Your Wardrobe Makes A Lasting Impression - Think Before Dressing

By: Andrea Morris


Dressing for success does not have to be a big mystery or a terrible chore. There are some simple rules for dressing well. If you have the right pieces in your wardrobe, you can pull together a great look in no time! This is true for misses and for plus sizes. Try these tips and see just how great you can look with a little help from the fashion do's.

Just about any figure can wear A-line plus dresses. The majority of women, whether they are plus size or not, are larger on the lower part of their body (hips and thighs) than they are on the upper half. The beauty of the A-line dress is that it is great for this body shape by fitting at the waist, but then floating away from the lower part of the body camouflaging any problem areas in the rear end and thighs. However, it also is great if you are larger on top. The A-line dress will give you more balance by adding volume to your lower half, giving your figure a curvier look.

Every girl should have at least one little black dress. No matter what her size, every girl should have at least one little black dress in her closet. Dress it down for day wear with a jacket or cardigan and simple accessories, or dress it up for evening with dressy shoes and some pretty jewelry. When that last minute party or event pops up, you have something to grab and you can be ready to go at a moment's notice.

Since no one else is going to be looking at the labels on your clothes, make sure that you purchase the size that fits you. Plus size outfits that fit, are actually more flattering to your figure than those sizes that you have to squeeze yourself into. Also, too small clothing will emphasize the unflattering parts of your figure rather than making you look better. Be careful, of course, to not go too big either as that is also unflattering.

Pair a jacket with a dress for a sharp career look. This is a great look for the office. A sheath dress is sleek and flattering. When paired with a fitted, matching blazer, it is taken to the next level and is an easy, classic professional look. The fitted jacket will also give you a flattering, slimming look that is very fashionable.

Use separates to create more options. Choose several pieces that you can mix and match for different looks. Pair a great jacket with a simple top and some cute slacks or a skirt. Have a wardrobe that has many pieces that go together. A few jackets and cardigans, several tops and a few pants and skirts that all work together can give you tons of options. Dressing well does not have to be difficult, just be creative, get clothes that fit you and have fun. When you feel good in your clothes, it will definitely show.
