I love the change I’ve seen in the fashion world to include plus-size fashions as part of the text in style magazines, and not just at special times.  It acknowledges that a majority of American women are wearing size 10 and up and they don’t want to wear moo-moos or black tent dresses.  Full size women want to look chic and sexy just like anyone else!

Make sure you have solid core group of clothing pieces (black dress, white button down shirt, trench, khaki and black slacks, and good looking jeans).  Building on these core pieces with trendy, colorful additions which add style to your look.  Work to play up your best assets (waistline, arms, back…), and continue your path of clean eating and exercise (cardio and weight training) to continue good health and the physical results you seek.  But most importantly, you have to find peace with your shape, and shine!
