Plus Size Influencer Pens Book of Fashion that Builds Self-Esteem for Women over 50

[Linda Peavy]

A new book states that looking your best at 50 and beyond can be just as easy as looking your best at 20, yes, even if you are a curvy woman.  Linda Peavy, style expert and head blogger of Cultured Curves: Sophisticated Style, Fashion, and Beauty for Curvy Women over 50, has answered a few prayers with her new book, The Cultured Curves Guide to Style for Mature Curvy Women, Volume 1.  

 

The ultimate style guide for mature curvy women, this captivating book provides a roadmap to developing an effortless style for mature women, including tips and suggestions on fashion, make-up, and skincare, and even leads on where to shop!  In many parts of the fashion industry, plus-size women are overlooked in the available inventory, style, and design aesthetics.  Peavy states, “The unique style needs of plus-size mature women must be considered at fashion houses without merely replicating what is available for younger counterparts!”

 

The book purports that when bodies and faces change, style must evolve with them.  However, mature women can find it much harder to change with age and get stuck in a style rut.  Fear can prevent women from trying something new.  The Cultured Curves Guide to Style for Mature Curvy Women, Volume 1,  makes learning or nurturing personal style easy with step-by-step guidance and fashion options.

 

Eleven chapters feature how-to advice on what to wear, how to wear flattering outfits, fashion basics, developing a signature style, lingerie, swimwear, shoes, accessories, anti-aging resources, and the best make-up routines for aging skin.  A special section of essays and affirmations encourages women to love the skin they’re in.  Over 200 photos showcase fashions modeled on curvy bodies and products that inspire women to look their best. This ground-breaking book will be available via am*zon.com. 

The book includes The Cultured Curves Retail Guide, which displays hundreds of stores offering plus-size clothing, make-up for mature skin, anti-aging products, and more.  The Cultured Curves Guide to Mature Curvy Style, Volume 1 features styles and advice from these partners:
