How to avoid the male muffin top – 3 rules for dressing Flabulously

For most of my adult life I’ve found it challenging to find clothes that are fashionable and comfortable in my size. Things have got much better  – with sites like Jacamo and High & Mighty (part of the same chain now) providing outfits that will fit most sizes.  However part of the shopping experience for me is…

What do you blog about when ‘Life gets in the way’ ?
