Just because one is tall does not mean that one is thin :O) It seems like many plus sizes are in poo brown or baby poo brown or baby poo green. What's up with that?!?! My wish list for your new Mo Clothes line:<br />1. Pastels and fun colors<br />2. Nothing that remotely looks maternity<br />3. Tall / long jeans and shirts<br />4.

It's bad enough when I go shopping and all the clothes in my size are frumpy looking yet in the lower sizes are these amazing, stylish outfits. Just because I want elastic waistbands doesn't mean I don't want to look stylish to. Drives me nuts.<br /> The worst was when I took my bridesmaids shopping in '03 and there were two girls in the store complaining because the size 2 dresses were just TOO BIG for them. They were demanding nothing bigger than a size 0 (I didn't even know those sizes existed)Mbeaty19https://www.blogger.com/profile/11201072477303553252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292605187112994711.post-29875351733913617722011-03-25T09:55:21.829-05:002011-03-25T09:55:21.829-05:00Avenue, baby!

I do find a few things at LB but I shop almost exclusively at Avenue. Most of their stuff is young and hip and they do email coupons/GREAT sales. I have to try on everything as my size in one piece may be totally different in another but it is worth it to me.Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03141049137302215836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292605187112994711.post-14571988023538619622011-03-25T09:53:04.260-05:002011-03-25T09:53:04.260-05:00I love scoping out magazines for jewelry ideas!

Altho...Oh come on Mo don't beat up on yourself. Although "skinny" is cute, it doesn't mean they "tip the scale" in the fashion world. Plus size can rival their "skinny little tails too"! :)<br /><br />However here are a few tips if you just wanna pep-up the wardrobe!<br /><br />Those magazines can be a wealth of information if you need ideas on "changing/enhancing your wardribe". No need to try and buy some of that over-priced stuff! There are lots of great stores probably in your area to find simlar things that are in most of those magazines! There are stores such as JCP, Macy's, CATO's, ROSS, Marshalls, Target and even Walmart who all make good replicas of most of those over-priced things. <br /><br />I have a niece who is a plus-size girl and she can rival any skinny-minny!! She is always getting compliments on how well she dresses! You just got to know how to accentuate and accessorize! Believe it or not you can BELT!!! Stay away from the baggy clothes, it will only accentuate the things you DONT wanna bring attention to. I love your "taste in colors"! Mo, you have all that wonderful jewelry....girl you are sitting on a GOLD-MINE!! You don't have to be skinny to "look good/fashionable".<br /><br />Also pin your hair in a cute little style sometimes. *I dont mean PONY either*. I dare say cut it* (you know how I am about such a personal-decision) HOWEVER, I'm the short-hair type girl. I love the no fuss type hair, plus it sassy!<br /><br />YOU my friend have a gorgeous face/eyes so don't let that hair hide your assetts..so flaunt 'em girl!! <br /><br />Why not give it a try and if you like it do a Mo Makeover post! <br /><br />I like to see you in FRONT of the camera sometimes!!snekciphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10686413749838968519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292605187112994711.post-37134898628754746112011-03-25T09:25:43.143-05:002011-03-25T09:25:43.143-05:00I finally got my mother to stop wearing Christophe...I finally got my mother to stop wearing Christopher Banks and start wearing Ann Taylor Loft.

I went on WW in 07 and lost 60 lbs and about 2 years later I found it and more. I HATE shopping for myself! I only go shopping if there is a weeding or a funeral.. (sad isn't it) I'm all for a big girl catalog with TRUE sizes. You have style and can put together anything and make it look great. Me on the other hand has to purchase straight from the maniquin. I wouldn't know what matched if it wasn't done for me. I also 2nd the offer of the previous post on cupcakes. :)Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06669268750532628177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292605187112994711.post-19713948751573655372011-03-25T07:02:13.926-05:002011-03-25T07:02:13.926-05:00I'm all over that big girl catalog thing.
