I am so glad I found your channel. You really do such an amazing job finding those great pieces and showing how to incorporate them into your current wardrobe. Or curating a new wardrobe altogether! I always love the statement belt you wear and it’s challenging me to rethink wearing a belt myself. For so many years I have always covered up that part of my body. So hopefully I can find an outfit I feel confident in to wear one! Enjoy your content so much! Thank you.
Love watching your videos. Frankly, I think this fairisle sweater/black top/white pants combo is fantastic on you. One of the best overall I’ve seen you wear! Lookin’ great in it! Thank you for just forging ahead and talking about clothes in a normalizing way. We plus size gals need a positive influence like you! Thank you!
Love the blazers, both are very flattering. The tencel joggers look super comfy, I love tencel it's very cool and breathable. Here in Cali, I'd pair the pants with a pretty carmel colored strappy sandal. I will say I'm not a fan of turtle necks on myself, and really wish these companies realized, some of us plus size ladies are not just wider but have longer torsos as well, so give us a little more length on the shirts.
Great haul! I love Banana Republic, regular and factory. I always manage to find nicely elegant pieces there. And yeah, I've got several pieces of their jewelry that I've had for years now and they're still looking good and get worn quite a bit.
I've been watching u for a while, not often do I comment, but OMG you look stunning in this video ❤. Not sure if it's the hair style or silver jewelry AMAZING ❗
Beautiful 🥰 I L💙VE gray and any shade of blue too. Unfortunately they were sold out of my size (XXL) in that gorgeous Fair Isle cardi and the dress too🤷Thanks anyway😊
What do you think about shopping at thirft stotes and what about hair and styles long short or medium length and is there a certain way you should wear ur hair at work
BRF is my jam. I got a couple sweaters and a dark grey jacket this season and I love them. I wash/dry the sweaters in gentle. I will be wearing my jacket today since it’s cloudy in our California desert and I need to make a quick Target run. I am a total jacket girl so this store is perfect for me. Once we get closer to the end of winter I will see if anything I have my eye on goes on a better sale. I don’t really neeeeeedddd…lol anything. I also got a great light weight sweater from Chico’s this year (size 3=size 14) and I love it. It’s lightweight and has small flat silver buttons going up the neck, and the neck is not a chokehold 🤪 kind of neck. I have a short neck so I’m conscious of necks on sweaters. Oralia, you know what I miss that I have not been seeing. It’s beautiful printed blouses. Small prints that don’t have flowers. Blouses you can wear to the office or with jeans. I used to have so many and designers are just not making them. There was one on the BRF site and it flew off the site, it was in a black/tan modern print with long sleeves and an open neckline. These are the kind of blouses I love to elevate my casual wardrobe. I’ve had to opt for more shirts and sweaters. 😊
Maybe I am getting the wrong size turtleneck but why do all my turtlenecks make me look like I have a triple chin. Is there a way to find the proper fitting/ sizing that is flattering or just avoid it altogether?
You should look for turtlenecks like the first sweater I showed, that is a bit relaxed, not snug on the neck. Sometimes I do the unthinkable and put my turtleneck on a hanger and stretch the neck out over the shoulders of the hanger. That helps to loosen it up a bit, but I don't recommend doing it every time. That should help. 😉
I feel you! I already have a double chin and a turtle neck makes me look like a turtle and it bothers me--makes me feel too restricted around the throat.
@@dianethompson6804 Yes yes yes, I agree. I am torn because I want a turtleneck because of the freezing weather, but I want it to be flattering as well.
Hi Oralia, I just thought I wish u a Happy New Year 🎉 I want u to know that I am enjoying watching u on UA-cam. I got a question for u do u own denim leggings? Anyway u be safe. 💋
I bought the satin tie-front midi shirt dress in a lighter color and the collar seems to have some sort of imperfection as it doesn’t lay properly. Nonetheless, I love the dress and will not be returning it. I even purchased a steamer so I can get the wrinkles out! Oralia, have you kept items despite having some irregularities?
The green joggers with the thick sweater, no! Big baggie pants would look better with a more fitted top, those pants definitely added bulk to your look and to you
It looks like Banana republic needs improvement. Not many flattering pieces in this haul. The best thing about their clothes is the quality but aesthetically, they’ve missed the mark with extended sizes.
I think you should be more objective about your own choices. Neither the black turtle neck nor green pants were flattering. With all the choices there are for you please choose things that fit you better. The white pants and black v neck looked so much better

Nice pieces. I wasn't even aware that Banana Republic had plus sized until I started watching your channel
I believe they go up to 18 only

❤I work at an Outlet Mall in NY…. I keep running over to BR looking for your recommendations. Thanks so much

Would love to see a haul from Macy's?

You look good in light blue.
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing these beautiful pieces! 😊
Just received cargo joggers and I love them. ❤
I especially like the black blouse with pleats in the back, and the dress.
Best piece for me is the baby blue sweater. This colour suits you perfectly! Bisous de Bruxelles 💋
The rayon makes it soft and silky.❤❤❤
The military blazer piece was so special! Love
Yeah, it's really nice!
I've been watching u for a while, not often do I comment, but OMG you look stunning in this video ❤. Not sure if it's the hair style or silver jewelry AMAZING ❗
Oh thank you!
Love this sweater, I have one like it in gray and black. It has some pearl buttons on the sleeves though. Got it from Walmart.
I love your black sweater your wearing.❤❤❤❤
Beautiful 🥰 I L💙VE gray and any shade of blue too. Unfortunately they were sold out of my size (XXL) in that gorgeous Fair Isle cardi and the dress too🤷Thanks anyway😊
LOVE the ponte blazer!!
It's really nice!
I love this video Oralia/this is my favorite time of the year/I love all of the silk Headscarves XXX
Really love the gray skirt on you!

Spring is coming, you'll likely see florals popping up here and there. 😉

@@Oralia_Martinez Thank you Oralia. Great idea to stretch the neck a bit, I will do that.

It depends. If I can fix it somehow, or if it's not that noticeable, I hang on to it.
The green joggers with the thick sweater, no! Big baggie pants would look better with a more fitted top, those pants definitely added bulk to your look and to you
Will you please do a piece on coats…..I spend most of my life in pants and live in a very cold area of Canada, so I need warn but want elegant. Help!
