TOP // SKIRT ( DRESS) // SANDALS // CLUTCH |
Any one who knows me knows I dont play when it comes to ShapeWear. For me dressing is about the clothes, and foundations can make or break a look especially when you are plus.
Simply because you have those extra curves that mannequins dont have and most designers dont factor in.
I think its important to have an arsenal of foundations at your disposal at the very least a High waist Thigh Shaper, a High Waist Brief , finally a Full Body Shaper . For example This Miraclesuit High Waist Thigh Slimmer
will smooth you out in a badass dress like This ( which I have my eye on by the way), & this TC Shapewear Smoothing Half Slip will compliment a skirt like This perfectly ( and you wont have to worry about chaffing).
I love a good Bra! When you are endowed with bosoms you cant afford to skimp in that department ( this Bra has 525 reviews and almost 5 stars!!). Lane Bryant is my go to for Bras and I always stock up on everyday Bras when they have a sale ( however if you are looking for longevity you may want to try department store brands like These ).
I love Lane Bryant's T Shirt Style Bras ( they just mold your boobs perfectly, and are so comfy ) and I recently pick up this One (left in only 38DDD) and these full coverage Ones.
I also love Cacique because I can always find specialty bras in my SIZE! like this extreme Plunge Bra (which I own ) and this Strapless Bra which I have on in this outfit.
As I stated before foundations are necessary in my opinion if you want your clothes to look their best on you; So you dont want to skip or skimp on them! Shop my Shapewear and Bra picks down below.
As for my outfit I kept things pretty monochrome. My Asos Skirt ( on sale for $19!!) in sz 14 was the focus of the look so I choose pieces that would compliment it. Since the Skirt is pretty high waist-ed and fitted I choose my Off Shoulder ( see off shoulder picks Here & even more Here) billowy Crop Top to balance proportions. Finally I finished the look with my go to Lace Up Sandals in black ( also in Red) & continued the monochrome theme with my accessories. Have you started your fall shopping yet? If you havnt see This post you will thank me later.
