In today's post  I will be sharing quick tips on how to find the best suits for your body type. We are midway through summer and retailers have begun slashing prices on quality swimwear, so I figured this was the best time to share this information. Thanks to Asian sites you can now buy swimsuits for like 99 cents, however, weve all heard the saying you get what you pay for #toogoodtobetrue. Which is why I suggest that as a full figured / plus size woman you take advantage of the sale season and my tips now and get the most value for your money.

Finding the best swimsuit for your body type requires you to know what your body type is, do you? it's one of the fundamental requirements for dressing better.

For pear shapes look to attract the eye upwards so plunge necklines, ruffles around the decolletage (like this one for only $16), off shoulder pieces are the way to go.  Make sure to also go for bottoms that are full coverage in the back with little to no frills and embellishments. You can go with both a one or two piece.

For donut shapes, one piece's are your best friends look for details that deemphasize your belly like color blocking, dark panels and ruching on the sides (like this suit).

Next for inverted triangles stay away from cuts that emphasize the broadness of your shoulders, like halter tops or Crop tops. Your shape can be tricky depending on wear you hold the most weight. Go for prints, bold colors, ruffles and ties on the bottom to draw attention downwards ( only if your belly isnt an issue). 

Try a wrap silhouette, strategic paneling or cutouts around the waist to bring the eye in (like this crochet suit). Also higher cuts may emphasize long shapely legs.

My suit is from Eloquii its sadly sold out. However, if you like the print you can buy this Bikini top (on sale) size up unless you are pear shaped.

Lastly, no matter what shape you are, when you are plus size always look for suits that are made from heavy duty swim fabrics that will help gently shape you, as well as for thicker straps, fastens and underwire. 
These tend to be premium features that will cost a bit more, however, these added features will help you look your absolute best in your swimsuit. So take advantages of the sales happening now and shop my picks now before they are gone.





P.S. no one is perfect, its a myth and those hangups that you have, trust me no one else is/will be as hung up on them as you, so go live your best life and slay in your suit.

If $$ on swim is just not in your budget then watch the video for the best swim options under $15. Investing in swimsuits (for features like underwire and power mesh fabric) is still my recommendation, however, I understand it may not be in everyone's budget so I hope the video below helps.

How to Shop The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale on a Budget + What Im Buying


Can you believe it the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is finally here πŸ™ŒπŸΎπŸ™ŒπŸΎ . I thought I would put up this post real quick!! It is currently 11:26  and I went to bed super late last night woke up early and I'm about to do the same again πŸ™ˆ God give me strength.  I'm here writing this post because I really want you guys to have to have access to the post as soon as you wake up this morning.

For those who don't know what the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is it's basically a sale where you get to shop new arrivals (fall preview) at discounted prices (this is not how typical retail works BTW). 

So there's this big misconception that Nordstrom is a premium brand and therefore really expensive, I'm here to share a secret Nordstrom does have affordable lines and  I'll be sharing them below. Here is why I'm a fan of Nordstrom you get quality pieces with one of the best customer friendly policies.

AFFORDABLE  WOMEN'S LINES AT NORDSTROM (SIZE INCLUSIVE)


AFFORDABLE SHOES


AFFORDABLE BAGS


AFFORDABLE ACCESSORIES


Today is the beginning of early access to the sale, early access to the sales is only available for Nordstrom card holders, basically, if you have an existing debit card or you have the credit card. You can apply for a card Here.


However, if you do not want to that is okay because public access to the sale will begin on the 21st.

If you can only invest in a category that category should be BASICS (See the one item you need from the NSALE), stock up on quality tees, cardigans, jeans, moto jackets these are your closet workhorses and outfit makers. When you invest in these categories you get the most bang for your buck and the difference in quality makes you look expensive.

White Jeans Outfit + The One Thing You Need From the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale








JACKET SOLDOUT (SIMILAR) // JEANS // SANDALS // TEE
Hi Chicsters long time no speak in todays post is all about wardrobe basics. Now I believe I've talked about basics on the blog a couple of times but honestly there importance didn't dawn on me until a couple of months ago.

 Last year during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale I tried out the Tee I have on and I fell in love.  Prior to this revelation I was the kind of girl who didn't believe in spending more than $10 bucks on a Tee. 
However when I put on this Tee all my t shirt dreams were fulfilled. It was slouchy but not baggy, THE NECK wasn't too wide low etc ( its a U-neck/rounded V), the sleeve length was just right, and the Tee COVERED MY BUTT!! Boo I almost lost it! BTW I am wearing an XXL which equates to an 18 comes in Plus also.

SHOP THE POST



Basically the experience reiterated what I had heard for years which is to invest in basics

You look more expensive they fit and wear better and over time you get your money's worth. Speaking of the sale it starts in 2 days, (Early Access) I am currently gathering the Tea lol! I will be sharing my picks in various categories so if you want me to cover any specifics please let me know.

I didn't even talk about my outfit, the theme was all white with contrast, I was going for resort vibes so I paired my favorite White Tee which I currently have a double of and in black (will be stocking up if avail during the sale) with a pair of white jeans from Ashley Stewart (watch Haul) comes in XS, S, R, TALL ,  an embroidered denim jacket from Torrid and lace up sandals from Asos
