The Price of Beauty

OK Curvy divas as Joan Rivers would say, "Can we talk?"  I mean real talk from one curvy diva to another! You and I both know that it is great to find good deals on the clothing and accessories we buy.  Heck, it's fabulous when we find a bargain on anything within a budget we can afford!

Take for example from the master of all foundation garments, Spanx!  

 the Bra-llelujah bra:




For some things, I'm sure that you are willing to pay, within reason-and at the right price of course, to own an item you really love, desire or need! For the plus size diva, our reality is, sometimes we have to pay more for an item of clothing than the regular size woman does.  While I don't mind doing that for an item that is absolutely a "need", I don't necessarily do it all of the time, unless in my head I'm telling myself "you deserve this"!  "And we do don't we?" (stage whisper!)

So clothing we usually don't mind paying more for, are foundation garments including brassieres; as well as shoes; and even hosiery (you still wear them right?).  Other items us divas usually don't balk at paying more for are that great suit or jacket and let's not forget a really good pocketbook (handbag)!

Although we are willing to pay for the price of beauty we do love a great bargain!

So we hunt around until we find:

the back support bra from Just My Size:

and then we may even pick up one more for the great bargains we find!

Me 'n My 'Fro: On Being Natural - How it began

I mentioned the first article I wrote   about my hair that I would share with you my hair journey curvy divas. For the next couple of Wednesdays, that is what I will do on this blog.  If you are black aka African American as we say here in the United States (technically, I'm Caribbean-American), you know the ins and outs of our hair journeys. The success, when you rock your hair and look fierce; the woes, when you just give up and put on a hat!lol! And even wear a hat, just because you wanna rock that new hat!   I have always had what some called "a head full of hair", so much that the authenticity of my hair came into question quite a couple of times.  My mom loved to style our hair (my sisters and me) and would always have her girls looking beautiful in ribbons and hair clips where ever we went!   There are two incidents I remember distinctly, as a child, and as an adult.  Once in Primary school (that is Elementary here in the USA), a teach...

Found: The TShirt Dress

I found myself at the Mall of Millenia, a high-end mall the other day, Amanda and I went on a little adventure at which I was very excited. This mall is a bit farther away from us so we don't get there as often. It was about time I visited H&M...oh my love for that store has increased!!!  While I was there, I wanted to grab a handful of clothing and run to the fitting room, but I had a hard time finding my size.  Where were the larger sizes for us curvy girls??!!  I thought there was a sectioned for plus size-didn't see if one and couldn't find sizes for me. Jersey Maxi Dress w/raw edges at arms & slit It was a busy place so I couldn't ask anyone who worked there (I saw so few employees), but the store was pretty busy... however after looking around, I saw a dress I liked, a large was the largest size, I picked one in each color, a black and a grey;  it was a tee-shirt style, cotton-jersey material; with a round neckline and a slit that had me won...
