Oy Vey!*
By FrancescaThe sale at MonifC is ending today and Francesca has not told you about it yet! She offers her most sincere apologies!
MonifC is the designer of plus-size clothing for the woman with such flair that it is as if she says “hello world, here is my flair! And now here am I!” Many of their designs require an attitude of uber-superfantastic proportions – on the order of Queen Latifah – to carry off. However, they also have some designs which those of us who are merely self-confident can also wear with pride and style.
I like this silk blouse. Until the end of the day, it is marked down from $218 to less than $56! It is still available in Dusty Gold (shown here) in sizes 14/16 and 18/20.
What I, Francesca, particularly admire about this blouse is that it offers a feminine and sexy option for those of us with less-than-perfect upper arms. See how it shows off the silky-smooth skin of the forearm while hiding the luscious but private lumpy-squishies? And the flared sleeves and beading are pretty, too.
Happy shopping!
xoxo, Francesca

That’s a great blouse, Francesca. However, the forearm is the piece in between the elbow and the hand, which is covered by the long sleeves in that blouse. The part showing in that blouse is the top of the upper arm. I do really like your description of the “luscious but private lumpy-squishies!” :D

Francesca thanks Pencils for the correction!
Yes, I think lumpy-squishies is the scientific term. :-)

I suppose it’s true that everyone has different tastes and this shirt illustrates that. There’s no way in heck you’d get that shirt on me. The bell sleeves just look shapeless to me, even with the cut out. And shirts with cut outs in the upper arms always just screamed tacky to me.
If I were to shell out the big bucks for Monif C, this is the piece I’d get
