Curvy Looks: How to wear that 80's Sheer Shirt Now

Today’s fashion is filled with a lot of sheer and almost nude, aka barely there clothing isn’t it curvy divas?  Did you know that trend didn’t just began with Rihanna’s barely-there dress or even Rose McGowan’s chain dress. 

Nope, sheer fashion has been a trend for as long as I can remember. But as many styles that become trends always do, one minute they are extremely popular, and the next they are not.  The sheer trend is more popular than ever today with each actress and entertainer trying to outdo each other in what they do not wear from one function to the next! 


I’ve always enjoyed having sheer clothing items in my closet because I find them really attractive as optional layering.  One such item is a shirt I have had for a while now that has been sitting in my closet with nowhere to go, until now!
To modernize my 1980's sheer shirt, I decided to wear it as a jacket over my new boyfriend jeans and a tank top.  I was hesitant to do it, but pushed aside my fears and found my fierce fashion Friday boldness!




 The pros & cons of giving a new look to my 80's sheer shirt were:
1) As I went through my day I appreciated the sheer top for the coverage (my arms & my curvy assets), and the sex appeal factor.  Which woman doesn't want to be and feel attractive uh?!  
2) I disliked that the sleeves, being really wide, so I rolled them up but they kept sliding down. Next time I’ll pin them in place.  

Is this a look you would wear?  I will definitely wear this look again.  Hey, sometimes what you wear makes sense only to you! So, Be. You.

Window Shopping Part Deux - What I Chose

As you know from my last article , I went shopping for swimsuit with my teen Mandi and ended up doing the same for myself. After all, I was in need of a new bathing suit. My last purchase for one was from Target eight years ago! And also during that time, I was the lucky recipient of two new suits from my BSFFL (Best Sister Friend For Life) who visited from Europe! So Those have lasted quite a long time!

Love Wedges? How to wear them!

I have this thing with heels that when I mention it to anyone, they look at me as if I'm weird.  I have to, HAVE TO wear heels, at least 80% of the time.    The reason why I have to wear heels a lot is because I'm flat-footed. Yes, I have very low arch , so low that if I wear flats for two to three days straight without any height in heel, my feet will hurt and then I have to wear heels to make my feet feel better. Weird, or a more serious condition? Who knows?!   I wear heel height from 4inches to 6 inches! Nope, I haven't mastered the 7inch heel, and I won't even try.  As a curvy girl, a six-inch heel is the height where I stop! I like wedges, high heels, and stiletto heels.  With some platform heels, popularly called wedges, the heel can be low, or high; however, the main thing is, the heel will balance the height of the heel so that you can walk with confidence!      On about.com, Desiree Stimpe...

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.
