Fashion

I'm not the world's most fashionable person.  Far from it.  Seeing that I'm slowly being put into classroom situations for my education program I have been trying to build up a more professional and stylish wardrobe.  For inspiration I frequent a couple of plus-sized fashion blogs: Bombshell Beauty and T Minus T Plus.

Recently, I've added a lot of dresses to my wardrobe, courtesy of Maurices.  They can be a little pricey, but they frequently have sales where you can get 20% your order or free shipping.  I once scored a dress for $13 when it had originally been over $50. 

Being a poor college student, I can't afford that much very often.  However, I really do recommend getting two good sets of pants and having them tailored.  At the very least hem them.  This is something you could even do yourself.  Shirts sometimes need to be shortened too.  I also find that the bust area for sleeveless items, most notably my dresses, will need to be modified.
