Does the Body Good

Happy Monday all!

I believe that every woman should own a “feel good” dress.  It’s a dress that instantly makes you feel like a million bucks when you put it on.  A “feel good” dress is all about you embracing your body and feeling comfortable in your skin.  I own a few of these dresses and I’m happy to add IGIGI’s  Nicolette Peplum dress to my collection.   Everything from the lace sleeves to the print makes it a winner in my book.  I own several IGIGI dresses, but this one is strictly for play, not work.  It’s definitely a dress I would wear when I want to show off and flaunt my curves.

IGIGI’s new Fall 2013 collection  continues their commitment to offering quality plus size clothing. The collection offers rich, bold hues and wonderful prints to accentuate your figure.   I’ve included some of their latest offerings for you to check out.  You never know, you might spot a potential “feel good” dress in there!

What is your ‘feel good” dress?

Have a wonderful day!

Casual Friday/Wake Up Call

TGIF all!

I want to apologize for the lapse in posting. I got sick on Monday and have been out of it until today.  I had been having stomach problems for the past few weeks and I just chalked it up to being lactose intolerant.  But on Tuesday, things got worse with severe abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting.  I knew then it was something more than just lactose intolerance.  After spending a few hours in the ER and an ultrasound, I learned that I have gallstones which where causing my symptoms.  The doctor advised me that I would have change my eating and adopt a low fat diet avoid further painful episodes.   So no more fried and fatty foods which much to my dismay, has been the majority of my diet.  It’s one thing to look good on the outside but it’s another to take shitty care of yourself  inside. I’m not gonna lie, eliminating a lot of foods that I love has been downright frustrating, but it’s a must.   I’ll still enjoy a french fry or naughty desert once in a while but just not every other day.

On a happier note, I feel better and what way to show that by wearing a great dress!  When I was contacted by IGIGI to review one of their dresses, I nearly did a somersault!  I’ve been a huge fan of IGIGI for a while now, so this was an awesome opportunity.  I picked the Isolde Belted Dress in Parisian Green because I wanted something different from the dresses that I normally wear.  IGIGI doesn’t shy away from the full figure, they embrace it.  The material is not flimsy or thin.  It’s well constructed and contours to your body but not constricting.  The shape of the dress definitely holds up during the day.  I could easily move around due the stretch in the dress. The dolman sleeves don’t swallow up the dress like some dolman sleeve dresses do. I didn’t feel like I had bat wings or extra material under my arms.  I like showing off my shape so this might be a little too fitted for some, but go up a size if  you want a looser fit. You will still look fabulous!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Labor Day/Monday everyone!

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of attending my friend Tawanda’s wedding. Tawanda is one of my closest and dearest friends. My heart swelled with  happiness seeing her walk down the aisle.  Tawanda  looked so beautiful and radiant!   I am so happy she found the her soul mate and wish them a lifetime of love!

Have a wonderful day!!!
