Fall Fashion Chronicles

Strolling around the stores for Fall the look is very familiar, prints were everywhere. On leggings, various tops, dresses, even on denim. The materials were also quite familiar, sateen, viscote, cotton mixed with polyester; or spandex, polyester type jagger pants, and yes, jogging & yoga pants too. Dare I say VINTAGE is back! That is exactly what this year's Fall Lookbook is, Vintage. Chain link belts, high-waisted jeans; even dress trousers were high-waisted; and glitter the mainstay holiday trend was everywhere.

Yes curvy divas, fashion has come full-circle and vintage have arrived in all its splendor, even more than in any other year it seems to me, although really, vintage never left the fashion world. Fashion left vintage on the floor for a while. But not anymore. The love affair is on again! I've even spotted polyurethane military-style boots! Yes, those cute plastic shoes even I used to wear back in the day!

It's happened in the movies where they are remaking everything, with movie makers sometimes putting their own spin on whatever genre they are remaking. Consider this the rebirth of vintage. The Harem style pants aka MC Hammer pants back in the day, have become the go-to style even here in Orlando. ~Sidenote: for some reason my pre-teen and her friends call it Mick Jagger pants...I think it's because they are named Jagger Pants....lol!

I'm happy to report that here in Orlando, the trend is the same for us curvy girls. While there are still those very staid-looking moo-moo styles, and not so attractive style for full-figured women, stores like Macy's and Kohl's have us in mind with their print leggings, faux leather styles and other fitted fashion such as A-Line skirts.

Whatever you do curvy divas, I found some great suggestions on Elle.com! They featured RED , in everything, accessories, clothing, make up, even underwear! Here are my favorite picks! I LOVE this dress! The silhouette is beautiful and will flatter most body types! I checked and this item doesn't go larger than a size 12 by the designer, and they are out of this style at Neiman Marcus, however, it's a great look and you can find something similar elsewhere! If it is too long, find a shorter length. Rachel Pally Caftan V-neck dress - +Neiman Marcus photo courtesy Neiman Marcus via Elle.com A fire engine red dress!!!
