The Leather Trend: You Need These in Your Closet

I'm fascinated by leather, are you curvy divas?  It is the smell, look and feel that makes it such a fascinating clothing choice.  The versatility of leather is boundless! You can wear any leather item in your closet with anything, which girl (or guy) doesn't like that?!  

I was perusing elle.com recently and found an article about what else....LEATHER! I had to share it with you.  

I saw these shoes and immediately thought "Oh my shoegasm"! These heels are to die for.  The look, the style...we are shoe lovers after all.

I love the look of this leather bracelet. The hook design means it won't be hard to put on or take off all by myself.  Leather stretches so I can fit it on my wrist. It has a kind of "rocker-chic" look that I like.

This is a bustier that anyone can wear with a jacket, or on its own, if you are daring enough.

These leather shorts are perfect because they have a wrap front which gives it a skort-effect.

The neckline on this leather dress will be a great look for me. It will wear well with a white shirt, a tank or on its own.  The cut is forgiving for my ample waistline and hips...oh yes curvy divas, we can do this! The flare leather dress in that line-up might be a better fit for most because it has a slight flare.  (see the link at the end of this write-up)

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! The Weddington Way Nora Dress: A perfect choice.   Gorgeous, lace styling, monochromatic, yet luxe - you could style this many ways. Weddington Way Nora Bridesmaid dress in Champagne  Our choices: Lace gloves:   What better way to add that air of sophistication and femininity, with an oomph of lux

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!
