B & Lu


We've been following B&Lu forever (back when they had a more diy website!), and we just love the look of their clothes. They have attractive patterns that aren't too loud and figure-flattering cuts. The prices seem right on for the products. The following are our favorite pieces.



$29
An update on the classic cardigan! Gathers along bust line. Hangs open for an easy fit. Back seam has matching crochet lace detail. 3/4 sleeves. 85% acrylic. 15% wool.


Super cute sweater is great layering piece. Button detail is just for looks. Slips on over your head. Slit in front opens up to the bottom button. Cute baby doll empire seam.


Vibrant yellow top has eyelet arms & bottom trim. Flowy fit. Lightweight 100% cotton.


Lovely slighty sheer crepe blouse has wrap styling. Ruffle neckline & short flutter sleeve. Made for something to be worn underneath. Ties are long enough to be tied in front or back.

$24

$15
Easy fit pull on skirt has lovely rose print. Fully lined with a brown liner. A line shape. 96% poly. 4% spandex.

MiSSPhit

We’d never heard of MiSSphit, but after perusing their site, we’re believers. Their clothes are cute and funky: we like the clean lines and cheerful colors. Also, the clothes are affordable (gasp!). We hope they only continue to expand their line: we’re ready to join the fan club.



$56
"Soft sweater-like jacket styled into a super chic design with front pockets and hip large buttons. The inner half of the fabric has a fleece texture to keep you warm and the tiny metallic eyelets strategically placed under the arms and lower back definitely make you cool. There are two snap buttons at the bottom only and then the trendy large buttons button-up to the neck."




$36
"Super sweet cotton pull-over button-up blouse with extra cute buttons on the sleeves and empire. Soft lightweight cotton keeps you cool during the hot weather outings and the sophisticated design allows you to wear it to that client lunch too. Straps and shirring details give it a trendy yet professional look. Dress to impress."


$42
"Trendy and chic, this European inspired collared blouse is far from being "buttoned down". Elastic bands criss-cross the front and back lower halves giving shape and style to the blouse. A soft cotton fabric provides the perfect canvas for the front's intricate embroidered artwork. A missphit design team favorite that will be one of your favorites too."


$33
"Stylish floral and dot border print tunic. Soft jersey material is comfy to the touch while the empire elastic smocking and shoulder shirring detail keeps you chic. Perfect for that weekend shopping excursion."

Kiyonna

Kiyonna has some stunning clothes. We particularly salivate over their dresses. Make sure to choose your products wisely: the clothes are a great investment, but they are pricy. If you’re going to buy from this great company, go big. Pun unintended (sort of).

Threadless

We really enjoy Threadless's shirts and hoodies. Why? Well, we dig the democratization of design (i.e. anyone can submit a design) and the truly creative, innovative, and laugh-out-loud humor of the pieces. Many of the designs come in plus sizes (up to a roomy 3X in both girls and guys style tees!). Oh yeah: our friend and sometimes contributor, LB, has a Street Team link (she gets hooked up if you use her link to shop at the site). Since she's the one who ranted to us about the products, you should visit Threadless via this link.

Here are some of our favorite pieces.






There are so many more! Go! Now!

Old Navy

Old Navy's clothes are cute, affordable, and come in a wide range of sizes (i.e. they don't think sizes 10-14 are plus size). If you're into nice cuts, bright colors, and flattering patterns (i.e. you aren't into visual throw-up), then you should check out their online store: it's quality.

Here are some highlights from their current line:
