I think our wardrobes are built upon choices, not limits.
Where are the fashion police that say to be my-best-self, I M U S T not swan about in glorious, L A R G E-print-florals, or hit exotic beach destinations in H O R I Z O N T A L stripes, or even highlight zones of my body in large B L O C K S of colour.
Where are they? Let them take a seat as I busy myself, dressing to look my fabulous self.
We are grown woman and we decide what we like to wear. We are not limited or defined by any other's opinion.
If you aren't a certain size, sometimes you're told you can't possibly wear that.
Well we are here to create our own liveS AND break any limiting rules, about what we can or cannot wear. After all, fashion cliches are made to be broken.
Let's create our own style rules and look pretty damn fabulous at the same time!
PLUS SIZE CLICHES TO BREAK, NOW
1.D O N 'T wear too many large prints!
F A B U L O U S florals - like this Swish Fashion Plus Size 44008 Gilded Poppy Jacket - or the Misty V Neck top below - are bountiful this season and too, too gorgeous, - to not be the stars of your winter wardrobe.
Why not dress either pieces with gold jewellery accessories, some on trend gold hoops and a chunky bracelet to match.
Stylist's Tip: Add a touch of bronze shimmer to your daily moisturiser to give your exposed skin a shimmer and warm winter glow.

2. D O N 'T wear horizontal stripes!
Horizontal stripes have been romanticised and glamourised throughout fashion history, they are timeless classics- I think even Cleopatra loved herself some horizontal patterns.
There is no denying the freshness of a perfect horizontal stripe, their thickness and colour is purely personal - I love navy and red, depending on my mood and the season.
AND you can be as adventurous or as classic as you dare!
3. D O N 'T wear anything oversized or shapeless!
For me a life of gorgeous florals, classic and not-so-classic stripes and wearing bright or monochromatic breezy oversized swathes of fabric, is a life well lived.
Live your best life in this gorgeous bright ensemble from Swish Fashion - the Long line overlay top, in ultra violet - perfect for an afternoon wedding soiree or elegant lunch to evening ensemble for your next vacation.
To wear what we want, should be everyones approach to fashion.
And I think our wardrobes are built upon choices not limits.
