This one is for my big girls... I have been "Plus Size" for about as long as I can remember, although I look back at photos of myself in high school and wonder why I thought I was big then, yes I had a little extra meat on my bones but back then I was a comfortable size 14/16. Average... now... well... lets just say that is no longer the case. The funny thing is that I am more confident now then I was much smaller. I think maybe that comes with age or maybe that comes with the fact that I decided that no matter my size I was going to do my best to look good! It also helps that retailers have figured out that us Curvy girls want the same things that the skinny girls want. WE want to look hot, fashion forward, put together and did I mention HOT!!?
It wasn't until I was 19 that I started embracing my curves and after that not until I was 21 or so before I felt confident. I still have my moments of insecurity as everyone does but I have learned to dress and accept what I am working with now. Do I want to change things? YES! Am I going to punish myself for being a curvy girl by dressing to hide myself? NO!!! I know so many women who won't purchase new things until they have made it to their goal weight or size. All that does is makes you feel like there is something wrong with you now. Be confident and secure in where you are. There are ways to look amazing at any size and with websites like eloquii.com and madisonplus.com. Two of my absolute favorite sites. Retailers are realizing that the average size woman in this country is a size 14+ and are now designing for a fuller figure!!! The days of the moo moos and over sized boxy clothing are GONE!! Bring on the FATSHION. Although.... I could use a bigger bank account as well. :)
