Pretty Lace for Spring - from Vive La Femme

This past Saturday, I spent the afternoon at Chicago plus size boutique, Vive La Femme.  I had a blast chatting with owner Stephanie and manager Amanda.  I tried on tons of things and I just had to share my great finds with you all!  All clothing is from Vive la Femme, all accessories are from sister store Violette*.

Shirt - Perch, $50, the new juniors plus size line, sz 2X

Jeans — Goodtime, $50, sz 3x — this is a junior plus size which accounts for the uptick to a 3x.  Great line for folks who wear size 12-18

Shoes — GoMax, $39 (all man-made materials, perfect for vegans), size 11

Jewelry — Geranium,  $24

*Violette carries an amazing line of shoes size 7-11, and shoes are under $75!  Super cute
