I don’t need to tell most of you this, but it’s HOT outside. When I stepped out to take a couple of photos this morning, it was like I had curled up in Satan’s sweaty armpit. He had pools of sweat under his eyes, sweat, and a silent prayer that I would remember to put on deodorant.
That’s why lately I’m opting for linen clothes. The amount of 100% polyester clothing I have in my closet is alarming, but also predictable, since plus-size clothing is often fast fashion and made from cheap materials. I love linen clothes. Bedding in Universal Standard because it has a touch of elasticity and does not wrinkle as much as 100% linen. It also comes in a size range that includes 00-40.

Long linen dress with Islet buttonssizes 00-40, 5 colors
Wearing 2XL. In my opinion, it is a little big.
I am in love with everything about this dress. Pretty (and functional) buttons, wide straps that match a regular bra, and a lightweight, body-skimming cut make it an essential. I’m considering ordering it in one of the other 5 colors because it’s so comfortable. If you want a little more shape, you can add a belt.

Wears size 2XL
Old Ava & Viv linen pants from Target. Similar.
I have several pairs of wide-leg linen pants in my closet and I love wearing them, but I always have a hard time knowing what blouse to pair them with. Matching sets are often paired with boxier, oversized tops, while I prefer something that gives a little more shape. T-shirts usually work, but they can also be casual. I was intrigued by this linen top, but I was worried it would be too short. It ended up being perfect given how high my pants are. I love the saturated color and it’s super comfortable while also giving some shape and interest.

Using the 2XL
I shared this caftan Last month, but I wanted to show it again because I use it a lot right now. It was the first thing I packed when we went to the Jersey Shore last week. It is washed every week and gets softer each time.
