girl I totally get creating an incentive but when does it stop being an incentive and start being toxic I just want my people to feel comfortable in the skin they are in even if they are working on it xx
Yessss! I love your advice because I haven't bought clothes for awhile now. Yelp waiting to loose those extra pounds. Guess what Sis, I gained even more so I do need help in finding clothes to dress my body now! Who knows when those extra pounds will leave me? I don't!🤣🤣🤣
I recently lost 75lbs, but my arms are flappy from loose skin. So "waiting to loose weight" doesnt solve everything. The insecurity is still there. I hate showing my arms. Luckily in Toronto (Canada)... we only 68° - 90°F degree weather for 3 months of the year. During summer months I always wear light windbreakers, white linen shirts or some floral flowy cover ups (i have so many)
Ooo, chile, lol! I can't believe how many plus-size TH-camrs I see presenting themselves as size 20 when clearly they are a size 26 (or more). I'm like, sis come on now. You not foolin' nobody squeezing into that too small size 20 dress or even worse, pants/jeans! People really need to come correct and stop fronting!
Truth. I am going through and getting rid of my 8s and embracing the 10s, 12s, and the occasional 14 in my closet. IF I ever get back to that 8, I can rebuild my wardrobe and replace. In the meantime let someone else enjoy these things🤗
Wow I didn't know people threw clothes away like that. I always give my clothes away. Someone else can benefit from it and make it better than what I did.
I had 2 kids back to back. My husband is super skinny and never gains weight. He bought me whatever I wanted to eat when pregnant. The weight gain was cute when I was pregnant, but now they’re toddlers. I’m way bigger now. When you said “this is your permission”, I started bawling. Thank you so much for this video. I haven’t bought any new clothes since my baby shower with my first born. I’m going to get new clothes now, and embrace this body I now have. 🤍
Same here I had two kids back to back I went from a size 6 :( to a size 16 I'm down to a size 12 and my husband of course is skinny and super fit.( We used to workout together) I feel like a bag of potatoes don't like going out bc I'm constantly shying away bc of my weight. Thanks for this push I will start wearing whatever I want and feel confident in.
Wow it's like you lived my life. Super skinny husband. Gained weight during pregnancy. Had back to back pregnancies and gained more weight. Now I'm scared to buy new clothes. I live in leggings and oversized t shirts.
I was married for a total of 26 years. During that time, I was only allowed to wear drab, baggy clothes. Now, I'm divorced and completely confused about what to wear. Thank you, you answered questions I was afraid to ask.
Take charge! Let NOBODY tell you what you should do or wear to be “right”. Take your time to find out who you are, and what you want in your life. You deserve it! All my very best wishes goes your way, Michelle 😍
“Stop wearing super tight clothes “. YES find your size ! That has been a game changer . I had 3 kids back to back . And my body has changed sooooo much . I had to find my right size and find clothes for my new body . Wearing my correct size has boosted SO much confidence!
Better than tossing out, schedule a clothes swap with your friends. My bestie does this at the end of every year. We have so much fun trying on and styling outfits. Really economical too! Clothes, shoes, jewelry, outerwear, etc.
Finally! Someone who’s body looks like mine. I’m over size 2 girls telling me how to style my plus size body! You’re so beautiful and stylish, thank you for making these videos.
Yesss. I am not waiting for the goal weight. I just went and got larger shirts and my mom called while I was out at the store. She said you shouldn’t buy more clothes just wait until you lose weight. Sooooo I am supposed to walk around with my stomach hanging out the bottom of my shirt, blouses tight over my breast all in the name of punishing myself? So mom you’re saying I should look sloppy and unpresentable because of ill fitting clothes? So that I will feel worse about myself. Um no ma’am. What were NOT going to do is be toxic to ourselves and abuse ourselves.
My secret to up and down weight is to rock a dress. If it's too big I belt. If I gain a little weight I rock a sweater over it. I also will wear a control bottom that is calf length. And most of my clothes are 3 season proof as much as possible 💕
for the longest time I never wore shorts outside. I have had enough. I am wearing booty shorts all summer long and errbody gonna have to deal with these jiggly thunder thighs!
You had me at Rule #1! I have been a firm believer regarding proper bra fittings for YEARS! Just before my daughter started high school we both got properly sized and it. Was. Life-changing.
This has been helpful to boosting my confidence. I wear mostly baggy clothes and I wear them until they wear out. I hate shopping because it always makes me feel terrible about myself. Often times when I'm around other people, I'm thinking "I'm so sorry you have to see me" when I'm having conversations. This has helped me gain a bit of confidence to go out and look for the things I want to wear. I'm in art school, I don't think they're gonna mind me having fun with my appearance.
I just found your channel and I absolutely adore you! You hands down body everything you put on and are a prime example that you don’t have to be a size 2 to be fashionable. I’m not plus size but I truly appreciate your platform. Now back to binge watching your videos 🤗
Natalie you are too kind Ive always believed this we make great style about style but it isn't! Women like you are vital to our community you are welcome here xx
A lot of people are a cup size larger than they realize. This makes a huge difference, no back bulge, no pain under the armpits, no double boob, I also felt more conservative because I knew I was covered. I'm only a C, but it made such a positive difference. I can only imagine what it would do for larger cups.
I love this channel and the skill this woman has for creating it. I grew up amidst a Kate Moss body-type family. I was quite slim until I had two kids and then gained some weight, which I do not mind. But one of the most important things we need to learn as women is how our bodies are designed uniquely and what fabrics and tailoring are est for us. I was fortunate that my grandmother had been a tailor for Chanel for many years and had her own clients. She had me assist her with clients a few times and the process was so amazing. She would have women come in flats and high heels, walk about naturally, sit on different chairs and get an idea of how their bodies actually worked. The dresses they wanted weren't always what was best for them and she would teach them about their fabrics, structuring and stitching and so many thing I never thought of. My older sister told me I have a high waist, which makes me feel great in pencil skirts, which she could never wear. But just knowing your body type and how to work with it, and never against it, creates such stunning women in every size and shape. My daughter has my family's body type but my niece has more curves like me and she is so abundantly happy and confident that it triples her beauty. Plus she knows what clothing works best for her and that is one of life's most important things for girls to know and embrace.
I'm actually 48 and never had a bra fitting.. was always a bit embarrassed to ask for the help. Love the positive reinforcement in this video.. we have to get past this stuff!
This TH-camr is the sis/auntie we all need. My mother never taught me how to do any of this!! This woman has made me feel more confident the first vudeo I watched! Thank you!
Truer words have never been spoken. I am top heavy and have had bra fittings since middle school (I am 40 now). I am legit passionate about this. I took all my favorite girlfriends to my favorite boutique and got them all fitted for bras. You’d be shocked your REAL size and it makes a huge difference in your look. It elongates the body, and slenderizes. Do yourself the favor.
And talk about hair! When I had Cancer, my long hair came out. At one point it was below my mid back, so of course a self body- image problem! Once I decided to take control, I had a cutting party, things turned around! Though I still haven't tried the tight braids, looks beautiful, but people complain about the pain! They use to say, No pain, No gain, but I'm all about comfort! I embrace my naturally curly hair. Don't have to take hours washing, drying, straightening, I feel So free! ..Wouldn't mind knowing some styles to put it in. The decision to let it grow back or continue to keep it short- Short seems to be winning, been 3 years! And wigs, tried that, makes my head hot, don't know how people stand it! Anyway, discuss fro styles please. ♥️👍
"Rock the body you have PROUDLY." How have I been on the planet 31 years and never heard this? Thank you, thank you, thank you for your content- your words lifted me out of a major body rut today!!!
