How do we feel about this little news nugget? Apparently, singer Macy Gray is relaunching the plus-size line "Humps." We haven't seen any drawings or images yet but if the collection takes its cues from Gray's wardrobe, it will certainly be... interesting.
Gray first unveiled "Humps" back in 2008, but the line is reportedly set to re-launch next year.

Summer Leggings
This week one of my favorite bloggers said she was putting away all of her leggings until the Fall. Oh, I wanted to weep! (Yes, I'm wearing leggings today under a short denim skirt.) There's no reason to stop wearing leggings during warm weather. We just have to wear them in a different way. So maybe you won't necessarily layer them under heavy skirts and dresses. But they're still awesome under long tunics, babydoll tops and short frocks. The only rule? Just do not wear them as pants.

Ready to get Spring-y? Sure you are. Even if you aren't, everyone loves a flower bag. Here is one that is featured in the latest issue of Oprah magazine and comes in eight colors. (It's synthetic leather, but real cute.)

Not Enough Professional Plus Size Clothing?
It seems every day I read something that shows me that retailers are SLOWLY getting the point about everyday women and clothing. But last week, I came across an article on PublicRadio.org suggesting that with all of the strides made in plus-size clothing, there is still a lack of professional clothing for the curvy girl. It made me want to take a closer look at my own wardrobe and ask myself whether I own the kinds of fitted, well made pieces an upwardly-mobile person would wear to work. My conclusion is that I do have those things, but a)it has taken me years to collect them and a)I had to do a lot of searching for them when I bought them. I'd love to hear about your experience. Is it easier to find casual or going-out clothes than professional ones? Where do you find the clothes you wear to the office?
