Plus Size Summer 2007 Steals

As stores prepare for the new fall inventory, plus size steals abound. Here's a list of some of the best deals you can find this summer, before the leaves start turning:

Basic Tees.
Let's face it, you'll be wearing plus size tees all year long, so there's no time like the present to start stocking up. Avenue's Keyhole Tee for $9.99 is a plus size steal, because the extra detailing adds just a bit of style, and it comes in a wide range of flattering colors. If you're looking for country-club casual, Avenue's Classic Polo for $9.99 is smartly tailored and selling fast.

Tops and Blouses.
This summer's plus size fashion has been all about bold patterns, primary colors, and dressier tops over casual bottoms. Fashion Bug's printed dots top is on sale for only $13.58 and is just the thing to dress up a pair of jeans. For a sportier plus size steal, check out Catherine's Short-sleeved striped two-fer sweater for $21.99 in bright colors.

Shorts.
This year, plus size women are in luck. Longer, flattering, Bermuda shorts are all the rage. They might not be as easily obtained next year, so get them while they're still plus size steals. Catherines has a flat-front Bermuda short for $20 in a linen-rayon blend. Meanwhile, Avenue's Chino Bermuda Short is selling for only $16.99 and comes in basic colors as well as fashionable "Aloe" and "Golden Haze." That might just make them the plus size steal of the season.

Capri Pants.
As far as plus size denim goes, nobody can beat Avenue's "denim lite" fabric for comfort and fit. So when you see a pair of denim lite Capri pants for only $16.99, snap them up.

Swimwear.
Hands down, Fashion Bug has the best plus size steals when it comes to swimwear this season. From adorable skirtinis, to polka-dotted swim dresses and the classic swim skirt for $19.99, you're bound to find a good bargain before it gets too cold to hit the beach.

Camis and Tank Tops.
Plus size women should feel confident enough to bare arms, as a well-fitted cami or tank top can be flattering and cut down on bulk under a jacket or suit. Fashion Bug's Lace-trimmed cinched-center tank with a sequined trimmed neckline is a plus size steal at only $8.78. For a more upscale basic, try Lane Bryant's Crochet-lace surplice cami for $24.99. With its scalloped surplice neckline and flattering length, it earns its price tag.

Trousers.
Lane Bryant has led the way with fitted plus size slacks for the work week, and their Houston cut pants are now on sale for as little as $14.99. If you can find a pair in your size, you'll have found yourself an excellent plus size steal.

Jackets.
A plus size steal you can't afford to miss out on is the Mwah short-sleeved denim jacket from Fashion Bug, selling for $15.98. Fitted and tailored, it's easily worth three times that much.

This season, there are plus size steals around every corner, so get on those shopping shoes, or fire up your keyboard. You're on your way to a more fashionable you!
