I've been pretty busy over on Pinterest this week, pinning all sorts of fun things (namely, chicken recipes). I came across a outfit inspiration via Eloquii and just absolutely thought it was wonderful for summer.

Preppy plus size

The original photo is from Instagram user @grownandcurvywoman whom has a hell of a feed. While not everything is preppy it's got some great outfit ideas, especially if you're into color. The focal piece for the outfit of the hour is this great pique midi skirt with lots of volume. Like white jeans, there is just so much you can do with this voluminous skirt. The pique has some weight to it without being too heavy for summer wear and also leads to very flattering draping. My only slight word of caution is that you may need to have the skirt hemmed to get the most flattering look. Or if you're tall like me, this skirt will land at your knees. 

I kept the rest of the outfit pretty simple, with a straw bag with pom-poms, Jack Roger sandals (did you know they come in wide sizes?), a Kiel James Patrick bracelet, and colorful earrings. If you wanted to make this a more work appropriate outfit, add an oxford cotton button down, a wide belt, pumps, and accessories.
