Being a Diva on a daily basis takes a great amount of dedication and many hours shopping. Each season new trends are either discovered or revisited. 2009 is gone but some trends just may carry over to 2010 so don’t remove them from your closet just yet.
1) Sheer
Wearing sheers are incredibly fashionable if done right. When you’re out shopping, look for double or triple lined sheer sleeveless shirts to layer under snug jackets.
2) One Shoulder
For beautiful plus sized women, consider some one shoulder dresses and tops. Just showing one shoulder can often highlight your outfit and show off your curves without showing them off. If you decide to go with this 2009 fashion trend, wear a pair of long pants or longer dress. It’s best to show off skin at the top of the body or bottom, never both.
3) Gray
Gray is a color that looks great on most body types, especially plus sized women. It can be used to layer underneath vests or jackets or as a standalone piece.
4) Ruffles
Ruffles were also a cool trend and very feminine. The trick is to get small ruffles that detail the neckline of shirts and cuffs. Small ruffling details can actually make you appear slimmer.
5) Metallics
Silvers and golds will continue to dazzle us in the most fashionable way. Expect to shine when entering a room with all eyes on you. Metallics are the perfect addition to your wardrobe because you can wear them to the club or an after five event.
