Dressed up Thanksgiving - The Sweatshirt

Are you wondering what to wear to this year's Thanksgiving dinner curvy divas?  Last year I gave you a  few ideas, blouson dress, leggings, jeans with belted sweater, see the link here.  This year I am trying to be even more simple, yet I am also in the mood to dress up a little.

Hmmm, what to wear, what to wear.....?  I was perusing purewow.com and then the lightbulb went off when I saw thir feature on the sweatshirt, "it" being the "trend" for Fall.  I've shared with you that I like the idea of the sweatshirt all dressed-up!  I think it happens to be one of those items in your closet you can dress up or down, much like your jeans!


These three outfits were my favorite choices:

This embellished-lace skirt and statement necklace dresses up the grey sweatshirt.  I would wear a pair of tights with heels to add to the dressy look; or leggings with flats or boots for a more casual but eclectic look.

Topshop quilted sweatshirt ($45) + H&M skirt ($30) + Miriam Haskell necklace ($980)

Have you ever seen a leather sweatshirt?  Check out this one by Helmut Lang.  It is paired with a pencil skirt and heels.  The texture of the skirt and the color of the shoes makes for biker chic.

Helmut Lang leather sweatshirt ($495) + McQ Alexander McQueen skirt ($435) + Saint Laurent pumps ($625)


Some of us just don't want to be bothered getting dressed up for tomorrow's dinner and that is okay. This means we'll be able to indulge even more in the sweet potato pie!  This red cropped sweatshirt goes well with jeans.  Throw on a pair of wedge sneakers or Chucks, or boots and you're good to go!

Zara cropped sweatshirt ($20) + The Seafarer jeans ($337) + Kooba bag ($448)


Now are you ready for dinner?  I know I am!  Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving with your family and friends!

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! ...
