The Edgar Gomez Collection
The designer is not plus size. As a lover of fashion, his collection was too beautiful not share. I was invited to an event for the preview of a collection from Dallas rising star, Edgar Gomez. He did a perfect job with presentation, ambiance, and his overall collection. It was just so romantic, flowy, and breath taking. I loved it!!! Is there a chance of him creating plus sizes? I actually probed his bestie, a plus size gal, for the answer. Unfortunately, no he doesn't. I would love one of his peplum tops.

Designer to Watch: SK WiLBUR
Yesterday plus size designer, SK WiLBUR, released this fabulous editorial photo of his upcoming Fall 2012 Collection. For those of you who don't know this designer actually released a line before, but took a small break to regroup, refocus, and come back more fabulous than ever! Do I see a studded sleeve fuchsia dress!?!? LOVE! That fabulously tailored gray dress should not be overlooked either. I love the touch of fur! The designer himself makes an appearance in this adorable ad as well.

Clements Ribeiro Plus Size Collection for Evans
I can't believe Dallas has had some day where I can logically wear my new spring coat. I thought I was going to have to wait until next year to whip out this Clements Ribeiro for Evans piece. This coat gave me the perfect opportunity to switch things up with this skirt, a previously worn piece. I love the combination of these three prints. It's so fun!
Some of you may be wondering about the Clements Ribeiro Plus Size Collection for Evans. I have to be honest, I had never heard of this designer before Evans put out the line. I must say I could see myself buying almost every piece. I actually bought two items, this coat and this dress. I decided to keep the coat. It is so hard to find a fabulous plus size spring coat. The definitely coat gave me a Carrie Bradshaw feel. Her coats so effortlessly stepped up her outfits. Anyways, the fabric was lovely and the weight of the coat was just perfect for those chillier spring days. I will say the dress I bought and returned was cut extremely straight. It was a beautiful dress and I would have loved to try a different size, but Evans doesn't have free shipping or free returns. That was a turn off for me. I suggest if you order, order one size up and be prepared to get it tailored if you have a curvier body type. For you straighter gals this may be the perfect fit for you. I didn't hear a lot of hype around this collection, I am thinking it was because of the price points. This line was a bit more expensive than the regular Evans clothing. I thought the clothes were well worth the price though. From what I saw, the clothing matches the pricing.
Outfit Logistics: Top - Old Navy $25, Skirt - Asos $44 (sold out), Spring Coat - Evans Clements Ribeiro Collection $165, Necklace - Liz Claiborne $15 (super old), Belt - Michael Kors $42, Shoes - Nordstrom Rack $35
Your question are coming left and right and I love it! To help with your shapewear questions I will start to post the under garment I am wearing with the current outfit. What am I wearing underneath this ensemble? See this Spanx High Waisted Shaper in Plus Sizes.
Have any of you picked up a piece from the Clements Ribeiro Collection for Evans?

Handle with Care
I have gotten a lot of emails, comments, & tweets saying that you ladies have been investing in your wardrobes, so I wanted to give some pointers on protecting your investments. As you have heard me say, I have owned some pieces for 5+ years. When I invest in a piece, I take to the following steps to make sure the garment is maintained over the years. These 6 tips can help you keep investment pieces for as long as you want to have them.
1. I do not wash/dry clean an item after every time I wear it. Now I don't want you to think I'm dirty. I may wear something 4 - 5 times before having it cleaned. Let me explain. I wear a shapewear everyday, so generally my bare skin doesn't even tough the garment. If I don't get any food on my clothes then in my book that dress can be worn again without cleaning.
2. I'm careful when I eat. In the case that I do get food on the garment I spot clean immediately. Sometimes you can get the food/drink completely out. Regardless, you don't want that stain to set in.
3. Save yourself and get your investment clothes dry cleaned. I have accidentally washed investment pieces and been devastated when I found them in the dryer. It's happened 3 times. Two were wool and the other was silk jersey. Needless to say, all pieces were ruined. When you wash pieces lose their luster. With dry cleaning you can keep your items like new. If if the item was cheap (or made out of a cheap fabric), but I really love the garment I get it dry cleaned. I know once I wash the item cheaper items you might as well throw it in the trash.
3. When I do wash, I wash with Woolite. I wash things like cardigans and I want to keep the colors vibrant, so I always have a little contain of Woolite around for color guard.
4. Take garments to the tailor as needed. If something needs to be fixed, such as a fallen hem or an open seam then take it to get it fixed before the problem gets worse and more expensive to repair.
5. As my mom would say, pick up your clothes off the floor! Having your nice clothes crumpled on the floor is no way to treat an item you love. Hang them up. This will cut down on your ironing time.
6. Rotate! I keep garments in constant rotation. I try not to wear once particular item over and over. I mix and match different pieces all the time, so that one piece isn't getting too much wear and tear. This also will allow you to wear a old piece in a new way.
I hope this was helpful.
Sidenote: These are my new babies....LOL. The shoe gods bestowed upon me a fabulous pair of shoes at the right height, width, and size. Ask Kiah from the Rez to the City, I did the hammer in the store when I found them. I like to break out a dance when I get really excited. Again I say, I love Nordstrom Rack for fab size 11 shoes!
