TIPS FOR SHOPPING AS A PLUS WOMAN // + where to shop plus sizes in Atlanta

Whether you’re local or just visiting, I get asked this question a lot: Where do I go shopping in Atlanta if I am above a size 14?! Below I’ve rounded up the best places to shop in the area. I’ve also listed several brands that I love that unfortunately do not sell in store, but are worth looking around online.

Shopping, especially as a woman above a size 14, can be extremely frustrating. I’m sharing a few of my tips on how to make your shopping experience a little more enjoyable, and hopefully fall back in love with dressing yourself!

PLUS SIZE & PREGNANT // BUMP FRIENDLY (non-maternity) TOPS

Guess what?! You don’t HAVE TO BUY maternity tops. During this last pregnancy, I tried something new. I ONLY bought a few actual maternity items. You can see the specific list here of what I think is important! For everything else, like tops - all I did was size up! I did this because in theory, I knew I wasn’t going to want anything tight fitting once I was postpartum anyway… so having an oversized sweater to wear that is cute would actually work out perfectly.

MY ELOQUII HITLIST

This ones for my ladies size 14 and up! If you're a VIP subscriber to my Monday email list, then you've probably seen the special discount code that is only for you guys! AND IT'S AMAZING (50% off one item and 40% off the rest!!)

ELOQUII is the highest quality plus sized clothing I've found and I love their unique style. Here's what I think you need to grab before the discount is expires on September 10! Oh, and if you need the code... scroll down to the bottom ;)

I've gotten this question a lot - and I totally understand why. High waisted denim first made it's come back as a style choice that I honestly only saw smaller women wearing.

NORDSTROM SALE PICKS // PUBLIC ACCESS IS ON! All sizes + shoes!

PLUS SIZE & PREGNANT // a little birdie told me...

... that you DON'T have to spend a fortune on maternity clothing when you're pregnant! I've made it my mission this pregnancy to find non-maternity clothes that work WITH or WITHOUT a bump. Here's my latest find from the new Draper James drop with Eloquii.

SO YOU'RE NOT A SIZE ZERO

Yeah... me neither. And you know what? I don't think I've ever been that size. That's right... I skipped it. I literally went from like a size 14 in girls to a size 8 in women's overnight. Or that's what it felt like at least.
