Shopping for the perfect dress can sometimes be stressful because, if you’re like most women, you worry about your arms being exposed or the muffin top being on display. I've recently put on a few pounds, and for this reason I am now more body conscious than ever. I guess I should go ahead and consider myself plus size as I now wear a size 10-12. When I shop for the perfect dress, I first consider the occasion, then the structure of the dress, and color. Did I mention how much I hate wearing black? I know most consider black to be "the" slimming color (I don't disagree on this), but vibrant colors are so much more fun and tend to make you stand out more. Take a look at a few cute summer dresses I found at Goodwill.
