I have always liked camouflage because it always look sporty, and fresh, and like animal print, it never goes out of style.

 

My doctor told me to implement different forms of exercise that would be easy for me and I decided to use walking as my main exercise.

I have chronic medical issues so walking works for me.  Finding cute workout clothes for plus-size women can be a little difficult so I have looked around and found some sources that will work for me. 

Workout leggings are very comfortable to wear as long as they fit well.  I don't want them to look too tight because I want a uniform look.

Workout wear does not have to be expensive.  I have found some cute workout wear at Walmart that is very comfortable.

Workout wear is good to lounge around the house in too. 

Please keep in mind that you need workout well that is good quality so your workout wear can last a long time.  

When you purchase your workwear make sure that you put it on and stretch and do some exercise to make sure that it is comfortable and it does not restrict you in any way.  If it does, return it promptly to the company where you purchased it.

During the pandemic, workout wear has been the perfect clothing staple that we have to look good and feel good in.  

To make your workout wear more comfortable, make sure that you wear a sports bra.  

I have still had some issues finding complete sets so I had to buy the pants and then the top.  This can be frustrating at times.

You can find a lot of cute workout wear by shopping at a variety of retailers to find a good variety of sizes and styles.  I don't just shop at one place.

Don't let no one try to shame you when you are exercising in your workout wear.  People like to do this to plus-size people and it needs to stop.  Look cute and hold your head up high.

Here are five retailers to purchase workout wear for plus-size women

1. Torrid
2. Amazon
3. Asos
4. Good American
5. Ashley Stewart

These resources will help you find some workout clothes that will make you look and feel your best.

Be you and stay fabulous!

Cute Plus- Size Clothing That'S Affordable

There are affiliate links in this post which mean that I will receive a small commission if a purchase is made

Searching for nice affordable clothing for plus-size women can be a tedious chore. It seems like you can only find clothes suitable for younger women or the clothes can be dowdy and very old.

There are many sites where you can find clothing for both young women and older women who want to dress nice and clothing with a good fit, but you have to search all over. When you find a good retailer, you better stick with lt.

It is very important to know your measurements when ordering online, or you will be very frustrated.  I used to just order blindly and I was constantly sending things back.  

You can even do this if you are shopping in person at a store and this will save you a lot of time.

I am apple-shaped so it is hard sometimes to find fashions suitable for my figure, so I usually do a search for fashions for women who are apple-shaped, to come up with some ideas and it has really helped me to find clothes that fit and to enhance my particular shape. 

You can do the same and you also can go to Pinterest to see what people are wearing that have your shape.  That makes it easier to find cute plus-size clothes that are affordable and make you look good.

When you go to an online store make sure you save cute clothes to your wishlist to make it easier to go back to order.  This will save you so much time.

If you are looking to save money; go to the online site and place the items that you want into your cart and leave it there for 24 to 48 hours and the retailer may send you an email regarding sales for the clothing items that you want.

Lies And Myths About Plus Size Women.

Hello Ladies:  I have been a plus size women most of my life and over the years I notice and heard all the myths and lies that were told about us, so, let us look at these myths and bust them and you can even add some of your own if you can think of some.

                                     Lies And Myths About Plus Size Women

We eat all the time:  This is a myth because a lot of us in fact, do not have a big appetite.  Our bodies carry more weight or we eat sweets and carbohydrates that are not kind to our bodies.


We don't smell good:  I have heard this myth many times.With all the body weight, we know that we have to try harder to keep ourselves clean and fresh and we make it a habit to bathe both day and night.  We love to wear the finest perfumes and we smell divine.


We are lazy:  This is a myth because there are a lot of ladies who work, run businesses and take care of our families and we do the same things as a person of a so-called normal weight.  I have seen some thin people who are very lazy.


No Man wants to marry us:  Just look around and you will see many plus size women with husbands or boyfriends and some men specifically like a plus size lady.  Truthfully, you will see more "big girls" with husbands than smaller women.  Men like to take a woman out who isn't always complaining that she is on a diet.


We are desperate and will take care of a man:  This is a myth because we are like any other woman. There are women who put up with this behavior, but, I know a lot of women who definitely will not take care of a man and will demand respect from her mate.

  Some men automatically think that if you are plus size, you will be their fool and this is a misnomer.  If you mistreat us, we will get rid of you very fast.


We are sloppy and wear ugly clothes:  I remember a time when there was not a good variety of clothing for plus size women, but, times have changed and I am so thankful for this.  We love to look good and wear fashionable clothing too.

 So many retailers carry clothing in our size now, and we can also get our clothing online and we can look just as good as anyone.

We love clothing that accentuates our curves and in beautiful colors.
They think we are not smart because we are fat:  I have no idea who thought of this because a bigger body doesn't have anything to do with our intellect.

  A lot of us are very bright and if people would have a real conversation with us without worrying about our size, they would know that we bring a lot to the table ( No Pun Intended).
We should only wear black because black is slimming:  If I had to wear black clothing I would scream.

  I think that we can wear clothing in beautiful colors just like anyone and I also encourage it because black clothing can sometimes wash us out.

As long as the clothing has a good fit, we can wear it.
All of us are unhealthy:   If your weight is affecting your health, then you should try to lose some weight but I know some ladies who have no health issues at all, so, we should not be put in a box.

