The perfect garden party dress

This modern floral print floral dress from avenue is the perfect garden party dress!  The faux wrap top with banded waist is such a flattering silhouette on any plus size woman.  The bold modern print is still feminine but will make you stand out from the pastels of spring.  Wear it with a shrug for coverage or just on it's own, either way choose a few bangles for the wrist but keep the neckline clean.  Match it with ballet flats or strappy heeled sandals depending on the place you wear it to.

Trust me, you will love this dress!

Steal the look for less!

I adore this flowy DVF top but can't afford the designer price tag, so I LOVE the Jessica London Pleat-Neck Flutter-Sleeve Tee with the attractive price from $29.99!

My go to summer dress!

Very rarely do you fall in love with dress that will look good on almost everybody, but I have!

This faux wrap dress from Jessica London is going to be your go to dress through the summer.  The faux wrap top is so flattering because it enhances the bust (big or small) without revealing to much.  The tie wrap gives it an empire waist line that is wide enough that it gives everyone a great waist.  Then the full skirt!! I am just going to take a moment to share how much I LOVE a full skirt! A full skirt hides a midsection but in such a flattering lady-like way that people can't help but envy the look.  

In addition to the great style, this dress is 100% cotton & lined so you are going to be very comfortable wearing it.  It comes in 4 colors so get your basic black or be bold and get it in a great spring color, I got watermelon cause I love bright colors.

Throw on a shrug for some coverage so you can wear it work and church or match with chunky jewelry and strappy sandals for a night out. 

Trust me you will not go wrong with this dress!

Heart Truth Charity Celebrity Fashion Show!

My co-worker and I were lucky enough to go to the annual Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection show in Bryant Park . The event has been staged since 2002 to help highlight awareness of heart disease, which has been acknowledged as the number one killer of women in America.  Roaman's has been involved with Heart Truth for several years and we had the honor of being the company's proud representatives.

The theme of the show was red dresses (representing Heart) by top designers worn by celebrities.

It was a true treat to get see a fashion show in the main tent and I had to share, I hope you enjoy my pictures.

“First Lady Chic”

Hi Everyone! I am very excited to introduce myself, My name is Erica and I am one of the Buyers for Jessica London.  With years of plus-size buying experience surrounding me I am always looking for the next look, trend, or clothing item to bring to you.

Since our new First Lady has come to the White House, I can't stop thinking about her wonderful sense of style and the influence it has over me.  Michelle Obama wears mondern classics, such as her 60's style shifts, that feel fresh and new with help of color, belts, and necklaces.  Michelle, Like her husband is a great combination of style and substance.  She is well-educated, a lawyer, a mother, and a wife. These characteristics epitomize the modern woman.  As a busy modern woman, She  sticks with a functional yet chic style that relies on savvy updates to classic pieces.  I believe many of us busy, driven women can take a cue from Michelle Obama's style.

With this in mind, here are my top picks from Jessica London that I feel would win the approval of our First Lady!

The Ruffled Skirt Suit - chic and classic to help you put your best foot forward.

The Stretch Ponte Knit Dress - an essential dress that makes a busy day much easier.

The Tweed Jacket Dress - a timeless piece that never goes ouot of style.

The Simmer Necklace - adds a glamorous touch to any ensemble.

Woven Belt - pulls together your look and creates a great silhouette.

Leather Lizard Look Pumps - a great way to finish any look.
