The Large BagTrend - Where to Shop

Several times this year, I've read articles that talks about large handbags being on the "out" and smaller handbags being the "trend" .    Well guess what?  If you didn't jump on that trend-wagon, you're still in the running of being fashionable!   Personally, I really don't mind carrying a smaller handbag when I'm going out on the town (aka doing anything else other than running errands)!  Even then I prefer to carry an envelope bag or a scaled-down (in size) handbag which often tends to be on the slightly larger side!   It just depends on what you like curvy divas !  It's great to follow trends, but even better when you make a trend your own !

You and I both know that it is great to find good deals on the clothing and accessories we buy.  Heck, it's fabulous when we find a bargain on anything within a budget we can afford! Take for example from the master of all foundation garments,  Spanx !   the Bra-llelujah bra:   Bravo, Breezy back-smoothing bra from Spanx.com -  $72.00 For some things, I'm sure that you are willing to pay, within reason-and at the right price of course, to own an item you really love, desire or need! For the plus size diva, our reality is , sometimes we have to pay more for an item of clothing than the regular size woman does.  While I don't mind doing that for an item that is absolutely a "need", I don't necessarily do it all of the time, unless in my head I'm telling myself "you deserve this" !  "And we do don't we?...
