Plus Size Clothing - Build Your Wardrobe
For Style

The alarm pulls me away from the
romantic dinner I was having with Tom
Cruise and the aroma of fresh-perked
coffee spurs my sleepy body to tumble
out of bed and into the shower. I pull
on my robe and traipse downstairs to the
kitchen to begin another day at the
office. I pour my coffee and sit down to
read the newspaper.

A year ago I would have been dashing
around frantically ironing blouses and
skirts, flinging clothes through the air
like a madwoman and sending my cat
running for cover, trying to find
something compatible, pulling on nylons
only to discover runs and snags in them
and searching desperately through my
closets for matching shoes and handbags.
Not any more. I finally got smart,
bought coordinating outfits with
accessories to match and organized my
business attire so that I didn?t have to
rush around at the last minute.

Now, I not only have a nice wardrobe for
work but also a few formal dresses and
shoes for those special occasions. How
did I go from being a completely
disheveled crazy person to becoming
neat, prepared and organized? Simple,
last year I made myself a New Year?s
resolution that I would clean my closets
and update my wardrobe with chic, new
styles that I could mix-and-match and
which could be easily maintained. I made
a plan and I stuck to it.

The most difficult part was cleaning out
my closets but I hired a consultant and
together we spent an entire afternoon
making piles of clothing, shoes and
accessories. We laughed. We cried. We
hugged and finally we succeeded in
reducing my inventory to a comfortable
amount that I could then work with. It
also freed up precious closet space for
my new additions. What I didn?t have to
dispose of was donated to a local
women?s shelter.

Then I figured out a budget to allow for
enough money each month to purchase new
business attire. I decided to try
shopping online and found a wonderful,
vast selection of plus size shops online
that catered to the full-figured woman.
I began to select items that would
complement each other in brands, styles
and colors.

One month I would dedicate to dresses
and skirts, followed by blouses, tops
and sweaters. The next month would be
shoes, hosiery and undergarments, then
on to jackets, blazers and coats. I did
this each month and my wardrobe has now
grown to include a fabulous collection
of fashionable and flattering clothing
that I absolutely adore!

I finish my coffee, rinse out my cup,
leisurely get dressed, feed the cat and
go to work.

Now, I not only have a nice wardrobe for work but also a few
formal dresses and shoes for those special occasions. How
did I go from being a completely disheveled crazy person to
becoming neat, prepared and organized?
