Silver Shimmer

I was struck by how stunning plus-sized actress Amber Riley from Glee looked in her silver sequined dress by Oliver Tolentino at the Golden Globes Sunday night. She proves that you do not have to be a size 2 to look put together and feminine. I've taken her look here at the Globes and have put together some affordable, accessible options using silver sequins for less than $40.

Accentuate the Positive: Stripes

Do you have beautiful curves? If you've got them, flaunt them. Embrace those curves with stripes. I wear horizontal stripes often. Unless you're wearing them in a wide-striped, ill-fitting dress, stripes are a definite DO in most cases.

Our Favorites:

Horizontal stripes and punchy colors look great with jeans. From Faith 21.

$8.80

The striped cardigan is very chic, too!

From Torrid, $21.97

With heels and a fitted black cardigan, this tulle skirt from eShakti would look great on you!

$44.95

I tried this rayon poncho on at Chico's and with black leggings and boots, it looks stunning.

$39.99

I would absolutely wear this one with jeans.

From Lane Bryant

$34.50

I have this one from Lands' End. A head's up--I find that a large is a very good fit for me in their tops, as they run quite a bit bigger than other places. It's cute with jeans and a tank.

$14.99-19.99

I recently tried on this tunic by Style & Co. at Macy's. It doesn't cling and is really figure flattering.

$39.99
