What I wear in a Day - Spring has Sprung!

It is practically Summer isn't it curvy divas? I live in a sunny state, and it is that way 90% of the times. We do however, have our rainy seasons, hurricanes, and even cold to freezing days! Recently I decided it was time to put my boots and sweaters away. After all, Spring has been here and is practically over!

I wanted something light, fun but work-worthy to wear to work and decided on a jacket that I happen to have two of, just because! You know, just because you love a style, and especially if it was on sale when you were purchasing it, why not get two....."just because"!lol!

These are bolero jackets by Apt. 9 from Kohl's (there's a light pink blouse under the grey jacket)

It falls about mid waist, and because it is a loose fit , covers my curves and gives me a great silhouette!

See the details on the neckline

Press-on button detail!

Elbow-length sleeves - note the rounded neckline!

The back

The back at the hemline (a pink blouse is underneath)

I decided on the bright Coral, great choice for the day! I wore black tank top and black trousers, note my pearl bracelet!

Sorry, no full portrait, as you know, I take my own photos (99% of the time)!

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!

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.

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! ...
