I found myself on the way to becoming a couch potato. Imagine me sitting on the couch eating and watching TV. While that did not make me a plus size woman, I find myself enjoying these activities. My best friends and relatives will never complain about the way I live my life. They know I am a hard worker and a brilliant writer.

My cousin Susan from Hawaii sent me an adorable sun dress that was 2 sizes too small. I thought about a smaller me fitting into this sun dress. I decided to put the dress down in the box and went about my daily routine. After several days of going through my regular routine, I stopped and looked at the dress. I started to wonder if I could really fit in this dress. After much thought, I decided I can do this. I can get off that couch, get rid of those snacks and strive for something better. I start replacing my couch time with busy work. After a while, I realize the irony that a simple clothing mistake can make a change in any woman's life.

Every woman wants to look fabulous. For some women, the weather makes it difficult to find that fabulous look. In cold weather, everyone needs to wear boots, scarves, cardigans, jumpers, and thick and heavy outwear. For some young women, this clothing can be fun. They can mix and match items for that sophisticated look even though they are layered in clothes. For a plus size woman like me, those items tend to be more annoying than fun. I tend to have a "heavy look" even before I wear something thick.

Then I found a material that is light but warm, and 'voila', I succeeded in making a fashion formula. I only need to apply a simple top and a jumper! I look sophisticated, which is becoming the most important expression in the fashion world. I both need and want to look sophisticated, not only to impress people but for self-satisfaction. If I wear something fabulous and look classy while wearing it, I know it will be good for my health!
