Boho Rock Chic- Coachella Inspired Outfit for Plus Size Women

boho rock chic butterly community

I recently had the opportunity to attend a Butterfly Community event themed – Coachella Unity Gathering with the dress code being boho rock chic, inspired by the actual Coachella event held in the US. Being a plus size woman does have its challenges especially in looking for the right outfit that not only fits you in all the right places, but is according to your style.

I had a hiccup myself actually when the top I bought from Cotton On still had its bloody security tag on! (Luckily i still have the receipt so i would need to go back to the store and screw them over!) I only found this out the next day- the day i was supposed to wear it, which left me no choice but to find another top to match with my boho pants which i got from Nichii.

Local Malaysian Brand Plusify Has Some Really Awesome Plus Size Dresses

The best local plus size store for chic and formal dresses in Malaysia (so far).

Finding for plus size dresses in Malaysia is NOT an easy task. Most curvy girls I know end up making their own tailor-made dresses because:

  • not many places cater to plus size women
  • The ones that do are limited in design or size
  • some ready made ones are just too expensive

Among all the places that I’ve looked at, I found that Plusify has some really cute choices and they cater up to size 5 XL! They have over 200 styles of clothes to choose from and their online stock is also increasing by the week. Continue reading

Curvy Fashion On A Budget- Vol 1.

curvy fashion ideas

People tend to ask me; “Do you shop every single week? Why is that every time i see you, you’re wearing something new?” Well to tell you the truth i have a tight budget for clothes and because of that, it forces me to be creative with my outfits and to mix and match in every way i can. So if you’re a curvy gal on a budget like me why not get creative with what you have.

The key is to try and error and get lotsa inspirations from either from magazines, instagram, pinterest or even by watching people on the streets.

For this particular outfit, there are 3 layers to it.

A spaghetti strap camisole,

A cardigan &

A cropped halter top Continue reading

4 Reasons Why Plus Size Women (or maybe just me) Dislike Wearing Bright Colours

Few days ago, i posted a historical moment on my Instagram. For the first time in my life, i actually wore YELLOW! And it wasn’t just a top that you could pair with some denim jeans.. nope.. i went all out with a bright yellow dress! Why is it such a big deal? Well, it’s kind of a step forward for me because i hardly wear bright colours at all due to some of the reasons that i’m about to list down. I’m usually a confident person with my personal style and choices, but this time was different.. i was actually nervous stepping out of the house… i kept asking my husband if the colour is alright… while walking towards my car i felt like everyone was starring at all my fats and rolls with disgust… which was weird because i’ve never felt so insecure…

A post shared by Lily Shah (@lilyeshah)

As i drove my car to work, it was already too late to change.. So instead, i decided to change my attitude and just fake my confidence for the day. At work, comments came pouring in.. “wow! So bright!”, “Oh my goodness so bright! Chinese say you can scare the ghost away with that!” ERRKKK! Well that didn’t boost my confidence at all! HAHA! But a friend of mine ensured that it was”OK LAH!” Wasn’t as bad as i made it seem, she said. Well anyway, that particular day inspired me to write this post. These are the reasons that i realised along the way on why most of us (plus size) women (or maybe just me) dislike wearing bright colours. Continue reading

5 Questions To Ask Yourself Before A Spa Session To Avoid Embarrassment

Most women will tell you that they love going to the spa to get pampered and just relax without having to care about anything in the world (at least for those few minutesla). So when i was invited to experience CHILL by Swasana Spa located in Impiana KLCC Hotel, i was ready to escape from work for a relaxing experience…. or so i thought.

As i was taken through the experience i realized a few things which inspired me to write this post. Imagine all the things that the spa therapist have to endure when they perform our therapy- like washing your feet and massaging your head. This was not the first time that i’ve gone for a spa treatment, but it was the first time for when i’m not actually on holiday; so i may not have been as ready as i thought i was. So i learnt a few lessons in order to avoid future embarrassment and came up with a few questions that i think you should ask yourself before going for a spa session.

Am i wearing the right type of clothes?

When i got the invite, they mentioned to dress ‘comfortable’. So i wore a simple casual black dress- you know, something that you can easily put on and take off.. I assumed that i would need to dress down and change into their robe or something. But once i arrived, i was glad to know that i didn’t have to strip naked, because the treatment that they’re treating me focuses on the legs, arms, back, shoulders and head. The treatment focuses more on reflexology and acupressure.. Not sure if it was the Chill Out treatment or Chill Classic. Anyway, it was something that i desperately needed in order to release all the stress especially on my shoulders.. Plus it saves me all the hassle the change and bathe after.. Continue reading
