Horizontal Stripes and the Curvy Girl

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...

Me 'n My 'Fro: Length Check - My hair is growing

I blew out my hair and gave it a few presses with the flat iron recently curvy divas , just lightly, not too intensely straight and you know what I noticed?   My hair has grown! Yes it has.  It is now below my neck, resting on my back, just so!  Here are a few selfie pics: One of my throw-back photos of my hair in transition, and not yet red . As my hair grew, the curls become more defined - in a dark red/auburn color My hair after a blow-out a few weeks ago My 'Fro after a blow-out and some straightening a few days ago (pinned into a pony tail style)   It is good to see my hair growing. I am not planning to get a hair cut just yet. I want to see how long it will grow. I will get a trim though....and I mean my ends trimmed, not a cut as these hair stylist like to do, so I may end up doing it myself!   A salon visit is planned for this year though, it's on my style resolution list after all! How is your hair health curvy divas ? ...

If there was ever a Manstyle-Suit I would wear...

This would be it! I like a great suit, and a woman in a suit that looks like this, confident, relax and oozing sex-appeal too, without even trying!   The designers always say every woman should own a nice gentleman's-style anything, sweater, shirt, jacket, and I totally agree!   Even for us curvy divas , it doesn't hurt to own any of these "boyfriend" items because we will rock the look!   I love the look of this suit!  Notice the length of the pant leg, the details on the jacket gives it the feminine look we need.  Note the muted accessories. You can take this look from day to night by changing the blouse, or by adding statement accessories!   Giorgio Armani Men style suit for women. http://pinterest.com/pin/42925002670497477/
