The Turkey has been eaten and hopefully a good chunk of your holiday shopping was taken care of on Black Friday and Cyber Monday so now let us turn to some plus size picks for you to wear this holiday season:
Quality Plus Size Evening Skirt Suits can be the most difficult to find and this season is no different but I really took a liking to this set from Alex Marie at Dillard’s – done in a purple and black jacquard this skirt set is a very reasonable $258:
If you’re looking for a more traditional holiday color Macy has a Jones New York Plus Size Skirt Suit in a deep red and Neiman Marcus has a Tahari Plus Size Skirt Suit that is available for $528 (Click Either Image To View Or Buy):

Obviously, the easiest shortcut to holiday plus size dressing is simply to look at some separates and pair with a favorite pair of slacks or skirts you already have . . . unfortunately, truly high end plus size evening wear separates are quite lacking online. I am in love with the Carmen Marc Valvo long crochet cardigan that can easily be thrown over a black tank dress or black shell and pant for an instantly chic and dramatic look but it is $795:
There is a sexy black lace Tadashi blouse at Saks for $375 and a festive red silk charmeuse blouse from Lafayette 148 at Neimans for $238 or if you’re in need of something a little less dressy a wonderful cashmere ruffle cardigan that has been marked down to $397.60:
