Plus size swimwear 2010 special

Ok, burned a little midnight oil and put some finishing touches on the new swimsuit special for Hourglass Fashion. While scouring the web as we know it, I came across some really fantastic styles in plus size swimwear. Some of the stores have special offers for freebie items or even discounts on purchases. Come have a look at all the goodies!

Ps. Like the nifty graphic with the surfboard n stuff? That was my first time doing an image map so all in all I'm pretty pleased with the results. Hope you like! ~Jax

PS PS. Some of the places that do have swimwear for plus sizes don't have individual pictures that I can use to show you like Addition Elle, Penningtons, and MXM but here are some links to those stores. I believe they are based in Canada but their shipping rates seem reasonable to USA. They are running a shipping special also which I have linked below.

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....

One Hanes Place has a sale starting tomorrow 5-13-2009. They have a plus size selection including intimates and swimwear. If you are looking for the best deals, make sure to check the clearance sections first. If you order, don't forget the coupon code. 15% off PLUS $2.95 shipping at onehanesplace.com! Use promo code: 611521 at checkout. Offer Valid 5.13.09 through 5.16.09.

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.

Design changes on Hourglass Fashion

Alrighty, I spent some time this morning getting the graphics changes and layout finished on Hourglass Fashion. I will always try to keep improving the site, it's just my nature, even if I had to do it this time by accident lol. The only thing I need to do is now do some more updates to the various pages on the site. Seems like it's so crazy to keep up with the whole site sometimes but I'm trying! I had a little set back with the menu snafu this past week as well as some family emergencies. Such is life as you all know.

I will probobly work on changing out the plain font menu for some nice buttons or something a little flashier. One thing at a time of course. As long as the menu is functional, that is my main concern of course.

Today I will probobly do some work on the fashion spotlight for the month of March. Hmm what to delve into.... My first thought is spring fashions since it's on our doorstep now. Time to rummage the net for some great plus size styles for spring!

OOo! SwimsuitsForAll.com is having an awesome special that you can get cruise vouchers with a $60 purchase. Yes, cruise as in Bon Voyage!!



They also have a swimsuit special going on right now. Might as well take the dive and get one before the season hits.
