BTS shopping tips for plus size and curvy girls

Check these out, too...

  • Cute sandals you'll wear all summer
  • Find the best bathing suit for your shape
  • Ed. obsession under $20: Primp out your keyboard
  • What he really thinks of your fave summer outfit
  • Tune up your summer concert wardrobe with these picks
A lot of curvy chicks know the all-too-familiar disappointment of walking into a cute store and finding a lot of the fab finds just won’t fit. It can be a total bummer even for the most confident curvy gal. Here are some of our fave stores that carry adorable plus sizes, so you can stroll the halls with some serious style.
 
Torrid
While it can be a tad pricey, the selection at Torrid is fabulous -- especially their sales! The best part? Their shoes are all in wide widths and their boots have more room in the calf.


Style tip: This sweet dress has an all-over print that looks great on girls with curves. The ruffled neckline and whittled waist details are so figure-flattering!
 
 
Ditsy Print Shirt Dress, $65, torrid.com


Forever 21 Plus Sizes

Oh, how we wish that F21 carried their plus size line in all of their stores. Thankfully, they boast an affordable and totally trendy collection on their website.


Style tip: To look long and lean, try a floor length cardi for instant lengthening. We absolutely love the fab tribal print dress paired with it.

Braided Tribal Print Dress, $25, forever21.com
 
Old Navy

Offering oodles of plus size outfits in stores, and even more online, Old Navy is the go-to place for discount divas. A quick 'n' easy scroll through the virtual sale rack makes shopping on a budget a breeze.


Style tip: This cute jacket with an asymmetrical button placket does wonders your torso. For a fall transition outfit, scrunch up the sleeves and pair it with a sundress. Once it gets cooler, wear it as the perfect topper to a jeans and a tee combo.

More stylish stores
If you're looking for other outfit options, Avenue and Lane Bryant offer surprisingly chic clothes specifically designed just for curvaceous chicas. Your fave retailers, like Delia's and American Eagle, are getting the hint and offering plus size options on the web. Their online stores go up to size 19 and 20, respectively, in jeans and 2XL in tops. If all else fails, the plus sections of department stores are your best bet to find your perfect fit.
 
Where do you think the best place is to find plus-sized clothes? Blog about it babes!

MOD MOD MOD MOD Hey...I have no idea what to wear for the first day of school!! It's probably gonna be really warm in the area. We can't wear shorts, printed t's, or tanks to school. Mostly everyone at my school has really cute, expensive clothes. I want to stand out to everyone because I'm going to be a freshman...but I don't know what to wear. My body shape is curvy...but I wear mostly smalls. If you could help, that would be amazing Laughing also, cute hair tips for voluminous, curly hair would be helpful...Thank you!!

 

 

Hey girl. I would go for a either a midi length skirt and a top or a cute casual dress. Places like forever 21 or H&M will have cheap finds that look more expensive. If your hair is already curly then embrace your natural texture. If not try using a curing iron after teasing your hair a little bit.

MODMODMODMODMODMODMODMODMODMODMOD my ex and i dated for 6 months, he dumped me last month and he already has a new gf! Frown im pretty crushed...the worst part is that he said when he dumped me that there was no other girl and that he wanted to be friends, but now that he has a new gf he never texts me anymore! HELP! Frown ~Lauren

 

 

Hey girl. At least he waited a month. Stop trying to text him or expecting texts. He has moved on and you should too! Smile
