Nordstrom is one of my favorite retailers because when they have sales, they HAVE SALES… ya know what I’m sayin’?! They have Cyber Week deals that go live Wednesday the 27th and it is the perfect time to snag that high quality item you’ve been eyeing for a discounted price.

SHOPPING AS A PLUS SIZE WOMAN ON BLOOMINGDALES.COM // luxury doesn't stop at your size

DRESS | BOOTS

This post is sponsored by Bloomingdales. All opinions are my own and this is a topic I was honored to share about. If you shop from these links I may get a small commission off of any product you purchase, which helps keep this blog going. Thank you!

Bloomingdales carries a lot of extended sizing and I bet you didn’t know that (because I didn’t either until this year)!! Today I am sharing this luxurious dress from Lafayette148. This is special to me because it is true luxury, made in my size (2x). As a plus size woman, I don’t often feel included especially in luxury clothing items.

SIZE INCLUSIVE SALE ROUNDUP // Anthropologie, J. Crew, Madewell, LOFT

It’s Columbus Day weekend, and a lot of retailers are having big sales. As a plus size woman - this can be so overwhelming! As we are transitioning into Fall weather, I like to be very intentional about the items I buy and why. This year we saw a lot of movement in the fashion industry towards more size inclusivity, and now would be a good time to try some higher quality clothing for really affordable prices. Like, we’re talking Target prices, people! A lot of these items also come in standard!

I’ve broken things down to hopefully make this super easy for you to shop.

ROUND-UP // FALL BOOTS YOU SERIOUSLY NEED TO SNAG

HAT | SKIRT | TEE | JACKET | BAG | SUNNIES | BOOTS

My favorite season of all is HERE! One way I love adding dimension to my fall/winter outfits is by throwing on a cute pair of booties or tall boots. I don’t always need wide calf, so this round-up includes mostly wide calf but also a few non wide brands & styles I’ve tried that worked for me. Boots can be SO hard - especially if you’re like me. I need COMFORT, and I need them to not look ridiculous. Ha!

THREE THINGS I NEED IN A BOOT:

BRA REVIEW // the prettiest, basic t-shirt bra you didn't know you needed

This post is sponsored by Bare Necessities, a brand I tried and loved. Thank you for supporting House of Dorough. Anything you purchase from these links may give me a small commission.

It’s comfortable and you don’t have to think twice about it — that’s MY kinda everyday grab and go bra, honestly. I am loving this little bra review adventure I’ve been on for a few months! So when Bare Necessities reached out to me, of course I said yes… bras are SO hard, especially when you have had babies or gone through extreme weight loss or weight gain.

NYFW DAY/NIGHT 4 // what I wore + where I went in this ethically made dress

DRESS | SHOES | BAG

Before I go into detail about this ethically made plus size designer… let’s chat real quick about my Day 4 of fashion week. It was my last full day in NYC. That morning was “the morning” when I experienced all of this (click to read post), so for the afternoon I went back to the hotel and chilled for a little while. Then I pulled myself together, and made my way to Spring Studios to see two fashion shows. The first one was Chiara Boni la Petite Robe which was beautiful, but I was disheartened that they didn’t have any plus size representation on the runway (considering they do carry it, I was surprised).

STYLE SESSION // 3 WAYS TO STYLE WHITE JEANS FOR FALL

JEANS | SHOP ALL THREE LOOKS

Hey friends! Tonight I’m showing you how to take your white jeans from summer and wear them in the Fall. I am a big fan of wearing white ALL year! Why not? It can be so chic!

First things first, these are my favorite jeans to date and I just found them ON SALE FOR $83. I have tried a million and one pairs of white denim. These fit my curves and make me feel amazing. They normally retail for around $140. Sometimes in Good American I size up to a 20, but in these I take a size 18.

IT WAS MY FIRST TIME GOING TO THE CURVYCON // and here's what I wore and what I thought

SHOP ALL 3 LOOKS HERE

Anthropologie sponsored my trip to The CurvyCon this year, and I was more than honored to attend on their behalf. The CurvyCon was really amazing… since I was floating back and forth from NYFW events to CurvyCon events I noticed a stark difference.

If you read my post from yesterday, I talk about the fatphobic vibes that surrounded NYFW. It’s easy to feel defeated in those situations, but I gathered all of my video footage from the CurvyCon and I want you to watch it.

FATPHOBIA AT NEW YORK FASHION WEEK // we have a lot of work to do

CARDIGAN | DRESS | BOOTS | SUNNIES | BAG

Before you see the word “fatphobia” and roll your eyes… don’t. Hear me out.

A year and a half ago, one of my readers responded to my Instagram story where I mentioned I hated the word FAT… and she straight up told me I was fatphobic. In the moment, I got defensive. I swiftly explained to her that the word FAT was extremely hurtful to me and caused me a lot of pain. And that I shouldn’t have to hear that word if I don’t want to.
