I’m usually a harsh critic towards most of the plus-size fashion industry (and the fashion industry in general). But once in a while I come across something worthwhile and the industry gets it. In praise of the industry getting it right on certain occasions I introduce a new feature called This Works.

Let’s see what works with some of the items Macy’s has on sale online in their Junior Plus department.

ING Sequined Dolman Sleeved Plus Size Minidress $55.00
A fun little black party dress with your favorite and mine, sequins!

Necessary Objects Plus Size Buffalo plaid Skirt $48.00
I love skirts with tights. You can wear this with tights and a pair of boots and be cute and done.

Hydraulic Plus Size Ginger Skinny Jeans in black wash $58.00
These go perfectly tucked into boots.

Pink Rose Plus Size Short Sleeve Cardigan comes in black, pink and charcoal gray $54.00
The over-sized buttons are adorable on this cozy cardigan.

Bonus round! All of these items (except the party dress) are on sale right now for 25-50% off the price. Click on any of the images to shop now.
