So this past week I walked the Runway at the Fashion Forward Conference. If you read my post on Tues about Facing Fears, I was concerned about walking..I did not trip!! The conference is about fashion for women who are not 20 something that are mothers and bloggers. The brand that provided the clothes was Sonsi and the women who styled me was RedBooks Stylist.
I also had Caitlin Wooters – Makeup Artist work on my face, she was great and spent time get the right make up for my walk and still being appropriate for a women over 40. I also got my hair in a side pony by Robert Stewart Salon.
So I faced my fears and walked check out the Ivillage Video.
When Lands Ends contacted me to review there chinos I jumped at the chance. I wanted to have a pair of red pants. so What do I love about Lands End Chinos. I am a size 22 and 5’10″+ so length and fit are really important. So I order off of my measurement. The pants fit perfect the the other thing is I have a bit of a tummy so a little support is important to me. The Lands End chino I choose was Women’s Plus Size Exhale™ Tummy Control Stretch Chino Boot-cut Pant
As a big girl, I was always told don’t wear bights on the bottom, it will make you look bigger. These pants were designed with a bigger girl in mind, they look current fresh and flattering such a change from always wearing black. They fit great, they have a built in tummy (exhale) control panel, it is like shapeware in your pants. The Exhale tummy control, gives you a smoother shape, which makes you look thiner. Smoke and mirrors for you gut. The pants came up high enough to avoid the roll top (muffin top). The length was perfect. which is huge for me, Lands End hems the pants for you just provide your inseam. The Cost of the pants is $75, hemming is included. These pants are sure to be a staple for me this fall.
Here are 7 ways I show my personal style with the Lands Ends Chinos: Using some of the items in my own closet, and pairing them with the red chinos.
Flowered chiffon shirt, brown leather sandals, brown leather purse, gold and wood jewelry I cant wait to wear this outfit when I got out for lunch.
This is my wear around town, tan trench, red and off white striped knit top, gold jewelry, paired with a nude wedge.
This is a great outfit for going to event in the City.
This is my boyish look with a boyfriend shirt, plaid tie, yellow purse, and black sneakers.
This is my Fabulous 40 and sparkle- the older I get the more sparkle I want. I love the pop of color of the chinos. I am wearing a sparkle tank , Black sweater, black patent leather pumps, with sparkle on the base. The clutch matches the shoes. I choose silver jewelry. I can see me going out for cocktails in this outfit.
This is my labor day outfit, my American look. Navy and white tanks, gold circle, and my could not resist USA shoes waiting
for the perfect outfit.
The shoes finally found the right pants.
the red pants paired with a Grey Cami, a teal cardigan, gun metal necklace and earrings, and ultra suede shoes.
So this late fall when we head out for looking a leaves my red chinos paired with my oversize sweater will be a great for autumn rides through the country.
Here is my video review of the Lands End Chinos so you can see how they look.
I had a chance to preview some of Lands Ends new plus size collection at blogher and I am really excited about the new styles. They even have big girl boots with wider calf. My advice to you is start building your style with Lands End and buy a pair of Lands End Chinos, they will make you feel great and confidant because you are the girl in the red pants!

Lands’ End Plus Size collection is a great. I was asked to review a piece as part of Lands End Show Us Your Style. As a tall plus size women I often have a hard time finding clothes that fit me and look nice with out being a tent dress. My fit problem is that I have a small chest, larger hips, and I am tall. My style is wearing dresses, for the past few years I have been wearing them and they make me feel girly. I love this Lands End Plus Size shirt dress. It make me look fantastic, others thought so too. The shirtdress is so tailored wonderful, it flattered my body in all the right places. The chest was perfect enough room, and it did not pull in the front. The shirtdress is so well made with an attention to detail both inside and out, of course I always expect the best quality from Land End.
I love the medweight fabric it is eyelet cotton fabric. I took my measurements and bought true to them. This dress is a Size 22. I am 5’10” and the dress hit right to my knee so it was a great length.
The Women’s Plus Size Sleeveless Eyelet Shirtdress is full lined and is great 2 seasons dress wonderful for spring and summer. I wore this dress to a Moroccan restaurant this past weekend I wore it with a scarf around my shoulder, just in case it got chilly.
My jewelry: a gold ring necklace, simple gold hoop earrings, and 2 gold bracelets.
My Shoes: a nude wedge or great sandals would look fabulous.
My nails were a great bright coral color. I love a bright color on your toes when you wear peep toe shoes
My Options for the future is to also get a great belt, and wear with my large sun hat.
This Lands End shirt dress is so great for travel and is a classic look that I am looking forward to wearing for seasons to come. This dress retails for $135, so an investment staple and quality for your wardrobe. It is offered in 2 colors washed red and navy. I can wait to try more plus dresses from the collection. Lands End makes plus girls look great!
My pictures were taken by my 11 year old son I want to thank him for putting up with his mom
Disclosure: I did receive this dress from Lands End as part of this promotion. The opinions in this post of are mine and my honest opinion of the product.
