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?

Dooney and Bourke Florentine Smith Bag in Royal Blue

Good Morning All, I have been enjoying this nice Chicago weather we have.  It has been around 70-80 degrees for almost two weeks now.  It is kind of creepy.  I went to Culver's yesterday to get one of my favorite treats, a three scoop lemon Ice and while in the drive through I see a big bumblebee.  Spring is definitely in the air.  I am waiting for the ball to drop.  Will we be getting 6 inches of snow in May?  Anyways, I got a new bag.  Well, I exchanged a bag that I had bought about two months ago for this bag.  It is the Dooney and Bourke Florentine Smith Bag in Royal Blue.  I had purchased this bag in white/tan for the spring and had a change of heart.  I like white bags; however, they don't wear well.  Eventually they will get some kind of color transfer from denim or they will yellow overtime. I have a Chloe and Marc Jacobs bag that did that.  Well, the bag in my opinion is not royal blue in person.  It is ...

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!

Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel

Good Evening All, This week has been rather hectic.  Dealing with family issues and job interviews at the same time.  All is good and the Creator is in charge.  I had purchased a Dooney and Bourke bag about two months ago to store my keys, ipod and identification when I workout at the gym. The bag wasn't a great choice and I end up exchanging the bag for a Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel in gray. At first I didn't really like the Janine Satchel because of the size.  I love big bags; however since I have lost over 20 pounds, big bags are starting to overwhelm my stature.  I wanted a gray bag because I wear a lot of gray outfits and have been unable to find the perfect gray bag.  There are many different shades of gray that tend to be a little taupe or have a bluish undertone.  This bag is more on the heather gray side with the beige vachetta accent. It is the perfect bag for the warmer months.  The leather reminds me of the Prada S...
