Stacy Montgomery - ArticlesStacy Montgomery, VP of sales for SWAK designs (http://www.SWAKDesigns.com) has built her career around her passion, which is embracing her own unique beauty and healthy, plus-sized body. She says: "I have always been full-figured, and I am a great looking size 16. I am healthy, beautiful, and proud to be me!" SWAK Designs covers everything from "the little black dress" to everyday fashions and outerwear.
Prioritizing the Beautiful YOU – Movement and MoreYes, all week long we drive our kids from soccer to band to friends, etc., etc., etc., while we literally sit behind the wheel of the car, growing our bodies bigger and bigger and becoming more and more frustrated with how we look – and more importantly, how we feel. And then we wonder, “Why don’t I have any energy?” Living Large In A RecessionBy now every single one of us has felt the crunch and has had to make adjustments in our budget and our day-to-day spending, and that is as it should be at a time like this. But just as importantly, we MUST keep up our spirits and rejuvenate ourselves along the way in order to avoid the endless worry and drama that could easily take up residence in our homes. Rip Diets - Long Live Healthy LivingFor many of us, losing weight has been the distracting focus of much of our lives. It has been our limiting, lying nemesis. Our mind says, IF ONLY I were thin . . . IF ONLY I could lose weight. Ironically, the problem with this thought, from the very first moment, is that weight simply does not get lost. Plus Size SwimwearThose who, despite confidence in our charm, full-figured beauty and everyday pizzazz, honestly wish that swimsuit season would be reduced to three days on a deserted tropical island. Why? Because quite simply, it’s hard to accent your best features and delicately hide your frailties and flaws when clad in only a one piece sheath, or worse, that itsy bitsy polka dot bikini. Plus Size LingerieThere is a sentence I repeat probably a hundred times a day. I say it to myself, I offer it to my coworkers, and I remind others of its veracity constantly. That sentence is, “Beautiful women come in all shapes and sizes.” For those of you who read this blog regularly, you’ll know that owning that idea wasn’t always easy – it took some work. Accessory Report for the Plus Size Woman!For the plus size woman, accessorizing is NOT about hiding. In fact, it’s really the opposite. It’s about standing out a little in the crowd and adding that special piece of pizzazz to everything we wear. For me, it says that I took the time to look absolutely fabulous in whatever I’m wearing and celebrate my individuality! Role Models for a Real World: Tyra Banks, Oprah, Wynonna and MeThere’s a certain magic that comes with all celebrities – obviously. They are dynamic. They are engaging. In fact, even though we never meet them, they often become role models. Through their work, they invite us to look into ourselves and find the magic inside each of us. For plus size women, these role models also have something that we often have very little of – confidence. Mirror, Mirror on the WallWhat do we see when we look in the mirror? Do we see someone else’s idea of what we look like? Or do we see our true selves? I often wonder why Snow White’s stepmother didn’t see the true image looking back at her. And that made me think about how I had missed my own true image in my reflection for a long time. I simply didn’t see the truth that beautiful women come in all shapes and sizes. There’s No Place Like Home – Finding Your Favorite Plus Size RetailerSpring is my season. I love the pastel colors and the scent of things blooming around me. So for me, finding a few great retailers that carry great looking clothes in my plus size is just part of my annual wardrobe renewal and personal celebration. And quite simply, I don’t want to be patronized as a “big girl” and forced to wear styles that are – well, style-less. Fashion Comes Home to the White House – Creating Your Own Fashion LegacyThere is an enormous buzz around our nation, and even perhaps around the world, about what Michelle Obama will wear to the inauguration today. It’s an amazing piece of a historic event – the role that FASHION will play – and rightfully so. The endless newsreels playing for the last few weeks have been looking back at past first ladies and the styles and colors of their inaugural ensembles. What a day to be a dress maker!
