I've learned some new words used in Fashion, and gotten familiar with some I used to know! (like my pun - love that song!lol!) But seriously, it's always good to have an idea what some of these fashion stylists, magazines and bloggers are talking about when it comes to Fashion, don't you agree? So I've made a note of some of those popular terminology and shared them with you curvy divas!

Oxblood = Burgundy-like, blood red colors
On-Trend = Stylish, trendy
Chiconomics = living fashionably well, despite the economy [similar to Recessionista]
Recessionista = fashion trendsetter who doesn't let the economy stop their style
