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!

A Re-post: Red Carpet Reviews - 2013 American Music Awards

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine. It was published there previously. If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas. 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.

Hair Trends: Rainbow Colored Hair

I've got a new obsession. Yes, a new one, rainbow colored hair. I am fascinated by the women who are bold enough to do this look. I did my own bold look two summers ago when I went a very daring red. I am actually antsy and really want to try pink and blue and green...need I say more? LOL! Because I have to keep my looks under wraps (at least for the next couple of months) so that I don't scare the very conservative people I work with. I cannot be really "loud" with my hair. In my heart I am a child of adventure and do not let others bother me but I must admit there are times when "they" will suppress my spirit. These days though I'm happy to say that I'm learning to live in the moments and I am again learning to let me be me. So yes, I will find a way to try new colors and I do like rainbow colors! How exciting. What I do like about rainbow colors are that there are some that are really LOUD , and others that make a statement without be...

Does Sustainable Fashion have a Future?

Being environmentally conscious is something I am learning to do and it is fast becoming a favorite topic of mine curvy divas . I believe that as time changes we are all learning to not just be aware of our environment but to act to protect it as well! We have to change our attitudes and behavior in our lifestyle so as to consciously help ourselves. Last month H&M along with Vogue put together a panel of fashionably conscious people participated in a live discussion held at The New School for Design at Parson's, about "How can we create a more sustainable fashion future". Once again I turned to one of my favorite online fashion source, Refinery29 where writer Glynnis Mapp shared more about this outstanding event! The panel discussed ways we as consumers could practice sustainability in fashion, and also how the government could be involved. There was suggestion of a "by the pound incentive program for consumers..." and where "points" could...
