Each year on my birthday I get a new outfit, a tradition I have had since I was little (my mum has always done this too). This year I opted for this City Chic maxi dress. I am having a real moment for maxi dresses and skirts at the moment. Getting back to my boho roots! I am a big fan of City Chic clothing, an American brand that Evans has recently added to their online stable of plus size brands. I got a really great maxi dress from them last year, which I wore in the Caribbean, and so I have been keeping my eyes peeled for more from them since then. In summer they look super elegant, while being cool and comfortable. I tend to wear shape wear with my more fitted dresses, but this style requires no structural undergarments (other than a bra in my case lol), just some chub rub shorts and I'm good to go.
