Alight Clothing Review & Giveaway

For years, plus sized women have struggled to find fashionable clothing that fits. No matter where we shop, the cute and stylish clothes seem to stop at a size 12. The average American woman is a size 14, so I've never understood why we don't have the same clothing options as the smaller-sized women.

Alight.com has made it their mission to provide the same trendy clothing options for women sizes 14w to 30w. For more than 10 years, they have been offering plus sized women a infinite selection of stylish, sexy and appealing fashions. With over 900 styles and nearly 100 brands, Alight.com has something for everyone. Whether you are looking for jeans, dresses, shirts, jackets, coats, skirts or pants, you can shop in confidence knowing Alight.com offers the latest trends. The possibilities are endless at Alight.com.

My Review

I was recently given the opportunity to review the One Step Up Plus Day Glow Top in Yellow. After removing my shirt from the package, I was in-love with the color. Most of my wardrobe consists of more neutral -earthy tones so I was excited to try this bright yellow top. The Day Glow top is made with a slight v-neck with 5 buttons along left v-neck. This top also features white contrast (faux undershirt) at the neck, arms and bottom hem.

This shirt is made of 100% cotton which would be ideal for many women. However, I am constantly sitting and standing and running around all over the place. Because of this, I notice clothing made from 100% cotton tends to stretch out, which drives me nuts since I prefer much more form fitting clothing. For the purpose of this review, I did put this shirt on in the morning with the intention of wearing it the entire day. This shirt is very soft and comfy. But by mid afternoon, it had become rather loose and I felt the need to change. Although I personally don't like long sleeves or 100% cotton clothing, this shirt would be ideal for those who love comfortable and modest clothing. With the weather in Texas already reaching the 70's, I'm afraid I don't have much use for this particular top. Alight.com does have an endless selection of short sleeved tops and maxi-dresses I can't wait to try!
