Curvy-shurvy

When I think of my favourite foods , no single dish comes to my mind . In fact I think , I kind of liked different dishes by different people and lots of childhood memories attached to it.

Though , for us , curves blessed women wearing horizontal stripes is a wee bit tricky but , if you apply a little logic , you could really kill it.       Of course , everyone is wearing stripes  as it is a big trend these days and why should your size be a hindrance . Just choose wisely and enjoy being the fashionista among your peers. I have created a few looks , you could take clues from these as well....
