Pink Chiffon Sari

I simply love my pink chiffon sari. It is a soft pink with silver sequins in it I wear this to formal parties. Its blouse is sleeveless and low back. Pink reflects on my skin making me look soft and feminine. My husband bought this for me after we got possession of our house. For last two years we were very thrifty as we were paying installment for the house. I was cutting corners where ever possible. So this sari was my first good formal wear in a long time. And I was surprised and elated when my husband drove me to the sari shop and asked me to choose one for myself. I remember picking up an ordinary cotton sari. I almost cried when my husband picked up this sari and draped on my shoulder and asked how about this.

Shopping at Marshall’s

My favorite place to shop for women’s clothes is Marshalls, because I can get quality, stylish clothes for less. It is a huge store so I can maneuver around easily with my shopping cart. The dressing rooms are plentiful and clean. Marshalls carries name brand clothes, shoes, accessories pots and pans, dishes, and small appliances at a reduced price. Recently I’ve purchased several Lillyette support/minimizer bras there for less than $10.00 each, I bought Nine West dress shoes for about $9.00, and a set of Emeril cookware for about $50.00. I bought my daughter tops and shorts in the current style but I don’t remember the brand names, but each item was around $11.00. Middle class customers are very happy to shop there, but I’ve seen upper class people in the store (also there were BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus automobiles in the parking lot). Even folks without much disposable income could shop there without straining their budget. Marshalls not only has low prices in general, but they have lots of clearance racks for even greater savings. I haven’t seen them advertise but I do get their newsletters to keep me informed about their merchandise.

Thin Cotton Blouse

My favorite item of clothing is a thin cotton blouse with ¾ sleeves and a gently scooped neckline. It is done in an East Indian print, with many different colors, although turquoise is the dominant color. It also has some sequins on it in a nice pattern. It is machine washable and does not wrinkle when it dries. I bought it through a catalog called Catalog Favorites. I receive many compliments on it, and people always want to know where I got it. I wear it to go out or at work. It is what one might call “nice casual.”

Thrift Stores

My favorite place to shop for women’s clothing is the thrift store. I can buy designer clothes there without paying a designer price. They have separate racks of the better quality clothes that are in better-than-usual condition and often I have seen brand-new clothing at the thrift shop. I like to wear conservative clothing and I can find dresses that I like and pants that are comfortable. Also, when I gain or lose weight, I can get a big piece of a new-to-me wardrobe for under $20. Sometimes I have to have clothing for special occasions; for instance, our Vacation Bible School had a Hawaiian theme this year. I went to the thrift shop and got a Hawaiian shirt I could wear for that. It’s fun to shop at a place where you can buy the things you like without worrying about how much you are spending.

Sterling Silver Earrings

My favorite article to wear is a pair of earrings I bought in 1995. They are sterling silver with a detailed pecan leaf dangling from a pink turquoise stone. The stones are about the size of a dime, with a rounded curve to them. The leaves are an inch long. These earrings reach from my pierced ear down to the top of my neck and make a pleasant look and feel whenever I move my head. I consider them understated bling. I bought them in Juarez, Mexico in a mom and pop store just over the border. I wear these for job interviews, social events (except funerals), and in most of my family pictures.

My Favorite Piece of Clothing

Currently, my favorite piece of clothing is my Squee t-shirt. I bought it probably 7 years ago at a comic convention, and any time I travel, it always goes with me. It is black, and has the character being chased by a dinosaur on the front and it says “Squee” on the back. It is my favorite because it’s cute, comfortable, and gets lots of comments. Folks either ask what it is, or they know and are amused by it. I wear it to work on Fridays, I wear it shopping, I wear it out and about. I don’t wear it when I’m just running to the grocery store, or bathing dogs, because it is so precious to me. It isn’t even the sexiest thing I own, but it has lots of happy memories, and it makes my husband smile.

My Favorite Store

My favorite place to shop for women’s clothing is Lane Bryant. I love this store because it carries an array of different styles and sizes to accommodate every shopper’s needs. They carry pants, jeans, shirts, blouses, sweaters, night clothes, socks, shoes, underwear and Jewelry. I recently went there during their sale to get Jeans because I only buy jeans from 2 stores and they are my first choice. Lane Bryant has a sale once every 2 weeks and if you are a member of their mailing lists then you receive coupons and discounts by mail or email. Overall this is the store for me.

Make Your Own T-Shirts And Save Lots Of Money

If you are like me, you LOVE all the cool T-shirts now available with retro brands and icons on them. However, if you are also like me and plus-sized, you are probably sad that you can not normally find the T-shirts you want in your size. I have discovered a way to solve this problem and save money in the process. Make your own T-shirts. I buy my T-shirts at discount stores for about $6.00 each. The iron-on transfers will run about $10.00 for five of them. Therefore, for about $8.00, you can have a T-shirt that shows your own personal style for a lot less than you will pay in a retail shop, where they average $25.00 a piece. What is great about this too, is that the iron-on’s are for use in any inkjet printer, so you can let your imagination run wild!

Forever 21

Forever 21 is my favorite place to shop for womens clothing. It has great vratiy of cloths like, skirts dresses, and great shoes. It makes you really feel like your 21.

Little Black Dress

My favorite piece of clothing is a little black dress I own. I purchased it online through JC Penny at the end of the season 2 years ago and it was only $14.99. I only bought it because it was cheap and thought I may get some use out of it but it has become my favorite dress I own. It’s the perfect black dress for weddings and other dress up occasions. It’s casual enough to wear clubbing yet dressy enough to wear to formal affairs. I never worry about people noticing I already wore it before because I dress it up with different accessories and shoes and no one even notices. Every girl must own a little black dress and I have mine!