Thank you sis. It’s not just about being plus size but the shape. Cause a lot of times with plus size models it’s the hourglass model that preferred. It’s good to see someone that really does look like me (and I’ll not referring to skin color).
A lot of plus size fashion is using models who still have thin waist or flatter tummy...i hv no waist whatsoever and my tummy is not flat 😩😩 i am up and down straight. But belts sometimes create a huge fupa😩 i may not techinally be plus size cause im a 12/14 but im very short lol so thanks for these tips.
I FEEL WHAT U MEAN WHEN IT CIMES TO PLUSSIZE MODELS NO FUPA EVERYBODY AINT TOP HEAVY WITH NO TUMMY OR TOP WITH FUPA. THERE'S 36B CUPS PLUSSIZE WITH A FUPA WE NEED MODELS IN ALL SHAPES/SIZES. 🙈🤗
Love your site and your honesty. Most important for all of of is really to start loving ourselves. I’m from Denmark. I’ve been overweight since the age of three. I need to find the courage to have tight, beautiful dresses on, just like the multicoloured dress. Love love love♥️💃♥️♥️♥️♥️💃🤩♥️💃💃♥️
This is so helpful! I gained over 50 lbs during the quarantine and I found myself trying so hard to rock the clothes that fit before. Needless to say, I looked a mess everyday for the last four months. I literally made each of these mistakes and had to accept that I have to buy new clothes for new body size. Tbh, I am torn because I plan to lose all the "panoramic" weight and I don't want to have baggy clothes in my closet. But I can't keep looking a mess while I wait to for my goal weight. Perfect video!
I would focus on buying basics, the items you wear the most for me that's jeans and a blazer , so I'd buy 2 pairs of jeans and two blazers etc Hope this helps
I agree! Please don't ever let your weight keep you from doing something you want to do. I have done that and I regret it. I'll never do it again. What other people think about you doesn't matter. What you think of yourself matters. Think positive about yourself. You most certainly deserve it.
The last tip. It may sound silly but I always liked my fits more when I tucked my top into my bottoms but I said I'd only wear it like that when I was a certain weight because my gut can't be out like that. I just did it one day despite my insecurities and I ain't mad at myself lol 💚
Oh my goodness you are finally making me comfortable in my own body. After I had my last baby I am the heaviest I've ever been and I've tried so hard to lose weight. I've hated my body. There was one picture in particular that someone took of me and I just looked so big and it disgusted me. But then I found you here on TH-cam! I don't think you know how much you changed my view of myself. You are finally giving me confidence again. I can't thank you enough!
I've been *searching* for content about dressing for my body shape - thank you so much, and this came right on time! I'm a mid-sized girl (US 12) with a full bust and narrow hips, and it has been so difficult to find folks online who have that same shape. It seems like most plus models are pear-shaped, and the straight-sized models are stick thin. Trying to picture how certain styles will look on me is a real challenge, but your examples were so spot-on!
If you have narrow hips, A-line skirts and dresses are your best friends! If you're more into pants, try combining them with peplum tops. You could also try high waisted pants that are ment to be a little looser around the hips. Maybe like these paperbag summer trousers or so. Basically anything that flares out at the bottom.. 👌 Oh and it might seem counter-intuitive but try something with ruffle sleeves. I mean the ones that are basically a half circle sewn on in a ruffle as some kind of large cap sleeve. I don't know the English name. It does add width to your shoulders, but it looks intentional and feminine. You can't really see the broad shoulders underneath it. I feel like it works for me at least 🤷 Shein has a lot of peplum tops and ruffle sleeves. At least the plus size section is loaded with peplum things. If you're midsize, just look at the measurements on the website and order a 0XL and/or go for something with a belt. So top 2 outfits: -Flared ruffle sleeve crop top with high waisted A-line skirt - peplum top (with ruffle sleeves and belt to cinge the waist while still being able to fit your boobs into the it) and skinny jeans Maybe this helps :)
Your body shape is very similar to mine (I’m 46-40-48). I would never have picked a dress like that shirred pink body con dress for myself, but dang. You looked amazing in that dress!
Sis, you’re a Godsend. Ive been shopping to update my wardrobe. Ive gained 40lbs, and the shopping has been a horrible experience and truth be told my insecurities have grown. But nowwwwww.. Ive gained more confidence in my ability to look good by just listening to your tips.
I have seen more than one or two or three Plus size fashion beauty TH-camrs showing clothing within hauls or whatever that are too small. The question isn't can I get it on my body, the question is do the garments skim the body and don't emphasize every lump bump and dimple? I am surprised when I see this, because some of these folks are supposedly making bank on legit fashion deals or at least have large YT audiences and they look like they have no idea how to find clothes that actually fit. Thank you for telling the truth and helping us fluffy girls look good no matter what are aesthetic/style beyond fashion might be!
3 babies in 4 years, I kept waiting to buy myself new clothes/cute clothes until I dropped the baby weight. Struggles with my body image and still sometimes don’t want to leave my house :/ but I’m so happy I found out where to shop “plus size” and style myself and my new body and I’m feeling so much better about myself. So happy I found you!
I literally just ran across your channel - I don't know which part of you I love best - you're attitude, your personality, your looks etc. You just exude confidence and positivity - very rarely seen in our plus size community. I'm 57 and have just "given up" on dressing myself and stick with the flowy and knit type outfits, which, although is SUPER comfy is not necessarily flaterring. THANK YOU for your post - I'm definitely subscribing!
Thank you sis for this truth on how not to let your size stop you from going or doing what you want..as I sat down to watch your video I was struggling with my weight and thinking of canceling our Jamaica vacation because of how big I look. But listening to you gave me the confidence to go have fun and do me. This video came at the right time for me and I appreciate you for making me see the truth!
Wish u would talk about makeup! Never did know about applying make up, church girl- still am, but some people look very neat when it's not overdone. Still can't imagine putting on foundation. When I tried before, it made me itch so, I was clawing at my face! Had an allergic reaction. For 3 or 4 months after applying this, I had the Biggest bumps on my face, never wore make up again- scared to try!
Thank you! I can't wait to check out some of your linked videos. I am with you concerning sleeveless clothing. As a plus-size woman myself, I started wearing sleeveless clothing and I love it!
Hi! As soon as you said, "Welcome to the family!", I subscribed! I'm a plus sized girl who's down three sizes since October. I really appreciate your tips.
You're views are on point ! The trends these days are now gearing towards ones own style verses copying another (a long way from when I was younger). I love how you pointed out that its okay to wear a baggy dress but its also okay to wear a fitted one.
Thank you! You convinced me to move that lovely fitted wrap dress from my saved to my cart and bought for my 20th anniversary beach trip! I am about an 8/10, but gained a few pounds and was feeling kinda crappy about it. You made me realize that I need to flaunt my positives!
Love that you discussed the importance of foundation and especially wearing the correct size and fit bra! The correct fitting bra is comfortable to wear, no moaning about underwires, etc. The correct fitting bra changes the fit of all your clothes for the better!
