Black Roses

Last month in Vegas, I stumbled upon the most adorable boutique at the Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace. As soon as I stepped inside of Tatyana Boutique, it felt like I traveled back in time. From wiggle dresses to circle skirts & crinolines, I felt like I was raiding the wardrobe closet on the set of I Love Lucy! Tatyana's Boutique specializes in retro inspired clothing that truly celebrates the curves that make women sexy. 

While checking out the clothing, I was expecting just to browse, because not many stores on the strip carry plus size clothing. I was pleasantly surprised when I picked up a dress that read size 2x. After digging a little further, I discovered that most pieces went up to a size 4x!! Now don't get too excited, the size chart is also retro inspired with a 4x being a size 16-18. Nevertheless, I picked out several pieces in size 4x to try on. I was super excited to see that most of them fit. Ultimately, I decided on a fabulous circle skirt. 

As soon as I saw the Black Roses skirt I knew it had to come home with me. Because I am a #RepeatOffender, I knew that this skirt could be styled for both summer and winter. For my look today, I decided to rock the skirt with my Lavender's Jungle custom crinoline, Old Navy Turtleneck, Cato Houndstooth coat (several years old), and Lane Bryant super opaque tights. To round out the look I added my Just Fab pumps, Alter Ego Clutch and Banana Republic pearl necklace/brooch (3 years old). 

What do you think? I am so in love with this skirt and just the vintage style at Tatyana Boutique. There's something about wearing a skirt and a crinoline that makes you want to twirl and kick your heels up. I hope this look inspires you to "Make the world your personal runway"!

See you on the front row-
