Vogue's Most Wanted Wardrobe: Plus Size Edition

So, as I'm sure most of you have already noticed, Vogue does not exactly offer plus-size friendly shopping tips. It's fun to peruse the pages and get an idea of what's in, but it's not very practical in the way of commercialism if you're over a size 8. That's why I decided to translate Vogue's "Most Wanted" into big girl language: I've pictured Vogue's Most Wanted items for summer partying and offered you an affordable plus size alternative for each. Hope this makes shopping (and styling) a little easier this summer!
