Before I became an “influencer” … I worked full-time as a wardrobe stylist for five years. I dressed countless women of all shapes and sizes, mostly women with fit issues who were size 10+. It’s safe to say, I know how to dress curvy women, even though I have no curves.
During my shopping sessions, it was common for women to burst into tears… out of frustration; frustration that nothing fits their body the right way. I always had go-to brands that I knew would work in these situations. Not Your Daughter’s Jeans or NYDJ was one of them. NYDJ makes jeans for REAL women; women with curves. The jeans fit and flatter all different body types, even the most unique shapes.

Not Your Daughter’s Jeans
A bit more about NYDJ (available at Bloomingdale’s)… Their jeans are incredibly soft and comfortable. They retain their shape, AND they make you look one size smaller! They come in petite and plus sizes too. I linked some plus-sized favorites below.
If you are ordering a pair for the first time, be sure to size down as they run large. The jeans I’m wearing above feel more like pajamas than jeans and would be so lovely to travel in.

Accessories
A bunch of you asked about these Argento Vivo earrings from Bloomingdale’s in one of my recent YouTube videos. Aren’t they so chic and modern? I love them! And, Quay sunglasses are now a go-to as well. Their aviators are the best! I showed a couple of different pairs of shoes with this look just to give you options. The belt I’m wearing by Salvatore Ferragamo is reversible!

A huge selection of NYDJ is available at Bloomingdale’s including plus-sizes! I linked some of my favorites below. Bloomingdale’s remains one of my favorite places to shop! I love the in-house brands like Aqua, and the selection of modern, sophisticated, and interesting pieces.

THANK YOU FOR BEING REAL AND ADDRESSING REAL STYLE ISSUES. I AM 50+ WITH CURVES. NORMALLY I WEAR A SIZE 12 – 14. CAN YOU ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF WEARING A BELT WHEN YOU HAVE SOME “SPARE TIRE” ISSUES AROUND YOUR MIDDLE. IN MY PRE-MENOPAUSAL LIFE, I ACTUALLY HAD A DEFINED HOUR GLASS FIGURE AND WORE BELTS WITH CONFIDENCE. NOW I TEND TO WEAR TUNIC STYLES A LOT (LIKE ALL THE TIME) AND I JUST FEEL FRUMPY. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HARD WORK YOU PUT INTO YOUR CHANNEL AND NEWS LETTER. I FOR ONE LOVE IT!!!
I’m so sorry you are feeling frumpy, Dana. And, how cruel is it that after all these years of periods, menopause brings a spare tire!! UGH… Thank you for being so open and real and sharing your story with all of us!!! Erin xo
I love everything you wore..☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺
Thank you!
