Fashion Faux Paux...Avoid at all cost!

As with just about anything in life, there are rules. This applies to fashion as well. There are things a woman of size can do with ease and there are things that she should never do. I'm a firm believer in the rule of

"Just because they make it in your size, doesn't mean you should wear it!"

I have a really hard time seeing bigger women walking down the street wearing a pair of low riders with their booties hanging out and their rolls hanging over. DO NOT DO THIS! This will never be attractive. Ever. There are some wonderfully made jeans out there for plus sized women. There are jeans for every shape. I, myself look better in a boot leg cut jean. I like the slimming appearance it gives my thighs and when I buy an average length and pair them with a great pair of boots, it gives me the appearance of height (which I don't have) and really long legs (which I also do not have).

Another fashion faux paux that plus sized women make is buying the wrong size bra. I know how it is. You go into the store and you see a really beautiful and sexy bra and you think to yourself "I must have this!!" But wait. They only have it in a 40D and you're a 42DD. Do not buy this bra! First of all, you're going to cut yourself off around the middle giving yourself the appearance of 14 extra rolls from the armpits down. You're also going to try to squeeze your DD girls into just one D. This is going to give you that third boob affect. This never looks sexy. Ever. Resist the temptation and keep shopping. Plenty of stores offer some really incredibly sexy bras that still give you the support and coverage you need when you're blessed with ample assets.

My final "Don't" for the day is midriff shirts. If you aren't rocking abs of steel then I truly don't think the midriff shirt is for you. In reality, its a personal choice but I just can't see why a woman would want her fat rolls hanging out for the world to see. There are so many cute and form fitting tees that would look equally stunning on you as on any other woman while still concealing the fluffies. Resist the urge to let it all hang out, please!

That's it for my first installment of Fashion Faux Paux. I've got many more and will present them on a regular basis! Somewhere there is a big girl dressing badly and I'm going to always find her!
