Back to School Fashion & JC Penney's!

Well curvy divas, for some of you with children, it is that time of the year again, when Summer ends, and a new school year begins! It's back to school time, and what comes to mind? Well, back to school fashion of course!

For weeks my daughter Amanda had been hinting to me that she wants everything, EVERYTHING new for her return to school, and that means making a really good impression on the first day! Although my plans were to do combination shopping to keep us within a certain budget, I knew we also had to visit Plato's Closet! She kept showing me photos her friends sent to her of their own shopping trips and what they will be wearing for the school year. Hmmm, being the budget-prepared mommy that I am, guess who wasn't fully prepared for this year's journey? Me! Yep, me! But thank heavens, just in time, we were able to go off to our favorite place, Fashion Square Mall and did just what she wanted!

Her one and only stop at the mall? JCP of course! Because at Penney's they had what she wanted, Nom, Nom we had seen them on our previous trip! What made this trip even better for me, a 20% discount card I received in the mail, and a 60% sale going on that weekend - a mother's dream!

So without further ado, here is her back to school fashion!

Wearing Red

It's Valentine's Day again and I'm sure many of you curvy divas are wondering what to wear tonight? Some of us have plans, but others will keep it low keyed at home...or not! Whatever you do curvy divas, I found some great suggestions on Elle.com! They featured RED , in everything, accessories, clothing, make up, even underwear! Here are my favorite picks! I LOVE this dress! The silhouette is beautiful and will flatter most body types! I checked and this item doesn't go larger than a size 12 by the designer, and they are out of this style at Neiman Marcus, however, it's a great look and you can find something similar elsewhere! If it is too long, find a shorter length. Rachel Pally Caftan V-neck dress - +Neiman Marcus photo courtesy Neiman Marcus via Elle.com A fire engine red dress!!! Always great in any woman's wardrobe if she dares to wear it! This beautiful dress is also not available in larger sizes. It goes to...

Everything that you do in trying to style it, is just so wrong! You're ready to scream or pull your hair out!!!! Have you ever had a bad hair day? I know I have, more than once! Usually, if I'm lucky, I'll have time to wear a hat, a wig or pin my hair in a way to make it work! It doesn't matter who you are, for every woman, if your hair isn't at its best, you will not be too ! When you have your hair, as some might say "did" or "done" you know you will be at your fabulously curvy best ! One of the things I like to do is color my hair. Yes, it's chemical, so I guess I'm not totally au naturel! You can try a rinse, which is a way to temporarily color your hair with a new look, or you can use a permanent color and rock your hair the way you want! ...
