Normally sequins on a top make me nervous. More times than not, designers go overboard with sequins, making the outfit look like something only Las Vegas show girls should wear. That being said, occasionally you can find garments where the sequins are used artistically to create an elegant design, like on this Embellished Sheer Tunic.A sparkling floral design placed on a black background immediately catches the eye. Using a symmetrical design, the sequin embellished front appliqué adds a dash of vivid color. Lime green, sapphire blue and rose pink are set off by gold embroidered outlines. Other than the appliqué front placket, black sequins have been strategically placed on the rest of the tunic, adding shimmer without taking away from the appliqué focal point.
Even if you buy the most neutral colored jacket, you’ll still need more than one coat to go with all your outfits. If your budget is anything like mine, buying multiple jackets isn’t exactly feasible. Don’t get depressed. Get creative! Instead of paying for two jackets, try buying something reversible, like this Reversible Double-Breasted Women’s Coat.
During these busy weeks of the holiday season, most of us are going in and out of buildings for various reasons. The constant temperature change makes it difficult to stay comfortable, which is why I prefer to use a layering strategy.
Certain fabrics are the epitome of luxury, such as silk
I’ve always enjoyed the pieces made by plus size clothing company Kiyonna. Some are quick to criticize the designs because the retailers use the same basic sihouettes and styles at an almost excessive level of redundancy. I subscribe to the school that says if it ain’t broke, then don’t fix it. This old adage remains as only a partial truth at Kiyonna.
When was the last time you frolicked? I mean actively tried have an evening filled with merrymaking and gaiety. When most of us plan to attend an event worthy of a cocktail dress, we can often take things so seriously making sure that everything from our hair to our shoes is polished and put together. As women trying to exude confidence and show that we have everything together, we can get lost in the details and forget to have fun.
Don’t put leather into the category of either shoe or jacket material. Leather is so pliable and multifaceted that it can be made into virtually any piece of clothing. Leather undergarments, for example, can make you feel sexy, confident, and ready to strut your stuff. This Cupless Leather Corset will show off your curves and two of your most notable attributes.The smooth texture of leather emphasizes the sensual design of this outfit. Princess seaming produces an hourglass figure. Light weight boning helps to keep the form supportive around your body. A zipper front lets you easily slip this garment on or off. Adjustable buckles cleverly mask the zipper. These buckles also add serious intensity to the corset. The back laces up, giving you total control to adjust the fit.
If you’re looking for an outfit that screams dangerous vixen, look no further. This leather mini-dress will get your heart pumping with excitement.Sensual design is a key element for this outfit. As a strapless dress, feel free to show off those shoulders. Princess seaming creates a formfitting look that hugs your curves. Molded leather shapes your bust, giving your cleavage a little extra lift. The back is solid leather, but the seams and cut should show off your posterior nicely. Down the center front of the garment, a line of hook and eye closures reveal your skin underneath.
Back when you were younger, I’m sure you thought that by the time we reached year 2000, everyone would be living like the Jetsons. Well, here we are in 2009 and we’re still waiting. While I don’t believe every house will have toothbrushes and showers built in the walls that do the brushing and washing for us, one thing I know for sure is that futuristic fashion is here and it’s showing up in plus sizes.
For far too long plus size women have had to beg, borrow, and steal to be represented in a culture that prizes being thin and fitting a certain standard of beauty above all else. I’m happy to see that things are finally (slowly, but finally) coming around. There are entire television shows devoted to plus size women and men and even some that don’t focus on the characters losing weight (i.e. More to Love). But still, when it comes to creating the cutting edge of fashion in plus sizes, the industry has a long way to go. However, there are companies making steps in the right direction.
