Horizontal Stripes and the Curvy Girl

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. Belting it defined my waist and made me feel oh so chic! 

Because my stripes were colorful, (summer fun) I tried not to over-accessorize.

In the look below, I wore a fabulous graphic tee and a maxi stripe skirt!

So what do you think? Does it make my hips look larger?  I don't think so.  It is all in the way you style yourself my curvy divas.  It is also in the confidence you feel in what you wear. So have fun with your look and don't be afraid to try something new!

Backstage at OIFW Model Casting Call

On Saturday, yesterday in fact, I had the pleasure of attending a casting call for models , an event organized and hosted by Fierce Entertainment Management for their upcoming Orlando International Fashion Week, November  2-8, 2014 . Attendees at the event were welcomed by Fierce Entertainment's, Rob Henlon who then handed the program over to the vivacious Kristania Vielot who instructed the aspiring models for their walk down the runway, strutting their stuff for the designers and other members of the Fierce team. As the models strutted to the sound of the music-mix pumping, guests sipped and ate refreshments that were provided.   Before they walked the impromptu runway, I had a little  tête-à-tête   with three of the young models, Logan-9, Ashley-6 and Aiden-4,  beautiful, cute, and adorable , (who won't want me to call them that, but I am because they were) whose future will lead them to become what they dream of!   ...

As Winter comes around the corner for some, and is already here for others, what is the best thing (after my favorite, boots) that some fashionistas look forward to? Well curvy divas , have you thought about it yet?  Coat season of course!  I'm sure by now you know that there is a coat for every type of cold-weather day! On Purewow.com they featured 30 different coats you can wear , think of it as a daily guide for at least one month of coat-wearing during the cold season!  They have defined for each type of cold-weather day a coat or jacket you can wear! When it's Crisp outside, a bit cooler than the hot weather we are still feeling here in Orlando, then it's time to take out your blazer ! Mossimo's brown leather fur collar jacket When it gets blustery outside, a lot colder than just a chill in the air, hello Bomber jackets !   I agree that this style is the "it" jacket, because of its edgy style ! http://www.oldnavy.com/products/outerwear-...
