Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

By Stacy Montgomery

What do we see when we look in the mirror? Do we see someone else's idea of what we look like? Or do we see our true selves? I often wonder why Snow White's stepmother didn't see the true image looking back at her. And that made me think about how I had missed my own true image in my reflection for a long time. I simply didn't see the truth that beautiful women come in all shapes and sizes.

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff - The Versatility of the Sweater

By Stacy Montgomery

The plus size woman is certainly one of the most creative dressers (and shoppers) in the fashion world. Putting together a wardrobe of great accent pieces to compliment a fuller figure, as well as all the basics every woman needs, is definitely a challenge at times.

What's Under Your Clothes? A Solid Investment in Confidence

By Stacy Montgomery

Despite the ever-present message of thin, thin and thinner, most executives (and even the average Joe or Jane on the street) would definitely say that when it comes to appearances, empowerment and confidence trump dress size every day of the week. That's why what we're all really selling, underneath our dress slacks, silk tops and expensive blazers, is self-esteem! The package it comes in is ...
