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.
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 wondering how I was going to wear it? Plus, would it fit, after all, most XL's do fit, but...you never know? I contemplated and decided to try them anyway and headed for the fitting room. Guess what? They fit....a large in this style..fit my curvy behind!lol! I chose the grey (heather grey) one because of the way it looked, and with the thought of summer days in mind.
How did I wear it? On a weekend errand-run. I wore a stripe tee (H&M, also a Divine brand) (large); large silver-gemstones hoops; large colorful armcandy-bangles; silver thong-sandals. I will have to add a photo (or do a separate article w/more photos) of the accessories later (my camera (phone) is acting up so can't put those in this posting)

This dress is very comfortable. However it is on the thin side so you have to wear proper garments underneath. I wore leggings under mine. You can't see it in the photos here, but I will post additional photos in another article. One thing I must also note, this dress while being loose fitting, will not be that loose on us curvy girls. It is deceivingly figure hugging and if you are body-conscious, don't wear it! It skimmed my body but hit my curves in all the (hopefully) right places. I was super conscious in it but oh boy it was such a great look!
