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!!!!

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!   ...

As Winter comes around the corner for some, and is already here for others, what is the best thing (after my favorite, boots) that some fashionistas look forward to? Well curvy divas , have you thought about it yet?  Coat season of course!  I'm sure by now you know that there is a coat for every type of cold-weather day! On Purewow.com they featured 30 different coats you can wear , think of it as a daily guide for at least one month of coat-wearing during the cold season!  They have defined for each type of cold-weather day a coat or jacket you can wear! When it's Crisp outside, a bit cooler than the hot weather we are still feeling here in Orlando, then it's time to take out your blazer ! Mossimo's brown leather fur collar jacket When it gets blustery outside, a lot colder than just a chill in the air, hello Bomber jackets !   I agree that this style is the "it" jacket, because of its edgy style ! http://www.oldnavy.com/products/outerwear-...
