Spring is here and the 2008 season is bursting with color.
If you don't have at least one hotly colored item, you're missing out on a fun fashion trend for this Spring. Hot colors have been the rage on the showroom floors and there's no sign this trend is slowing down.
A versatile choice for your Spring wardrobe is a brightly colored shirt. You can pair it with black pants for a sleek look it a fun skirt either shorter for a more kicky look or a longer skirt to create a long sleek line.
While you're choosing a shirt, why not make it wrinkle-free? You can't go wrong with an easy-to-care-for poly-cotton blend that will be ready to go as soon as you pull it from the dryer. Other hot color choices for the Spring 2008 season are lime green shells, bold animal prints, especially zebra prints.
If you prefer something a little more conservative and you don't want to wear hot pink, you can still be in the front step of fashion by adding bright accessories. A small, yet brightly colored hair clip or some brightly hued earrings will fit the bill.
Get in on this fun fashion trend and brighten up your Spring wardrobe with some kisses of beautiful color!

Even a few years ago it was difficult for a plus size woman to find well-made clothes that were suitable for an office environment. Usually the styles that were offered the larger woman consisted of clothing that was simply larger around and little longer without giving any consideration to the actual design such as the arm holes may need to made bigger, the neck of the garment may need to accommodate a slightly larger lady within and this goes for business attire such as shirts, pants were a nightmare with crotches that were too short and jackets often pulled in the middle of the back because they simply weren't cut to fit a larger woman's physique.
One of the best developments for plus sizers is the proper cut of clothing to make it lay on a larger body in a way that is appealing and attractive
. The Flat Front Pant by Ingenuity is a prime example of the beautiful clothing that can be created when attention is paid to type of body the clothing is really being designed for. No more ill-fitting pants with fabric pulling in all directions - now you can get a really tailored-look and a flatter looking tummy area with the cut of these pants.
The pants are available in black, stone, navy, ivory and red. Choose two or three pairs of pants, add in a skirt and with the addition of a few of blouses and a jacket or two to mix and match - you can literally have a weeks' worth of outfits that look sharp for the office and will give a very professional appearance without spending your entire paycheck on clothing.
Don't settle for clothes that don't fit your plus sized body any longer! Go for clothing that is specially made to fit and enjoy the looks you get when you look good!

We just came back from shoe market in Little Rock yesterday. We looked at many new styles for fall delivery. We saw some of our favorites including Born, Clarks, Merrell, and Crocs. There are several new styles of Crocs coming out this fall including new colors in the popular
Mammoth style that quickly sold out last year. We are also planning on picking up Sperry Top Sider and should have new styles coming within the next month.
In addition to many shoes companies, there were also a few clothing brands. We were able to see new Alfred Dunner styles for September and November (looks great!).
Alfred Dunner's newest division Ruby Road was also there. Ruby Road is going to be a great new brand! It has a young look with great vibrant colors. We are excited about getting it in.
Next week we head to Dallas for another market. Any suggestions? Let us know!
