Butt so Big You Can Sit a Glass on It

Have you ever been told that??? I know I have. I have been blessed with a large rear end and I get that comment a lot. It doesn't really bother me as long as it's not coming from a complete stranger, because I love my huge butt LOL. I only have one nag about it and that is that it sits up really high and it is hard to find a skirt that will not have me mooning people.


For me skirts aren't my only issue. Being that my waist is a lot smaller than my hips, I either have my bottoms rising up or pants falling down if I don't wear a belt. Even with a belt my bottoms will still rise up. I hate to buy a great dress or skirt and end up having to alter the orignal look to make it work for me but It's a must have. If you have the same delimma I do, here are a few tips to still have a killer look:
  • Buy midi dresses and skirts. The orignal lentgh is around our knees or a little bit longer so if it rises up you are still in the safe zone. Also making your midi skirt a high waist will also give the illusion of a shorter skirt.
  • Make dresses shirts. We all have different body types and sometimes things are not made to fit our's. You can make a dress a great tunic top by adding leggings, shorts, etc.
  • Tailor your items. I know we don't all have the means to do so but for those who can, get your item tailord to better fit your body. Add material or take it in for your trouble areas.
  • Look for alternatives. If you are stuck on a certain item 9 times out of 10 you can find a similar item that better fits your body type.
  • Make your own clothing. I know not everyone can sew but making your clothes yourself will not only save you money but you will make the items to fit your body perfectly.
These are things that I have tried and it works for me. Sometimes I do wish I can wear that dress or skirt with no worries but that is not the body I was blessed with. I love my table top and you should love yours too. Hopefully these tips will help you get out their and be creative!

Skater Tanks and High Waist Skirts

 
So this weekend I spent my whole Saturday at the Waterloo Premium Outlet. I have not been there in years and had not planned on going either. My boyfriend brought up going as a great way to get out of the house with our daughters and I though it would be a great idea. I knew I wouldn't be able to shop till I drop but I was really just looking for great pieces that can be versatile for work and play. I shopped at stores I never have before like straight size stores and found very cute pieces that fit me perfectly.
 

 
 It would be a long day in hell before I though a straight size piece would fit my plus size body. I no longer think that way. I have other plus size bloggers to think for that. I follow so many other plus size fashionistas and can honestly say they have taught me a few things. Both my skirt and tank is from straight size stores. The tank is also from the men's section. I wouldn't wear this shirt work but this skirt is the bomb. What's crazy about this skirt is that it won't even go up over my butt and hips. I have to put it on over my head and still fits me perfectly. I also love how it's pleated in the front and back and the entire waist is elastic. The shirt is so cool, I think it's more for women than it is for men. This outfit is so fun, I just love it!!!