I appreciate the permission to do things when you want & stop waiting..it's crazy how easy it is to forget about the fact you can do anything regardless of how you feel you look. Thank you! That right there gained you another subscriber! ❤
You’re right. Our girls should be taught and taken to get fitted for a bra. I took my oldest niece to get fitted for a bra at Victoria’s Secrets while she was visiting me for the summer. On another note, control top undergarments make a HUGE difference in appearance. I love them!
LOVE THIS! The only thing I disagree with because I’m a person who believes in giving, is you saying, “throw the clothes away” 😬 Please tell them to take them to the thrift store. My plus size friends who loves thrifting complain about not finding too many outfits that fits. Love your show young sis ❤
Yes. Foundation. I’m old school and was raised to never leave the house without a girdle. Now, I’m old and been menopausal for 20 years, so I now refrain from anything even slightly constricting.
yaasss!!! you are so right, I am a certified fitter.. I have seen women wearing size 36 C when I finish they need a 40DD in full figure. Once I have fitted them I have gotten so many huggs and appreciated thank you.. TOTAL LIFE CHANGE!!!!. I have fitted so many bras that it got to the point that I would look at a women and tell her the exact fit... over 11 yrs of fitting. There is nothing like a good fitting support bra and yes B & C cup ladies you need a good support bra, it helps your back and posture... GURL!!! you are on this topic and thats on PERIOD....
Love your mentality and your energy. I really want to help my mom be a confident queen because she's always saying how frumpy she feels in her current clothes, and how she's waiting to lose weight before buying clothes. MA YOU DESERVE TO BE CONFIDENT NOW!
I SO NEEDED THIS!!! Thank you!! New subscriber!! ❤ I had three kids in 2 years lol so things are definitely different over here lol. I really need to stop waiting to feel pretty or constantly comparing my body know to my body then. I'm a type 1 diabetic that had 3 whole babies when they said I couldn't. Booty and hips is a badge of honor lol!!!
I've gained a lot of weight over the last few years and wore clothes my cousin gave me, and yet, a lot of things were getting tight on me. I am currently with very few clothes that fit me. As I haven't bought new clothes for years, I totally lost track of my body, I didn't know which number I was wearing anymore and spent many hours looking for and trying on clothes. My bras were killing me! But I finally found a size that fit me better (I even think it could be a bigger size, but the store didn't have it)
Giiiiirl!!!! I'm only 4 minutes in and I LIKED and subscribed to your channel!!! LOVE this video!! Thank you for this! I'm a size 14...okay really 16 but refuse to accept it. Lol I have never been bigger than a size 12 so idk how to dress with this size so this video is awesome!!! AND YES VIDEO FOR BODY TYPES!!!! I totally NEED this!!!
I just found this video in my recommendations, I've never been so excited about clothes and fashion trends. Literally, this was an amazing video. Thanks
Love your candid advice of "stop waiting to be a certain size" to express ones fashion creativity...Powerful!! Any do's & don'ts for women over 57 pear shape? I have never been trendy, but my creative style that I feel powerful in..is Fashion trends from the 1950's-1970's...i.e. pencil skirts pumps, pearls, casual business attire...
OMG! I used the body shape calculator and it said I was a Spoon shape this whole time I thought I was leaning towards an apple shape. It listed different clothing that works for spoon size and realized those clothes do look good on me. Thanks again for this !!!
Bless you for your positive body image message! It is so badly needed these days. You are absolutely right about foundation garments being the key to everything. Just look to fashion history to see this is something that has always been true. Hello Victorian corsets. Our grandmothers knew it. We need to get in tune with it too.
I obviously have problems finding clothes I'm comfortable in at my weight, that's why I'm watching this video, which I appreciate someone aknowledgeing this, but I gotta say your little talk about not waiting at the end there made me cry, hard! I am not one of those people who " love themselves" not body positive or anything close to it, I admire woman who find a way to accept them selves and love them selves at any weight! I've been 110lbs and 250 as an adult, and I hated myself and thought I was fat at all sizes, I'm actively trying to be more like you, to accept myself and just live peacefully with myself, don't know if I'll ever get there but your video was lovely and really spoke to me😂 thank you!
Just ran into your channel today ugh I think God literally sent you to me you’re exactly what I needed I have been scouring the internet and all over Pinterest looking for fashionable flattering plus size fashion and you just gave me everything I needed in this video I’m so excited now I’ve been adding things to my carts here and there the past few days I’m about to re do everything thanks for the inspiration you’re literally amazing!!!
Yes, do an update on flattering silhouettes for each body type! Side note: you look amazing, and I just bought a hot pink version of the jacket you're wearing! ❤
That lip color looks terrific on you! Thanks for the tips, dressing a plus sized figure is a challenge and your tips have helped me make better choices when buying clothes. I have had problems especially with jeans and pants fitting. I have learned to do my own alterations so I buy my bottoms to fit my larger areas of hips and buttocks, and alter the clothing to fit my waist. What a difference!!
Lady!!! Such a great message. Size 6 or 26 do you! Love that you mentioned foundations! My #1 pet peeve is seeing Simone wearing a great dress with underwear that destroy the line. I have this convo with GROWN women who think that is the way they are supposed to look. #leaveyourlittlesisterspantiesalone #anygreatbuildinghasasolidFOUNDATION
This is the first video of yours ive watched, and honest to god it made me cry, i have always had insecurities with my body, and during covid i have almost doubled in size, your tips are amazing and your positivity at the end had me bawling with happiness that i can do this
Your vid was spot on💎! I feel like the more us women (or guys too) accept that our body will and can change during the years we can feel comfortable in our current body size. It may take some soul searching 🧘🏾♀️❤🙏🏽 but once you're over that you can enjoy shopping for great finds at your present shape. That old shape is in the past...let it go! And the clothes! Even if your goal is to get rid of weight don't be so hard on yourself. Once you get to your ideal size let the reward be to buy new fashion! 😎🥰😀
You're the first style person who has my body type. Most people have very different builds from me and I have about six things going on that don't 100% fit a specific mold other than knowing that I look like a tent when I wear sheet dresses and loose shirts.
The bra thing is the truth. A few years ago I started going to a specialty bra store. I pay more money for them now but what a world of difference it has made.
@@MsBluekittykat The bra store I usually go to is local to me. But you can try HerRoom.com They have a ton of bras in lots of sizes and different brands. There is also a chat feature I believe so you can ask questions and get suggestions as you browse. I recently bought several bras by a brand called elomi. Very happy with my purchase.
Ditto to my sis Elomi makes great bras for fuller busts my virtual fitting was with them! If you have a fuller bust a properly fitted bra is game changing!
I adore this look oml, the hair and the shirt and the jacket, it’s STUNNING! And I love you specifying that there’s nothing wrong with wearing “unflattering” pieces, just avoid filling your whole wardrobe with them and bear it in mind when you get ready…it’s great advice! Love this vid, some great tips 💛 I’m always fascinated by how different we can look based on how we style ourselves
I’m very HAPPY you did this video on how dress yourself starting from underneath your clothes first I’ve worked in the medical field and seen women ware some bad stuff like I can tell what kids of underwear and bra they have on because they don’t have the correct fit
I needed this! I am guilty of waiting until I lose weight to get new clothes that I really want to wear after having my baby boy. Bump that, I'm not waiting any more. Thanks for posting! BTW, you are so pretty, and that yellow is gorgeous on you!
