The coming AUTUMN/WINTER

So you think I’m a bit daft writing about Autumn/Winter clothing?   Not so daft because it’s fun and wise to get in early with some of the modern trends that aren’t TOO unlike your favourite styles.   Buying online from overseas suppliers is a bit of a hit and miss, I agree, but have your tried out some of the New Zealand suppliers?

Zebrano is a case in point.  This range from “Moss” goes from 14-24 and gives a hint of what the Australian women will be wearing.  Once again it looks as though black will be the colour of choice, whether alone or with contrasts.  It also looks like boots will be the rage as well.

 

WHY WAIT?

New Year Sales always draw crowds.

But what if you have the opportunity of having a special sale BEFORE the New Year Sales?   Well, Igigi are having a bumper sale - savings up to 80%!!  Yes, that's right - up to 80%.

Feast your eyes on these beautiful garments.

It'a nor only dresses that are on sale - there's jewellery and I couldn't resist this wonderful belt.  In the right colour and you've got to agree you don't see many belts with the generously curved woman in mind, do you?

BOOTS FOR THE DISCERNING WOMAN

It's not often that you find wide fitting boots.  Autograph presently has some extra special specials! This one appeals to me (probably because I love red!).

LAYERING!

I can't count the number of times someone has said to me I don't understand it when you talk about layering.  Is it that the concept itself is difficult to understand or is it that sometimes women have difficulty in establishing what layering can do for them?

Having been a great devotee of layering from "way back", I like seeing some of the newer suppliers who use colours and layering to great effect.   In fact a recent post covered this very same subject, but I thought it was well worth re-visiting, with this lovely outfit just being promoted by Taking Shape 14 plus here in Australia.  

Their garments are sized from 14-24 (Australian sizings).

I love the red used as the major base colour with white, black and floral used to enhance the outfit.

For those of you who don't usually think about "layering", see how many layers you can find at very first glance and think about how YOU can use layering to great effect to compliment and enhance your looks and wardrobe.

Big Girl in a Skinny World

There are some great videos around, and I just came across this one on Youtube.

Accessories, in this instance - BELTS.   It astounds me sometimes how many plus-sizers don't take advantage of all the BIG stuff that's around when it comes to accessories.

Just because there is more of us, doesn't mean that we should ignore our femininity.

Watch and enjoy.
