--> As I was walking to my car this afternoon a young lady yelled out her window and said she loved my dress.
--> As I was walking to work several months ago a lady stopped me on the sidewalk and asked me where I got my dress.
--> On the way to a meeting one morning another woman told me she loved my dress and asked where I got it.
--> In the airport I was told I looked "so couture."
--> I've been asked if I took fashion classes.
I have three things to say:
1. I don't wear pants often (every blue moon) because they don't flatter my body.
2. I don't believe you have to spend a lot to look great; it is all about the fit. If you can find something that fits your body and flatters your curves then you'll feel great; therefore, you'll look great!
3. Below are some of my favorite dresses (all of which are under $20) that I've all gotten compliments on, but my favorite isn't below because that's for another post!
1. Color block dress I bought for $18 at Ross Dress for Less.
2. Light and flowy coral dress perfect for the spring. I purchased las spring for $16 at Ross
3. A very light Miss Tina patterned dress that gathers at the waist. I bought it for, you'll never guess, a $1 at Wal*Mart.
4. An office-friendly outfit that transitions to a cute night-out dress. I matched it with a belt I already had instead of the default black patent leather belt that came with it. I purchased it for $16 at, yup you guessed it, Ross.
5. Last but not least, my favorite summer dress. It has pockets and is 100 percent cotton. It came with the brown leather belt all for $14 at Ross.
Remember that you don't have to spend a lot to look expensive. I refuse to purchase anything over $20 and I still get dozens of compliments. Just this week I have gotten two compliments and it is only Tuesday. Just be comfortable with what you select and wear it like you mean it!

Looks I Love
With the warmer weather and living in Charleston I have been itching to spruce up my wardrobe a little. I have been browsing around for some new Spring pieces and came across a few favorites. I found that dresses with an A-Line cut work best for me and since I am plus size dresses that flaunt my curves are also best. In addition I like dresses that cinch at my waist.
1. This Abstract Chevron Dress from Avenue.com is perfect for work or a casual dinner.
2. I would also wear Monifc asymmetrical dress to the office, but it is perfect for a night out too.
3. This dress sports my alma mater's pattern (houndstooth) and for me this pattern never goes out of style and never will so Monifc hit it out of the ballpark with this night out look.
As I have became more professional and spend most of my time in an office, I tend to wear more neutral colors and it shows in my preferences. These shoes from Heels.com are great for the different seasons in Charleston and some can even be wore year round (or at least by me).
