Curvy Girl Fashion

Shopping Guide

 Finding on-trend, hip, plus-size fashion can be a challenge, especially in the rural area I live.  I want to dress nicely just like the next girl, but sometimes it seems like finding an outfit for my curvy frame is almost as easy as making lemonade from a watermelon. 

It can be frustrating to walk into a store, seeing all the uber cute clothes in the enormous misses' and junior's sections, then walking to the plus-size section that is maybe half the size and picking through five racks that hold jeans that belonged to the 1990's and shirts and sweaters that your grandma would wear.  It's almost like department store executives got together and said, "You know the plus-size section?  Let's make it really small and out of style so that those gals don't have a choice but to go on a diet to find something to wear. Mwahhahahah!" (maniacal laugh)

Ok, so that's probably not what they are doing, but it feels like it sometimes.  I mean, all I want to do is wear clothing that is flattering,  well made,  and is on point with current trends. You feel me?

Sometimes, I've had to look a little harder, search a little longer, but the avenues to find trendy, boutique-style clothes are out there.  And I wanted to share them with you today. You know.....just in case you just walked out of a department store empty handed again and are looking for some new places to shop.  I'm looking out for you, here!
