A Spring Sweater

I am counting down the days until spring arrives. I can’t wait to pack up my winter boots, jackets, and scarves. While spring doesn’t usually necessitate tank tops and flip flops, I do enjoy wearing beautiful pastel colored short sleeved shirts at this time. To stay warm during the cool spring mornings and nights, I often slip on a colorful sweater over my short sleeved blouse. Sweaters are a great way to bridge the gap in your wardrobe between the cold winter months and the hot summer months. If you currently don’t own any spring sweaters, now is a great time to stock up on them. On this blog, you will learn how to find the perfect sweaters to match your spring shirts. Enjoy!

How To Make The Most Of Your Plus Size Body

by Anna Obrien

Have you tried every diet you've ever heard of and have never lost the weight you wanted to shed? Maybe you're slim, but you're taller than you want to be. Perhaps you have realized that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. Hopefully, you have come to accept the fact that you are not a Barbie Doll or a Twiggy. From building your self esteem to buying trendy plus size fashions, here are some ideas on how to make the most of your large size body.

Make An Evaluation - Before you even go shopping, make an assessment of yourself. Ask yourself some important questions and see what you can do about the answers.

  1. Do you feel confident with who you are? In other words, do you look at the life you live and find that you are happy with it? 
  2. Take a look in the mirror and check out your posture. Does it convey to other people that you are self assured?
  3. Are you healthy? Do you eat well, get plenty of sleep and do you have a good exercise routine?
  4. Are you stimulating your mind by learning new things and challenging yourself?
  5. Do you dress in a way that exemplifies your excellent self worth?

Take Action - After asking yourself the previous questions, be proactive about what you need to do.

  1. Make a list of the things you like about yourself. For example, if you love to give service to others, write that down.
  2. Do you already have great posture? If so, great! If not, start doing simple things like buying a plus size posture bra. Walk with books on your head!
  3. If you don't feel that you are taking good care of your body, start an exercise routine and develop good eating habits. Tweak your sleeping hours.
  4. Think about taking a class to challenge your mind. For example, if you have always wanted to learn a foreign language, sign up for a language class.
  5. Perhaps you are frustrated when you shop for clothes at regular stores. From now on, think about shopping at stores that sell trend plus size fashions. Make friends with the clerk at your favorite plus size clothes store and ask him or her to notify you when things have arrived that she knows will be perfect for you.

As you shop for trendy plus size fashions, think about establishing a basic wardrobe. A good way to start is to select your favorite color and to get accessories that will add a different look to things like skirts and pants.
