Plus size luxury shoppingย doesnโ€™t need to be rushed unless you purchase from a limited collection release, and many people are fighting for the same pieces. If you are shopping for classic pieces, take your time with it. You can take as long as you need to make your decisions.

My favorite form of luxury is what I like to call โ€œquiet luxury.โ€ When everyone doesnโ€™t know what you are wearing, and if you know, you know.

Luxury doesnโ€™t need to be loud and expressive unless you want it to be.
