Mode amazing trouve (Amazing fashion finds)

Bonjour Mesdames, j'ai trouvé quelques sites merveilleux qui fournissent des vêtements épaissir. (Hello Ladies, I have found some wonderful websites that provide thicken clothing. I felt speaking french while talking about fashion was extremely appropriate!)

While I was rummaging around online I found a few not so expensive apparel websites. The first one which is Modcloth is specifically for thickens and have some really cute things, I plan on buying some soon. Skirts and shorts and dresses OH MY!!! Jones new york as well and while I understand this store isn't for younger women, they do AT TIMES have some fabulous finds. That's what fashion is all about, finding those fabulous once in a life time finds that are essential to a wardrobe and can be worn all seasons for a couple years even. I actually found 2 winter jackets from Jones New York that I've had for 3years now and they still look brand new. I don't use them every year, instead I use the 1year on 1year off system, that way it always stays new and people don't realize that its actually the same piece. Here is a perfect example of a staple piece! Wendy Williams actually wears Jones New York a lot, mostly skirts from what I've seen and if ya don't believe me take a look for your self lol

How about jeans?? I personally have the hardest time trying to find jeans! My ass and thighs are too big. Well, I heard about Not Your Daughters Jeans from Wendy Williams and they actually sell them out here in Vegas. I will be trying a pair on soon and let you guys know what I think and I'll even try to take pictures, as long as they have my size in the store! While I was looking at their website, I noticed "Win a free Pair" Of course I signed up and during the sign up they ask for your jean size... wait for it....they go up to a size 24 in misses, petites, and womens!!!! GASP!! Not only do they have jeans but they also have skirts and shorts and trousers! OH MY!!!

And of course, Since I am a Wendy fan I was watching today and she had a woman by the name of Charla Krup who wrote a book entitled "How to Never Look Fat Again" which is about women and hiding their fat. I will check that book out, I'm sure she's got some great tips that I haven't heard of yet. A few no nos are, short hair, light washed jeans, too tight of jeans/pants on big hips, also too short of shirts on big hips, shes not recommending hiding our hips and butt just making sure to get a little bit of a longer shirt. As far as pluses go, bigger bangles, bigger bags, longer hair, and V-neck shirts is good for EVERYONE! She also said "did you know that the AVERAGE size in this country for women is a 14!! The average breast size is 38DD!" In that case, my question is, if we are average then why is it so hard to find clothing for our sizes and shapes????

Fashion tips...

Hola World!!!

I loveeeeeeeeeee fashion!!!! Next to hair (first) and make up (a close second) FASHION is my freakin fave!!!

Most of us are either hour glass or pear shaped.... if you are a different body shape PLEASE email me at "Ohmythicknessblog@gmail.com" and I will up date this or make a new post specified for your body shape!!...... The best dresses for hour glass (I am a mix between hour glass and pear, my waist is actually VERY small, but I don't have large breast BUT my shoulders are proportionate to my hips) are wrap dresses, I understand DVF (Diane Von Fostenburge) may be expensive but that is the BEST/first wrap dress ever created, which is why I am posting a picture of one.
This one is perfect because it ties at the smallest part and drops so your curves are shown off. The jersey material is perfect for spring and summer. Pattern pattern pattern!!! I will post a picture of one I bought its not a tie but it does have a band and a great pattern that I love. Its a little long for my taste and I'd like to get it shortened which is very easy to do so once you find a good tailor. The next dress is also a DVF dress and I happen to love it because I am a pin up at heart and it totally brings me back to that time when I see it.This one happens to be linen or cotton. This one is perfect as well because it hits above the knee so its not too long, it has a thicker tie and REALLY accentuates your waist and if you don't like the more clingy material such as jersey this would be a perfect alternative!

As for shoes with these you can wear heels, wedges (cork wedges are perfect), and even flats depending on the shoe and dress length.

If you have any questions on this topic OR about a particular outfit you have in mind please feel free to email or leave a comment and I will answer via blog and email as soon as I get a chance!!

Bye for now!!
Thicken!
