Plus Size Women Can Still Look Fabulous
- By:Eric Menzies Menzies
Accessories can be the difference between a great outfit and a poor one. The right accessories can make an ordinary outfit look impressive, while badly chosen accessories can ruin the look of an otherwise terrific ensemble. There are a few factors that you should keep in mind when selecting accessories; if you do so, your outfits will always be in style, and you will be admired for your good taste in fashion.
The plus size girls of today have finally made it clear that they a) will not purchase ensembles that do not flatter them, plus b) they control a very large part of the consumer buying power, and c) that plus size girls prefer to (and do) look BEAUTIFUL! Gone are the days of the ugly tent-like ensembles! Many designers now realize this, and are adding pieces that are flattering for the woman of size.
Purses can make or break your look. When choosing a purse, size is a critical factor. Micro-mini purses make the women carrying them look larger, so these purses are a bad choice for plus size gals. A bag that is too large is equally unflattering--you don't want to look like you're hauling luggage. Once you find a good size bag that suits your taste, you may want to find one a bit flashier for evening events. After that, you should be set for most occasions. You may prefer to have several different purses for different kinds of looks or to suit your mood--just be sure it suits you first!
Dainty, petite jewelry just doesn't hold up on a plus size girl. It just makes you look larger. A string of pearls is always a classic, but you can give it a twist by selecting a longer strand and knotting it toward the end. This gives it a bit of chunk and is still very classy. Bangle bracelets and solid pieces are very complimentary. You don't have to stay completely away from small chains, dainty jewelry, but balance it with a piece that is strong and can hold up your look. Just always think proportion.
Cute shoes matched with the right outfit can make plus sized girls look great. Even with large feet, this can still be accomplished. This is true so long as the style of the shoe is right. A fun and flirty shoe that will look good on anyone is the espadrille. Heels can be worn no matter your size and you can even go for a shorter heel size if a three inch heel isn't your thing. Price is always a factor; if you want your shoes to look good then you should be prepared to pay for it. Cheap shoes won't carry off your look and so you should look for classic styles in complimentary colors that will deliver on the price you pay. This done, you should be set, no matter your size.About the author:
