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!

Window Shopping Part Deux - What I Chose

As you know from my last article , I went shopping for swimsuit with my teen Mandi and ended up doing the same for myself. After all, I was in need of a new bathing suit. My last purchase for one was from Target eight years ago! And also during that time, I was the lucky recipient of two new suits from my BSFFL (Best Sister Friend For Life) who visited from Europe! So Those have lasted quite a long time!

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.

How to Wear Glitter in the Daytime

Have you ever worn sequin aka glitter?  It is pretty much a trend in fashion these days.  Glitter is worn mostly at nights and for real special and dressier occasions. But not so today curvy divas. Glitter can also be worn during the day!  I've worn glitter during the day time before and I try to make it look as understated as possible!  You don't need too much accessories when you wear glitter.  It is pretty much how you put your outfit together! On Elle.com Amanda Fitzsimons interviewed designer Marissa Webb who is known for using sequins during the daytime!  Amanda wanted to know if this look (daytime glitter) can really work? Marissa said it definitely can and thinks it is in how shine the sequinned (or glittered) garment that choose to wear is. It is not just in the size of the beadings at all! I tend to agree with her.   I don't think a really shiny sequinned garment on its own, would work for daytime. That would definitely be overkill! ...
