Since I did a post a while back on how to hide a muffin top , I’ve gotten a variety off comments on it. Some people left other suggestions, a few guys said "hey, don’t cover it up…we like it!" and someone tried to call me out for not giving fluffy girls any love. That one must be a misunderstanding though since hey, I’m a fluffynista myself.

The point of the article really was trying to state that whatever our size is, fit matters. Nothing is more important when it comes to our outfits than the fit. A "muffin top" is caused from wearing a bottom piece that’s too tight therefore causing your stomach/love handles to bulge over and that will never be cute.

MarieDenee on her blog The Curvy Fashionista expanded on the topic:

Accentuate the Positive

Now ladies, we all have our favorite assets, yes, even you! What are they? Do you love your waist line? Then rock cinched waist belts or dresses. Love your legs? Then show them off with shorter dresses! Basically, when you enhance whichever assets you like the best, your confidence will show through, allowing the Fashionista in you to shine! Don’t know your best feature? You probably already know without even knowing it! Ask yourself, what do you feel most comfortable in, then why? Chances are you will find a reason that relates to your best assets!
Me? I love my waist and my cleavage, so I opt for pieces that enhance those curves! I am comfortable and I feel good.

Camouflage the Flaws

We all have areas we don’t necessary hate, but do not love either, and that is okay! What you do is hide those flaws! By experimenting with shapes and colors, you will learn how to hide these “flaws” and accentuate those which work for you! Now, by reading this, you are no longer able to say that your whole body is a flaw- NOT ALLOWED!
I loathe my tummy and my handles, so you will often see me in a flowy top that flows away from the tummy area that has a v- neck and has an empire cut!

Meanwhile favourite pocket-friendly retailer Forever21 is set to launch a plus-size line on May 1st called Faith 21. I’m not too excited about the looks that they have previewed thus far, but hey, I love Forever21 so I’ll keep the faith

Much love ‘nistas,
