A reader recently tipped me off to LucieLu, another great website with plus-sized clothing for the modern gal. I love the manifesto of the company,
“The day is here. Fashion knows no size & cool is determined by individual style & confidence.” –LL
It is my goal to drive my brand with style, rather than size. To make as many original pieces as i can, all the while striving for great fits, wearable looks, not too young, not too old, gotta have them in my closet CLOTHES!
The LucieLu line will always be part timeless classics & part trend. A mix & match collection that will easily lend itself to cultivating your individual style. Play it safe or take a risk. Borrow from others or invent it yourself. Go neutral or pop a color. Be conservative or be bold. Keep comfortable or put yourself out there. And in the end, your style is born.
The collection right now is small, but there’s definitely some great pieces in there… here’s how I’d wear my favorites (with a little bit of “If Money Were No Object” thrown in):
Delaney Skirt, $36; Dresdin Jacket, $35
Outfit details here.
Kolbie Jacket, $36; Patience Skirt, $39; Lace Leggings, $19; Tatum Dress, $48
Outfit details here.
Aveen Dress, $39; Skye Cable Sweater, $28; Zipper Tee, $36
Outfit Details here.
Plus sized clothing, that’s cute & affordable? I’ll take it all, please!
Has anyone had any experience with LucieLu? How did you like the quality, what are the products like?

I love the looks you put together..I guess I can see her!
I should start eating more!!! I don’t have any experience with them but plus size or not, the pieces look lovely! I especially love the shoes and the accessories! The polip brooch is very cute.

the diamante octopus brooch is fantastic and i also like the styling of that whole look.
It’s actually a ring by Noir…
That little octo-brooch is calling to me! How gorgeous.

That\’s actually a ring by Noir Jewelry. They make lovely pieces!
I’m just under their size range, but damn, they have some CUTE stuff. I need to pass this on to some friends – thanks for the tip Ashe!

Of course I was immediately drawn to the octopus ring, considering my obsession with rings. Gorgeous ensembles!

I am below the borderline for plus size these days (yay!) but I still can totally appreciate the style and am thankful more clothes are coming out for larger women! Trying to find cute clothes above a size 14 is practically impossible!! the tatum dress and aveen dresses are gorgeous, off to check them out. :)
Cool picks, as always! I unfortunately don’t have experience w/LucieLu to share (though, as an aside, I do have a cocktail ring from Noir Jewelry that I adore!)
PS, there’s an award waiting for you at my blog! http://bit.ly/bGwdft
so much eyecandy!
Even though I’m not a plus size I find it a good thing that companies finally start making nice and modern looking clothes for women with more curves ;-)
Nice picks, all make cool outfits!
I don’t know much about plus sized clothing, but it alarms me that there is a limited selection of high quality and stylish looking garments available. It seems unfair, and I always feel a little bit disgruntled when I buy from labels that only do smaller sizes.
I love what they are doing, and the outfits you put together. Also semi unrelated, I like the shoes you picked out. You have good taste!
