Love To Know and It's Getting Easier To Get Dressed



I've always said grrrls just want to get dressed.
If you wear a larger size, you know how hard it can be to "just get dressed."
Lovetoknow dot com interviewed me a couple of years ago about the state of the plus size fashion world. I just read the article again and it's still relevant.
The article covers my background and career as a former plus size spokesmodel, magazine editor and fashion stylist.
It gets easier and easier to get dressed.
Last week I ordered a four piece capsule wardrobe off gapdotcom and guess what, they had my size, the size chart was accurate and everthing fit. I can't believe how cool my short, straight camouflage print khaki skirt is.
I kept one out the three bathing suits I ordered from Newport News,
and considering how many bathing suits I try on at retail every year to find the approximately 10 suits I purchase each year, one out of three is a home run. This suit is really sexy and I can't wait to wear it in the turquoise waters of Puerto Rico!

Little Black Dress



The Little Black Dress ... Well in my case the "little" doesn't apply, but black is the new black, or so they say. Thank Chanel for our fixation with this dress, but a great one is hard to find in a larger size. Kiyonna has some really great black dresses and several are classics, meaning you can keep them forever and they will always look good. http://www.kiyonna.com/plus-size-clothing/Little_Black_Dresses
My faves are the knit wrap dress and the 3/4 Sleeve Scalloped Lace Dress.

The perfect pairing with a black dress:
  • Patent Leather High Heels
  • Gold or Silver Anything
  • Pearls - But you knew that
  • Red Lipstick - You knew that too
  • Black Lace Bottomed Leggings - hard to find, but after a Google search, found some on eBay of all places!