All I can say is THANK YOU! I needed to hear everything you said. I am a very strong, self confident woman but I still worry about my stomach! I will take your advice and be free indeed!!!
I buy what I like and if I don't like the why it fit or it doesn't give the look I was going for. I either return/exchange or give it away. I truly believe in wearing the right foundation especially if it's fitted. Anybody that see me know I have a belly, rolls & cellulite but I don't want everyone to see it🙅🏾♀️. TFS💕
OH. EM. GEE!! can not tell you how the simplest thing has changed everything! Thank you for sharing the body shape calculator. Now I know why so many things I bought just looked terrible on me. Have just had a massive clear out. Thank you 🙏
girl finding your personal style is a process and honestly, that's the fun part style is always evolving so embrace it and have fun. Im always here if you need any quick pointer xx
I've just come across your page on TH-cam and what a blessing. I have put on weight the last few years and I hate it, but you have given me courage to accept my body the way it is. Thanks heaps
I remember being younger and not wanting to go to school due to lack of having clothes. My mom had gained a lot of weight after having my brother some 6yrs prior. She was used to having an amazing body/shape. She would go out and buy tons of clothes that were in my size (3/4) at the time while she was at least 12 sizes bigger (16/18) talking about those clothes were for when she lost the weight. All the while my straight A’s I was getting in school were turning to D’s and F’s because I was to embarrassed to go to school wearing the same outfits every other day. I started going into the tons of containers she had the clothes stored in and started wearing them. She found out and flipped out. I’m crying and explaining to her how i have nothing to wear. She could care less, she continued buying the “weight loss” clothes for herself while i still suffered. This happened for a while until I told my family and they got on her and she had no choice but to start making sure that I had the stuff I needed. It still wasn’t enough but it had gotten better.
I’m sorry for you. My mom did things like when I was in school among others things. However, she’s also a narcissist. Not saying it’s the same with your mom.
Yes PLEASE do more of these. My youngest daughter is getting ready to be a teen & I don't think my sanity will survive this "But I wanna wear what everyone else wears" phase. I'm getting to old to raise a teen girl with these current clothing trends.
Haha let me be honest my mom dosnt understand my style and I'm no spring chicken but just as long as she understand the fundamentals of what works for her she's one step ahead! I cant guarantee she'll follow them just yet but when she really needs it she'll use it! I taught HS for 8 yrs all teanagers want to do is fit in with their friends be blessed
You're the best! I Absolutely love, 'Sis!' 'Sis!' You have encouraged me wondefully!! I do where, sometimes bodycon outfits. I always am conscious about how 'invisible' the underlying foundation can be.😉. It is not appropriate to have Every single line of body & underwear viewable underneath clothing. We Must learn to make great conscientious purchases when it comes to our undergarments!!! Those $7.99's don't work Anymore!! Thank you Beautiful for encouraging all of us, even us +60s!!
Plz do share more.i like tht ur encouraging others to not wait , thts good. I did the same thing as u when u said u had an insecurity about ur arms but u got hot and wore a tank top. I'm 50 but everything ur saying I'm doing but so happy tht u made a video about it.woman need encouragement and don't b ashamed tht ur thirty something lol
I love your style and tips FOR ALL SIZES! I sent this video to 10 of my friends of all sizes because we all have the same complaints of ourselves and the same style faults of not stepping out of our comfort zone. A+ XOXO
I am a hijabi and plus size and it's been hard for me to keep things modest and in my comfort zone while being more fashionable and complementing my body better. Thank you so much for these tips!!! Maybe it's time for me to experiment a little lol
I just discovered your videos and I’m SO happy I did! Thank you! I’m learning so much about how to dress my body type. I’m a little older (48) and I’ve put on weight which makes me feel a little depressed but your videos really help to educate me on what I should and shouldn’t wear for my body type. I especially love your edgy style. And I gotta say that Police shirt is awesome! ♥️
That “stop waiting for that goal weight”hit me 😭
girl I totally get creating an incentive but when does it stop being an incentive and start being toxic I just want my people to feel comfortable in the skin they are in even if they are working on it xx
Me too sis😭
Yessss! I love your advice because I haven't bought clothes for awhile now. Yelp waiting to loose those extra pounds. Guess what Sis, I gained even more so I do need help in finding clothes to dress my body now! Who knows when those extra pounds will leave me? I don't!🤣🤣🤣
I recently lost 75lbs, but my arms are flappy from loose skin. So "waiting to loose weight" doesnt solve everything. The insecurity is still there.
I hate showing my arms. Luckily in Toronto (Canada)... we only 68° - 90°F degree weather for 3 months of the year.
During summer months I always wear light windbreakers, white linen shirts or some floral flowy cover ups (i have so many)
Yep, just got fir it
My motto is nobody knows the the number on the tag but we do know when your clothes are too small...
that is such a good motto when its too small we all know !
I say that all the time!!!
Yes, yes
Ooo, chile, lol! I can't believe how many plus-size TH-camrs I see presenting themselves as size 20 when clearly they are a size 26 (or more). I'm like, sis come on now. You not foolin' nobody squeezing into that too small size 20 dress or even worse, pants/jeans! People really need to come correct and stop fronting!
I remember explaining that to my daughter
Please encourage donations of clothing you no longer wear instead of throwing them away one person's trash is another person's treasure.
I donate as much as possible
I love to donate my stuff but I also let friends shop in my closet. We trade a lot 💕
Truth. I am going through and getting rid of my 8s and embracing the 10s, 12s, and the occasional 14 in my closet. IF I ever get back to that 8, I can rebuild my wardrobe and replace. In the meantime let someone else enjoy these things🤗
@@aliveandconnected great idea
Wow I didn't know people threw clothes away like that. I always give my clothes away. Someone else can benefit from it and make it better than what I did.
"Stop waiting until you lose weight!" THANK YOU! I started wearing a two-piece swimsuit a few years ago, stretch marks, extra weight and all! ❤👙
I had 2 kids back to back. My husband is super skinny and never gains weight. He bought me whatever I wanted to eat when pregnant. The weight gain was cute when I was pregnant, but now they’re toddlers. I’m way bigger now. When you said “this is your permission”, I started bawling. Thank you so much for this video. I haven’t bought any new clothes since my baby shower with my first born. I’m going to get new clothes now, and embrace this body I now have. 🤍
Sis you better buy yourself some new clothes lets normalize working with what you currently have even if you are in pursuit of a healthier you!!!!
Same here I had two kids back to back I went from a size 6 :( to a size 16 I'm down to a size 12 and my husband of course is skinny and super fit.( We used to workout together) I feel like a bag of potatoes don't like going out bc I'm constantly shying away bc of my weight. Thanks for this push I will start wearing whatever I want and feel confident in.
❤🙏🏽
Wow it's like you lived my life. Super skinny husband. Gained weight during pregnancy. Had back to back pregnancies and gained more weight. Now I'm scared to buy new clothes. I live in leggings and oversized t shirts.
I have a 7 year old and 2 ywar old and a 8 week old. I was a nice 130 ibs and i am now a nice 200
I was married for a total of 26 years. During that time, I was only allowed to wear drab, baggy clothes.
