Sartorial Saturday–The Top Five Fashions of 2025

Time for one more look back at 2025…this time, my five favorite outfits I put together throughout the year.

First up is a look from April featuring a coordinating Miss Candyfloss dress and blazer, plus some pink accessories including a smart boater hat:

Next is a playsuit and overskirt from Her Universe that I wore on my birthday:

Here’s a surprisingly casual look, featuring a top and skort from Popflex…I love this color palette!

This might be my favorite Rare Dirndl combination from the year…I paired a velvet apron with “Die Heimat” dirndl, which has a suede bodice. I love all the textures and rich colors in this look!

And finally, another pretty different look for me, featuring a sweater from Lane Bryant I’ve had for YEARS and a new denim tulip-hem maxi skirt from the same store. I also added an Erstwilder neck scarf (that matches my Spiffy the Sausage Dog brooch) as a belt:

I love that these five favorite looks quite unintentionally showcase the five basic styles in my wardrobe. The Miss Candyfloss outfit is obviously my favorite retro style, the Her Universe set covers my love of Disney Style (and also crosses over with the retro, which Disney styles almost always do for me), the Popflex look is my standard athleisure style for playing tennis and going for walks, the Rare Dirndl pairing shows my love of national dress, and the casual Lane Bryant look is a little modern and little 90s throwback.

Coming up with new ways to style my favorite pieces in my wardrobe continues to be one of my favorite hobbies, and I’m already working on some new ideas for the new year!

2025 in Outfits

Over 300 unique outfits later, 2025 is coming to a close!

I really enjoy this outfit of the day photography project, because it forces me to think through my outfit choices. I have so much fun styling my favorite pieces new ways (the most drastic restyling of the year came when I cut the bodice off of a dress to turn it into a skirt!), and adding some new pieces to my wardrobe along the way. And now I’m left to consider what my first outfit of 2026 will be, because I want to start the new year strong, sartorially speaking!

Sartorial Saturday–Pirouette

Today I’m taking a look at my second skort from Popflex!

I’ve loved the twirly, ballerina-esque Pirouette skort from Popflex since I first saw it, but I knew that the style was too short for me to be comfortable in. You can imagine how excited I was, then, when they announced that they were going to offer it in a new longer length!

Of course I added a few accessories to complete my look, including a RockLove Jewelry necklace and a stack of bracelets:

I paired it with a Not Your Typical Tank from Popflex, which is the best tank top ever!

I love that this look adds a bit of elegance even when I’m being active!

I’m looking forward to styling this skort for cooler days soon, too!

Sartorial Saturday–A Fashion Flex

Today I’m taking a look at something a little different…athletic wear by Popflex!

I’m a plus-size woman (obviously), but I still enjoy being active. One of our favorite ways to get some exercise in school is by playing tennis, and a Popflex Crisscross Hourglass Twirl Skort and Not Your Typical Tank with a built-in bra are the perfect pieces on the court!

I added a Popflex Bardot headband to keep my hair out of my eyes…it’s a great style that can be worn two ways, and has silicone grippers on the inside to help keep it in place:

I chose to go all-purple with this outfit, but in three different shades…I like the variation!

I love the keyhole back on the tank!

Playing tennis is even more fun in a cute outfit!

I feel completely comfortable in this outfit, and have full range of motion for moving around!

I already had a few other Popflex pieces in my wardrobe, so I already knew the quality and fit were great, but these are my first really colorful items, and I love how bright and cheerful they are for warmer days!
