I need summer fashion role models. So summer is upon us again. Along with my self-consciousness about dressing for hot weather while still looking at least moderately fashionable.
Summer clothes are always hard for me because I am (and always have been) a size Average American (anywhere from a 10-14, 5'4") and it's hard for me to find clothes that feel fashionable, somewhat comfortable, weather-appropriate (i.e. no weird fabrics) and not skimpy. I feel really self-conscious in a way that I don't when wearing clothes during the rest of the year. Unfortunately, I feel like my only alternatives to skimpy, cute summer things are full-on frumpy clothes, which I also hate, because I love fashion.
I am looking for some inspiration for average/plus-sized women who wear summer clothes with style and look great. I need ideas for outfits as well as a general confidence boost that I can look good, fashionable and summery even though I'm not tall and willowy.
I'm probably looking for blogs like Already Pretty and Gabifresh, though I'm open to anything that will show pictures of women in cute summer clothes. My only requirement is that it show women around a size 10 and up (I have no problem finding outfit ideas that look cute on women who are smaller). Bonus if they also list where they bought the clothes they're wearing. Double bonus if said clothes are from places that are widely accessible and affordable (e.g. H&M or Gap).
