Today’s fruity plus size outfit inspiration is plucked fresh from the vine and ready for your fashion tastebuds to explore. This sassy and currant look gives a purple punch to the day, with rebellious undertones and an artsy flair.
I like taking inspiration from life when I plan outfits. Instead of trying to dress up like the celebrity do jour, I think about what faces me that day. So for example, if I need to be creative I’ll make sure my outfit is inspiring. If I need to be professional, my look will be reaffirming. If I need to feel sexy, my threads are my fashion pheromones. Every day I think about what I need to be, and my clothing supports me in my journey.
As soon as I opened this rich currant peasant blouse from Ellos, I knew I wanted to do an plus size outfit that riffed on the beatnik scene of the 60s. The shirt spoke to me of injustice and rich, dark coffee. It spoke to me of Jack Karouac conversations and the down trodden misunderstood youth of the world. One could argue the millennial perspective is just a re-envisioned display of gritty exploratory nature of our parents/grandparents generation’s subculture. Whoa, I am rocking some deep thoughts this Tuesday morning. Deep. Deep thoughts.
I may have never said this before, but every girl should own a statement vest. I was so pleased the camera actually captured the chiffony, semi-opaque realness this vest boasts. It provides a nice peak of not only the the bold grafitti prints pants but also the berry beautiful blouse below. The seaming provides a nice visual interests that elevates the look.
