Curvy Looks: Sheer Inspiration - Eureka I Styled It!

So remember when I restyled and refashioned my sheer 80's shirt into a new look with my Old Navy boyfriend jeans and the JLO tank top?

Little did I know that I was unto something old, being new again! Yes curvy divas, the really sheer look is here to stay with  a totally new vision of sheer inspiration.  I'm on Issuu are you?  I was doing what I love to do, peruse what I affectionately call Magrags and came across BlkonBlk a really awesome magazine published by Black Magazine with some really great images of which I was impressed and loving their style.

Then I saw this look:




I could visualize myself in this style and wondered if I could recreate it.  I had a high neck cowl sweater that  was similar and I could wear my bondage shoes.  Unfortunately, I didn't have any sheer skirts or dress.  Well, there goes that idea.  But perhaps I could still see what I could create using the shirts I have!

I grabbed two of the three sheer black shirts I have and decided to see what I could come up with.  I tried on several looks that just didn't work.  Tank or tee shirt or dresses over the sheer shirts....nope!  The sheer shirts by themselves with a nice bra...yep, If I was going clubbing and I was...20 years younger!   Then I came up with two style looks that I loved.   Here are some photographs of my recreations.  
The first look is a buttoned down shirt over a striped Maxi-Ombre dress with a slit on the side.  I believe it may be an Apt 9 or a Nicole Miller dress.  I accessorized with a pair of chandelier earrings and the bondage heels.



The second look was a sheer charcoal grey shirt with denim styling on the cuffs and collar, and two pockets on the front of the shirt.  There were also silver buttons down the front.  Guess what I did?  I wore a striped maxi skirt over the ombre dress!!! Now that's being creative. While the shoes remained the same, I chose a long dangling triangle shaped glittered earrings for this look.








 So now I have two style looks I can use when the mood strikes!  Did I do a good job with what I have? As usual in two words, Be. You! As I always am. These looks definitely fit into the category of  #FFF, Fierce Fashion Friday style!!!!

Fall 2012 Trends

Summer is not yet over but already the fashion world has moved on, for some time now, to Fall !  I love to peruse any information I see about Fall Fashions before the season begins too; learning what the colors and styles will be, and to see if there are any trends to follow. Where trends are concerned, I firmly believe that it is best to choose the look that will work best for you.  You can follow a trend, but you should tweak it to make it your own! This is how you discover your own sense of style! I love receiving emails from Ken Downing, Fashion Director for Neiman Marcus !  He shared quite a lot of details in his latest E-mail newsletter to me!  To start off, one of Fall's fashion trend will be the: Statement Handbag : Michael Kors Skorpios Haircalf Ring Tote - $1,695 from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com Yes, animal print continues even into the Fall season!  Budget conscious divas will do what we do best and shop around for th...

Wearing Red

It's Valentine's Day again and I'm sure many of you curvy divas are wondering what to wear tonight?  Some of us have plans, but others will keep it low keyed at home...or not! 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.
