Curvy Stylebook: How to wear Leggings

Leggings is a fashion item I will continue to write about curvy divas. Why?  It is a favorite go-to clothing item for me. It is comfortable, goes with almost everything, on top, with the right clothing, or beneath, again, with the right clothing choice, you can rock your style wearing leggings.

Some fashionistas will continue to say, "Oh, leggings are not pants, they should never be worn outside". To that I will always disagree. One of the negatives about some leggings is the fit, they are like a second skin after all and will fit your body to a tee, as in watch out for camel toes!lol!  Not to forget dimples and everything else.

This is when you wear a longer tee shirt, or a tunic or even a mini dress over your leggings. One of my favorite thing to do is to wear layers on top of my leggings; this way I have lots of styling options! Being a curvy diva, I cannot just throw on a tee shirt and go, I will wear a tank top under a tee shirt; or wear a mini/short dress, or a tunic with leggings. I have to find some really nice print leggings though. I think I play it too safe with dark colors every time!

I love these fun Romwe leggings - take note of her tunic, and worn w/boots = Fun!
How about you? Do you like wearing leggings? What are some of your styling choices when you wear them? Do share!

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.

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...
