as confident as before….and an struggling with it… it is so hard to talk to my friends and family because most dont understand the concept of the importance of feeling good you know. I loved myself and and now its hard to stay positive. My hubby says i look amazing. But as a woman its hard you know… how did you cope after your baby? Did you struggle?
Hi Lilian: After thinking about your question for a few days, I put my thoughts together in a new post. Hope you get a chance to read it and thank you for the inspiration.
