Truth be told, not everyone can fit into a size 0. While I was clubbing in DC last week, I noticed that many of our plus-sized ladies were skankily dressed. Let's squash that popular myth that big girls can't get dressed to kill, shall we? Here are a few tried & tested fashion tips for today's plus-size woman:  Undergarments are important for giving good shape. Investing in skintight innerwear will provide your body with a much needed streamlined base for your outerwear. If possible don't wear flowing capricious fabrics. Various colors, materials, layers and patterns can make you look heavier and stocky. Complementary colors are dark grey, deep silver, wine, plum, jade, russet, midnight blue, cocoa & cranberry. Avoid clingy outerwear. Tight is not right! Don't wear smaller-sized garments. Choose good quality fabric that hangs elegantly. Ideal length for short, plump ladies to get a slim look is above or just on the knees, while tall women should wear longer hemlines.

• Tapered trousers are chic but can make the hips look big and legs short and stumpy. Wear boot cut style trousers to render leg length.
• Stilettos lengthen the look of legs.
• Lengthy straight skirts/dresses elongate the body which in return will have you appear slimmer
• Vertical stripes are a good choice for short, stout women.    
• Sport dresses or tops with empire waist for the longer look.
• Low necked dresses and long jewelry chains/necklaces help lengthen the look of the neck
• Avoid chokers and polo neck sweaters. This will give you the hunched look.

You've worked hard for your money all week, it's the weekend and you deserve to hit the town. You don't want to expend energy primping for hours on end. Save it for the dance floor. Here's what a little weekday planning & execution will do to help you kick things up a notch:

Have you ever been clubbing where it’s de rigueur for the ladies to sport some combination of a Prada handbag, Christian Louboutin shoes, Tiffany & Co. Jewelry, and a Versace outfit all at the same time? They look like walking billboards for our couture czars. Unless you’re earning a hefty commission from each of them, do yourselves and the rest of us a favor and stick to one brand name (if any) for each occasion. Please.

Condemn me if you must, but hear me out first. Our post-modern society is undergoing a seismic shift in our fashion imaging. Consequently, wearing your high-priced goodies all together makes you look like a hot mess. Nothing screams gauche more than nouveau riche. People who come from old money don’t put themselves out on front street (except perhaps Paris Hilton). You don’t need to indulge in an orgy of fashion brand names. It’s wishful thinking that it’ll make you more desirable. Challenge yourselves: dress for the event, be well groomed, but quit being a brand name hoar. The results will be climactic.

I possess a dire genetic affliction. It’s deeply ingrained in my DNA that I should never pay full price for quality items. In this economic climate, the prognosis is favorable for stocking up on the basics at rock-bottom prices. Most lovers would balk at the idea of ratty undergarments (except perhaps Hugh Grant & Bridget Jones’ granny panties). However, for your night out on the town, assume that, at some point, you're going to have to strip down to your skivvies. Sexy bras, panties, and garters can be purchased for a fraction of the regular price during holiday clearance & semi annual sales. An insidious fashion faux pas is ill-fitting undergarments- it can ruin a gorgeous outfit. If possible, use the staff’s expertise to find the correct sizes and styles. Here’s a hot, free tip: Today, Victoria’s Secret has an 80% off clearance sale on bras & panties. For great in-store & online coupons, feast your eyes. If you’re aware of additional bona-fide lingerie discounts, please let us know since to overpay is humanly possible, but to share discounts is divine. Snap out of your complacence folks, and be prepared to look delectable.
