Best Looks For Plus Size Women

There is never any reason to become a wall-flower simply because you are a gorgeous woman of ample size. What you need to remember is that if you feel beautiful, then you are going to turn heads no matter what size you may be. Plus size women everywhere can look and feel sexy and confident simply by making the right sizes in clothing and accessories. The best looks for plus size women are out there, you just have to know where to find them and how and then to wear them.

Of course you want to remain comfortable, however slumming around in baggy t-shirts and sweatpants will never get you to the look that you desire. In order to really set off your confidence and sex appeal, you should look for plus size designs that help you to accentuate your incredible curves. Look for tops or dresses that have ruching or gathering, along the sides. This simple design feature can help to not only slim down your look but also take each and every one of your curves and make them simply eye-popping.

If you are a plus size gal, then the chances are that you are very blessed in the breast area. Instead of hiding your breast line, you should be doing everything that you can to accentuate in a classy and sexy way. Dabbling in different necklines will give you a good understanding of just what look may work best for your body type. While scooped or plunging necklines can make you look slimmer, a squared or boat neckline can help to thin out your face and really bring out your cleavage.

When it comes to those pieces behind the scenes, make sure that you have the proper undergarments for whatever plus size outfit you will be wearing. There are a number of incredible pieces that you can get in order to slim down your silhouette that will also keep you comfortable all day long. The right bra can make a world of difference as well! You never want to have a bra that is too tight in the cup area because it can make for unsightly bulges at the top.

Finally, never be afraid to accessories. If you have an outfit that doesn’t necessarily help to elongate your plus size torso, think about adding a jacket or even a large bag to the ensemble. Accessories are always a girls best friend, especially when you are on the hunt for the best looks for plus size women.

Tips For The Plus Size Bride

You have already put a whole lot of time and effort into the planning of your wedding and now it is time for you to find the wedding dress of your dreams. When you are a bride-to-be that has a curvy figure, then it is best to find a terrific plus size bridal gown that flatters your body and gives you an incredible look. Today more than ever there are plenty of amazing wedding dresses available for the plus size bride, you simply have to know where to look and the best style to fit your particular body type.

If you think about it, any wedding dress no matter what size you are should be just right in every aspect. The perfect dress will help to bring out your very best features while helping you to disguise some of those that you would not rather have noticed. Never be afraid to try on any number of dresses until you find just the right one. After all, this is your special day so it is imperative that you are extremely pleased with how your wedding dress makes you look and feel.

When you are a bride that is bigger in the bust area, then you may want to look for a gorgeous gown that has a larger skirt, such as the ballerina style. The flare at the bottom will help to even out your large bust and completely round out the look. Additionally, if you have a larger bust line than your waist, you are considered to have what is called an apple shaped figure. This can be addressed with a neckline that is in the shape of a v. The plunge here will give you just enough of a distraction!

After you choose your dress, make sure that you have everything else that is needed for your big day. Many plus size brides will have an issue with their shoes being too tight. If you cannot find a wide size to fit your feet comfortably, then think about having the shoes stretch by a local shoe store or even your bridal shop where you purchased your wedding dress. This extra comfort will go a long way during your big day. Do not forget an extra pair of white flip flops or satin slippers that match your gown just in case your shoes do give you a hard time!

How to Build a Work Wardrobe for Women

Guest post by: Elizabeth Ann West

Black Cross-Dye Elbow-Sleeve JacketWe all have stages in our lives where our clothes just do not match our new pursuits. The most common crisis for a woman’s wardrobe is starting a new job. One huge transition is from the free T-shirt craze in college to looking professional on the job. Moving from stay-at-home-Mom or college crammer to super career woman, one truth is universally present: the funds are limited for buying work clothes. Learn the basics of building a wardrobe for work so you do not waste any part of your budget on unnecessary items.

The first step is to look at your current wardrobe and set aside any pieces that are appropriate for work. Remember to take into consideration fit when determining appropriateness. Take digital pictures with your cell phone if you need to so you can find selections in stores that pair well. This is going to be your base, and it can be as large as a few button down shirts to as tiny as one pair of black pants.

Next, figure out what you need to get through one full week of work. The best wardrobes are made of pieces that are interchangeable. Even if you are someone who generally enjoys wearing flashy prints and patterns, to build a work wardrobe it is best to pick two to three key colors that go well together. The most common color families are the cools–blues, purples, grays, and blacks–or the warms– earthy browns, tans, creams, and greens. Just beginning, pick one of the two major color families to work within so you can mix and match without revealing how limited your clothing choices really are.

When selecting pieces for the work wardrobe before a paycheck, resist the urge to get anything with loud prints or highly stylized in fashion, cut, or trim. Save the flashiness for accessories; they are a much lower cost investment in case fashion changes. Simple, flattering cuts of basic colors will pair well with accessories of all types. A baby blue buttoned-down cardigan goes well with silver or gold gemstone jewelry, or a costume necklace with a multi-colored stone pendant. A boring brown jacket comes alive with a bright earthy toned scarf hung loosely under the lapels or with a pinned costume broach.

Until real money is coming in and you set aside money for monthly additions to the wardrobe, shoes are not accessories. By starting with only one of the major color families, you should only need two pairs of comfortable but classic work shoes. Eventually, we all realize we spend so much time at the office and in our work “uniform,” it is worth the boost in happiness to wear what makes us feel good. For the beginning of any work wardrobe though, the good feeling really needs to be physical when it comes to shoes, and not emotional from the cuteness.

Finally, to avoid buying “just the deals and steals,” write out the work wardrobe pieces you are looking for before you go to the stores. A small note with the number of slacks, skirts, and tops with specific color types will help you avoid a hodge podge of clothes once you are home. Sure, two of the shirts you bought were only $5 each, but perhaps they only go with one pair of pants. When one of the outfit pieces goes out of commission, either from snagging in a car door or an unfortunate coffee spill, and it puts TWO major pieces of your wardrobe on the “injury list.” It is vital when you have little to work with that all the clothing works in at least two different combinations.

It is very easy to let the excitement of a new job bleed over into buying clothes for that first week. A budget for each item will also help because it will prevent you from talking yourself into “deserving” a flashier or designer piece of clothing. Remember, until you actually start working, you have the time to really hunt and only settle for the clothes that fit perfectly, look great together, and give you the most options come Monday morning. One day you may need a bit of happiness from the clothes you wear to work to give a little motivation, but you shouldn’t need a work wardrobe to fill this role until the enchantment of “new job” wears off.
