Hey y'all!
Have you ever watched a show or flipped though a magazine and wonder, " oh I wonder if they have that in my size?" Of course you have, we all do it.... especially us plus size ladies that love trendy and of course super cute outfits.
I remember being younger and forced to shop in the women's section because most trendy stores capped at a 12/14. Need I say more about how horrible that was lol. Find stores that had cute, age appropriate fashion was like pulling teeth. Thankfully as I got older and into my high school years, more stores started to carry plus sizes and I was able to find things here and there that were "in" and not in the women's section.
So now that fashion is embracing larger bodies and designers are creating pieces that are flattering curvy figures it can all seem a bit overwhelming when trying to find just the right piece.
But where exactly are the best places to find trendy plus size clothes?

1. Target- Target has amazingly stylish clothes that are on trend and range all the way to a 4x. A lot of my dresses have come from Target and I love all of them. Make sure you check out the clearance section too. You can find a lot of items marked all the way up to 70% off. In my opinion, they have some of the most trendy plus size clothes for women.

2. Walmart- Walmart has stepped up their game within the last few years. A lot of their plus size clothes are on trend and pretty comfortable. One thing I have realized about Walmart's clothes are that they tend to be more fitting for longer legs and shorter torsos. Having shorter legs and most of my weight in my midsection, I wish they had more tops that were just a tad longer.

3. Ross- I love Ross! They have great prices and hidden gems in every department. They have great trendy plus size clothes and even some designer labels all at a reasonable price. The only thing about Ross stores is that they are all different. You have to check out several stores before finding your favorite one.
4. TJ Maxx- Another great place to find trendy plus size clothes is at TJ Maxx. To me, TJ Maxx is very similar to Ross but a little more "upscale". You can find many different name brands and they will still be more affordable than most department stores.

5.Forever21 Plus- Forever 21 at one point was my go to place. Not so much anymore since my taste has changed in clothing. However, Forever 21 Plus always has trendy plus size clothes in a variety of sizes and looks at decent prices.
6. Kohl's- Most of their plus size items can be found online as opposed the the store, but Kohl's always has a great selection of trendy plus size clothes.
7. Amazon- I have several friends that frequent Amazon for clothing. While they fall into the mid size clothing range, they have informed me that there are larger sizes available in the selections they chose. You can always find what you want and need on Amazon lol.

8. Dress Barn- Dress Barn has amazing plus size clothes. They are a little more on the costly side but worth every penny. One of my husband's favorite dresses that I own comes from Dress Barn. Dress Barn offers great, professional styles that are of high quality without the designer price.
9. Torrid- Growing up torrid was my GO- TO store. However, my little Chili's income was not enough to keep me in their threads. But I was able to snag some great pants and dresses from them. I feel like their prices have become more shopper friendly over the years so grabbing a few staple pieces won't break the bank.
10. Shein Curve- I personally have not had the chance to order from them but I have heard nothing less than positive reviews. Shein offers a wide variety of styles at super affordable prices. One thing I love about their site is that they have tons of buyer photos so you can see a variety of body shapes and how the sizes fit.
With these 10 stores, you can find great plus size clothes that are in style and that won't blow your budget. Have you shopped at any of these stores? Where do you find your trendy plus size clothes? Let me know in the comments!

Hey y'all!
Looking for some healthy snack ideas for the kids? Then look no further. These healthy snacks are perfect for kids and their busy bodies. Summer has arrived and those kiddies are probably even more hungry now than ever since they are playing more, swimming more and of course lounging around doing nothing lol.
I don't know about your kids, but if they are anything like mine then they would rather snack all day than have an actual meal. The only time they really want to sit and eat is around dinner time. Probably because my husband is an amazing cook. My kids thrive off snacking.
Recently, my husband became a permanent work from home employee and while I am only part time, my days are very busy and can be very long. So, in an effort to make sure they are still eating healthy snacks and not cause disruption during our "business hours", I decided to take snacking to a whole new level for the kids.
A snack cart!
Having a snack cart will give the kids options throughout they day, me peace of mind knowing it's not all junk (which we rarely buy) and ensuring that they are taken care of while daddy and I are busy at work.
But what all should go on a healthy snack cart?
Well that really depends on you and your family's preference and needs. For our family, fruity snacks, plenty of water and fulfilling items are a must. So, I made sure to include as many of those types of things as possible.
To start your snack cart off right, make sure you have something that is sturdy, easily moveable and spacious enough to host a variety of things. I picked up this utility cart from Target for only $35 ( yay gift cards!) My SIL has one that is similar from Ikea and she said it is roughly the same price.

Next I stocked up on some spring water and flavor enhancers so they can shake it up a bit. We have been trying to cut out excess sugar by switching to flavored water or enhancers. This way- they will still get plenty of water but it won't be so boring.

After that, I grabbed their favorite fruity snacks. Apple sauce, fruit strips and of course some fruit snacks. I tend to alternate some of these from time to time but I was already at Target so I just grabbed everything from there.
Finally, I picked up the fulfilling items. Carbs and healthy fats! Thai loves pistachios so I grabbed a big container of those. Then I headed to the bulk section and grabbed Cliff bars, pop corn, gold fish and pretzels. The kiddos love all of these healthy snacks!

I also grabbed some party bowls from Dollar Tree to make sure that they had something to pour their snacks in and two storage containers to keep the things that are not packaged stored securely.
Overall, I am pretty pleased with this healthy snack cart idea for the kids. My goal is to keep it fully stocked at all times for them to enjoy the things they love without going overboard or sacrificing healthy options for junk.
What do you think of this snack cart idea? Would this be something you would implement in your home? What would you add/take away? Let me know in the comments below.
