Show Me Your Closet

So far this year plus size fashion has gone more mainstream with the appearances of fashion for larger sizes showing at, and during regular-sized fashion shows.   New York, London, Italy had plus size fashions walking down the runway , and this very weekend, LA will also feature Haute Fashion for larger sizes .  This might not seem like a big deal to many, but for us curvy divas, it means we are making a mark on the industry by showing designers how important we are!  No longer are we accepting nondescript, unattractive styles.   We love ourselves, and we want to look just as good as everyone else!.  It is because of this empowerment and our buying power , that designers are taking notice. I recently read on The Curvy Fashionista , that plus size fashion made its first appearance at the Mercedes Benz Fashion show at NYFW !

Photo by Joel Ryan/Invision/AP Much like beauty curvy divas, fashion is in the eyes of the beholder! I do love this red leather jacket!  Can't you see yourself rocking it?!  If they had it in our s...

There are times when I'm happy about the progress that seems to be happening when it comes to fashion for the larger sized woman , and there are times when I'm not so excited! I'm excited when I see the types of design and products that are offered to us curvy divas . Beautiful, well-made clothing, some of them by house designers, or by brand named designers; accessories to die for, and the men who love us!  There are now many different Medium, such as magazines and online fashion stores geared towards us, not to mention the many big and beautiful bloggers out there! I don't get excited however, when I keep seeing clothing that makes absolutely no sense, such as those that are just like shapeless sack cloths, or the designers and/or the industry itself that keeps putting us in the corner!  "No one puts baby in the corner!" Sometime it seems as if we're being thrown a bone to keep us happy and sated!  I was excited to read about an upcoming Plus Sized...
