I’m a huge fan of these lace pieces. If they feel a little too subdued, consider pairing them with bright colored shoes or accessories.

I spent the afternoon at the mall today with my youngest daughter and was really disappointed that my local H&M didn’t carry the shirt cream lace shirt pictured above. That would have been such a great addition to some of my outfits!

Regardless of your shape or size, it can be difficult to find clothing that fits and flatters. When you move into the plus-size category, it can be even trickier.
The truth is that many women secretly wish they could revamp their wardrobe and find clothes that are flattering to their body, but they simply don’t know how. More to the point, they might not have the confidence to run out to the store and buy a bunch of clothes that are going to look good on them. Part of the problem is that women have bought into the lie that unless they wear a certain size or are in an ideal weight range, they won’t look good in their clothes.
In reality, women of any size and shape can look stunning and women of any size and shape can look frumpy. I know plenty of women who have amazing figures who are in desperate need of a makeover. I also know quite a few plus-size women who always look like they’ve just stepped off the pages of a fashion magazine!
Before you can find clothes that fit and flatter, you need to overcome the idea that your weight gets in the way of looking amazing. It’s simply not true! Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing tips and tricks to help you find clothes that fit and flatter regardless of your shape.

On Tuesday, I wore my hair in a faux bob. While my hair is quite long, this is a technique I learned last summer that I end up using quite regularly. Someday soon, I’ll do a post on how to put your hair in a faux bob!
So…that’s what I’ve worn so far this week. Please excuse my lack of makeup in the above pictures. I typically put on my makeup in the car. Yeah…I know, it’s a bad habit, but it is what it is!

Most of my posts in the last 2 months have been focused on weight loss, but I think it’s time to start talking more about fashion. More specifically…Plus Size Fashion!
In the past 5 years, my weight and size has been all over the map. I’ve worn everything from a 12 to a 24. While it’s much easier to find cute clothes when you’re a size 12, it’s possible to look like a million bucks at any size.
When I started Flabby Fashionista, that was something I wanted to convey and so from here on out, I’ll be regularly posting tips and tricks for finding great plus size fashion, deals on plus size fashion, pics of myself and what I’m wearing, and other fun plus size fashion finds.
Let me know if there’s something else you’d like to see!

Random thought of the day…
This blog is called Flabby Fashionista and unfortunately I’ve recently become more flabby and less fashionista. I’m totally in a fashion rut…and not by choice.
I’ve been pretty much living in sweater dresses and leggings…and the dress pictured above when it’s warmer out (thankfully, it doesn’t get warm here very often cause it would be weird to wear the same dress every day).
I don’t have many clothes in my current size and I refuse to buy more since I’m not planning on being this size for long. so I’ve been living in sweater dresses and leggings. I also have a pretty strapless dress, but it’s a little too fancy for every day life.
So for now, I’m living vicariously through Pinterest.
