10 Fashion Faux Pas to Avoid

Have you ever made some weird mistakes when dressing yourself curvy divas? You know, those little fashion faux pas that really aren't a big deal but somehow they are?! I've seen people wearing socks with sneakers...I've never done that one, but I can understand why some people do it. Well, sometimes the dust and dirt gets into your footwear, or dries out your skin so wearing socks with sandals is a must....um, maybe NOT!!!lol!

I've had visible panty line without realizing it. Sometimes it is just too late to change my outfit and so I just roll with the best of them!  A quick recover is to wear a long cardigan, or jacket (which I do), or just wrap your shirt around your waist to cover your assets...which might just be an even bigger faux pas! ~ chagrin ~

In their Beauty & Style feature on sheknows.com, they featured The Top Fashion Faux-pas! In the previous mentions above, those two fashion no-no's are on the list!

First on the list is "exposed bra straps"!



Admittedly, this is not the best look. I've been guilty of this too, however, I usually throw on a cardigan or jacket!  There was a trend recently (it seems to come in phases) where the bra and tank tops would be the same color, so that made it okay! I don't think so!


The dreaded socks with sandals, doesn't even look cute here!


These two celebrity looks are definitely not working!  Another reason why not to wear socks with sandals!



According to sheknows.com, wearing sneakers with your work style aka corporate look is a no-no!



Personally, I've done this in the past! When you're busy getting to work, what else is more convenient?!  I've read this as a faux-pas from other fashion write-ups as well, but I say, to each his own!  [stage whisper] Imagine what they would say about flip flops and the corporate look! ~ducks head in shame~ (when I'm driving, that's the most comfortable look for me)



The dreaded VPL caper!



Admittedly, this looks bad for the visible panty line (VPL), in white pants.....however, with a derriere like this one, who's arguing ..?!  It seems I shouldn't be writing this article because I have an excuse for everything so far curvy divas!lol!

Other mentions on this list are: muffin tops, thongs, and too tight clothing...among others!

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! ...
