Accessorizing Tips for Plus Sizes

I admit it! I LOVE accessories! When in doubt you can always wear plain, classic clothing with fabulous accessories. The right ones can even make jeans and a white tee look like something special.
The purpose of accessories is to finish off and complement your look. If you are plus sized, your accessories should also be scaled larger. Your handbags, jewelry and other accessories should be scaled in proportion to your body size.
Don’t avoid belts if you are plus sized – they can instantly update a look. You can wear your belt anywhere from your waist to your hips – wherever it looks best on you. There are some fabulous chain belts available.
If you love clothes and accessories like I do, it can be easy to go overboard. I usually stick to one bold or trendy accessory of piece of jewelry and wear more classic or traditional pieces to fill out the look. For example, if I wore big hoop earrings (which I do quite often), I wouldn’t add a big chunky wooden necklace or an arm full of bangles. We’re not going for the gypsy look (well I’m not, not usually anyway….).
Here is a rule of thumb I learned years ago that I still use. When in doubt, remove on accessory.
