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?!

Fall 2012 Trends

Summer is not yet over but already the fashion world has moved on, for some time now, to Fall !  I love to peruse any information I see about Fall Fashions before the season begins too; learning what the colors and styles will be, and to see if there are any trends to follow. Where trends are concerned, I firmly believe that it is best to choose the look that will work best for you.  You can follow a trend, but you should tweak it to make it your own! This is how you discover your own sense of style! I love receiving emails from Ken Downing, Fashion Director for Neiman Marcus !  He shared quite a lot of details in his latest E-mail newsletter to me!  To start off, one of Fall's fashion trend will be the: Statement Handbag : Michael Kors Skorpios Haircalf Ring Tote - $1,695 from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com Yes, animal print continues even into the Fall season!  Budget conscious divas will do what we do best and shop around for th...

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.

This beautiful dress is also not available in larger sizes. It goes to...