 There are ladies who are very healthy and you will see them strutting proudly with a big, beautiful, smile on their faces.

* I hope this post eliminate the lies and the myths and I am sure that there are a lot more.

Ladies, live loud and proud and don't let any one's perception of you, get in the way of you living your life to the fullest.

We are beautiful and we have value.  Let's show the world what we are made of!

QVC You Are The Leader!

I have been  watching the shopping networks for many years.  Many times I imagined myself presenting Jewelry and describing the product and getting a chance to talk to the customers interested in buying Jewelry at affordable prices.  Being a plus sized girl most of my life I quietly thought that people my size could never get a job in the TV Shopping Network arena.

Many years ago, they didn't even have any plus size models.  I would watch models showcasing the many famous clothing brands and sometimes I was afraid to order because I was not sure that the style or cut of the garment would suit my body type.

Well, QVC I have to salute you.  Recent years I have seen so many changes in QVC because you have a variety of host who are plus size.  This makes me feel very proud because now, a young lady will see these beautiful plus size women and say to herself " I can do this too".

These plus size ladies who work for QVC are very proficient at their job and it makes me more eager to order clothing from them.

QVC have plus size models who vary from size 12 on up and some even look like they are a size 20.  I can tell from the way they are wearing the item whether it would look good on me and it is such an blessing because we no longer have to stand in the background wearing the big shapeless Mumu.

Accepting yourself at any size is a great thing to do.  If you don't, nobody else will!

Such A Cute Throwback Outfit.

I was at the Mall last week and i saw this cute skirt with the black top  and i fell in love with it.  I had seen this skirt about two years ago at my local thrift store and i didn't get it because i thought that it would be too dated, but i wanted to get it and wear it with some black boots.

The skirt was no more than three dollars at the thrift store and i wish that i had gotten it.  This skirt at the department store was about twenty or thirty dollars which isn't bad.

I have learned a serious lesson and that is, when i see an item of this sort; just get it!
Sometimes you really have to think out of the box and make an outfit work for you.  I am thinking of going back to the Mall and purchasing this skirt.

How To Implement Changes In Your Spending Habits

                                                        SashaMoniqueTalks

In fall 2014 I promised myself that I would start early and prepare myself for summer 2015 by searching the clearance racks in department stores and discount stores such as; Rainbow Shops and some of the other discount stores in my area.

I was surprised about the nice skirts, dresses, shoes, and tops I was able to find and I was purchasing them for $5.00 or less.  When I got home I would put all these items in a big bag in my closet.  It was fun doing this because I got excited seeing that big bag of clothes grow.  I didn't want to shop for any clothing for the summer or if I would buy anything it would be very little.

I had no idea that I would be able to do this because as I have said a lot of time " I have a shopping addiction".  Even though I spend very little for my purchases, I still love to shop.

The end of the spring I took out my summer clothes and that big bag of summer things that I purchased throughout the winter and I had a lot of nice clothes.

Putting myself on a clothes spending diet really started to work out for me because I learned how to use what I had along with my winter shopping and I was creating even more great clothing combinations.

I went shopping with my sister a few times and I did buy about four things total. and these items could be used for the fall and winter so I saw it as a good opportunity to get ready for the next season.

Usually, I would hit the thrift stores all summer but I didn't this year and I found that I wasn't bogged down by clothes.  I never realized that this would turn into a social experiment for myself but it did.  I felt so happy and I had a lot of things to wear but I wasn't wasting money.  I saved money and I was also able to buy some luxury items.

In September I will start to shop again for the spring and summer and buy just a few winter things.  I have really learned a great lesson and that is; I really didn't need as much stuff as I was buying and once you have a wardrobe, you don't have to replace that wardrobe every year if you buy items that will not go out of style.

My experiment taught me to be thankful for what I already have.

PLUS SIZE LADIES, SHOW YOUR COLOR

ORANGE WITH CLASS

BLUE AND WHITE WITH PIZZAZ

 

BEAUTIFUL IN WATER COLOR

 

PASTEL YELLOW AND FLIRTY

 

LEMON YELLOW WITH CURVES

 

 

PEACOCK COLORS AND FABULOUS

 

GREEN AND BLUE WITH MASS APPEAL

 

ABSTRACT WITH COLORFUL SOPHISTICATION

 

 

Ladies, I just wanted to debunk the myth that we should not wear color.  We can find clothing in the right shapes that will make us look just as pretty as any other women.  Color can bring out our beautiful playful nature.  I am a big fan of colorful clothing and some people feel that we should only wear black and that is not so. 

 

Black clothing can sometimes make us look dowdy and plain old boring.  This is how I feel about it.

When I am shopping I like to look for colors that will enhance my complexion.  Someone asked me why I wear so many colors and I turned right around and asked them why they don't and they said; colors will make you look bigger and  (fat women)  should not be seen in them.

 

I love to create my own trends in regard to dressing my plus size body.  I think that I look pretty in color and I will not dim my light for anyone and neither should you.

 

My problem areas are my arms and my stomach, but, you can learn how to camouflage these areas.

 

As you can see, all these ladies in these pictures look absolutely terrific and I would wear any one of these outfits.

 

The main thing that we should remember is dressing for our shape and body type.  If the outfit, you wear is fitting you poorly, then you should pick another one that is flattering, but you can wear any color you want.
