Dress Me Up Dollie

Alright chickadees, as you go out into the world for a fabulous weekend (mine is going to include floating the river and working on my tan), I'd like you to keep a few things in mind.  For me.  Can you do that?  Inspired by Full Figure Plus' article "Top Ten Fashion Don'ts for Plus Size Curvy Fashionistas", I have a list:  5 dos and don't in fashion (and life!)

1. DO accentuate your positive features.  Got a tiny waist?  Belt it up!  Don't worry about over-accentuating your hips--I promise this look only flatters!  Do you have fabulous cleavage (I'd go so far as to say most women do!)?  Get out that v-neck t-shirt!  For you girls with great gams--be bold and wear that miniskirt today!  And if you can't think of anything you like about yourself--take a nice hot shower.  Use an exfoliating scrub and think about exfoliating away all those negative thoughts.  Then do your hair up your favorite way and put do your makeup.  I always feel better when I walk out the door knowing that I have a pretty face!
2. DON'T beat yourself over flaws.  Let me tell you--I have a stomach I've been embarassed about my whole life.  But you know what?  It's ok.  You know why?  Because I'm a good person anyway.  There are other great qualities about me.  And no one is absolutely perfect.
3. DO dress appropriately for the situataion.  That sequined dress may be great for going clubbing, but it's probably not the best choice for picking up your nephews at school.  When you're dressed correctly for the situation, you're less likely to worry about your clothes and your personality will be able to shine through!
4. DON'T be lazy!  So many women say they don't have time for fashion.  It's not true!!  It takes just as much time to dress well in the morning as it does to dress poorly!  Putting a blazer on over your jeans dresses them up instantly and takes no time at all!  A sundress takes LESS time to put on than sweats!  Let's be serious here, you have the time to dress well, so DO!
5. DO get a bra that fits and supports.  This is taken straight from Full Figure Plus.  It is critical that your breasts sit where they're supposed to at all times!  Saggy boobs are sad boobs.  And when your girls are in the right place, shirts and dresses fit better (you know, the way they're supposed to!).  Never be afraid to be proud of your cleavage!

Remember that the most important part of selling anyone on anything is CONFIDENCE.  Be confident in yourself, be confident in your clothing choices and be confident that I love you!  Happy weekend y'all!
