Show Me Your Closet

I'm obsessed with stripes! LOL! What am I not "obsessed" with right curvy divas?!  It is not about being obsessed though, I'm going to start using the word "passionate" instead, much nicer!   So, I'm so very passionate about stripes.  Over the years, since I was growing up in fact, I've always heard that girls with hips and too much going on with their bodies, should not wear stripes , especially horizontal stripes. To that I say...."PFFfftttt"!  What's with all these rules for us curvy girls I wonder?   I advocate for us to dress the way we want to and be confident in who we are.  I'll get off my soap box for now.  Take a look at my latest style-look, I wore these to the office recently, on Casual Friday.  I wore a white shirt under my dress and belted it.

I'm glad that I don't have to wear a tie, ever.   Although I did have a very bright yellow clip on tie that was very stylish and I used to wear it, back in the days!   However, I do have men in my life that have to wear one from time to time.  And I do have sort of an idea of how to tie one on...I've tried in the past, when my son was younger, thank heavens hubby came to my rescue and taught him how to!
