Why Do People Wear Their Clothes Too Big?

I hope all is well.  I have been really busy lately trying to figure out what I am going to do with myself.   What I mean career wise.  I currently style women for a living at Ann Taylor but my background is really broad.  Have you ever wondered as an adult what you wanted to be when you grow up?  I wonder that all the time being that I am in my late 30s. One thing that I do enjoy is helping others be the best possible self they possibly can be.

I have been pondering why women buy clothes too big here in America?  Working in the industry and helping women find clothing for their lives; they often buy clothes two sizes too big.  Some are afraid to show off or accentuate the body that they have and others are trying to hide the lumps (so humorously called by one of my clients).

I was reading an article about how Europeans like closer fitting or tailored clothes.  Europeans don’t anticipate on gaining any weight.  Gaining weight is not an option in Europe and especially when buying couture clothing.  To counteract that notion, my clients buy clothes too big to anticipate weight gain. 

Since my recent weight loss, I buy things that accentuate my curves.  Having an hourglass figure and toned arms, I buy sleeveless close fitting dresses to show off my hard work.  I am dressing according to my body type and I don’t anticipate on gaining any weight.  Anything that is loose fitting like a maxi dress or sheath dress makes me look like a cow in a gown.  My question, is why do Americans speak weight gain to existence whereas Europeans shun at the notion of gaining weight?

Is Blogging Dead?

Hello To All. I have been missing in action from this blog since 2015.  I am the type of person that gets bored with things quite quickly.  I have a question for you today.  Is blogging dead?  There are millions of blogs out there covering everything from fashion, food, homes, wine, and etc.  With the fashion piece, Instagram has taken over the need to post a  blog about what a person is wearing and what the audience should buy. However, is it quite necessary to share with the world everything that a person does in their life. I am signing off with this open ended question; should you leave things to the  imagination?  Ponder on that question; will you. Until next time, many, many, many, blessings!

Happy New Years 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                               . Blessings to All,  It has been a long time coming for this post. The last time I blogged was back in May 2014.  Fast forward to January 1, 2015.  I am very happy to see another year.  I am so glad that 2014 is in the past.  Today is a time to look forward to new opportunities.  On my agenda this year is to get better and wiser.  I am on the path of eliminating baggage out of my life. I am very much interested in the minimalist movement.  A minimalist voluntarily simplifies their life.  It can include buying less things, reducing consumption, working less, and even eliminating toxic things from your life.  I always admired the Japanese culture.  They practice minimalism; however some may argue that is due ...

Transition from summer to fall in style.... Ann Taylor Friends and Family

Good Evening All, I have been busy, busy, busy.  Trying to get acclimated to my new routine.  I went to my job today to get my carrot juice I left over the weekend and I left with the task of passing out Friends and Family fliers to people that I know.  Ann Taylor is having their Friends and Family sale beginning on August 2, 2012 through August 5, 2012.  This is the perfect time to save 30% off of your entire purchase.  Ladies, this is the time to stock up on your tropical wool suiting.  Down below I am wearing one of the skirts from the Fall collection.
