Much needed tips
Awesome! Saw this lovely lady on YouTube. Love her tips for a 50+, plus sized woman. I know how I should dress. The problem is trying to find what I need in the marketplace.

Wonderful!
I am a Plus Size woman who has been desperately wishing to obtain my natural taste for chic and elegance. I have been discouraged for many years that in order for me to obtain chic and elegance I would have to loose all of my weight first!
The problem with that is, I suffer from severe an Autoimmune disease effecting my thyroid (Hashimotos) so loosing weight at a drop of a hat is simply impossible to do like the average woman.
It has made me feel depressed and admit at times the urge to just say whatever and wear the jeans (or yoga pants) and big t shirt with the slogans.
I am so blessed I found Marie and even more grateful someone like herself wrote a book with Plus Size women in mind! I desperately wish this was a paperback or hardcover instead of an E-Book. Nonetheless I am grateful.
I am truly inspired to take care of my self by embracing what I have learned and apply it to my current body. Just because Plus Size women are Plus Size doesn't mean we too cannot learn to embrace being chic and elegant.
I highly recommend this book!

plus size! how to be chic and elegant
Informative. Helpful. A quick read and easy to understand. Some of the things she recommends I would never go for, but, this is just a guideline. Take it or leave it.

In this book the reader is able to obtain information regarding dressing for your body type. The author first describes the different body shapes (apple, hourglass, pear, etc.) and then in each section provides guidance as to how best to dress for your particular shape.
