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)!

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)!
