Q: Do you have any tips on how to style a maxi skirt for someone size 12-14? I have a bit of a tummy and am too self-concious wearing a tight top, but don't want to look like a "sister wife" in a baggier top. Any tips?
Since I'm sure this could help out many people, I have put together a few variations of looks that I think would be great for curvier women.
I personally find styling maxi skirts takes a bit more thought but I found some great options that make dressing yours a cinch.
While shopping around, I found some great
sites for curvier women:
* Macy's
* Torrid

I know many of you are married, but many of you aren't, so I'm asking this question today.
It seems, as the years pass, more and more people are living together, having babies together, buying homes together, all without getting married. I know several people who will opt to have children before getting married and not because it was unplanned.
As most of you know, I was married (and now divorced) and it has changed my views a bit. I love the idea of marriage, and am a bit of a hopeless romantic, but the thought of making a committment like that again is honestly a little scary. Marriage is a beautiful thing, but knowing what I know now, I'm not so sure if I would go through with it again (watch me bite my tongue down the road!).
What about you, would you get married? If you are married, would you do it again? Feel free to comment anonymously.
Outfit deets:
* Forever 21 jacket which you've seen when I posted the #PDOpinupgirls contest photoshoot results (really love this outfit).
* Dynamite lace top which you've seen with olive pants, on the weekend for a date (love this look), and in my Fall Fashion vlog (fun fact: I picked up this top during the shop-off on the day I won the Place d'Orleans vlogger contest!).
* Zara heels which I'm still loving so much and wear every three days or so; I'd wear them more but try to give my other shoes a chance. Have I mentioned how ridiculously comfortable they are?
As I ran out the door on this day I went to grab a jacket and would normally reach for something neutral, my grey or cognac coloured jackets but I decided to try this one and ended up loving the two purple-ish tones together. Would you wear two colours from the same family?
For this video as the Place d'Orleans Fashion Vlogger, I'm sharing some great finds to take you from work to patio in a snap.
We all have those days where something cool and fun is happening after work, but uh oh! You're unprepared and wish you had a way to turn your look into something more social-ready. I have several great finds and a few tips and tricks on how to accomplish this so you're from desk to drinks with minimal effort.
Stay tuned for more videos (specifically on the Place d'Orleans Facebook page).

What a weekend! It ended up being quite packed and I did a whole bunch of random and social stuff. It was so nice to be out with friends for various outings and finally be enjoying some beautiful weather. I'd love to share some--er, many--photos with you:
On Friday I finally took my floral denim out for a spin (aka to work) and was really feeling this look. I took these shots in the fitting room at Joe Fresh on my lunch hour (Sarah and I decided to skip our workout on Friday). I picked up a bra-top/sports bra that was on sale for $7 and that was it.
Outfit deets: Garage denim jacket, Dynamit top, Aeropostale denim, Aldo wedges & thrifted necklace.
Friday night, five of us hit up a new spot in town called, El Camino. It's a taco restaurant that is totally hipster. We sat at the funky bar but at a jut-out so as if we were at a hi-top table all facing one-another. I had three tacos: fish x2 and pork and both were really good. The cracked pepper calamari was awesome and their salsa is killing it too. Afterwards, we all walked a few blocks to a pool hall and played long into the night.
Outfit deets: Garage denim jacket (same as above), Joe Fresh top, Bench denim shorts & Sam Edelman wedges (still available HERE).
Saturday morning breakfast out at a different spot where I used to frequent with a girl friend a while back. Unfortunately this trip was less than great with terrible service and cold food.
Saturday afternoon.
Outfit deets: Maison Scotch tee (new!), Sirens shorts, Bamboo sandals (old, but also seen during my trip to Punta Cana) & Urban Expressions bag.
More after the jump...
