Fashion Article: Choosing An Outfit For A First Date

He finally asked you to meet for a drink. You’ve already done your happy dance and told your best friend. Now you need to decide what you’re going to wear. This is a huge decision for any woman but for a plus-sized woman it can be especially difficult. We’re already insecure about our bodies, add first-date pressure on top of that and we might decide to stay home in our pjs instead. What’s the perfect outfit to wear for your date?

You want to feel confident: Before you go to the mall, think about what styles you look the best wearing. What colors get you the most compliments? You may want to get your best friend or sister on the phone to help you with this. If you wear an outfit that you know you look great in, that confidence will show. You’ll smile more and he will notice.

You want to be comfortable: If you’re thinking about the fact that your waistband is slicing through your spine, you won’t be focused on him. If you’re worried that your neckline might be cut too low, you’ll be distracted by it. You’ll come across as uncomfortable which he will interpret to mean you’re not having a good time. Men get insecure too: if you’re fidgeting, you appear restless, restless can be interpreted as bored and he’ll blame himself.

You want to dress right: You want to choose an outfit that is appropriate to the place you’re going on your date. If you’re meeting at a local bar or coffee shop, then a cute top with capri pants from Lane Bryant is perfect. If he’s taking you to a nice restaurant, then a little black dress from Jessica London will work.

Note: If you’re unsure, you can check customer reviews of the place online. If the reviewers use words like casual and fun, you know you can dress down. If the reviews all mention being there on a special occasion, dress nicer.

You want to keep the conversation going: Do you have a necklace you bought on a trip? Or a ring your grandmother gave you? Wearing jewelry serves two purposes: it will give you something to subtly play will and it will draw a compliment from him. When he compliments your necklace, you can tell him about your trip. If you don’t have an accessory that has a story, give your best friend $10 and send her to the mall. Then you can talk about your friend and the scarf she gave you.

The most important advice: Don’t get so worried about your clothes that you forget to have fun. No man ever got home from date and described his date’s outfit to his roommate. He might remember that your shirt was green because it matched your eyes, but only if he’s super-observant. He will remember your gorgeous smile and great laugh. He’ll remember that you two talked until the restaurant closed. He’ll remember that you looked pretty and that he liked you. He’ll remember that he wants to see you again soon.

Fashion Article: Rock the Fun Styles of Fall from Head to Toe

After a long, sweltering summer, we’re all excited to break out the newest fall fashions. This year as you’re re-stocking your cold weather wardrobe, there a few key pieces that will sail you through the season in style.

While this is arguably the most important item in your closet all year long, womens body shapers are especially useful in the fall when leggings and fitted sweaters abound. A body shaper will help you flatten your tummy, slim your thighs and give you a more defined waist. With one of these undergarments on, all your clothes will fit better and fall just right. Even better, they’re so comfortable you won’t even notice they’re there. The seamless design of these pieces means no one else will notice them either.

Every woman needs a go-to pea coat. This classic, staple item comes in endless styles and designs but can truly make any outfit. Stores such as Woman Within and Lands’ End offer a great selection of plus size coats. Avoid pea coats that are cropped really short as these can sit on the hips, accentuating them. Look for one that is cinched at the waist to help define your curves. The extra bulk of coats can create the appearance of added weight, so this is a great time to wear a body shaper to help slim your midsection.

Though the colors of fall tend to be more muted than summer, this year it looks like brights are trending to continue past August. While coral or mint green might be a bit much, a pair of red, green, or purple slacks can be a killer addition to your wardrobe. This is another great instance when womens body shapers come in handy. The bright color will draw attention to the legs and rear, so a thigh slimming body shaper will give you confidence to rock these eye-catching pants. Throw on a more sedate cream or charcoal pea coat over top and you won’t have to worry about people thinking you’ve forgotten what month it is. These bright, cheery colors will help you get through the bleaker weather with a smile on your face.

When it comes to jewelry this fall, think watches and bangles in natural colors. Michael Kors and Marc Jacobs are still stealing the show on the watch front, and for good reason! Tortoise shell, nude, and gold are all great looks for autumn.

Of course, we can’t forget the shoes. Similar to last year, it looks like this fall is going to be all about the boots. A wedge-heeled boot is a great way to add some height, which helps us all look longer and thinner, without the pain of torturous stilettos. To avoid a frumpy or widening look, stay away from the slouchy style boots. Grey and tan in leather and suede are shaping up to be big boot hits this fall.
