ShoeDazzle Plus: Bold Colors, Cooler Temps 2022 Review
Plus Size Ribbed Polo Dress in Orange — Retail Value $64.95
1 of 7
If you can't already tell, I am a huge fan of the color orange. Literally from my head to my toes, I love orange everything! I was so excited to see that this orange ribbed polo dress was available in plus sizes-- a rarity to actually find something my size on the ShoeDazzle site! This is cause for a celebration of sorts! Not only do I love the color of this piece, but the fit is great! Since the material is ribbed, it offers ample stretch and is incredibly soft to the touch. The weather was still nice and warm when these pics were taken, so I styled it for late summer with the sneakers I also purchased this month as well as the rhinestone crossbody bag from my last ShoeDazzle review.
I completed this very bright and PROUD ensemble with glasses from Wherelight a legendary LGBTQIA drag icon, Divine, in the form of earrings from RebsRainbowHaus! This dress will look great also for Spooky Season/fall! Imagine styling this with black opaque tights and ankle booties, a faux leather black biker jacket, and Halloween themed statement earrings for a fun look. Then transition out of a jack o'lantern inspired look for something more fall oriented by pairing this dress with mustard tights, tan ankle booties, and a flannel plaid oversized button down as well as a beanie for extra warmth and comfort.
Kieya Chunky Sneakers, size 9.5 — Retail Value $52.95
1 of 3
I was at Buffalo Exchange a few months ago with my boyfriend and an employee at the store was talking about how chunky sneakers, Crocs, and Converse Chuck Taylors were the most popular footwear styles that they sell. I can see that too looking at fashion blogs and on the street-- chunky sneakers are all the rage! I was attracted to these because I also reviewed them in the all-pink version a few months back too. I had my eyes on the rainbow style as well because I figure these could serve me well for PRIDE next year. Oddly, though I got the same 9.5 size as the last pair, these fit differently. They weren't nearly as easy to get on or comfortable to wear. It is rather inexplicable to me, considering they are the exact same style! Such a bummer, but if I did opt to buy the size up in a 10, they are still available on the ShoeDazzle site. These shoes add the greatest pop of color that are appreciated all year, not just in June!
Verdict
This month's finds from ShoeDazzle were so colorful and fun! I am so excited to be able to review a plus size clothing piece again for yinz! If you are a regular reader of my reviews, you know my ongoing frustrations with ShoeDazzle and their lack of plus size options. I feel like I am screaming into the void with them, but I am glad to have this bread crumb they tossed us in the form of this precious dress. Even though I had fit issues with the sneakers, I love the style and pop of color on the soles. The one consistent thing that has me returning to them is their awesome and frequent sales. This review being example-- every single piece I received was fifty percent off!
The sales and the point accrual system keeps me checking each month with my fingers crossed in hopes of a miraculously larger selection for their plus size subscribers. It is very disappointing, but I continue to keep my fingers crossed that they opt to someday cater to us bodacious babes. Or to at least offer more than a dozen items for us, is that too much to ask? I know it is probably a pipe dream, but if they do I hope they offer pieces in 4x-6x as well. I strongly believe all bodies are good bodies and babes of all sizes deserve clothing options that fit them and make them feel beautiful. I loved my dress and shoes this month, but here's to hoping next month is even more successful!

Value Breakdown: The two items that I selected this month have a combined retail value of $117.90, but ShoeDazzle had a 50% off sale when I bought them. As a VIP member I scored these cuties at the nice price of $40.72 before shipping and handling! A truly dazzling deal if you ask me!
