Feeling relaxed.....

Today the boys wanted to go to the pools.... the cool breeze was not inviting to go into the water, so I decided to sit and watch them doing their flips and jumps...... lots of fun!
To my outfit: I am wearing a very "relaxed" outfit. its very comfortable and nice fabric. the pants are linen and I love that I can pull them up (to create slimmer legs) I added the orange wool belt to add color and style. An orange singlet to add color and the off white V-neck top  (lights colors are great for summer, white, ivory, coca, cream - stay away from black!! ).
These sandals I have had for years, bought them in Israel....  but as we say trends are always back.. so these type of sandals are never out of style.... it is only a matter of wearing the same style of clothes matching the look (boho, creative) long earnings are ideal for this look...

Linen pants -got mine in Switzerland -  similar style and material can be found in Witchery
woollen belt -  hand made - easy to get in  any markets or do it your self
singlet - from Glassons

Fashion tips for plus sizes

Be comfortable with what you wear.The most important ingredient in looking good in what you wear is feeling good and comfortable in it. A positive attitude towards your dressing sense and appropriate display of self-confidence through your clothes is very essential to appear stylish.


Although black always appears to make you look slimmer, try outfits with dissimilar colors. This would help in enhancing your personality and also add to the variations you can try with your looks.

If you have a heavy body but slimmer legs, do non feel embarrassed to show them off by wearing knee-length skirts, etc. In case your legs are not that slim – you still have many choices in how to cover them up and yet look pretty in your outfit. Why not consider an evening gown, trousers, long skirts etc.

 Wear appropriate undergarments to fit with your dress so that your body shape does not look disproportionate in a particular outfit.

Choose dresses that are flattering
knee lenght - one color
Empire waist dress

V-neck dress embellished
Wrap style dress

For heavy bodies it is always recommended to have shorter heels or wedges rather than the pencil shaped ones, mainly because a box heel would balance plus sizing body much better than a pencil heel.



For the office look
Get down to business with slimming black capris: simple yet chic, they demand a top that flatters your figure yet still looks professional. My number-one choice? The sleeveless wrap blouse  with its deep V-neckline, feminine ruching, and waist-defining lateral tie.