Now, I'm divorced and completely confused about what to wear. Thank you, you answered questions I was afraid to ask.
Oh no, sorry about that, now it's your time, it's never too late
@@nolithamtimkulu473, thank you so much. :)
Take charge! Let NOBODY tell you what you should do or wear to be “right”. Take your time to find out who you are, and what you want in your life. You deserve it! All my very best wishes goes your way, Michelle 😍
Congrats on moving on from that controlling nonsense. Hope you fill your closet with awesome, flattering clothing.
Wellcome to the new life. Enjoy 😊🥳❤️
“Stop wearing super tight clothes “. YES find your size ! That has been a game changer . I had 3 kids back to back . And my body has changed sooooo much . I had to find my right size and find clothes for my new body . Wearing my correct size has boosted SO much confidence!
Better than tossing out, schedule a clothes swap with your friends. My bestie does this at the end of every year. We have so much fun trying on and styling outfits. Really economical too! Clothes, shoes, jewelry, outerwear, etc.
Wow. Thanks for the tip. Sounds fun.
Wow that's such a cool idea!
i need to find more friends lol
Thx that's a good idea, but I don't have friends to swap with.
It’s the Panoramic for me ☺️
the whole parallelogrammmmmm xx
Lol. Yes!
I just said the same thing!! I was too tickled!!😆😆
Panoramic....lol.too cute
I thought I was the ONLY one who heard that, lol 😂
Finally! Someone who’s body looks like mine. I’m over size 2 girls telling me how to style my plus size body! You’re so beautiful and stylish, thank you for making these videos.
Yesss. I am not waiting for the goal weight. I just went and got larger shirts and my mom called while I was out at the store. She said you shouldn’t buy more clothes just wait until you lose weight. Sooooo I am supposed to walk around with my stomach hanging out the bottom of my shirt, blouses tight over my breast all in the name of punishing myself? So mom you’re saying I should look sloppy and unpresentable because of ill fitting clothes? So that I will feel worse about myself. Um no ma’am. What were NOT going to do is be toxic to ourselves and abuse ourselves.
Love to wear new stuff, but classics are the best cause they never go out of style.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 I received that message!
My secret to up and down weight is to rock a dress. If it's too big I belt. If I gain a little weight I rock a sweater over it. I also will wear a control bottom that is calf length. And most of my clothes are 3 season proof as much as possible 💕
@@aliveandconnected great tip sis yass dresses are great for that especially if they have a lill stretch to them
@@indriadrayton1132 Classic are def the goat sprinkle in an off the moment color or a trendy accessory and viola !
🤦🏽♀️if I throw out everything that's either too big or too small, I'll have socks and shoes left🤣🤣🤣
haha you can keep the stuff thats too big you just gotta get creative with layers belts and accessories or better yet get them tailored to fit xx
I am sorry but this is too funny!! 😂😂😂
My problem too
🤣🤣🤣🤣
💯🤣😂
I won’t even have socks left, those things disappear
Yes... please do an update on body types and flattering clothes.
Will definately do is there anything specific you would like for me to cover ?
@@SuppleChicTV Pairing flattering tops with a heavier midsection with non-skinny jeans?
Agreed! Flattering silhouettes for people with a midsection. Dresses, skirts, etc for spring/summer style

for the longest time I never wore shorts outside. I have had enough. I am wearing booty shorts all summer long and errbody gonna have to deal with these jiggly thunder thighs!
Good for you Sarah!
I needed to hear your words and I'm almost 60 years old. Thank you.
I appreciate your comment. I feel the same way.
you are welcome boo so glad this video resonated!!!
Me too
I’m 57 Alma, we are still young! Enjoy your beauty❤️
Hey ladies!! 58 here and I need this channel lol.😊
One of the CLASSIEST TUTORIALS I've ever seen. You are so real and engaging. Thank you!
You had me at Rule #1! I have been a firm believer regarding proper bra fittings for YEARS! Just before my daughter started high school we both got properly sized and it. Was. Life-changing.
This has been helpful to boosting my confidence. I wear mostly baggy clothes and I wear them until they wear out. I hate shopping because it always makes me feel terrible about myself. Often times when I'm around other people, I'm thinking "I'm so sorry you have to see me" when I'm having conversations. This has helped me gain a bit of confidence to go out and look for the things I want to wear. I'm in art school, I don't think they're gonna mind me having fun with my appearance.
I just found your channel and I absolutely adore you! You hands down body everything you put on and are a prime example that you don’t have to be a size 2 to be fashionable. I’m not plus size but I truly appreciate your platform. Now back to binge watching your videos 🤗
Natalie you are too kind Ive always believed this we make great style about style but it isn't! Women like you are vital to our community you are welcome here xx
A lot of people are a cup size larger than they realize. This makes a huge difference, no back bulge, no pain under the armpits, no double boob, I also felt more conservative because I knew I was covered. I'm only a C, but it made such a positive difference. I can only imagine what it would do for larger cups.
I NEEDED to hear this!! "Stop waiting until you lose weight"! I avoid wearing shorts because my legs aren't what they used to be.
I love this channel and the skill this woman has for creating it. I grew up amidst a Kate Moss body-type family. I was quite slim until I had two kids and then gained some weight, which I do not mind. But one of the most important things we need to learn as women is how our bodies are designed uniquely and what fabrics and tailoring are est for us. I was fortunate that my grandmother had been a tailor for Chanel for many years and had her own clients. She had me assist her with clients a few times and the process was so amazing. She would have women come in flats and high heels, walk about naturally, sit on different chairs and get an idea of how their bodies actually worked. The dresses they wanted weren't always what was best for them and she would teach them about their fabrics, structuring and stitching and so many thing I never thought of. My older sister told me I have a high waist, which makes me feel great in pencil skirts, which she could never wear. But just knowing your body type and how to work with it, and never against it, creates such stunning women in every size and shape. My daughter has my family's body type but my niece has more curves like me and she is so abundantly happy and confident that it triples her beauty. Plus she knows what clothing works best for her and that is one of life's most important things for girls to know and embrace.
I'm actually 48 and never had a bra fitting.. was always a bit embarrassed to ask for the help. Love the positive reinforcement in this video.. we have to get past this stuff!
next time just remember you're a woman, who wears bras, they need to fit. there is no embarrassment in that
This TH-camr is the sis/auntie we all need. My mother never taught me how to do any of this!! This woman has made me feel more confident the first vudeo I watched! Thank you!
Truer words have never been spoken. I am top heavy and have had bra fittings since middle school (I am 40 now). I am legit passionate about this. I took all my favorite girlfriends to my favorite boutique and got them all fitted for bras. You’d be shocked your REAL size and it makes a huge difference in your look. It elongates the body, and slenderizes. Do yourself the favor.
And talk about hair! When I had Cancer, my long hair came out. At one point it was below my mid back, so of course a self body- image problem! Once I decided to take control, I had a cutting party, things turned around! Though I still haven't tried the tight braids, looks beautiful, but people complain about the pain! They use to say, No pain, No gain, but I'm all about comfort! I embrace my naturally curly hair. Don't have to take hours washing, drying, straightening, I feel So free! ..Wouldn't mind knowing some styles to put it in. The decision to let it grow back or continue to keep it short- Short seems to be winning, been 3 years! And wigs, tried that, makes my head hot, don't know how people stand it! Anyway, discuss fro styles please. ♥️👍
"Rock the body you have PROUDLY." How have I been on the planet 31 years and never heard this? Thank you, thank you, thank you for your content- your words lifted me out of a major body rut today!!!
