Having Effortless Style

There are times when I feel like dressing up, piling on lots of jewelry, makeup and really "killing it" with my fashion look. And there are those times when I just want to be simply yet stylishly dressed. No fuss, yet exuding effortless style.

I find that as I get older I am geared towards making my style more effortless. Oh still stylish, just not as over the top as I used to be. I wonder if it is because of our mindset, how we begin to look at life, where we are, what we are doing and what our outlook is why we begin to think differently? I like to think that it is just a part of me growing up!

So while I will continue to "rock out" and have my fierce fashion moments, I want to do it in a way that exudes style-spotter confidence rather than as a trendy fashionista. Am I making sense to you I wonder curvy divas?!

I'm not going to stop being me. Instead, I will be even more selective in what I wear, and wear it with the confidence of who I am.

Going forward I am going to have a series of "style-spotting effortless fashion" and share what I think those fashion are. How about you, are you changing up your looks and how you feel about your fashion? I would love to know what you are doing differently these days!

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! ...
