Grammy Looks - My Favorite Dresses

Did you watch the Grammy Awards last night curvy divas?  It was fantastic!  Part of the magic of the Grammys is watching the stars walk the Red Carpet and they did not disappoint.  There were a few looks I liked a lot, however, two looks were my favorite of the night!

The first look, this diva can be a handful with her personal life, but her music is still rocking!  I love dancing to it and enjoy watching her videos!  Who am I talking about curvy divas?  Well, it's Rihanna of course!

The color was a bright red, so apt for her personality!  The fact that their was this "memo" that went out telling people how not to dress, she definitely skirted around it by wearing this sheer number which although it covered up nicely, showed enough skin!  

Yahoo Music reviewer gave graded her dress an A for this dress and I agree!

The second dress which I also liked was worn by Adele! The Y! Music writer (Yahoo music) did a dis-service to Adele and called her dress frumpy!!!!  Frumpy?!!! Just because it's a floral patterned?  Just because it's not showing any skin?  Just because...really?

Her grade was a D and I disagree!  Not everyone has to show their body parts, and dress in sheer and revealing clothing.  I particularly love the color combination of her dress. For someone who has just recently had a baby, she looks really good, in my opinion!  What would have made this dress frumpy is if it were a long gown.  That would have been over the top, however, it is tea or cocktail length!

The color brightens her face, her shoes are a match (cool) and without even trying too hard, she's showing off her curves! 

If I were to update this look more, personally, I would have worn four-inch black heels with an envelope purse  and large hoops. My hair would be in a sleek high pony tail! But that's just me! (and even then someone might just not like it!) So this goes without saying curvy divas, if you love it, and you're confident with yourself, go for it and rock your look!  Adele sure did!

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!
