All About Leggings Week!

Leggings, the bane of fashion to some, the joy to others.   You know how I feel about them already curvy divas, I LOVE them!  Simply because they are so comfortable, and are the easiest go-to items in anyone's closet.   You must own at least one pair.  You can wear them for work outs:

Love it or Leave it: Which Look is better?

Tomorrow, or make that later today I will be going behind the scenes at a model casting call for an upcoming event. It will be for Orlando International Fashion Week in November.  I will share more details later curvy divas. For now, I was looking for something to wear that will not only be stylish, but comfortable too.  Is there such a thing in fashion?  Sure!   Leggings (and maxis) are always my go to for comfortable styling .   I went shopping in my closet and found this pleather or faux leather top.  I decided to try the top on with both a black legging and a print one but couldn't decide which look was better.

One of the negatives about some leggings is the fit , they are like a second skin after all and will fit your body to a tee, as in watch out for camel toes!lol!  Not to forget dimples and everything else.  This is when you wear a longer tee shirt, or a tunic or even a mini dress over your leggings. One of my favorite thing to do is to wear layers on top of my leggings; this way I have lots of styling options! Being a curvy diva, I cannot just throw on a tee shirt and go, I will wear a tank top under a tee shirt...
