Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel – Because no one is too fat for a dress

Anti-chafing Gel
I wear dresses because I feel too fat for shorts.
There. I said it.
It’s not my keen fashion sense or my desire to dress up every single day. It’s my overly ripe, pear shaped hips. And ass. And thighs.
I live in Florida and there is no freaking way I can endure 100+ temperatures in jeans. No matter how fat my thighs are. That leaves me with skirts and dresses. Or nudity (which I hear is frowned upon in the Sunshine State).
Because dresses – especially this season’s maxi dresses – are my go to outfit for camouflaging thunder thighs, I am always amazed by women who tell me that they don’t think they can wear dresses because they are too heavy.
That’s like a super model telling you she doesn’t wear a bikini because she’s thin.
Why, oh why, were all of my female friends dismissing my oh so flattering fashion advice?
Oh. Right.
Chafing.
Summer 2009 Trend: 27 (Maxi) Dresses

Purple Maxi Dress
I am a late convert to the maxi dress trend. Maxi dresses were all the rage last summer and spring, but I always assumed that the super long length would be too much for my petite frame.
This year maxi dresses are back and I have fully embraced maxi dresses for the summer. I encourage – no, I implore you – to do the same.
What is a maxi dress?
It has nothing to do with feminine hygiene and everything to do with wearable style.
A maxi dress is basically a really long dress. But we’re not talking floor length formal gowns. A maxi dress is a very casual look that can replace your shorts and t-shirts. You can dress it up or keep it super casual, depending on your accessories (because shoes and jewelry can change an entire outfit), and it becomes appropriate for just about any everyday occasion.
The best thing about a maxi dress is that it flatters a multitude of figures. It is perfect for hiding flaws from the boobs on down. Maxi dresses are also one of the most comfortable trends to come out since someone decide yoga pants were a fashion statement.
They are as comfortable to run around in as sweats without, you know, being sweats.
You can get maxi dresses in any color, solids or prints, in absolutely every size. The biggest thing to watch is the length. Ideally, a maxi dress should hit at your ankle bone.
You can find maxi dresses at every price point. Find a few of my favorites after the jump.
