I love your classic style. It's hard to find plus size stylists who match my personal style. I do like a funky piece here and there, but mostly I love timeless classics. It can be hard to find things that FIT correctly, which is so important. Thanks for what you do!

Thank you so much for all the styling tips and wonderful holiday outfit ideas. Your channel is exactly what I needed as I too am a petite plus woman in my late 40s. I bought so many clothing items and accessories through your video links and I LOVED everything I got. Your holiday outfit video helped me style my holiday party outfit. I have never felt so elegant and put together. Thank you so much once again. 🙏🏼💛😁

I can tell you Karen Millen sizing is amazing. It is truly plus size and I’ve bought some awesome pieces. Please post soon, you won’t be disappointed.

I have been binge-watching your videos. I love the way you speak about clothing and am interested in the tips and advice that you give.

FANTASTIC and valuable video!! I love that you're focusing on quality/natural fibers!!!

I tried Quince due to you featuring them in a video. I tried their $50.00 cashmere (not in plus size; not sure if the price point is different in plus sizes...) I was impressed with the thickness and softness of the cashmere. I will be shopping them again.

I didn’t know Aritzia went up to XXL! Definitely would love to see a haul from them sometime this year.

This video was so useful! I checked out all these companies and found some wonderful end of the year sales. The pants I bought at Talbots are gorgeous and fit perfectly. I had forgotten about the company completely. Their plus sized, petite cut pants are perfect for my 5'2" height. I also found some amazing deals at Ralph Lauren, Banana Republic, Talbots, J. Crew, Quince, Honeylove, and Abercrombie & Fitch. I was looking for classic pieces that won't go out of style and I found them. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for making this content! I have struggled my entire life to find clothes in my size that look nice and will actually last. ❤

I bought the open front sweater/jacket with the lapels from Quince and it is wonderful, . Loved the way it draped and closed naturally in the front. The length was great also. I am 5'5" and it hit me mid thigh. It is comfortable and looks classic at the same time. I loved it with jeans and a turtle neck. I bought it in gray and loved it so much that I bought another one in black. Thank you for introducing me to Quince. Great quality piece.

Just found Quince a month ago and has become an instant favorite for cashmere. Love your channel and style. Thank you

[sylviarodriguez]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge & expertise with us. It is hard to find clothes for the petite plus size woman. I definitely will be checking out what you presented. Have a great New Year!

Very informative, thank you so much for your content and authentic ❤delivery.

Great start to your Glow Up series!!! Thank you so much for this review. I learned a lot about certain retailers‼️ Ralph Lauren is my all time fave and the start of my love affair with fashion 🥰

[wendykornfein]

Many years ago, I purchased a black short length wool or wool blend peacoat with large lapels at Sears. It kept me so nice and warm. I should have bought two! For a couple of years now, I haven't been able to find just the right one at a reasonable price.

Great tips, I totally agree with you o H & M. I’ve always just used them for my cotton shirts…well no more. I noticed this years were not the same beautiful thick cotton. Glad I only purchased 2 even if they are very affordable. My go-to stores are Chico’s (basics/including jeans), Banana Republic Outlet (I just got an order from them today-2-sweaters, 1-medium weight jacket) I’m a size 14 (busty) and the XL in jackets and sweaters works. I have purchased 1- dress, 2-jackets & 4 sweaters only one sweater (last year’s purchase) didn’t make it to this year and I pay closer attention to the details in fabric and close up on those photos. My purchase was $89 for $275 worth of clothing. I love the quality. I will switch over to buying my cotton shirts from Madewell & Chico’s from here on out. I dress in solids and I don’t do strange prints. I can’t wait to see that last brand you talked about since I LOVE dresses but have a very hard time finding pretty & quality. With the Chico’s brand I just make sure I find the modern looking version of clothing so nothing looks frumpy or dated. I also like the online store Universal Standard. I have purchased T-shirts, denim dress & a beautiful trench coat from that line all of which I loved. Shopping is so much fun thank you Oralia, I hope you are enjoying your time off ❤

You told no lies. This is such an excellent guide.

I loved this! Thank you for naming some stores. We do have a lot of American stores here. ( I'm from Canada), on a budget! But, I like the idea to "shop around" for "price point" pieces. Ralph Lauren! lol, very expensive here. Canada's prices are a little bit more expensive than America. I like that you looked into the U.K., and yes, we do need more inclusivity with plus sizes for women.
