Love it or Leave it: Anthropologie Dress vs My Target Dress

Last year I wrote an article entitled, 'The Perfect Transition Dress From Summer to Fall" It was a dress by Anthropologie.

The Anthropologie dress

Here's the dress by Target, a Merona brand plus size dress:

There's actually a zipper on one of the shoulders, and the elbow sleeves or capped w/a cute epaulet button - Target buy here

I loved the dress by Anthropologie, couldn't get that one, not in my size...so I was happy to see the Target brand, and on sale!!!!

I've already worn it twice. Both casual looks. The first one for work on a Casual Friday, with a scarf a polka dot scarf and skinny jeans. I also wore it with my blue Tommy Hilfiger platform sneakers.

The second time I wore it on a weekend outing with my daughter Amanda. I wore it with leggings, a skinny sparkly scarf and glitter hoops. I wore an arm candy of bracelets too.

For now, I won't wear it without leggings or skinny jeans because of the fit. Mine is a size XL. I could try a 1X but since they didn't have it, the XL is a great fit and skims my body. If I wanted to go looser, I could buy the size 1X or get a 2X and I just might, just for the fun of it!

I LOVE IT!!! What do you think?!

Curvy Looks: What I Wore In a Week

I like reviewing my Style-looks to see how my fashion has progressed, what clothing I intend to keep during my #Showmeyourcloset make over (more on this soon) and also just in case I have to re-think my style strategy when in work-mode. 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

The Look: New Year's Eve the Weddington Way

Picture this curvy divas, your friend is getting married on New Year's Eve, oh the joy! Then she asks you to be her bridesmaid, and guess what else? No, not wear that same bouffant dress from her cousin's wedding, oh the horror. You will be able to create your very own bridesmaid style, your way!!!! Your instructions are, since you are ready for this adventure, "You have to select from the bride's choice of dresses". All you have to do is accessorize!!!! This beautiful champagne lace dress from Weddington Way is the one! Picture this, I'm thinking monochromatic & luxe femininity . H owever, do not outshine the bride, that's always a no-no!

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! Patrick Demarchelier, photographer and model
