What Not to Wear, Part 1

“And I want women to be modest in their appearance.
They should wear decent and appropriate clothing
and not draw attention to themselves
by the way they fix their hair or
by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes.”

1 Timothy 2:9

Or by wearing clothes that are too tight
or unflattering
or could get us featured in a “People of Walmart” post.

At the risk of pointing fingers at anyone–including myself, let’s talk about what not to wear for us curvy girls.

Really, you ask? What does that have to do with not being diet addicted? Stick with me here.

When we dress appropriately, we feel better about ourselves. And when we feel better ourselves, we’re more motivated to make healthy choices.

Girls, we are beautiful! Even with all our curves. But, let’s be honest, no one needs to see all our curves or ripples or bulges or…well, you get the picture.

Just in case you’re not getting the picture…

 

 

 

There’s a better way. I’m no fashionista, but I have learned a few things about dressing for my body type that I’d like to share with you in my next few posts.

And I’d love to hear from you secrets you’ve learned along the way to dress modestly and appropriately for your curves.

    Flowy fabrics! They go over my bulges without revealing them! ?

      Amen, Melissa! That should be one of our mottoes: Go with the flow!

        Good one. Agreed. I feel more artistic in flow clothes.

    lol! Had this conversation with a friend yesterday. These poor young girls these days. Have no idea what wearing something “flattering” is. I swear my girls watched so much What Not To Wear I can’t get dressed without Clinton or Stacy looking in the mirror with me!

      Laurie, yes! I thought of that show when I titled the blog. I loved watching that.

    Thank you for this! I feel so much more attractive in skirts. I’m sure nobody appreciates the outline of my rear end in jeans.

    And please, please avoid shirts that have words on them printed right across the middle. I just don’t want to “read” your bustline or belly.