Thank you sis. It’s not just about being plus size but the shape. Cause a lot of times with plus size models it’s the hourglass model that preferred. It’s good to see someone that really does look like me (and I’ll not referring to skin color).
A lot of plus size fashion is using models who still have thin waist or flatter tummy...i hv no waist whatsoever and my tummy is not flat 😩😩 i am up and down straight. But belts sometimes create a huge fupa😩 i may not techinally be plus size cause im a 12/14 but im very short lol so thanks for these tips.
I FEEL WHAT U MEAN WHEN IT CIMES TO PLUSSIZE MODELS NO FUPA EVERYBODY AINT TOP HEAVY WITH NO TUMMY OR TOP WITH FUPA. THERE'S 36B CUPS PLUSSIZE WITH A FUPA WE NEED MODELS IN ALL SHAPES/SIZES. 🙈🤗
Love your site and your honesty. Most important for all of of is really to start loving ourselves.
I’m from Denmark. I’ve been overweight since the age of three. I need to find the courage to have tight, beautiful dresses on, just like the multicoloured dress.
Love love love♥️💃♥️♥️♥️♥️💃🤩♥️💃💃♥️
This is so helpful! I gained over 50 lbs during the quarantine and I found myself trying so hard to rock the clothes that fit before. Needless to say, I looked a mess everyday for the last four months. I literally made each of these mistakes and had to accept that I have to buy new clothes for new body size. Tbh, I am torn because I plan to lose all the "panoramic" weight and I don't want to have baggy clothes in my closet. But I can't keep looking a mess while I wait to for my goal weight. Perfect video!
I would focus on buying basics, the items you wear the most for me that's jeans and a blazer , so I'd buy 2 pairs of jeans and two blazers etc Hope this helps
I agree! Please don't ever let your weight keep you from doing something you want to do. I have done that and I regret it. I'll never do it again. What other people think about you doesn't matter. What you think of yourself matters. Think positive about yourself. You most certainly deserve it.
The last tip. It may sound silly but I always liked my fits more when I tucked my top into my bottoms but I said I'd only wear it like that when I was a certain weight because my gut can't be out like that. I just did it one day despite my insecurities and I ain't mad at myself lol 💚
Oh my goodness you are finally making me comfortable in my own body. After I had my last baby I am the heaviest I've ever been and I've tried so hard to lose weight. I've hated my body. There was one picture in particular that someone took of me and I just looked so big and it disgusted me. But then I found you here on TH-cam! I don't think you know how much you changed my view of myself. You are finally giving me confidence again. I can't thank you enough!
I've been *searching* for content about dressing for my body shape - thank you so much, and this came right on time! I'm a mid-sized girl (US 12) with a full bust and narrow hips, and it has been so difficult to find folks online who have that same shape. It seems like most plus models are pear-shaped, and the straight-sized models are stick thin. Trying to picture how certain styles will look on me is a real challenge, but your examples were so spot-on!
If you have narrow hips, A-line skirts and dresses are your best friends!
If you're more into pants, try combining them with peplum tops.
You could also try high waisted pants that are ment to be a little looser around the hips. Maybe like these paperbag summer trousers or so.
Basically anything that flares out at the bottom.. 👌
Oh and it might seem counter-intuitive but try something with ruffle sleeves. I mean the ones that are basically a half circle sewn on in a ruffle as some kind of large cap sleeve. I don't know the English name. It does add width to your shoulders, but it looks intentional and feminine. You can't really see the broad shoulders underneath it.
I feel like it works for me at least 🤷
Shein has a lot of peplum tops and ruffle sleeves. At least the plus size section is loaded with peplum things. If you're midsize, just look at the measurements on the website and order a 0XL and/or go for something with a belt.
So top 2 outfits:
-Flared ruffle sleeve crop top with high waisted A-line skirt
- peplum top (with ruffle sleeves and belt to cinge the waist while still being able to fit your boobs into the it) and skinny jeans
Maybe this helps :)
Your body shape is very similar to mine (I’m 46-40-48). I would never have picked a dress like that shirred pink body con dress for myself, but dang. You looked amazing in that dress!
it was the color for but also the style just worked xx
Sis, you’re a Godsend. Ive been shopping to update my wardrobe. Ive gained 40lbs, and the shopping has been a horrible experience and truth be told my insecurities have grown. But nowwwwww.. Ive gained more confidence in my ability to look good by just listening to your tips.
This made me feel warm and happier inside, thank you! I'm a plus size 5"11 girl..at 18. Im constantly feeling insecure but I feel good seeing this :)
OMG snap im size 16 uk and 5ft 10!
Its the energy for me. Subscribed at 59 seconds. And I have no clue how I got here 😂
I have seen more than one or two or three Plus size fashion beauty TH-camrs showing clothing within hauls or whatever that are too small. The question isn't can I get it on my body, the question is do the garments skim the body and don't emphasize every lump bump and dimple? I am surprised when I see this, because some of these folks are supposedly making bank on legit fashion deals or at least have large YT audiences and they look like they have no idea how to find clothes that actually fit. Thank you for telling the truth and helping us fluffy girls look good no matter what are aesthetic/style beyond fashion might be!
Thats what I do.I wear shorts,sundresses and tank tops I don't care how big I am.I ain't burning up for no one in the summer.
Love that, I had to learn to have this outlook.
I know dats right ❤🙌🏾
it took me a while to be comfortable enough but now I'm a strong believer that everyone should mind the business that pays them!
@@fakeidonthaveahandle SAME!
Yes!! 😂
3 babies in 4 years, I kept waiting to buy myself new clothes/cute clothes until I dropped the baby weight. Struggles with my body image and still sometimes don’t want to leave my house :/ but I’m so happy I found out where to shop “plus size” and style myself and my new body and I’m feeling so much better about myself. So happy I found you!
I literally just ran across your channel - I don't know which part of you I love best - you're attitude, your personality, your looks etc. You just exude confidence and positivity - very rarely seen in our plus size community. I'm 57 and have just "given up" on dressing myself and stick with the flowy and knit type outfits, which, although is SUPER comfy is not necessarily flaterring. THANK YOU for your post - I'm definitely subscribing!
Thank you so much!! and WELCOME TO THE FAMILY glad youre here xx
Thank you sis for this truth on how not to let your size stop you from going or doing what you want..as I sat down to watch your video I was struggling with my weight and thinking of canceling our Jamaica vacation because of how big I look. But listening to you gave me the confidence to go have fun and do me. This video came at the right time for me and I appreciate you for making me see the truth!
I’m not even plus size and I follow your tips. They are classic and applicable to all. Thanks for giving me confidence to try new looks👍🏼
You're welcome boo! So glad to hear you'll be trying new looks xx
Wish u would talk about makeup! Never did know about applying make up, church girl- still am, but some people look very neat when it's not overdone. Still can't imagine putting on foundation. When I tried before, it made me itch so, I was clawing at my face! Had an allergic reaction. For 3 or 4 months after applying this, I had the Biggest bumps on my face, never wore make up again- scared to try!
Thank you! I can't wait to check out some of your linked videos. I am with you concerning sleeveless clothing. As a plus-size woman myself, I started wearing sleeveless clothing and I love it!
