How To Make Fashion Work For You

I don't know about you but as we usher in a new season, I always feel like updating my look. I know shopping can be an emotional experience when you don't feel like you have many options. But I am here to day to tell you that you do.

People have always commented on my clothing and accessories, I attribute it to my love of statement pieces and a good sense of what woks for my body. Many of our plus size sisters are guilty of either cloaking their bodies in ill-fitting fashion to hide what they don't like or squeezing themselves into unflattering pieces not meant for the plus size body.

Take note of the colors that you see in rotation and trends that are deemed fashionable. As a plus-size diva, I always think of how the trends will translate for my body type.

The next time you browse through a magazine or stroll through a store take a minute to think how you can make it work for you!

 Stay Gorgeous!
