Fashion Tips - only for plus size :)

Haven't been updating for a while. I really look forward to update my blog seldom, but when I start to write, there goes my blank idea. Hampeh betul. When the time I'm not in front of my PC, the idea came in bertubi-tubi. But then it goes don't know where. Huhuhu.

Anyway, currently I'm reading an article on fashion for plus sizers. Found it interesting & I want to keep it here so I can find it much easier when I need to read it over again.

How to Dress As a Plus Sized Woman

Come on ladies, how many times have you asked the question "Do these jeans make my butt look big?" You know the answer. No, those jeans do not make your butt look big. The bag of Frito Lays, the pint if ice cream and the chocolate cake you devoured last night made your butt look big. So what, we are plus sized women. Now what? Are we doomed to live a life covered up in patterns designed to look like they go on my granny's couch and baby doll shirts that make us appear like we are expecting any day now? I say no! We are beautiful women and we deserve clothing that is stylish AND flatters the curves we have!

What should we non-skinny chicks look for? Well here are a few tips to think about.

     Don't wear low rise jeans if you have fat rolls that are literally rolling over the top of the waist line. Look for jeans that are wide leg, boot cut or straight leg but stay away from the skinny jean. Plus nothing looks cuter with a cute pair of boots or heals than wide leg jeans!

     Don't concentrate on size. If you normally wear a 16 but a particular outfit puts you in size 18, don't squeeze into a 16 just because you are convinced you should be in a 16. You'll just end up being uncomfortable and trust me ladies...the fat will be exploding out of those jeans making you look really ridiculous. If size really bothers you, cut the tag off when you get home!

     Stop trying to dress like a skinny chick. Halter tops that tie around the neck are for skinny girls. Don't show off your back fat or your bird winged arms; it's not attractive no matter what your "best friend" tells you. Winter is coming and long sleeves are your friend. Wear shirts that go down just past the waist. It will help cover up a lot of "bulges" and with the correct fit, it can actually shape your form a little and make it more curvy rather than bumpy. You might even try one of those body shapers to smooth things out a bit.

     Accessories can be the perfect addition to turn blah into cool! Chunky necklaces, fun colored purses or a gorgeous bracelet can jazz up an outfit that would normally appear dull.

     Wear dark wash jeans with a straight leg. Dark colors are always slimming and the straight leg creates a long lean line straight from the hip to the ankle. This will make the hips appear slimmer and legs look longer. Find jeans that fit comfortably and hug the body without being too tight. The waist of the jeans should hit just under your belly button.

     Choose flattering shirts and blouses with v-necks. V-necklines make the neck look longer and slimmer and also make you look taller. Again, choose shirts that hug the body but are not too tight. V-necks can be created with button-up blouses as well. Blouses that cinch at the waist are also flattering to a plus-size body, as they make the waist look thinner and create an hourglass shape.

     Wear A-line skirts. A-line skirts are flattering to almost every body shape but especially look good on curvy girls. They help create a beautiful hourglass shape. Choose skirts that hit over the knee.

     Find the perfect little black dress. Every woman needs a black dress in their wardrobe. Black dresses are slimming and can make anyone feel beautiful. Pair your dress with a pair of nude colored pumps to create the illusion of long, lean legs.

     Invest in a quality body slimmer. Body slimmers can be expensive but you should never skimp on one. This is the best accessory any plus-size woman can have, as it will smooth out the body and make clothes look even better.
