An Interesting Take On Recycling Clothes
I will be honest, there have been times that I thought of giving up on fashion. The lack of stores to shop in and old styles made it very frustrating but I can honestly say I have never been this desperate!
Sorry, if you can't see it clearly it is mens underwear cut into a halter!

Are Sleeves Too Much to Ask For?
Okay, I have been biting my lips and can’t any longer! Why oh why are so many plus size dresses sleeveless?
I can honestly say I don’t know many women, plus size or not who like to bare their arms. Unless you are Michelle Obama, most women tend try to hide the arm jiggle.
Obviously women are buying them because they are in the stores year after year after year. Could this be a case of having little to no choice, as typical with plus size clothing options (especially in Canada). My thoughts are women are buying them because “it fits” and it satisfies a specific need, as opposed to buying something because they “love it” and “it is exactly what I was looking for.”
Okay, sure as the sales persons suggests, “wear a shrug”. I am sorry, being large and living in Ontario where the humidity makes your make-up melt and your hair frizz so you look like a Chia pet, adding layers is NOT an option! Well, alright there is one exception where I wouldn’t mind wearing a shrug and that is with a Maxi Dress, love them!
Designers, love the fabrics, love the colours but is a simple sleeve too much to ask for?
Here are couple of cute options of dresses with sleeves from SWAK Designs:

One Flaw In Women
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding. Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
Don't ever forget your worth!