I’m trying to get out of the baggy clothes phase sis thank you for telling me what it is. I feel like you was talking directly to me.
Hi! As soon as you said, "Welcome to the family!", I subscribed! I'm a plus sized girl who's down three sizes since October. I really appreciate your tips.
You're views are on point !
The trends these days are now gearing towards ones own style verses copying another (a long way from when I was younger). I love how you pointed out that its okay to wear a baggy dress but its also okay to wear a fitted one.
Thank you! You convinced me to move that lovely fitted wrap dress from my saved to my cart and bought for my 20th anniversary beach trip! I am about an 8/10, but gained a few pounds and was feeling kinda crappy about it. You made me realize that I need to flaunt my positives!
Love that you discussed the importance of foundation and especially wearing the correct size and fit bra! The correct fitting bra is comfortable to wear, no moaning about underwires, etc. The correct fitting bra changes the fit of all your clothes for the better!
I appreciate the permission to do things when you want & stop waiting..it's crazy how easy it is to forget about the fact you can do anything regardless of how you feel you look. Thank you! That right there gained you another subscriber! ❤
You’re right. Our girls should be taught and taken to get fitted for a bra. I took my oldest niece to get fitted for a bra at Victoria’s Secrets while she was visiting me for the summer. On another note, control top undergarments make a HUGE difference in appearance. I love them!
I won't wait!!! I wore my white combat boots with the fake fur, and I rocked them!!!!
LOVE THIS! The only thing I disagree with because I’m a person who believes in giving, is you saying, “throw the clothes away” 😬 Please tell them to take them to the thrift store. My plus size friends who loves thrifting complain about not finding too many outfits that fits. Love your show young sis ❤
Yes. Foundation. I’m old school and was raised to never leave the house without a girdle. Now, I’m old and been menopausal for 20 years, so I now refrain from anything even slightly constricting.
yaasss!!! you are so right, I am a certified fitter.. I have seen women wearing size 36 C when I finish they need a 40DD in full figure. Once I have fitted them I have gotten so many huggs and appreciated thank you.. TOTAL LIFE CHANGE!!!!. I have fitted so many bras that it got to the point that I would look at a women and tell her the exact fit... over 11 yrs of fitting.
There is nothing like a good fitting support bra and yes B & C cup ladies you need a good support bra, it helps your back and posture...
GURL!!! you are on this topic and thats on PERIOD....
Sssiiiss! That pink body con dress though!!! Yes gawd!!! 😍😍😍😍
boo, its old but ill be on the lookout for something similar!
@@SuppleChicTV It may be old, but you look amazing in it!
Love your mentality and your energy. I really want to help my mom be a confident queen because she's always saying how frumpy she feels in her current clothes, and how she's waiting to lose weight before buying clothes. MA YOU DESERVE TO BE CONFIDENT NOW!
I SO NEEDED THIS!!! Thank you!! New subscriber!! ❤
I had three kids in 2 years lol so things are definitely different over here lol. I really need to stop waiting to feel pretty or constantly comparing my body know to my body then. I'm a type 1 diabetic that had 3 whole babies when they said I couldn't. Booty and hips is a badge of honor lol!!!
I've gained a lot of weight over the last few years and wore clothes my cousin gave me, and yet, a lot of things were getting tight on me. I am currently with very few clothes that fit me. As I haven't bought new clothes for years, I totally lost track of my body, I didn't know which number I was wearing anymore and spent many hours looking for and trying on clothes. My bras were killing me! But I finally found a size that fit me better (I even think it could be a bigger size, but the store didn't have it)
Giiiiirl!!!! I'm only 4 minutes in and I LIKED and subscribed to your channel!!! LOVE this video!! Thank you for this! I'm a size 14...okay really 16 but refuse to accept it. Lol I have never been bigger than a size 12 so idk how to dress with this size so this video is awesome!!! AND YES VIDEO FOR BODY TYPES!!!! I totally NEED this!!!
This is totally me. Used to be a 12, refused to accept I’m not a 14 and a little 16 😂😂😂😂
That black jumper is so cute!!
thanks sis! its actually a two piece shorts and tank xx
I just found this video in my recommendations, I've never been so excited about clothes and fashion trends. Literally, this was an amazing video. Thanks
Love your candid advice of "stop waiting to be a certain size" to express ones fashion creativity...Powerful!! Any do's & don'ts for women over 57 pear shape? I have never been trendy, but my creative style that I feel powerful in..is Fashion trends from the 1950's-1970's...i.e. pencil skirts pumps, pearls, casual business attire...
OMG! I used the body shape calculator and it said I was a Spoon shape this whole time I thought I was leaning towards an apple shape. It listed different clothing that works for spoon size and realized those clothes do look good on me. Thanks again for this !!!
Your welcome sis so glad it resonated this is what I love to see xx
Choose clothes that accentuate your accents!! Oh em gee 😍 I am so glad TH-cam placed you on my home screen. New subscriber here!
Bless you for your positive body image message! It is so badly needed these days. You are absolutely right about foundation garments being the key to everything. Just look to fashion history to see this is something that has always been true. Hello Victorian corsets. Our grandmothers knew it. We need to get in tune with it too.
I obviously have problems finding clothes I'm comfortable in at my weight, that's why I'm watching this video, which I appreciate someone aknowledgeing this, but I gotta say your little talk about not waiting at the end there made me cry, hard! I am not one of those people who " love themselves" not body positive or anything close to it, I admire woman who find a way to accept them selves and love them selves at any weight! I've been 110lbs and 250 as an adult, and I hated myself and thought I was fat at all sizes, I'm actively trying to be more like you, to accept myself and just live peacefully with myself, don't know if I'll ever get there but your video was lovely and really spoke to me😂 thank you!
Great advice!!! I'm almost 50 and at this point in my life I'm living my best life!!!
Just ran into your channel today ugh I think God literally sent you to me you’re exactly what I needed I have been scouring the internet and all over Pinterest looking for fashionable flattering plus size fashion and you just gave me everything I needed in this video I’m so excited now I’ve been adding things to my carts here and there the past few days I’m about to re do everything thanks for the inspiration you’re literally amazing!!!
Yes, do an update on flattering silhouettes for each body type! Side note: you look amazing, and I just bought a hot pink version of the jacket you're wearing! ❤
aww thanks sis Love hot pink for this season did your jacket come from eloquii as well?
@@SuppleChicTV Yes it did, as well as several dresses and blouses, lol! ☺
That lip color looks terrific on you! Thanks for the tips, dressing a plus sized figure is a challenge and your tips have helped me make better choices when buying clothes. I have had problems especially with jeans and pants fitting. I have learned to do my own alterations so I buy my bottoms to fit my larger areas of hips and buttocks, and alter the clothing to fit my waist. What a difference!!
