~Curvy and Classy~

as a "curvy lady" I have struggled with looking appropriate, professional, feeling cute and still being comfortable. I see a lot of woman who still haven't "gotten it" and I still hit some bumps along the way. I prefer casual, somewhat folky, and simple. Here is some Do's  for Curvy Ladie's Spring Clothes:


                     Spring Outfit  
                         ~ DO~

                                                                    Enhance curves by wearing stripes. Yes... everyone says horizontals are No-No's but this is a very simple casual dress that you can do alot with and stripes look great on everyone period. A jean jacket and colored flats would be something I would lean towards for work, but it would look nice with a ponytail and some low heels for a date. Make sure to create a waist with a belt, cardigan or blazer if you are short!Like me....

Wear tunic style tops, 

they lengthen your waist and cover your tummy and  possible unwanted muffin top.

A neutral classic coat that stops at the waist. You can wear this with a dress
as seen here, dress pants and a blouse, or jeans and a tee and still look
 slightly dressed up. Hey check out the stripe dress....... ;)

Pair a flowy Cardigan with a black tank and dark jeans. Make sure your tank is long enough to cover your  stomach but stops at right below the waist. This will create  your hips instead of looking like you are covering them .

I must add I usually don't shop at F21. It targets a younger crowd but you can find cheap sensible stuff that is hip is you look and it does have a plus size section. Here are some online stores that you can go to for dressy or casual clothes that are reasonably priced and still fit appropriately for curvy ladies: Old Navy, Ruche, Modcloth, and American Eagle has sizes up to 18.
