I'm obsessed with stripes! LOL! What am I not "obsessed" with right curvy divas?!  It is not about being obsessed though, I'm going to start using the word "passionate" instead, much nicer!   So, I'm so very passionate about stripes.  Over the years, since I was growing up in fact, I've always heard that girls with hips and too much going on with their bodies, should not wear stripes , especially horizontal stripes. To that I say...."PFFfftttt"!  What's with all these rules for us curvy girls I wonder?   I advocate for us to dress the way we want to and be confident in who we are.  I'll get off my soap box for now.  Take a look at my latest style-look, I wore these to the office recently, on Casual Friday.  I wore a white shirt under my dress and belted it. Belting it defined my waist and made me feel oh so chic!  Because my stripes were c ol or fu l , (summer fun) I tried not to over-accessorize.   f...

Recently Amanda and I went shopping for more skinny jeans.  We stopped at JC Penney because they had a great sale going on.  Somehow, we tend to gravitate towards blue, even though lately she's been into pink!  I love that the colors were so bright too! I dislike that the pants were so tight, but I guess I should accept this since it is "skinny jeans", right curvy divas ?!  I do like looking good in what I wear, add to that looking stylish, and wearing clothing that doesn't make me look twice my size, or too young (as if I'm trying too hard)... and I'm all good! We tried on several pairs of jeans, and added some skirts too.  Both of us were not too keen on anything we tried on that day.  I decided to leave it ,  with plans to "visit" again, after all, we are really loving Penney's new look & styles!
