Plus Size Clothing Stores, Boutiques, etc... (UPDATED)

I received messages on where to find nice plus size clothes. Now being that some of you are not in the United States I have put together list of places that you can purchase from online. There are many more plus size clothing stores and designers than my list. Google (or any other search engine) can be your best friend to find plus size clothing stores other than what is in your neighborhood. I hope this list helps and if you have any questions just ask. Since it has been well over a year from this original post, I thought I would give you and updated list!

These stores ranges in their sizes and prices. Their style of clothing are not all the same also. Here's to happy shopping :)

My Clothes Declared War on Me


Sooooo yup I have been fighting with my clothes lately and my clothes are winning. I have still not been able to wear all of my pre-twins clothes and now I'm fighting with my post-twins clothing SMH. Obviously I've been gaining weight and battling the scale for a while now but the stressful moments in my life made things that much more difficult.

I always gain weight when I stress and the end of last year was beyond stressful and now my clothes are paying for it. I keep telling myself that I will be back into them soon or they will be less tight once I lose a few pounds, but how long am I going to feel stuffed in my clothes.

As sad as it is to move up in a size I know that is the thing I must do FOR THE MOMENT. It will not be a permanent thing, however, I want to feel more comfortable and relaxed in my clothes. Tight clothes is cool from time to time, but geesh... I want to be able to exhale LOL.

I have came to conclusion that I must buy some new pants, jeans and even some tops. Whomp whomp... IT REALLY SUCKS THOUGH. I work hard but I fall short sometimes and that's ok. It is ok if you have to buy a bigger size just know that if you want to see changes you have to change. That is my goal. The ultimate goal is to get back into my pre-twins clothes and I know that time will come. Until then I want to be able to breath and eat without feeling constricted.

Wear RED Tomorrow and Here's Why...

Photo by: Cindy Bell Photography
February isn't just for Valentine's Day, like really it's not! February is also for The National Heart Association Go Red for Women and this year you should join the cause and support. Heart Health is very important, It's your heart you need to make sure it is as healthy as possible for you to be on this earth. You may not know that heart disease is the no. 1 killer of women, far more than cancer. I have had the pleasure of meeting a speaking with women that have conditions of the heart and they are amazing.

Will you join me with supporting heart disease by wearing red tomorrow. Yes, February 7 is national wear red day to support Go Red for Women. You can also read a lot more stories and get great information in this months issues of Syracuse Woman Magazine, including my article on why you should wear red here: http://issuu.com/syracusewomanmag/docs/swm_feb14issue/3?e=3224176/6591200
