The Curvy Fashionista Curvy.Confident.Chic.
Summer’s love of Jungle Fever has fashionably trickled into fall, but this time with a sharp sophistication and playful edge- for both the demure and cutting edge fashionistas. For the plus size woman, this trend does not escape us!
In fashioning my Fall Wishlist, I found quite a few animal printed frocks that gave me pause. Happily. From fur details down to the tip of some snakeskin or fish scaled heels; fall has married the animal print- Zebra, leopard, Snakeskin and all in between and in OUR sizes!
Jackets, vest, dresses, skirts, and pants- and let us NOT forget the accessories! Scarves, shoes, and handbags? Yes, yes, and YES!
*SHOPPING HINT and TIPS*
- Any print you chose will draw attention to your curves- so if you LOVE a particular body part and want to emphasize it, choose your animal print and place it there!
- I cannot stress this enough, FIT is key! An ill fitting fabulous garment will only take away from your fabulous look and draw attention to the construction!
- Do not be afraid of prints! If you are afraid of a bold animal print, do the baby steps with accessories, then to a blouse, then a jacket to a dress! See? With baby steps you can do it!
