Figuresque sale

Figuresque is running some sales on their plus size fashions. They have some trendy outfit ideas too. The thing I really like about Figuresque is they provide measurements for each item. We all know how sizes vary so much from brand to brand. Checking measurments before buying is always the best policy :) An easy way to see what measurements you are comfortable with is to take an existing item from your wardrobe that fits you how you like and measure it. This gives you a basic guide if you don't want to try and measure yourself. This is particularly handy when it comes to pants.

Fabric used will also play a part in fit as far as if it has stretch or not. Poly/spandex and cotton/spandex blends are a couple of fabric blends that will usually be abit forgiving. If in doubt you can always email the seller for more information. Hope that helps you abit for shopping online.

Summer shoes and finding the perfect fit

I came across some great vids from Kim Brittingham of Kimwrites.com with some great info on finding summer shoes that fit not only a wide width but a chubby foot as well. So, have no fear or pain at least lol help is on the way with her fab finds. Since summer is winding down you may even be able to find some sales on the shoes she has tested!!

PART 2

Low on funds but need some new clothes?

I know that clothing is probably near the end of alot of people's concerns at the moment but it's surely still a necessity for most. The best thing I can suggest is going through your closet to really get a feel for your entire wardrobe. Purge, sell or donate the items you no longer wear due to fit or preference. Try to make a variety of possible mix and match outfits from your existing clothing and when you shop for new items, use those to fill the gaps or create new combinations with what you already have. This will stretch your wardrobe farther as well as your budget. Try not to be a label snob when bargain shopping. Nobody sees that label but you. Truth be told I've had some of my elcheapo garments last a heck of a lot longer than some items from higher end stores.

The other thing helps is shopping clearance racks, during sales, or with coupons. If you prefer to shop online in your jammies then make sure you check online for coupons to your favorite store first. I normally post a good amount of the sales here on the blog for you or on the Hourglass Fashion website so be sure to check before you shop. That being said let me have a looksee for some coupons for ya. Lets seeeee....

The swimsuit to the left is available through One Hanes Place. They have a version for average cup sizes as well as a suit for D cup plus. Finally someone picked up on the fact that our boobs come in different sizes. Yay!

I found some really cute stuff at Walmart.com. Best of all the prices are really affordable. Check out the new women's Plus Knit Halter Dress to the left. Currently it's $17 with 97 cents shipping. It's also available in turquoise. Sexy stuff! If you look through their plus size apparel section it's not uncommon to find cute tops and more for less than 10 bucks each. I've got my eye on some $5 dollar tops.
