Love Wedges? How to wear them!

I have this thing with heels that when I mention it to anyone, they look at me as if I'm weird.  I have to, HAVE TO wear heels, at least 80% of the time.  The reason why I have to wear heels a lot is because I'm flat-footed. Yes, I have very low arch, so low that if I wear flats for two to three days straight without any height in heel, my feet will hurt and then I have to wear heels to make my feet feel better. Weird, or a more serious condition? Who knows?!

I wear heel height from 4inches to 6 inches! Nope, I haven't mastered the 7inch heel, and I won't even try.  As a curvy girl, a six-inch heel is the height where I stop! I like wedges, high heels, and stiletto heels.  With some platform heels, popularly called wedges, the heel can be low, or high; however, the main thing is, the heel will balance the height of the heel so that you can walk with confidence!

 On about.com, Desiree Stimpert wrote (1): wedges "...are worldly and eye-catching, ...very cosmopolitan.....looks great with nearly any length skirt or dress....are a fashionable choice....and will add definition and shape to heavy ankles, making them appear thinner". Desiree's article (1). 

I so agree with her curvy divas!  So if you have never worn wedges (platform heel) before curvy divas, and you wanted to try it but wasn't sure how to, I've got you covered! 

Wedges look great with Maxis, skirt or dress, shorts, even short-shorts, most dresses, and flared, or even boot-cut pants.

   


Wedges don't look with great with pencil skirt, capris or pants that are too narrow on the legs. However, I don't mind wearing them with leggings when I wear a long tunic/dress.

If you decide to buy your first pair of wedges, be adventurous and try a pattern or bright colored hued!  Also, be careful of a too chunky heel, because they tend to be a bit more precarious, but are fun if you know how to wear them!  When my Amanda was interested in wearing heels, I started her out in a pair of wdges that were perfect for her age and size. It is OK for pre-teen girls to wear a small-wedge heel. 

For more ideas, you can go to the ladies at JustFab blog for more suggestions on how to wear those gorgeous wedges!

Curvy Looks: What I Wore In a Week

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

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!
