Baby Phat Plus Size Dress, Flutter Sleeve Floral Print Knit $54 - Macy's

As you probably already know I have a love/hate relationship with Baby Phat. This is one of those times when I find myself loving what Baby Phat has to offer us plus sized and fabulous ladies. Both the dress and the sleeveless top are flattering to fuller figures and I love the black and red combination. What do you think? Love the dress? Love the top? Or are you just not feeling either one? Let me know what you think!

Old Navy Wool Blend Coat

Women's Plus Short Wool-Blend Coats

$82.00 at Old Navy

A not so secret truth about me is that I rarely wear coats. I don't like them. I just don't like the idea of knowing eventually I'll be carrying that coat around once I've reached my destination. If I know that I can get away with it, I'll dash from one heated place to another never having to worry about the bothersome on and off associated with wearing outerwear.

Unfortunately, for me at least, there are times when nothing less than a warm coat will do. Thankfully there are some fabulously cute options in outerwear for plus size women and some great pricing too.

This cute double breasted wool coat is nicely priced and comes in three colors,saucy red, black and chinchilla.

I think I might be in the throes of a bootie-gasm! Ok, so take your mind out of the gutter! I love these booties, but after a twisted ankle nearly a year ago and a recent re-twist, I don't think I'll be going anywhere near heels like these anytime soon! But a girl can wish and these I do adore! What about you? Do you love them or not so much?

More thin models for plus size fashion

Baby Phat Plus Size Dress, Sleeveless Halter Fatigue Print Mini

Okay, so I normally love what Baby Phat Plus has to offer full figure women. And Kimora? I think she is fabulous. What isn't so fabulous is that these models aren't anywhere near ever being plus size. In fact they aren't even your size 8 models that are usually passed off as plus size!

Enough is enough!! I can't even look at these dresses without the distinct feeling that it wasn't a woman like me that Baby Phat had in mind no matter the "Plus" on the label. It angers me to no end that a size zero was used to model these dresses. I want to see what this dress looks like on a woman who has a body with some meat on her bones. No disrespect to the model, she looks great but the outfits do say plus size and well, that she isn't.

So it seems for every two steps that the fashion industry takes forward in selection and style of our plus size attire, they are bound to take a step or two back in some other way. In this case by passing over what must have certainly been some very beautiful plus size models in favor of thin yet again.
