Fall Into a New You
One of the coolest things about cooler autumn weather is the new fashions. And even though we may be in the middle of an Indian Summer on any given week, the new sweaters, skirts and styles are like a signpost each year, calling me to my renovated wardrobe. Okay, okay, with the recession in full bloom, my “new wardrobe” may be two beautiful floor length skirts, a great pair of plus size jeans and a Waist Tie Cardigan, but that’s okay with me. I still get to pamper myself and have a party while I’m shopping (usually online because of my busy schedule), and then throw ANOTHER party when the package arrives and I get to try on my treasures. (For the full figured fashion hunter like me, it also saves me having to get undressed in dressing rooms that seem to become less and less private – some are even co-ed now. Ick.)
Fall fashions are my favorite anyway though. Like a lot of full-figured fashion conscious women, short-shorts and halter tops aren’t exactly my niche. But I am confident enough about my looks to enjoy those summer favs sometimes. And I’m not fond of hiding my sultry curves under layers and layers, like winter wardrobes dictate. So the crisp air of autumn is my bell ringing. I wake up in the morning and add a cute vest to a pair of jeans or tie a great scarf around the waist of my favorite plus size peasant skirt and I head out for a great day. Sometimes I feel like wardrobe is as important for our day-to-day lives as it is for an actor in a 4-star Broadway production. It sets the tone for success when I’m headed out to work (maybe a cool pair of boots) or for a sultry evening if I’m meeting my guy for a great dinner (heels, definitely heels). You get what I mean.
And every season the new fashions are like an art gallery where I can actually afford the art. (Hey, who doesn’t need a smooth, silky Monet or a funky Picasso-like print dress to top off her wardrobe?) You see, wardrobe is one of those things that actually BRAND us in our lives. You can create an impression of classy in about five seconds when you walk in the room – IF your outfit says that. And if it doesn’t, well, you may never get there. That’s how important the costume is to the stage we’re setting.
Now some of this is intuitive. Nobody goes to a red-carpet event in whitewashed denim jeans. But hey, what a statement if they did. And no one goes to pizza hut in floor length sequins, but again, what if you did? Figuring out your personal style is FUN when it comes to your closets and drawers. You can literally reinvent yourself every season and even every outfit! So give yourself a great gift today – go into your closet and pick one old ensemble that you haven’t worn in a year, donate it to Good Will and sit with your favorite plus size clothing website and choose something new to replace it. Hey, it may just inspire a whole new act to your own 5-star show. Encore anyone?
