The 90's Trend I'll Never Give Up!

What is that one style, that one fashionable trend that you love so much that you still do it today, and you're not planning on stopping curvy divas?  For me that trend is layering a dress over pants (or leggings)!  It's something that I do quite often and I don't plan on stopping!

One of the reasons I do it is because I don't like wearing dresses that are too short, and even if I do buy a short/mini dress, I'm going to wear it, but with pants, and sometimes leggings!  It is a comfortable and stylish go-to look for me!

I recently read on refinery29.com an article about this very look!  Connie Wang & Willow Lindley, authors of the article wrote that the last time anyone probably wore that style was:
  "....to an Avril Lavigne concert...with flip-flops, braces, and a terrycloth wristband, no less. These days, there's probably no other layering technique that'll elicit such extreme, knee-jerk negativity than wearing a skirt or dress over a pair of trousers..."

Um, no ladies, I beg to differ!  It is a trend that I have even seen recently on the Runway!  Reading the article further, I see that they agree with me!  They too have seen a come-back of this trend on the Runway,

"recent runway ensembles have provided sleek, not sloppy, innovations to this look, convincing us to reconsider...." 
Yes, the look is back (as if it ever left!) with a vengeance, but in a more sleeker version, not the sloppy look of yester-year!

Here are some looks featured in the article, photographs by Masha Maltsava!

Matching dress to pants - I love this look and I do try to do that myself at times, matching the colors will give you a sleeker appearance!



They call this styling a more "playful" look! I agree!




Here's a shorter dress with a slim/skinny pants and booties!  One of my personal favorite!



Other looks that they featured were a longer and looser dress with leggings and a lacy, peek-a-boo dress with pants!  I'm loving them!  What do you think curvy divas, would you wear any of these looks?

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!
