From Blah to Bright: New colors leading to a new you!

Hello ladies! Today I want to talk with you about our color personalities. As plus size women we tend to stick to dark colors, mostly because like everyone we all know that dark colors like for example black; hides a multitude of sins. Well ladies I challenge you! I challenge you to step out of your box and branch into trying different colors. I am very guilty of committing the same crime. I think for the longest time I felt comfortable in black. It hid features I didn't want anyone to see, and it enabled me to not care what I looked like or how I felt when wearing it. Those days are over, I not only challenge you; but myself as well. Try to wear colors that in the past you've tried to stay away from, because you felt as if they were unflattering. If your still uncomfortable with those colors try pairing them with a dark color to make the dark color pop more; and be more appealing. Prints also scare some Plus Size Divas, well I'm here to tell you; fear no more! For the spring its very typical for plus size clothing retailers to carry floral prints. I don't know about you divas, but I'm not a fan of the floral print. Sometimes when I go into a store looking for a great spring/summer dress with prints on them; the prints are in the wrong places, bringing too much attention to what I don't want people to see, or the dress is cute; but the print on it makes it ugly. Have you ladies had any of these same issues? What are some of the things you've come across in your shopping adventures that made you want to turn and run? My rule of thumb when wearing a print is to pair it with a solid color. Depending on the print it self it can sometimes be difficult to imagine how you would wear it. But, I stress to you divas you'll never know how you feel about it until you try it for your self. Just because were big women doesn't mean that we are forever trapped in a world were the only color that exists is black. Until next time, Divas!
