Welcome to the November 2017 issue of Queen Size Magazine. I know y’all are not ready to hear this but I feel it is my duty to remind you..... Time to get ready for the holidays.... Sorry, I know, it seems like jut a couple of months ago that we were all sitting at the Thanksgiving table, or opening gifts and even screaming Happy New Year. Times sure does fly doesn’t it? Well the fall season is amongst us so you know what that means! Time to clean out those closets, pack away the summer wear and replace them with something more suitable for the cooler weather. Y’all already know my go to is sweater dresses and boots. What’s yours? Whatever it is, it’s time to go shopping for it. This is actually my favorite time of the year. The weather is not too hot and not too cold. I certainly hope you enjoy what we have put together for you all in this issue. As always, thank you all for your support. We are six years in and still going strong; all thanks to you. We would love to hear your feedback. Email us at queensizemagazine@gmail. com and let us know what you like, don’t like and/or want to see in future issues. We value your opinion.
