    I like the layer shrug. Looks like a great item for hiding bra straps on dresses and tops where the straps are a bit too thin or the arm openings a bit too large.

    I really love the “Classic Surplice Neck Dress”. I would wear this dress to work and then go out in the evening in the same dress! I love the flattering neckline. The fabric of this dress accentuates the curves. I love to wear a dress where I feel that I can show off my curves with confidence!

I’m thrilled to see a blog and such a fantastic store being all about us big beautiful women! I am now a follower for sure of this adorable blog and will be a customer of SwakDesigns (which I love that name).
    There were SO many cute outfits there that would make me feel all diva’ious but my most favorite item was the Alicia Black Dress. Which I plan on buying as soon as I can. It’s so young and hip, love it!
    So whether I win or not, I’m just thrilled to have found this blog and SwakDesigns. I’m way too happy for 3:43 a.m. in the morning aren’t I? lol

Stop Biting the Tail You’re Chasing

Tolerance
"No matter in what situations we find ourselves, when we don’t have so many opinions and preferences we naturally experience more peace of mind. We feel more agreeable, more comfortable, and more able to fit in with others. When we are more tolerant, not only do our minds’ stability and experience of meditation improve, but the conduct of our body, speech, and mind also improves because we stop being so reactive."
