destinations that you're going to head 0:30 to on this January or early spring or 0:34 just thinking about your early spring 0:35 wardrobe we're going to talk dresses 0:37 today so as a curvy gal I love dresses 0:41 um they can do wonderful things for your 0:44 silhouette and I'm going to show you 0:45 three different ones that I think should 0:47 be in every curvy gals closet however 0:49 these would be great for any body type 0:51 especially this little dress 0:53 particularly on petites so this is by 0:56 everieve it's our Juliana and it is 0:59 adorable this color is my favorite you 1:01 know I love coral the color is called 1:04 cayenne and it is so fun for spring 1:08 travel wear casually with sneakers 1:11 during the day but pack that sandal for 1:13 dinner in the evening in addition to the 1:15 color I love the details so I have the 1:18 sleeve ruched up but it's a great spring 1:20 Trend transitional dress because it has 1:23 a full sleeve and look at the eyelet 1:25 details so pretty on your arm and then 1:28 that eyelet detail is also here at the 1:30 bottom you don't see through that as 1:32 much because this great little dress is 1:34 lined which makes it really really easy 1:36 to wear great little v-neck which I love 1:39 for broader shoulders and then this belt 1:41 which is perfect for my more rectangle 1:44 body type because I can really create 1:45 that waistline so just very fun playful 1:49 but also incredibly comfortable these 1:52 little sneakers okay so if you received 1:54 our catalog 1:55 you saw we have a whole collection of 1:57 Gola sneakers love these little sneakers 1:59 this one's called Grand Slam Coral here 2:02 a little bit of pink and royal blue on 2:04 the back so so fun with this dress but 2:07 I'm just thinking you know clean easy 2:09 casual that great sneaker that'll take 2:11 you all the way through the spring 2:13 season in addition to the sneaks 2:16 the jewelry here so layered necklaces 2:18 continue to be really important through 2:19 the spring season I've got this on with 2:21 just a really staple nice solid gold 2:24 goryana piece but then layered with just 2:28 a little pop of color and Beads which 2:31 just really plays off this dress so 2:33 great little accessories to pull it all 2:35 together okay next dress the Michael 2:37 Stars ruched Wren dress we have carried 2:41 this for a few seasons now and it's 2:42 because it is a home run on all body 2:45 types so I'll show you this today kind 2:47 of accessories over a black dress great 2:51 little transition into spring wherever 2:53 your travels take you and so let's start 2:56 with accessories first then we'll kind 2:57 of get down to the stress so paired this 3:00 with a jean jacket easy peasy right take 3:02 a great jean jacket layer that over a 3:04 dress for spring this one's a little 3:06 little bit different it's by a Goldie 3:07 it's called the shrunken Charlie so it's 3:10 a little bit cropped and a little bit 3:12 oversized so a different silhouette for 3:14 your closet it's a great black 3:15 distressed color so I think this would 3:18 go with a lot of different things this 3:20 is definitely the pop right so this is a 3:23 new introduction of a crossbody by think 3:25 royland so great black and white 3:26 checkered print still has all the great 3:29 features of think royland their pockets 3:31 I just I love these for travel I have 3:34 all sorts of bags from them 3:36 um so this just pops any outfit and then 3:40 finally this great saddle sandal by 3:42 Dolce Vita so this is called the bloom 3:45 sandal and it has this great braided 3:48 feature here nice little crossover super 3:52 super comfortable but also really high 3:55 fashion this is a great little pickup 3:57 for spring as well so let's talk about 4:00 this dress all right so once you layer 4:04 this up with the accessories you get 4:06 yourself ready for maybe a little bit 4:08 chillier weather with the jacket this is 4:11 the reason we keep this dress on hand so 4:15 it has a great little high crew neck 4:17 perfect for that little layer this is 4:19 just a little multi-strand silver if 4:22 you're looking to pick up a silver piece 4:24 this is a two in one so you get the 4:26 layered look with the you know 4:28 investment of one piece a little bit of 4:30 a layer on the same silver ring here and 4:34 then it this dress is really all about 4:37 how it fits you through the middle so 4:38 this ruching goes all the way up through 4:41 the side so you kind of decide where 4:44 this hits you you can play with the 4:46 ruching do you want to cover anything 4:48 disguise anything through the middle you 4:50 kind of play where with that where that 4:51 ruching Falls I love what this does for 4:54 the shoulder line with that kind of v in 4:57 From Below kind of creates a triangle on 4:59 your body and it just is a beautiful 5:02 beautiful silhouette okay last 5:05 silhouettes and saving the best for last 5:08 every day I end up with a little bit of 5:10 a favorite when I do a try on and I have 5:12 to tell you this is the one so this 5:14 little dress is by Amanda up Richards it 5:17 is called the chamomile dress obviously 5:19 the color is this beautiful emerald 5:21 green and if you have an event coming up 5:24 this season this would be Perfection if 5:26 you've got a little wedding you're 5:28 attending 5:29 um and you're planning that well in 5:31 advance as I know a lot of us do this 5:33 would be perfect so let me walk you 5:35 through the details of this first of all 5:37 obviously the color is a show stopper 5:40 and one of the best things about this 5:42 dress but something I'm not sure if 5:43 you'll see on camera is this feel of the 5:46 fabric and so it isn't cotton it has 5:49 this kind of taffeta feel to it so it 5:51 really kind of elevates it you could 5:53 definitely dress this down do a little 5:55 sneaker and do something fun and casual 5:58 but this can definitely be something 6:00 that also takes you to even an outdoor 6:02 wedding this season the next thing I 6:04 love about this dress is the silhouette 6:07 so I know sometimes dresses like this 6:10 are tough like if I have a bust is this 6:12 something I can wear this is obviously 6:14 very friendly to the bust and also fun
