5 Summer Dresses For Plus-size Girls

While writing  this post on appropriate summer office wear, I couldn't help but feel like I needed to put up a post on nice dresses that our curvy sisters can wear to combat the January-February heat that we are currently experiencing in Kenya. I've mentioned several times that just because one is curvier, clothes don't need to be frumpy and shapeless. You can look fashionable and chic even in the hot weather.
Below I have picked some of my favourite plus-size blogger looks in cute dresses that will inspire you to go all out with your summer wardrobe.

Which of these dresses would you like to try out? Do share in the comments below.
One

You know those cute skater dresses that all stylish girls are in love with these days? You can wear them too! Keep yours knee-length so as to manage the fullness better. A pair of heels will be just as flattering as some flats or strappy sandals. Remember, the more leg you show the better since it downplays the fullness at the hips.

Two

Dresses with interesting detailing will draw the eye to the dress and take people's attention from your body. I like the contrasting colour on the bodice of the dress above or the bold prints of the dress below.



Three

If you have or come across a dress that is absolutely cute but a tad too short for your liking, why not pair it with skinny jeans (or a pair of skinny pants if jeans are too hot for you) like this outfit above? Complete the outfit with a cute pair of flats or some heals and a structured handbag for your dress-worn-with-pants outfit to look intentional.

Four

High-lows are so summery. And it doesn't have to be so low as to sweep the ground.

Five

Maxi dresses are still the perfect summer wear. You can have a plain one or a printed one and get all sorts of colours.

My Style: Mad About Denim

 I feel like I have put up soo many denim-related outfits of late but that's because I live in jeans. I can't help it. Let's talk about these particular jeans. They are high-waisted and have a zip that runs half-way up the calf and the fact that they stretch a little really adds to their charm. I paired them with a blue multi-layered top which I found to be so cute and feminine and topped it all off with my striped blue blazer. I love the cropped style and fit of this blazer. It instantly smartens up any outfit that I pair it with. For shoes, I opted for my grey sneakers which I first appeared on the blog here . Pops of red, in the form of lipstick and a necklace, added some more colour and brightness to the outfit.   Outfit Details: Jeans: Borrowed from my sis (Thrifted, Gikomba Market) Top and Blazer: Thrifted, Gikomba Market Shoes: Bus Station, Nairobi Earrings: Gift Necklace: Thrift Away (Instagram) Thank you for stopping by. xo

ABOUT

Hi, I'm Audrey. Welcome to Inches To Style☺ How it started I fell in love with fashion at an early age. In fact, I wanted to be a model and when I realised that I wouldn’t make the cut because of my height, I decided that I would become a fashion designer. I’d been making clothes for my dolls for years so I knew that was a career path I would love to pursue.  I didn’t study fashion nor did I become a fashion designer but my love for clothes and putting outfits together stuck with me.  On September 12, 2011 I wrote my first blog post, after I discovered the world of fashion blogs and got hooked. I thought to myself, “I can do this! I like writing and I like fashion, so why not?” And so Inches To Style was born. What to expect from the blog At first, I wanted this blog to be a source of inspiration for anyone looking to up their style game. As time progressed and my personal style and lifestyle has evolved, I found the name of my blog quite fitting as I’m moving inches (closer) ...

HOW TO: Wear A Pencil Skirt | With a T-Shirt and Statement Necklace

Hello lovelies! My quest to learn how to style a pencil skirt continues. I was selling this skirt ( on Botique i2s ) some time ago but I didn't get someone to buy it. So I added it to my arsenal. I have worn it twice since. I previously paired it with a white button down shirt. For last Sunday's Church outfit, I wore it with a chocolate brown t-shirt and added a statement necklace to dress up the outfit a little. My tan brown wedges have finally made a reappearance on the blog. A lime green and brown turban completed the outfit. Outfit Details: Skirt: Botique i2s T-Shirt: India Wedges: Bus Station Necklace: bought from a friend Head-wrap: India  I must say that I prefer this combination of colours more than with the white shirt. What do you think of it? How would you have worn this skirt?   Have you checked out my online store yet?
