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!

Me 'n My 'Fro: On Being Natural - How it began

I mentioned the first article I wrote   about my hair that I would share with you my hair journey curvy divas. For the next couple of Wednesdays, that is what I will do on this blog.  If you are black aka African American as we say here in the United States (technically, I'm Caribbean-American), you know the ins and outs of our hair journeys. The success, when you rock your hair and look fierce; the woes, when you just give up and put on a hat!lol! And even wear a hat, just because you wanna rock that new hat!   I have always had what some called "a head full of hair", so much that the authenticity of my hair came into question quite a couple of times.  My mom loved to style our hair (my sisters and me) and would always have her girls looking beautiful in ribbons and hair clips where ever we went!   There are two incidents I remember distinctly, as a child, and as an adult.  Once in Primary school (that is Elementary here in the USA), a teach...

Found: The TShirt Dress

I found myself at the Mall of Millenia, a high-end mall the other day, Amanda and I went on a little adventure at which I was very excited. This mall is a bit farther away from us so we don't get there as often. It was about time I visited H&M...oh my love for that store has increased!!!  While I was there, I wanted to grab a handful of clothing and run to the fitting room, but I had a hard time finding my size.  Where were the larger sizes for us curvy girls??!!  I thought there was a sectioned for plus size-didn't see if one and couldn't find sizes for me. Jersey Maxi Dress w/raw edges at arms & slit It was a busy place so I couldn't ask anyone who worked there (I saw so few employees), but the store was pretty busy... however after looking around, I saw a dress I liked, a large was the largest size, I picked one in each color, a black and a grey;  it was a tee-shirt style, cotton-jersey material; with a round neckline and a slit that had me won...
