In Living Color
Have you ever heard the expression “Can’t see the forest for the trees.” Â Sometimes we’re who too involved in the details of a problem to look at the situation as a whole. Â It doesn’t matter what our problem is. Â Whether it’s love, money or health. Â For curvy women it’s comes when we think of wearing color.
Spring is fast approaching and it’s time to ditch those black dresses and add some color. Â I know some plus women shy away from color for fear they’ll draw more attention to our size. Â Curvy girls have been trained that black is slimming. Â I’m here to say that a well made dress can be slimming even in color.
I found this orange (red aurora) sheath dress while online shopping.  It’s from plus size label Arthur S. Levine found exclusively at Nordstrom.  I’m glad I got it.  The website’s picture doesn’t do this beauty dress justice.  I really wanted to add more bright colors to my closet in an effort to help with my self diagnosed seasonal affective disorder.  In speaking with a friend she said that she doesn’t wear colored dresses because she doesn’t want to be the center of attention.  I told her being plus size often times we’re the biggest person let alone women in the room.  We are already the center of attention.  A little color won’t make a huge difference.
This Arthur S. Levine dress comes in many colors. Â Three of them bright and ready to usher you into Spring. Â The other 2 are darker colors and are just lovely. Â I under not everyone is ready to walk into a room and say “I’m here” without opening their mouth, lol. Â Whatever color you choose to wear just do what you wanna do in living color
I added a metallic shoe (similar)  and a bright purse (similar) to complete my look .
