The Leather Trend

I've heard nothing but talk about leather for this Fall season. It's included in many a designers looks on the Runway recently, and it pops in several magazines as well! How would you wear leather curvy divas? Would you dress it up, or down? Accessorize, or not? It's not the most functional material to wear, if it's not made well. And it can be the most stylish if you put your outfit together in a very chic way!

Here are some leather looks I liked enough to pin on my Pinterest board:

Ralph Rucci from Nina Garcia's pinterest board (WWD Mag photo)

I see myself in this look, with heels to carry off the length of the skirt. The boots, to party though, not work!

Chloe Quilted Leather Skirt from Bergdorf Goodmanfrom Elle.com fashion trend
This skirt, beautiful and I would wear it with a jacket for work, or a sheer blouse to party!

The look I just couldn't pull off:

Marc Jacobs Moda Operandi - Nina Garcia's Pinterest Board

This wouldn't look good on me, curvy hips and all! Plus, what exactly is this look supposed to be anyway?
Maybe worn with jeans, the leather tank/tunic might work for me?!

The Curvy Fashionista featured leather marketed to us plus size divas on her blog!

Oh yes, real or faux, we CAN rock leather too!

Curvy Looks: What I Wore In a Week

I like reviewing my Style-looks to see how my fashion has progressed, what clothing I intend to keep during my #Showmeyourcloset make over (more on this soon) and also just in case I have to re-think my style strategy when in work-mode. There are good days when my looks are on pointe, and those moments when I wonder what the heck was I thinking with a look that I wore! That may have happened to you as well at times curvy divas?! You know, when the clothing you wore makes you go...WTF?! This was not how I envisioned this look. I can't wait to get home to take it off!lol! Been there, done that so many times! haha

Vintage Vogue

In March of 2012 before I decided to create this blog, I shared my love for Vogue magazine on my d-foreverserenity blog with the article I am super-imposing below. I have this "thing" for magazines. I won't say obsession...I love the glossy pages, the colors, and usually read them from cover to cover....! I had so many magazines piled up, I had to get rid of them...and yes, regretted it the minute I did! Anyway, I'm so glad there are online choices now!!!! Takes up less place in my bedroom!lol! I have saved some of my favorite issues, and shared some style inspiration and observation below. These were my favorite looks from a Vogue magazine issue from August 2006 , six years ago in the past, I know, but I have tons of mags and I love flipping through the pages! These looks are so fresh today !! Vogue featured the color combination of "The Red is the new Black" - red being the new black at the time! Patrick Demarchelier, photographer and model
