You all know I am a fan of Gwynnie Bee. I have been a member of this plus size clothing rental service for over five years and find the quality, selection, and brands keeps getting better and better. I know many of you also use Gwynnie Bee and appreciate it for different reasons. Some love Gwynnie Bee because it adds variety to a basic wardrobe. Some love how Gwynnie Bee lets you borrow and then buy, adding to your closet new brands and silhouettes you may not be able to find at stores nearby. I love how I can rent trendy looks to add fun touches to my looks, but be able to return them without buyer's remorse at the end of the season.
Dress: Sienna Wrap Maxi In Romantic Floral by Hutch via Gwynnie Bee (XL) | Earrings: Holly Yashi (gift from reader C) | Boots: Ros Hommerson (old; similar) | Sunglasses: Ray-Ban This dress came in a recent Gwynnie Bee box and I was surprised by how much I really liked it on. If you follow me on InstaStories, you know I wore this dress on Thanksgiving and it was perfect. In these photos and on Thanksgiving, I wore the dress with knee-high boots though it would also work with ankle booties. On Thanksgiving I styled it with an old black velvet choker; here I styled it with a pair of gold dangle earrings. With a print like this, you don't need a lot of accessories. While the sleeves are full, they're breezy and easily slip into the sleeves of a denim jacket or leather Moto jacket which would winterize this look. I felt this dress was a modern-day prairie dress, so we decided to take photos of it at the nearby Beltsville Agricultural Research Center. We are so lucky to have such gorgeous farmland literally in our town's backyard. During weekdays they open up a gate and we can drive right from our town through the farm roads to reach neighboring Beltsville, the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, or the Goddard Space Flight Center.
Gwynnie Bee has expanded their offerings, now having a shop where you can purchase jewelry, lingerie, belts, sunglasses, activewear, and a variety of new clothing. All pieces are designed to flatter a plus size figure. Recently I tried the GB Marketplace and got the GB Exclusive Ring Stack. I wear a size 10 ring which is near impossible to find at most retailers, especially out of quality materials. The Ring Stack is three separate rings you can wear together on one finger, choose an individual ring for a delicate look, or spread them across several fingers. They come in 14K gold fill or sterling silver in sizes 5-12. This would be an awesome gift to give (or gift to yourself!). If you know me in person, I've been wearing these rings pretty constantly. A Gwynnie Bee gift card would also be a pretty cool gift for the fashionista in your life, a loved one who got a new job and suddenly needs a new wardrobe, a friend who is looking to update her look, or most anyone who would appreciate a closet update. It's also a way to get exclusive access to the GB Marketplace!
