Vera Wang in Larger Sizes

You might know by now curvy divas, Kohl's is one of my favorite stores to shop! I love it because they carry fabulous names in fashion and fabulous finds for every sizes, including ours! You have seen the other some of the clothes I've gotten from Kohl's but I've never shared my Vera Wang finds...um..not true, I just remembered, I did share it before! My Vera Wang sheath dress (XL) from several seasons ago that I absolutely love to wear! I paired it with leggings, (have worn with jeans or dress pants too)! See the look here:

One of the other items I have from Vera Wang (XL), a long Satin Jacket with Self Sash/Belt. It is knee length and I've worn it with dresses, skirts and pants. Always "out on the town", but never to work. Until recently! I've decided that my clothes will no longer sit in my closet waiting for me to find somewhere "nice" or some "fancy occasion" to wear them! I spend so many hours five days a week at work curvy divas, why can't I wear one or two (or more) items to work? As with anything that I always say to you, choose your style, get the look you love and just go for it!

This black satin jacket has awesome detailing that I really like!

Round neckline, pleat-details down the front!

The label, not great lighting!

Surprise! It has pockets! Great to hold my cellphone! Note the self-belt

I wore a black tank beneath, hooks are in front

Worn with gray pants from Old Navy

A closer look at the neckline!

Three quarter sleeves (to the elbows)

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!
