Personal Style | Colorful Plus Size Shift Dress ft. Nordstrom Rack

July 28, 2015 by Whitney 25 Comments

I’m all for colorful, stretchy, printed shift dresses…all year! Plus size shift dresses have become one of the easiest garments to style and shop for. During the warmer months I tend to gravitate towards dresses, especially maxi’s and tunic dresses. So when I saw this Maggy London beauty on sale online at Nordstrom Rack I knew it had to be a wardrobe addition. Another reason I was drawn to this dress was the versatility; this garment can be worn during any and every season.

Plus Size OOTD - Shift Dress

I’ve been searching for a stylish black backpack, preferably one to fit my broad back, and thank goodness I found the perfect match. I was browsing TJ MAXX last week and there it was, on sale and in near perfect condition. It was ALL MINE!

The perfect casual and chic #ootd for sightseeing and hanging out! #wnjstyle

This backpack was the perfect addition to this casual chic outfit. I actually wore this OOTD while hanging out with hubby in downtown Old Ellicott City (MD). Although our main purpose was to snap pics, we ended up walking around for a while. It’s the perfect quaint and historic location to visit for a day trip. There are tons of cute shops and restaurants and the cobblestone streets give off that ideal historic vibe.
