OOTD: Plus Size Cocoon Dress and Statement Necklace

OOTD: Plus Size Cocoon Dress and Statement Necklace

I go totally nuts for a great silhouette, and I’m always on the lookout for something different than an empire waist, a-line, or sheath dress. During Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale, I found this amazing Belted Cap Sleeve Teal Dress from Sejour. What a great color, right? A creamy blue teal is so dreamy and the shape…the shape! It’s a cross between a cocoon dress and a butterfly dress, and it’s all about the drapey folds and tie belt in the front, while the back falls in a straight line to the knee.

To really set off the dress, I knew I had to have a killer statement necklace. So my friends at Happiness Boutique (an online jewelry and clothing boutique out of Europe) were kind enough to send me this fabulous piece. It’s a gold collar necklace with metal dangling bits and an old-world, vintage feel. It’s already sold out on their site, but check out the other amazing statement necklaces that Happiness Boutique carries here.

I finished this unique look off with some gold chain platform wedges that I found at Nordstrom Rack a while ago…

I felt confident and stylish all day in this outfit. The Sejour belted dress runs large, so order a size down…and if you’re scoping it out in stores, just try it. It has little hanger appeal, but looks totally different once your curves are filling it out!
