Dr. Ben Barry & Consumer Buying Habits
“…Purchasing demand is no longer fueled by creating insecurity in consumers…”, When I heard this comment from Dr. Ben Barry, I was pleasantly floored! After getting up, I thought, “his research focused on the shopping habits of North American in North America and Chinese women in China without disabilities, but it would be great to create a sample group of women with physical disabilities and get their feedback on this topic.
Thanks Laura for such a great video! Laura edits the blog, For Those About To Shop, it’s a great blog you should check it out. Here’s the video, I hope you like it!

Luv This Look: Business Causual For Seated Body Type
I Luv this business casual look. It can be dressed up or down by changing the footwear and accessories. All it needs is your favorite V-neck cami underneath the H&M tunic to complete the look. The superstar of this look is of course the IZ Adaptive trench, designed for the seated body type. As you can see it’s cut shorter in the back and is extended in the front with no bulk or bunching, Luv it! If you are a seated body type I always suggest building your basic wardrobe with brands designed specifically for the seated body type. There is no substitute for well tailored clothing. Click on the picture and it will take you to my Polyvore site for brand and pricing info. Remember, Luv What U Wear!

It’s All In The Print
I luv all of the prints this season; from graphic to ethnic to florals. When balancing your body type prints are the perfect way to add volume to the smaller area of your body. I especially luv print bottoms for wheelchair users who are smaller on the bottom and have lost muscle tone in their thighs and legs. If you tend be bigger on the bottom and smaller on the top then stick to fun prints on top and darker solids on the bottom, this helps to visually balance your body.
Take a look at these cool prints at Top Shop!
