#mycurvyValentine: Plus Size Outfits and Body Positive Project

Fashion by Boardroom BlondeFebruary 5, 2015March 26, 2015

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, whether you’re single & fabulous; boo’d up & drunk on love or married & cozy, you’ll need a plan. Setting up the purrrfect Valentine’s day requires three things:

1. the feelings

2. the outfit

3. the gift

THE FEELINGS

Body positivity is not just for plus size women – its a concept that women of all sizes should embrace. If you’ve ever spent a Valentine’s Day on the couch, thinking about that guy that doesn’t seem to notice you, this is for you. If you’re just not that into wearing that hot little red dress because you don’t have the perfect body, this is for you. If you’ve worked hard all year [yes all 30+ days] to firm up those buns and are satisfied with your body, this is for you!

Body Positive Giveaway! To enter, post your outfit of the day or selfie photo on instagram, twitter and/or facebook and share your commitment to loving yourself using #mycurvyValentine [your profile must be set to public; official giveaway details below*]. I’ll repost my favorites on Instagram on February 14th! One lucky winner will receive something special from yours truly!

THE OUTFIT

A few of my favorite plus size bloggers have rallied their Valentine spirit to help you choose the perfect #valentine #ootd ! Just click the links below and you’ll go straight to their sites where you can get all of the deets on these fabulous outfits!

But first, let me tell you about my gorgeous red dress from Torrid; available here! Use code SPRINGUP for 50% off

Shape: Fit and Flare
Size: I sized up because the color is bright and I’m not a fan of spanx [I prefer a seemless fit]. I’m wearing a size 22
Fabric: Stretchy and comfortable; unlikely to wrinkle

I’m all about comfort, so naturally, I chose these cute red flats from Nordies, similar here:

and popped on my favorite Tiffany & Co necklace, available here.

Jeniese of Jen ne sais quoi

Cynthia of Flight of the Fat Girl

Sometimes Glam

Glitter Odyssey

The Life and Style of Jessica

THE GIFT

If your Valentine is you, then do something special that you haven’t done in a long time. Otherwise, Crystal and I discuss a few fabulous gift options here: [We also have a pretty HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT at the end of the video!]

But if you’d rather gift that special someone a night of romance, try a romantic picnic at the park!

Me and Sometimes Glam gathered our favorite Valentine decorations and put together this table full of Valentiney goodness!

We chose this adorable mug and filled it with mini roses. Two tones of pink is just perfect for a Valentine’s Day bouquet.

And it wouldn’t be Valentine’s Day without a red velvet cupcake !

But the best part of this table setting, is quite obviously the Kate Spade Scarf [similar here] – while we love this look, using silk for a table setting can be risky. Take extra care and use it at the end of the table so that you don’t finish the evening soaked in Kate Spade tears.

Last but certainly not least, grab your favorite wreathe and two of your fanciest candles. For more on this Valentine’s Day table setup click here!

One lucky winner will receive special box from yours truly, filled with a few of my favorite goodies; a little something from Coach and Bath and Body Works and more!
