Show Me Your Closet

There are certain times curvy divas, when I just want to slip into a little dress, put a few pieces of accessories on, and go about my business!  I love dresses, so I have several of them (not enough!).  They are either Maxi-style, or too short to wear alone, so I wear with pants or leggings, (which I actually don't mind doing because that is my signature style)! So I've been looking for some that I will be able to wear without feeling self-conscious being a girl of a certain curvy attributes! Dress from KJordan.com I love the pattern on this dress!

You know what I'm tired of curvy divas ?  I'm tired of Society telling me what I can and cannot wear . I'm sick of seeing models who should be plus sized and they're not, modeling clothes that is supposed to fit a curvy woman! How am I going to tell how that clothing really looks on my curvy behind if the model who is showing it has none?   I'm also tired of not finding really stylish clothing in curvy diva sizes!!!  That's the three I'll list for now and I'll stop right there! I like to dress with not just style but with a bit of a "pop" thrown in too.  That means I love to accessorize , and they don't usually match.   I love to color coordinate but not in a "matchy-matchy" type of way.  I love to dress up , most of the times.  As someone commented to me recently, "I guess you dress according to your moods". Yes I do and there's nothing wrong with that! I was looking around on the Intraweb at the different...

We've heard it said time again, being thin is beautiful, being fat is not! What?! In the real world, being on the extreme side of either of these ideals can be dangerous for our health!  You can be a skinny girl walking around and unhealthy and you don't even know it!  The largest sized person could be more healthier than a smaller person, they just have more flesh on their body! I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but do notice that I said, "could be more healthier"!  It just depends on the individual and what they do to take care of themselves.  Do they exercise?  Do they eat healthy?  Do they do anything to enhance their own physical being?  We won't know unless they tell us!  I realize that not all of us will be healthy, but so many of us are trying to be, and some of us are making it happen!  With proper care of yourself, you can each be healthy and well, and live the lifestyle of your dreams!  I tell you what curvy ...
