Getting Acquainted

I am a size 18/20 woman with a passion for all things fashion-related. I anxiously await the mail every month for my issues of InStyle & Vogue. Then, I spend days dreaming about how I'd buy the latest Prada, D&G, or Burberry if I could just squeeze myself into a size 12/14. I have spent years performing this same ritual with little to no results of becoming smaller. So, I've decided to seek fashionable clothing for the plus size woman. I just LOVE (yeah, right) how designer brands consider anything over size 6 "plus size". WHAT??? The average woman is size 16+. While some designers have recently decided to collaborate to bring fashion to the everyday woman, they are still not wearable for anyone with curves. I will scour the world looking for fashionable finds for the plus size woman. AND finding clothes that are age-appropriate for those over 35. I read these fabulous magazines full of glitz & glam but wonder--would this work for me? Maybe if I were 21, but not 35.

If you have any ideas for things you'd like to talk about or see me test any beauty products, I am willing to try it.
