How to have a Closet of Never-ending Outfits

What are some of the items that you would find in most women's closet? 

A long sleeved denim shirt 
A Button-downed shirt - (two - one color, one white)
A sheath dress (aka a straight or shift style dress)
A great fitting pair of jeans
A tailored jacket
A pair of khakis
A flirty skirt
A stripe t-shirt and a plain one
A pair of Converse
A pair Sneakers
A pair of flats
Tanks tops
High heels
A scarf
A sweater
A pair of dress trousers
A pair of leggings

Now, what other pieces could you add to those basic pieces that you already own?  Here is what I would add:


Your skirt should be a flirty A-line skirt in a print or plain - or both.


A white dress…it could be another sheath dress or an A-line one.


You can get a dressy pair of sneakers, either Keds or Vans 





And, more heels; you should have, a two-inch or three-inches for work; a four inches for dress-up, and super skinny stilettos for those "knock-em-dead" moments, in nude, black or red.

You can never have too many tank tops - add a silky or dressy type. This one is cropped!






You should also own a nice pair of ankle boots and/or booties. I'm loving these Python ones!





Remember that everyone needs a bejeweled sweater for those holiday moments!



Trousers can be with prints, make it a fun pattern for a bit of adventure, why not?



You could add another pair of flat shoes.  It should be a nice pair of dressy loafers, either bejeweled or patent. Don't forget belts.  Leather belts with buckle, or skinny ones will do too.

Along with your basics, these new additions should seal the deal for a never-ending closet of outfits!  What do you think?  Which  would you wear, or not?

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!

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.

How to Wear Glitter in the Daytime

Have you ever worn sequin aka glitter?  It is pretty much a trend in fashion these days.  Glitter is worn mostly at nights and for real special and dressier occasions. But not so today curvy divas. Glitter can also be worn during the day!  I've worn glitter during the day time before and I try to make it look as understated as possible!  You don't need too much accessories when you wear glitter.  It is pretty much how you put your outfit together! On Elle.com Amanda Fitzsimons interviewed designer Marissa Webb who is known for using sequins during the daytime!  Amanda wanted to know if this look (daytime glitter) can really work? Marissa said it definitely can and thinks it is in how shine the sequinned (or glittered) garment that choose to wear is. It is not just in the size of the beadings at all! I tend to agree with her.   I don't think a really shiny sequinned garment on its own, would work for daytime. That would definitely be overkill! ...
