FASHION HAS A PECULIAR way of inventing new seasons. Case in point: resort, which was originally intended for ladies of leisure who wintered on cruises and tropical islands. These days, it's a spring-y collection right before winter settles in. Lately, I've noticed that some of resort's boldest trends (playful rompers, nautical stripes) are finding their way into plus-size fashion, like Tadashi Shoji's bright, lacy, pleated dress and the kicky striped skirt from Mango's new plus-size line, Violeta. Best of all, you can rock these pieces long after winter, too! For more plus-size style finds, follow me on Twitter at @nicolettemason.
