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

I’m a 5’9” queer fat femme and approx size 18

Spring Blooms

I found out from jezebel.com this morning that UK catalogue company “Simply Be” will start selling in the US in August. I had to go take a look and see what sort of things they have available. I fell in love with this lace-arm trench and paired it with a striped top for a simple spring look!

I’m looking forward to having another place to shop come this autumn!
