Dating? Wouldn't it be nice to have a wardrobe of date-worthy clothes that would really flatter your plus size figure?
Yes, I know he loves you for yourself. He was drawn to your lovely personality in addition to your looks. Then again, it wouldn't hurt to make the most of what you've got and watch his jaw drop when he sees you.
A full wardrobe makeover can be very expensive. Then again, you don't need to fill your wardrobe to the brim with new outfits. All you need is a capsule wardrobe of 10 well chosen pieces (clothes and accessories) for all your dates.
The main thing you should take note of is that every piece should be versatile and can be combined in many ways for many looks.
Interested?
These are my top 10 picks.
1. A fitted dress in a color that flatters you, which hugs you curves.
Go for color. Pick one that makes you look radiant, not sickly. No matter how much you love that outfit, if the color does nothing for you, skip it. Keep in mind that you are building a capsule wardrobe, so pick only items make you look amazing. Avoid loose dresses. They would only make you look fat. Go for one that hugs your curves and nips in your waist.
2. A low cut top in a different color from your dress.
I'm sure there is more than one color that flatters you. Find another color that makes you look amazing and get a sexy top in that shade. That top can go with a myriad of bottoms for many different looks. Invest that gorgeous top that makes you look amazing.
3. A pair of jeans.
Get one cut to fit the plus size woman.
4. 1 long elegant black skirt.
That is a feminine basic that can take you to a concert, a dinner date or anywhere that requires elegant dressing. Avoid anything frilly as frills add volume which is what you would want to avoid. A silk skirt that hugs your curves would be ideal.
5. 1 black dress in a length you are comfortable in, which makes you look amazing. It could have a plunging front if you are proud of your cleavage, or it could show off your back if you have smooth, beautiful skin.
6. 1 faux fur lined leather jacket. That is sleek, chic and utterly gorgeous. Not to mention, warm enough for cold days or nights out.
7. 1 sexy top that shows off your cleavage, or your shoulders. For versatility, make this one in a neutral color which you look great in.
8. 1 pair of sexy high heel shoes. Hey, this is a date wardrobe and high heels make a girl even sexier.
9. A pair of boots. Make these a chic pair and wear them with total confidence.
10. Large Jewelry. Nothing insipid. One large item creates more impact than lots of tiny jewels that disappear on you. Proportion is everything, so make your jewelry plus size as well. You can wear chunky bracelets, chandelier earrings and impressive necklaces much better than your skinny sisters. Real jewels, especially large items, can cost a fortune. Go for cubic zirconia jewelry instead. These are so much more affordable, and just as stunning.

Freshmen girl and a senior guy?
By: Megan | 08-09-2008
Would it be bad for a freshmen girl to date a senior boy? I really like this guy, and he seems to really like me too. He takes up for me and everything, and he's almost gotten into a fight protecting me. I've always been really good for not letting guys take advantage of me. If i don't want to do something im not going to do it, and thats that. People have always told me that im really mature for my age so i don't think that would be a problem in the relationship. Please let me know what you think..ASAP! thanks sooo much everyone.

Where to go from here questions of a confused guy
By: LiveFast2011 | 02-03-2008
Ok sorry for some reason this didnt work the first time. Alright Ive pretty much fallen in love with a girl ive known forever and i am getting signals back from her but not exactly sure how to go about advancing things the situations.....complicated. Some background:Im a Preachers Son and she used to go to the church we attended before there was a big conflict and it split. We went one way her family stayed put. That was 3 years ago i hadnt seen her since, but than suddenly i got to high school and saw her and she...well she got absolutely beautiful. Come 2nd semester i find out i have 4th period with her and we sit right beside eachother. Now we started to catch up and she is just amazing, she always makes me laugh and shes one of 2 people that ive ever met who can make me smile no matter what. I always am messing around with her making her smile and laugh. Theres been some times when ive felt a spark but you can never trust that. One of her freinds keeps tellin me i should ask her out because she thinks shes keeping me open as an option but she doesnt really talk to her that much so i have no idea. All i know is that im in love with her and that i make her happy. If i dont get into one of the service academies than were Both going to the same college and we go to some of the same camps every summer. I just dont know if i should jump right into a relationship with her, having dropped off the face of the planet and just showing up 3 years later. I also dont even know how she really feels about me so i dont really want to bust in guns blazing. I just need some advice on how to carry on and how to find out her feelings without totally screwing myself over. THanks just ask if you have any questions about this. Josh
