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.

A fire engine red dress!!! Always great in any woman's wardrobe if she dares to wear it! This beautiful dress is also not available in larger sizes. It goes to a size 12.  This designer does make other styles that fits up to an XL.

I love this top!  Can't you see yourself in this with black pants, skinny jeans or a pair of chic dressed pants?!  And yes, even a nice pencil skirt will do!

I don't know what it is about stripes, I just love the look of stripes on any clothing!  (so far I haven't found one I don't like)  These are red but they are still nautical looking!

I'm loving my latest finds, a triple wrap around straps that I treated myself to last year.  You get the look of a bracelet and watch in one!  Here's a great looking double strap watch in red from Sasha Rhett!

This is a great looking purse. It folds over, which means it opens even wider and so isn't too small. However, don't be tempted to full it up, or you won't be able to fold it over!

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! ...
