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!

A Re-post: Red Carpet Reviews - 2013 American Music Awards

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine.  It was published there previously.  If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas. A writer's work is never done! 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!  I just thought it was one of those words that came about and became popular because of its usage and in reference to anything fashion! According to Elle.com's Culture News, in an article by Rebecca Moss , the word Fashionistas was first created by Stephen Fried. In 1993, Fried, a young Journalist was writing a book about the Model Gia Carangi, who died very young, (sidenote-have you seen the [autobiography] movie of the same name, Gia? - I did and it is one to watch)!  Stephen met with people in the Industry and wanted a word that would represent who and what they were.  Because models and the Industry weren't p...
