Look of the Day

When you see something that "jumps" out at you when you're shopping curvy divas, do you purchase it?  Or do you try it on, think about it and then go back to get it?  I have to get it!  Once I take it off the rack, try it on in the fitting room and it "speaks" to me....well, it's a must have!

My recent post, "Love or Leave It?" about that pink and white Jennifer Lopez color block dress...I didn't leave it and I do LOVE it!  I decided that I would wear it to Christmas dinner at my oldest daughter's house.  I just didn't know what to pair it with because not only was it cold in Orlando that day, it has a white top, supposed I spilled something on it; and I'm not feeling particularly "thin" at the moment, so I didn't want to have a "puffy" look in the dress! You know what I'm talking about curvy divas! You want to look good, but you don't want to look too chunky! (and let me not have to say that I do love my curves - enough said!)

Wearing Red

It's Valentine's Day again and I'm sure many of you curvy divas are wondering what to wear tonight?  Some of us have plans, but others will keep it low keyed at home...or not! Whatever you do curvy divas, I found some great suggestions on Elle.com!  They featured RED , in everything, accessories, clothing, make up, even underwear!  Here are my favorite picks! I LOVE this dress! The silhouette is beautiful and will flatter most body types!  I checked and this item doesn't go larger than a size 12 by the designer, and they are out of this style at Neiman Marcus, however, it's a great look and you can find something similar elsewhere!  If it is too long, find a shorter length.

This beautiful dress is also not available in larger sizes. It goes to...

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! ...
