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.

 What I wore:
Black sheer top – make unknown. It’s a boutique find from NYC many moons ago.
Jeans – Old Navy
White Tank top – Jennifer Lopez

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!

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!   ...

Lacquered: Move over Glossy, Matte Nails are in!

In Purewow's Beauty section online, I read with interest that the new trend for nails this fall will be the matte finished,  as in shine-free!  Well move over glossy & shiny!  Remember curvy divas , there is matte makeup ; matte lipstick ; I even remember the matte finish jewelry trend , and now we have matte nail polishes!! Did you ever think that trend would be in nail polishes too?   According to Purewow, the Matte Finish not only comes as a nail polish, but also as a Top Coat! They recommend that we first try the top coat in matte finish to see if we like the look.  You can apply it over your regular nail color of the week and have matte-finished nails! Top Coat in Matte Finish SHOP The budget-friendly and cautious side of me agrees this would be a safe way to see if you do like the look (although at $19 each there's nothing cheap about it!) and just in case you don't want to splurge on every color in the line of matte finishes, I guess i...
