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!

Window Shopping Part Deux - What I Chose

As you know from my last article , I went shopping for swimsuit with my teen Mandi and ended up doing the same for myself. After all, I was in need of a new bathing suit. My last purchase for one was from Target eight years ago! And also during that time, I was the lucky recipient of two new suits from my BSFFL (Best Sister Friend For Life) who visited from Europe! So Those have lasted quite a long time!

Backstage at OIFW Model Casting Call

On Saturday, yesterday in fact, I had the pleasure of attending a casting call for models , an event organized and hosted by Fierce Entertainment Management for their upcoming Orlando International Fashion Week, November  2-8, 2014 . Attendees at the event were welcomed by Fierce Entertainment's, Rob Henlon who then handed the program over to the vivacious Kristania Vielot who instructed the aspiring models for their walk down the runway, strutting their stuff for the designers and other members of the Fierce team. As the models strutted to the sound of the music-mix pumping, guests sipped and ate refreshments that were provided.   Before they walked the impromptu runway, I had a little  tête-à-tête   with three of the young models, Logan-9, Ashley-6 and Aiden-4,  beautiful, cute, and adorable , (who won't want me to call them that, but I am because they were) whose future will lead them to become what they dream of!   ...

Lacquered: Move over Glossy, Matte Nails are in!

In Purewow's Beauty section online, I read with interest that the new trend for nails this fall will be the matte finished,  as in shine-free!  Well move over glossy & shiny!  Remember curvy divas , there is matte makeup ; matte lipstick ; I even remember the matte finish jewelry trend , and now we have matte nail polishes!! Did you ever think that trend would be in nail polishes too?   According to Purewow, the Matte Finish not only comes as a nail polish, but also as a Top Coat! They recommend that we first try the top coat in matte finish to see if we like the look.  You can apply it over your regular nail color of the week and have matte-finished nails! Top Coat in Matte Finish SHOP The budget-friendly and cautious side of me agrees this would be a safe way to see if you do like the look (although at $19 each there's nothing cheap about it!) and just in case you don't want to splurge on every color in the line of matte finishes, I guess i...
