Zara Stores...American Women too fat?!

Zara Sizes for women
I have seen these stores before, Zara, and their clothing look pretty nice. I don't recall going into one of them and perhaps it is a good thing!  Thursday on Good Morning America (GMA) it was reported that Zara stores won't expand further opening more stores here in the US because American Women waistlines are too big! Really?!

The store's main clientele is smaller sized women.  They do well in Europe and Asia, but not so great here because they don't carry sizes for the curvy divas in the United States!  Proof in point, there were two fashion bloggers with the Journalist reporting, who were size 18-20 and could fit into an XL most times.  When they tried the clothing at Zara, they couldn't even fit an XL. The reporter who wasn't a larger woman by any means, just fit into the XL!  They do make their sizes too small! As noted by the model from the article I read below.  She's a size 4/6! So even a smaller sized woman or a regular sized woman doesn't fit into their design!

I say we don't take this lying down curvy divas.  It's an insult to our intelligence, plus size curvy divas are fashion mavens and we love to shop too!  Our money is just as good as the next woman's.   The market for curvy diva fashions is still so small.  When are these retailers going to get it?   Our market is a strong one.  It's time they stop making us feel as if we're not important!  We shouldn't stand for that! Zara retail, shame on you!

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

The Look: New Year's Eve the Weddington Way

Picture this curvy divas, your friend is getting married on New Year's Eve, oh the joy! Then she asks you to be her bridesmaid, and guess what else?  No, not wear that same bouffant dress from her cousin's wedding, oh the horror.  You will be able to create your very own bridesmaid style, your way!!!! Your instructions are, since you are ready for this adventure, "You have to select from the bride's choice of dresses".   All you have to do is accessorize!!!!  This beautiful champagne lace dress from Weddington Way is the one!  Picture this, I'm thinking  monochromatic & luxe femininity . H owever, do not outshine the bride, that's always a no-no! The Weddington Way Nora Dress: A perfect choice.   Gorgeous, lace styling, monochromatic, yet luxe - you could style this many ways. Weddington Way Nora Bridesmaid dress in Champagne  Our choices: Lace gloves:   What better way to add that air of sophistication and femininity, with an oomph of lux

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!
