PINKBLUSH // BIGGEST SALE OF THE YEAR
If you’ve been following along for awhile, you’ve probably heard me talk about PinkBlush. I am and have always been a huge fan of the boutique, mainly because they carry cute trendy, affordable items IN MY SIZE. Especially as a plus size and pregnant woman, that is extremely hard to find!
$20 TOPS & DOORBUSTER DEALS WITH LANE BRYANT
Today I’m styling 2 looks with Lane Bryant, and also wanted to let you guys know about all of the sales happening this week! They sent me two tops from their holiday collection and I LOVE both of them! Here are all the details of the sale.
WHAT TO WEAR WITH LEGGINGS
most asked question ever - which I totally understand why! It can be hard to find tops that are long enough or flattering with leggings.
Here are my current picks that you could wear with leggings. Most of these items are on mega sale right now (it’s like the pre-black friday sales are crazy out of control this year?!! - not complaining!!)

HOD PICKS: WIDE CALF BOOTS
You guys have been asking for a round-up of wide calf boots. Here you go! Note that not all boots are labeled wide width, but I researched the calf measurement and they are considered to be wide.
Also note that MOST OF THESE are on major sale this week… don’t let them sell out!
PLUS SIZE HOLIDAY DRESSES
The most wonderful time of the year is HERE! Well… in my opinion. ;) I’ve heard from several of you that you have weddings, black tie events, and holiday parties galore! I’ve gathered my top picks here for you below! Some of these are casual, and some are dressy.
STYLE HAS NO SIZE // cropped bootcut denim + blazer + tee
This is most definitely my favorite STYLE HAS NO SIZE look to date! I love throwing on a tee, but that’s never been quite enough for me. I have always felt like I required a little more structure, so a blazer is the perfect option.
STYLE HAS NO SIZE // denim on denim with Madewell
Thank you to Madewell for sponsoring this month’s Style Has No Size look!
Mireille from City Peach and I are at it again! This time with a super fun way to style a casual look for the Fall.
Striped color-blocked sweaters are ALL THE RAGE right now. So are denim jackets. And guess what? We jumped on the socks + mary janes bandwagon and I AM OBSESSED.
HOW TO STYLE DEMI-BOOT CROPPED JEANS
I’ve been getting a lot of questions about what types of shoes to wear these “demi-boot” jeans with, as well as how to style them. I figured I’d just throw it all together in a blog post for you to make it easy!
JCREW'S NEW SIZE INCLUSIVE COLLECTION // MY PICKS
JCrew has extended their sizing and I am SO excited to show you the things I love! WARNING: there are… a lot. There are so many more things I wanted to include as well, but the list was getting a little out of hand. ;)
If I were you, I’d shop NOW because most of these items (and more on the site) are 40% OFF with code BIGSALE !!!!
Scroll down to see all of my picks - click on each picture to see the item. Note that MOST of these items come in several colors. All items start as XXS/00 and go up to a 3X or 24. All jeans go from a size 23 to a size 37!
OH, BTW WE ARE HAVING A BABY! I guess it’s time for a bumpdate?
Although I have referenced the fact that I am pregnant on here, I realized the other day that I never made the “official announcement” on the blog that we are having our second baby girl… so, better late than never!
I haven’t been big on doing “bumpdates” - but I thought I would update you all on how I actually am doing, despite the pics and videos you see on Instagram.
STYLE HAS NO SIZE // boyfriend jeans + kimono
One of my biggest requests has been to style boyfriend jeans as a plus size woman. Here's how I did it, using the same exact kimono as my girl Mireille from City Peach! This is the second feature in our series, STYLE HAS NO SIZE, and we LOVE THIS LOOK! I hope you do too!
"YOU AREN'T PLUS SIZE ENOUGH"
“What happens when you finally lose all the baby weight, what will you call yourself then?”
“What size are you REALLY, though?”
“Are you calling yourself plus size just because you’re pregnant?”
“What size were you before you got pregnant?”
These are just a few examples of questions I get ALL of the time. From real life friends and family, to people I don’t know on the internet.
CONFESSION: I NEED UNDIES
If you follow me on Instagram and watch my stories, then you probably saw awhile back where I admitted a HUGE fault. I NEED UNDERWEAR HELP.
Seriously. For years it's been the last thing on my list, and definitely when it comes to an item of clothing over underwear... I'm spending money on the clothing. What can I say.
ONE KIMONO STYLED 4 WAYS
“How do I style a kimono?” - Major question I've been getting out there from a lot of you! Here's the trick….
YOU CAN DO HARD THINGS
I've been hearing this quote several times in the past week - almost like it's the universe SHOUTING IT AT ME. It's been a really good reminder. Life is full of seasons, things can be challenging but hard doesn't have to be a bad thing.
If you've been following along with me, you know I've been working my butt off before this baby comes to make some extra cash and secure more hours towards our healthcare benefits.
PLUS SIZE & PREGNANT // PRINT MIXING & 40% OFF!
Happy Friday!! Here's another PLUS SIZE AND PREGNANT LOOK with NON-MATERNITY clothing! Minus the jeans. ;) I wanted to share this look because 1, THE SWEATER AND SHOES ARE 40% OFF. I REPEAT. This is not a drill. But 2, I wanted to show you how to amp up a simple tee-shirt look, in classic Dorough fashion. You know I can't help myself - I love mixing prints every chance I get!
FALL HAUL FOR EMALINE // how to get high end kids' clothes on the cheap!
One of my favorite ways to shop is thrift and consignment because not only can you get really cute, barely worn stuff - but you can also find cool and unique things that aren't in the stores anymore!
I am THRILLED to share with you this amazing online consignment store called BAGSY! They have ALL KIDS sizes and the cutest stuff. An amazing selection, I am blown away... I could literally sit on their website for hours.
WHAT I WORE // CAMO + PLAID TRENCH
Layering and mixing patterns is my JAM, you know this! I really don't like playing by the rules... so here I am, throwing on a plaid trench coat over a camo shirt jacket and calling it a day. If you've been following along with my life updates, than you probably know I've been working a little bit...
