Let’s be real though - I haven’t been to Target in such a long time to look at clothes. Always left feeling let down with the lack of plus size options. They have good basic corporate black pants etc but nothing fun like there is in the main stream section...and I know so many of you curve babes can relate. It can leave you feeling a bit down. It’s can be tough shopping in Aus being over a size 18. Was pleasantly surprised to put together a whole outfit for $127. The skirt is fab! I’m wearing the size 18 and I sized down because the waist is elastic. If you are a size 24-26 I reckon this would fit you. The top is a 20 and slightly tight across my bust. I would have loved to paired it with a white jumper but couldn’t find one in the store in plus sizes. . . Totally influenced after seeing it on @iheartbargains so knew I had to go find myself this swishy skirt 😍 . . If you buy this skirt tag me in your pics so I can check you out.

The ultimate guide to buying a summer skirt to flatter your shape

<p>Summer is most certainly on the way! With the warmer weather comes a chance to update your wardrobe. Instead of going on a shopping spree and breaking the bank, instead we suggest investing in a few key pieces that are good quality, fit well and are easily mixed and matched. Step in the trusty old skirt. An easy-breezy – not to mention comfortable – summer staple, a skirt that fits you properly has the power to make you feel confident and look gorgeous whatever your shape. But stuck on what best suits your body type? Here is our buying guide to ensure you pick a figure-flattering skirt.</p><p><strong>For hourglass shaped ladies</strong></p><p>Show off your small waist with gorgeous 50s style shapes, in full, flared and pleated styles.</p><p><strong>For big busted ladies</strong></p><p>A-line or slightly flippy styles will add balance and volume to your bottom half. Avoid high waisted, very wide or pleated styles and instead go for straighter shapes.</p><p><strong>For pear shaped ladies</strong></p><p>If you’re bottom heavy try an A-line skirt or something that adds a bit of volume, which will flatter your hips and thighs. Avoid fussy pleats from the waist as they’ll add volume to your tummy and hips.</p><p><strong>For straight up and down ladies</strong></p><p>A-line and flared styles will help create shape and a waist, while patterns and embellishment will add the illusion of shape to your figure.</p><p><strong>For petite ladies</strong></p><p>Pencil skirts are really flattering because they look elegant rather than girly. Steer clear of ruffles, which will shorten the look of your legs and be careful with A-line shapes, which can look a bit young.</p><p><strong>For ladies with a full bottom</strong></p><p>Avoid A-line skirts that will just stick out over a rounder bottom and instead choose more fitted styles. Those that are fitted over your bum and legs but kick out at the knees are perfect.</p>
