The Perfect Transition Dress from Summer to Fall

As the weather continues to do its dance, one day it's piping hot, the next you get whipped by a very cool breeze reminding you that summer is over!  Although it doesn't get as cold here, we do have our colder moments, and wearing clothing that can transition from a very hot day to a cooler morning or evening, and vice versa is essential!

I saw this gorgeous dress at anthropologie.com and fell in love with it immediately curvy divas!  The price is under $100, we can work with that!  The look, the cut, I can even work with the length.  It seems to be very comfortable while remaining stylish.  You can layer it on top with a jacket, or sleeveless vest; or wear a turtle neck or shirt underneath.  Other layering options? Well, a pair of tights with boots, leggings with booties, or dress it up with heels and funky jewelry!

The only thing I am not loving about this dress?  They don't have an XL or any size larger!  So my dear curvy divas, this is when we do what I always recommend, we go shopping for a similar look in our size! Yes you can do it! If you find one, do share!

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)!  Stephen met with people in the Industry and wanted a word that would represent who and what they were.  Because models and the Industry weren't p...
