Sometimes we are slaves to fashion because "someone" tells us that it is fashionable. My suggestion to you is to be unique and an individual. Go for a classic look. It is interesting that the word "Classic" means (in the fashion sense) of enduring interest, quality, or style: a classic design; classic clothes. When putting together that next outfit make sure it is something that looks good on YOU. For us curvy girls we have a "classic" look all our own that varies from girl to girl. A great look for almost everyone is an outfit that enhances the good and distracts the eyes of onlookers from the parts we'd rather not reveal. Don't be afraid to try different cuts and styles. For those of us with a bit more around the mid-section, yet a healthy looking bosom, go for empire waist dresses and tops.
Don't like your arms, enhance them with long and/or loose sleeves. A cute style that I've noticed (works for me) are bell sleeves but not extremely long.
Before putting all these great ideas together remember that in order to have a sound structure (your outfit) you must start with a great foundation. A good foundation is like a good friend; it will stop you from embarrassing yourself while yet giving you room to be yourself. In other words the foundation piece (bottom, top, or full) you choose should give you room to move while keeping things smooth and appealing.
Who you are will show through your outfit and possibly even brighten your day more so knowing that you are letting your inner person shine through fabulous fashion choices, knowing that you are looking good!
Fabulously Yours,
Gretchen
