Listen, summer season is my jam!!! Lol. I am always excited about the season approaching, whether it’s the fashion or the weather; I LOVE it! Winter is too cold, spring teases me, fall is a nice mix, but early summer is just right, because we manage to get the rays of sunshine without the overbearing heat in all of our plus size maxi dresses!

There is newness, warmth, and excitement, or is this just me? But, do you know what that means? Great weather and an even greater wardrobe. And since it’s not too hot or cold, it makes for the perfect time and temp to wear fun and playful plus size maxi dresses!
