Curvy Looks: The Faux Fix for Celebs Fashion Faux Pas

Some time ago I shared an article I wrote about celebrities who wore the wrong style-look and it got me thinking that I didn't really give any solutions to what they wore, not fully!  It's like me seeing you leave the ladies restroom w/toilet paper trailing on your shoes, or yikes...hanging out of your underwear!!!! What would the fix be?  The faux fix......for these "oh no she didn't" fashion moments, aka, a fashion "faux pas".  

What did Mindy Kaling do wrong here? Her ensemble shouts "busy", the wrong color combination. I've worn prints that mixed before, the trick is having colors that go well together!  The faux fix?  Her look would have worked if the prints were in the same color family. Or even had she paired either the top or skirt with a solid color. The accessories are also not right, they are great for work though.

Separately, the clothing worn by Star Jones (photo below) would be appropriate, but together, it is one big mess. The faux fix? Get rid of the hat and fur jacket. Her shoes are also too serious for such a cute maxi dress. Strappy sandals would look great!

Reality star JWoww is not your typical plus size, but she is curvy. While I love the idea of swimwear as outerwear, JWoww's top looks ill-fitting and cuts her in half. The faux fix? Keep the wrap, wear a better fitting swimsuit or blouse!  I love her shoes.  She should lose the hat too.

JWoww's bestie,  Snooki, is wearing a pair of parachute-style pants that can sometimes be a good look if worn right. I would usually say it is another fashion don't because it makes you look larger than you are. However, the faux fix would be to wear a fitted top and a pair of strappy or thong sandals.

I'm sure they probably won't care about the bad fashion list, or even my suggestions, but it's good to know what not to wear!  I might even make some kind of fashion faux pas again too; thank heavens it won't be all over the tabloids! 

 What are your thoughts on this curvy divas? Are my suggestions on point for each look?

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. Christina Aguilera at the AMAs in 2012 & 2013. ...

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...
