Throw on a Belt If you decided to skip rule number one (as I admittedly have on occasion), and find yourself feeling shapeless in a roomy maxi, a belt can be your best friend

Plus Size Boutiques: Do Not Sleep on Them Beyond the names on this list, there is a whole world of independent plus size boutiques worth finding and following
