What to Wear for Thanksgiving Dinner?

It's a dilemma for, perhaps, many women right now? The guys probably might worry about this too, but for now, we're focusing on us girls, right curvy divas?! I'm not going to a big formal affair, just dinner at my daughter's house with her fiance and my grandson.  It will be a family affair, just us, and them...and anyone else who might stop by!lol!


I'm loving this cotton sweater and jeans or dressed pants idea.  A scarf is a perfect layer to this outfit! It would mean I won't be too warm, or feel cold if the weather changes!

That's a good thing, when you don't have to get too dressed up for Thanksgiving Dinner. However, it's a special day and for some of us, we might want to look nice, wouldn't you agree?!  My youngest has already picked out her outfit which she showed me last night, a pair of teal blue leggings with blue tulle skirt and a teal tee shirt! Then she asks me, "What are you wearing mommy"?  I don't know.

We're in Florida and while the weather does get cool, and has been cooler the last couple of days, it can go full blast to summer weather like that ~ snaps fingers~!
I love the idea to belt a sweater with jeans. You can wear a light jacket too!  Note the layers

Plus, you know what curvy divas?  I'm not going to be afraid to eat!!!!  So, I've got to wear something that won't let me feel too suffocated, or too comfortable where I overeat!lol!


I'm loving this blouson dress! I like the idea of wearing a dress to dinner!

These two looks Nordstrom's buyers suggested for a night out, why not at your dinner tomorrow?  I think either outfit works so go for it!

I also love the color and texture of this dress!




Then I saw this, trusty, comfortable leggings...and I went, hmmmm....I'm putting my outfit together mentally already! ~smile~





I do hope you will have a wonderful day tomorrow my fellow Americans, wherever you will be celebrating your time with your families!  Happy Thanksgiving!

A Re-post: Red Carpet Reviews - 2013 American Music Awards

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine.  It was published there previously.  If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas. A writer's work is never done! Let me know which celebrity wore your favorite style! Did you watch last year's AMAs? Me too!  It was one of the best with my favorite Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull as host.  Did you catch the fashion that walked the red carpet?  No? Well, pull up a chair and I'll fill you in. At the 2012 award show, Christina Aguilera was beautiful in all her curvyness in a Pamella Roland dress, unfortunately, she went overboard on the suntan lotion.  Last year, she showed off a much leaner physique in a white Maria Lucia Hohan cut-out dress with a high split on the side.  Her shoes were Christian Louboutin peep-toe and I loved her pave jewelry.

Fashionistas - What's in a Word

You have heard this word before curvy divas , "Fashionistas"?  When it comes to anything to do with fashion and being fashionable, I am sure you have!  Do you know who coined the word and how it came about?  Well, first of all I didn't even realized that there was a story to the word, much less it being "coined" by any one particular person!  I just thought it was one of those words that came about and became popular because of its usage and in reference to anything fashion! According to Elle.com's Culture News, in an article by Rebecca Moss , the word Fashionistas was first created by Stephen Fried. In 1993, Fried, a young Journalist was writing a book about the Model Gia Carangi, who died very young, (sidenote-have you seen the [autobiography] movie of the same name, Gia? - I did and it is one to watch)!  Stephen met with people in the Industry and wanted a word that would represent who and what they were.  Because models and the Industry weren't p...