Lady!!! Such a great message. Size 6 or 26 do you! Love that you mentioned foundations! My #1 pet peeve is seeing Simone wearing a great dress with underwear that destroy the line. I have this convo with GROWN women who think that is the way they are supposed to look. #leaveyourlittlesisterspantiesalone #anygreatbuildinghasasolidFOUNDATION
I'm with you there Sis! And yes grown women need to stop wearing thongs with light/white pants and shorts as well... doing this is just not classy😵
This is the first video of yours ive watched, and honest to god it made me cry, i have always had insecurities with my body, and during covid i have almost doubled in size, your tips are amazing and your positivity at the end had me bawling with happiness that i can do this
Your vid was spot on💎! I feel like the more us women (or guys too) accept that our body will and can change during the years we can feel comfortable in our current body size. It may take some soul searching 🧘🏾♀️❤🙏🏽 but once you're over that you can enjoy shopping for great finds at your present shape. That old shape is in the past...let it go! And the clothes! Even if your goal is to get rid of weight don't be so hard on yourself. Once you get to your ideal size let the reward be to buy new fashion! 😎🥰😀
girl you hit the nail right on the head. I do think it takes changing your mindset once you do its sooo freeing!
You're the first style person who has my body type. Most people have very different builds from me and I have about six things going on that don't 100% fit a specific mold other than knowing that I look like a tent when I wear sheet dresses and loose shirts.
Well then Im glad to made it here and yes more structured styles look better on us xx
The bra thing is the truth. A few years ago I started going to a specialty bra store. I pay more money for them now but what a world of difference it has made.
Name the store please need better bras
@@MsBluekittykat The bra store I usually go to is local to me. But you can try HerRoom.com They have a ton of bras in lots of sizes and different brands. There is also a chat feature I believe so you can ask questions and get suggestions as you browse. I recently bought several bras by a brand called elomi. Very happy with my purchase.
Ditto to my sis Elomi makes great bras for fuller busts my virtual fitting was with them! If you have a fuller bust a properly fitted bra is game changing!
@@MsBluekittykat I go to Lane Bryant
I adore this look oml, the hair and the shirt and the jacket, it’s STUNNING! And I love you specifying that there’s nothing wrong with wearing “unflattering” pieces, just avoid filling your whole wardrobe with them and bear it in mind when you get ready…it’s great advice! Love this vid, some great tips 💛 I’m always fascinated by how different we can look based on how we style ourselves
“You really don’t wanna look like a sausage” 😂 No I don’t!
Or a can of crushed, busted biscuits 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️😩👏🏽😂🤣
what type of sausage?
I’m very HAPPY you did this video on how dress yourself starting from underneath your clothes first I’ve worked in the medical field and seen women ware some bad stuff like I can tell what kids of underwear and bra they have on because they don’t have the correct fit
I needed this! I am guilty of waiting until I lose weight to get new clothes that I really want to wear after having my baby boy. Bump that, I'm not waiting any more. Thanks for posting! BTW, you are so pretty, and that yellow is gorgeous on you!
All I can say is THANK YOU! I needed to hear everything you said. I am a very strong, self confident woman but I still worry about my stomach! I will take your advice and be free indeed!!!
I buy what I like and if I don't like the why it fit or it doesn't give the look I was going for. I either return/exchange or give it away. I truly believe in wearing the right foundation especially if it's fitted. Anybody that see me know I have a belly, rolls & cellulite but I don't want everyone to see it🙅🏾♀️. TFS💕
OH. EM. GEE!! can not tell you how the simplest thing has changed everything! Thank you for sharing the body shape calculator. Now I know why so many things I bought just looked terrible on me. Have just had a massive clear out. Thank you 🙏
This video really came for me! but i love it! I'm in a stage where I'm trying to find my own style and it's so hard. But these video's really help!
girl finding your personal style is a process and honestly, that's the fun part style is always evolving so embrace it and have fun. Im always here if you need any quick pointer xx
I've just come across your page on TH-cam and what a blessing. I have put on weight the last few years and I hate it, but you have given me courage to accept my body the way it is. Thanks heaps
I remember being younger and not wanting to go to school due to lack of having clothes. My mom had gained a lot of weight after having my brother some 6yrs prior. She was used to having an amazing body/shape. She would go out and buy tons of clothes that were in my size (3/4) at the time while she was at least 12 sizes bigger (16/18) talking about those clothes were for when she lost the weight. All the while my straight A’s I was getting in school were turning to D’s and F’s because I was to embarrassed to go to school wearing the same outfits every other day. I started going into the tons of containers she had the clothes stored in and started wearing them. She found out and flipped out. I’m crying and explaining to her how i have nothing to wear. She could care less, she continued buying the “weight loss” clothes for herself while i still suffered. This happened for a while until I told my family and they got on her and she had no choice but to start making sure that I had the stuff I needed. It still wasn’t enough but it had gotten better.
Lord have mercy. So sorry to hear that. I'm so glad that you're better
body dismophia is a real thing and sometimes its easier for people to not face the truth glad that season of your life is over xx
I can relate. I am wearing clothes that I wore when I was in primary school.
I think we had the same mom! Except it wasn’t because of her losing weight it was just because she wanted clothes. Ugh!
I’m sorry for you. My mom did things like when I was in school among others things. However, she’s also a narcissist. Not saying it’s the same with your mom.
Thanks for the body shape calculator. I thought I was a pear but am really an hourglass shape.
Thanks for this! Please do a body types one... Could you also talk about short-waisted vs proportional types? Maybe flattering flat butts as well lol
Yes PLEASE do more of these. My youngest daughter is getting ready to be a teen & I don't think my sanity will survive this "But I wanna wear what everyone else wears" phase. I'm getting to old to raise a teen girl with these current clothing trends.
Haha let me be honest my mom dosnt understand my style and I'm no spring chicken but just as long as she understand the fundamentals of what works for her she's one step ahead! I cant guarantee she'll follow them just yet but when she really needs it she'll use it! I taught HS for 8 yrs all teanagers want to do is fit in with their friends be blessed
Great video!
I personally stopped wearing skinny jeans last year. Balloon and wide leg are now my go to☺️
You're the best! I Absolutely love, 'Sis!' 'Sis!' You have encouraged me wondefully!! I do where, sometimes bodycon outfits. I always am conscious about how 'invisible' the underlying foundation can be.😉. It is not appropriate to have Every single line of body & underwear viewable underneath clothing. We Must learn to make great conscientious purchases when it comes to our undergarments!!! Those $7.99's don't work Anymore!! Thank you Beautiful for encouraging all of us, even us +60s!!
Please do a video on what is the most flattering for different body talks.
Plz do share more.i like tht ur encouraging others to not wait , thts good. I did the same thing as u when u said u had an insecurity about ur arms but u got hot and wore a tank top. I'm 50 but everything ur saying I'm doing but so happy tht u made a video about it.woman need encouragement and don't b ashamed tht ur thirty something lol
I'm def queen of the baggy sack look.. my husband hates it. Really going to try to listen here..
You and me both!!! I'm going to have to do something about that 😊
I love your style and tips FOR ALL SIZES! I sent this video to 10 of my friends of all sizes because we all have the same complaints of ourselves and the same style faults of not stepping out of our comfort zone. A+ XOXO
I am a hijabi and plus size and it's been hard for me to keep things modest and in my comfort zone while being more fashionable and complementing my body better. Thank you so much for these tips!!! Maybe it's time for me to experiment a little lol
I just discovered your videos and I’m SO happy I did! Thank you! I’m learning so much about how to dress my body type. I’m a little older (48) and I’ve put on weight which makes me feel a little depressed but your videos really help to educate me on what I should and shouldn’t wear for my body type. I especially love your edgy style. And I gotta say that Police shirt is awesome! ♥️
