Disguise yourself in these pieces

Being plus size and trendy is possible!  Especially these days with a variety of designers marketing the plus size industry.  Bout time people get on board.  I sometimes find that you have to sacrifice quality for trends.  And you know what?  that is okay because it is a trend and trends typically mean one or two season.   

Here are some great pieces that you should spend some money on because they will carry you out for a while.  The great thing about these pieces are they can help disguise some of your problem areas and accentuate our bodies.

Silk Scarves

We don't wear these anymore they grandma use too.  Stay away from the neck grasp unless you are hiding something ;)   These are to be worn loosely hanging or draped.  They add great persona to any outfit.  If you go busy on the scarf tone it down on the wardrobe and viceversa.  By wearing a scarf you draw attention to your face and not your body.  Whoot Whoot....keep the eyes up people.

Bold Cardigans

Oh how I love thee!  These have become every girls shield.  I call them the fancy blankie.  These help cover the endless flaws from the waist and up.  Please note ladies, I am talking bold colors not the boring Mr. Rogers cardigan.  Though I do love me some Mr. Rogers.  We want to see Purple, Chartreuse, Green etc.  Make these pop from your wardrobe.  Go with some bling or simple but with some blingy buttons.  You can go long or short.  Button them half way or leave like a shrug.  Cute Cute Cute.  How fun all the while covering up.

Tunic Tops

Can we say love you "long" time?  These are spectacular for those wanting to "hide" the backside.  Frequently I get ladies in the store saying I want LONG!  Well you are in luck because tunic tops are long and have style to boot.  If you were to pair this up with a fitted jean and one of your scarves and throw those boots on girl....let's say sweeeet!  So now you have your ass covered and slimmed by the jeans.  Go on about yourself girl!  This is a tireless option and is suited for most ages.

Tuxedo Jacket

Trend alert....This is really a great piece to have in the closet this season.  Get too hot?  Well roll up the sleeve to a 3/4 sleeve and pair with your choice of bottoms.  This will work like the cardigan.  It will cover and will give you the illusion of a waist.  Don't go long in this jacket because it can shorten you in a hurry and make you look bigger than what you may be.  Keep it mid-rear to waist and wear it open.

These are all great pieces and will flatter most shapes and sizes.   Don't judge a book by its cover, get in there and try on the pieces you may shy away from.  You must keep your shape in mind and open up your closet door to these ideas.

Fashion with a passion.
