I'm home today with the kids - a couple appointments we have to get to - and I'm going away for a week for part work (trade show in San Diego) and part personal (seeing my dear mom and dad in the Bay Area). So I'm glad to be home. But, of course, they are teenagers. So here it is - 9:23 - and they are still sound asleep. Great! Thus far I have done work emails, made a work call, watched Top Chef (Hail! The DVR!), eaten cereal (Wheaties mixed with some Honey-nut Cheerios), made and drank coffee, read the paper, done the dishes, and watched part of Rachel Ray.
RR had lovely Emme, the plus-size supermodel, on the show. FYI - I have met Emme and she is a very nice lady and has a golden glow about her. Emme made over three full-sized ladies ranging size 20 - 24. Their complaint, of course, is that they want to look good - image that! - and be able to actually find stylish and flattering clothes. No more tents! No more bed spreads! No more peasant blouses!
Emme did the makeovers which emphasized the following:
- Show off your assets: Wear fitted (but not tight) blouses that gather under your breasts or at your skinniest bit (usually the waist or under said breasts).
- Don't shy away from color: dark on bottom, color on top. It draw's the eye up the body to your face.
- Layer
Emme likes to recommend ruffles a little more than I would - and leggings. But these ladies looked prettier, shapelier, and happier.
And here are some cute dresses that are very work appropriate - perfect for a more voluptuous woman. Wear with a jacket to kick it up a notch. This is from Overstock.com.
Oooh, I think one of the kids is getting up. Gotta go.
