The Price of Beauty

OK Curvy divas as Joan Rivers would say, "Can we talk?"  I mean real talk from one curvy diva to another! You and I both know that it is great to find good deals on the clothing and accessories we buy.  Heck, it's fabulous when we find a bargain on anything within a budget we can afford!

Take for example from the master of all foundation garments, Spanx!  

the Bra-llelujah bra:




For some things, I'm sure that you are willing to pay, within reason-and at the right price of course, to own an item you really love, desire or need! For the plus size diva, our reality is, sometimes we have to pay more for an item of clothing than the regular size woman does.  While I don't mind doing that for an item that is absolutely a "need", I don't necessarily do it all of the time, unless in my head I'm telling myself "you deserve this"!  "And we do don't we?" (stage whisper!)

So clothing we usually don't mind paying more for, are foundation garments including brassieres; as well as shoes; and even hosiery (you still wear them right?).  Other items us divas usually don't balk at paying more for are that great suit or jacket and let's not forget a really good pocketbook (handbag)!

Although we are willing to pay for the price of beauty we do love a great bargain!

So we hunt around until we find:

and then we may even pick up one more for the great bargains we find!

Wearing Red

It's Valentine's Day again and I'm sure many of you curvy divas are wondering what to wear tonight?  Some of us have plans, but others will keep it low keyed at home...or not! Whatever you do curvy divas, I found some great suggestions on Elle.com!  They featured RED , in everything, accessories, clothing, make up, even underwear!  Here are my favorite picks! I LOVE this dress! The silhouette is beautiful and will flatter most body types!  I checked and this item doesn't go larger than a size 12 by the designer, and they are out of this style at Neiman Marcus, however, it's a great look and you can find something similar elsewhere!  If it is too long, find a shorter length.

This beautiful dress is also not available in larger sizes. It goes to...

The Best Hair Color for You

You choose your outfit with care, down to the shoes you wear for that particular look.  You put your makeup on, and now it's time for your hair.....why is it not looking its best?  Everything that you do in trying to style it, is just so wrong!  You're ready to scream or pull your hair out!!!! Have you ever had a bad hair day?  I know I have, more than once!  Usually, if I'm lucky, I'll have time to wear a hat, a wig or pin my hair in a way to make it work!  It doesn't matter who you are, for every woman, if your hair isn't at its best, you will not be too ! When you have your hair, as some might say "did" or "done" you know you will be at your fabulously curvy best !  One of the  things I like to do is color my hair. Yes, it's chemical, so I guess I'm not totally au naturel!  You can try a rinse, which is a way to temporarily color your hair with a new look, or you can use a permanent color and rock your hair the way you want! ...
