Don't let fashion pass you by, High waisted skirts ladies!!
Belted silk
For those outtings
Flow
Beautiful beginnings
The era of flower-printed muumuus is long gone. The fashion caste system that separates people into "those who can" (skinny and rich) and "those who can't" (everyone else), a system created by snobby designers and power-hungry fashion editors (who, by the way, are often plus-size themselves), is crumbling. A fashion utopia is emerging, one that offers several fashion options for curvy fashionistas, none of which involve polyester tent dresses.
This guide gives you the rules to follow to enhance your voluptuous, fashionable self. Take that, Kate Moss!
The Rules
In this diet-obsessed, waif-model culture, designers still gear their creations toward a size 4 and their version of "plus size" is just a bigger size 4. Fear not, though- commit these size rules to heart and watch your style quotient rise.
Dress Monochromatically. Dressing in one color de-emphasizes your problem areas by creating one long silhouette. This works with any color, not just black.
Embrace Vertical Stripes. Vertical stripes make you look thinner by forcing the eye to look up and down. Avoid wearing horizontal stripes alone (see the tip below on how to wear horizontal stripes).
Put on a blazer with a belt. Throwing a blazer or cute jacket over a pair of belted pants and shirt makes your waist look smaller because the eye can't see how far the waist extends around. This trick also works with horizontal stripes under a blazer.
Get measured for a bra. Wearing the right size bra can make you look thinner. Over eighty percent of women, say the experts, wear the wrong size bra and a large percentage of plus size women do it because they're embarrassed by the larger sizes. Head to your nearest department store and get properly fitted for a bra.
Buy clothes that fit. If a garment bulges or shows your "rolls", it doesn't fit or you might be wearing the wrong bra size.
Break out the heels. Heels elongate your legs, making you look slimmer in the process.
Low-rise is not an option. Very few people, regardless of size, can wear low-rise pants. Just because something is in style doesn't mean it will work for you. I recently saw a picture of a tz girl who believed to be just like beyonce, well I am not one to judge but I believed she had a beautiful shape but wore the wrong things...her waist line was very high up and she was very thin at the top..the wrong note was to wear lowrise jeans and a cropped top which made her look like she has what I call 'extra drawers on her sides which she didnt.' Girls, I am not an expert but please wear a style that compliments you body not just coz it's in style!!
Stay Blessed, Stay Beautiful
