Seven Things You SHOULD Wear on a Plane

Last year I wrote an article with suggestions about what you should not wear on a plane, you know, when you're travelling! Well curvy divas, I found out the Seven things that you SHOULD wear on a plane!  Why do you need this information? Well, it might come in handy because flying on a plane is not the most rested of thing to do.  It can be one of the most harried and uncomfortable moments of your life.  So if you can make yourself as comfortable as possible, wouldn't you try to?

Caroline Costello shared some tips on Smartertravel.com. Her first suggestion is to wear layers, and lots of it, if you can.  Not only will you be able to handle the different temperature changes on the plane, depending on where you're going, or coming from, you can take off, or keep some of those layers!  And even more important, dressing in layers means that you will be packing less clothing!



You will want to wear clothing that is not only comfortable, but that will literally be "breathable" fabric, such as cotton.




Wear support hosiery or socks. That is socks that will support your legs and keep the oxygen moving.  Remember for some people who fly, they might be prone to leg swellings or have medical issues that could be difficult, wearing support hosiery or socks will keep your circulation moving!



You should also wear comfortable flats
Wearing shoes that can easily be taken off, or put back on, is a plus.  For men I would say wear loafers instead of sneakers!

Ms. Costello also recommends wearing clothing with lots of pockets.  I totally agree with that!  You would be surprise at how handy having more than one pockets is!  You can put your passport, ticket, and sunglasses in different pockets.  This will leave your hands free to carry your hand luggage!


Wearing loose fitting clothing is also one of those seven items!  Remember you're flying, you want to be comfortable, do you see the theme we're going with curvy divas?

Last but not least wearing something fashionably stylish!  Now I know you might be saying to yourself, "What?"  Because after the list above, something stylish?!  Well, of course, we don't want you looking like an overstuffed bear or a penguin! You also don't want to look like a bum!  Nope, the reason why you should dress stylish and neat, is because sometimes, the flight attendants will give free upgrades to passengers who are nicely dressed!  

So, the next time you're going on a plane, try wearing a tee-shirt layered over a tank, with a jacket that has lots of pockets, a pair of jeans or a nice skirt, nice flats (loafers for men) with support tights or socks, and have a great looking handbag! Whew~  I think we nailed it!

Whatever you do curvy divas, I found some great suggestions on Elle.com!  They featured RED , in everything, accessories, clothing, make up, even underwear!  Here are my favorite picks! I LOVE this dress! The silhouette is beautiful and will flatter most body types!  I checked and this item doesn't go larger than a size 12 by the designer, and they are out of this style at Neiman Marcus, however, it's a great look and you can find something similar elsewhere!  If it is too long, find a shorter length.

The Best Hair Color for You

You choose your outfit with care, down to the shoes you wear for that particular look.  You put your makeup on, and now it's time for your hair.....why is it not looking its best?  Everything that you do in trying to style it, is just so wrong!  You're ready to scream or pull your hair out!!!! Have you ever had a bad hair day?  I know I have, more than once!  Usually, if I'm lucky, I'll have time to wear a hat, a wig or pin my hair in a way to make it work!  It doesn't matter who you are, for every woman, if your hair isn't at its best, you will not be too ! When you have your hair, as some might say "did" or "done" you know you will be at your fabulously curvy best !  One of the  things I like to do is color my hair. Yes, it's chemical, so I guess I'm not totally au naturel!  You can try a rinse, which is a way to temporarily color your hair with a new look, or you can use a permanent color and rock your hair the way you want! ...
