What to Wear for Thanksgiving Dinner?

It's a dilemma for, perhaps, many women right now? The guys probably might worry about this too, but for now, we're focusing on us girls, right curvy divas?! I'm not going to a big formal affair, just dinner at my daughter's house with her fiance and my grandson.  It will be a family affair, just us, and them...and anyone else who might stop by!lol!


I'm loving this cotton sweater and jeans or dressed pants idea.  A scarf is a perfect layer to this outfit! It would mean I won't be too warm, or feel cold if the weather changes!

That's a good thing, when you don't have to get too dressed up for Thanksgiving Dinner. However, it's a special day and for some of us, we might want to look nice, wouldn't you agree?!  My youngest has already picked out her outfit which she showed me last night, a pair of teal blue leggings with blue tulle skirt and a teal tee shirt! Then she asks me, "What are you wearing mommy"?  I don't know.

We're in Florida and while the weather does get cool, and has been cooler the last couple of days, it can go full blast to summer weather like that ~ snaps fingers~!
I love the idea to belt a sweater with jeans. You can wear a light jacket too!  Note the layers

Plus, you know what curvy divas?  I'm not going to be afraid to eat!!!!  So, I've got to wear something that won't let me feel too suffocated, or too comfortable where I overeat!lol!


I'm loving this blouson dress! I like the idea of wearing a dress to dinner!

These two looks Nordstrom's buyers suggested for a night out, why not at your dinner tomorrow?  I think either outfit works so go for it!

I also love the color and texture of this dress!




Then I saw this, trusty, comfortable leggings...and I went, hmmmm....I'm putting my outfit together mentally already! ~smile~





I do hope you will have a wonderful day tomorrow my fellow Americans, wherever you will be celebrating your time with your families!  Happy Thanksgiving!

A Re-post: Red Carpet Reviews - 2013 American Music Awards

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine.  It was published there previously.  If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas. A writer's work is never done! Let me know which celebrity wore your favorite style! Did you watch last year's AMAs? Me too!  It was one of the best with my favorite Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull as host.  Did you catch the fashion that walked the red carpet?  No? Well, pull up a chair and I'll fill you in. At the 2012 award show, Christina Aguilera was beautiful in all her curvyness in a Pamella Roland dress, unfortunately, she went overboard on the suntan lotion.  Last year, she showed off a much leaner physique in a white Maria Lucia Hohan cut-out dress with a high split on the side.  Her shoes were Christian Louboutin peep-toe and I loved her pave jewelry.

Hair Trends: Rainbow Colored Hair

I've got a new obsession. Yes, a new one, rainbow colored hair.  I am fascinated by the women who are bold enough to do this look. I did my own bold look two summers ago when I went a very daring red.   I am actually antsy and really want to try pink and blue and green...need I say more? LOL!  Because I have to keep my looks under wraps (at least for the next couple of months) so that I don't scare the very conservative people I work with.  I cannot be really "loud" with my hair.  In my heart I am a child of adventure and do not let others bother me but I must admit there are times when "they" will suppress my spirit. These days though I'm happy to say that I'm learning to live in the moments and I am again learning to let me be me. So yes, I will find a way to try new colors and I do like rainbow colors! How exciting. What I do like about rainbow colors are that there are some that are really LOUD , and others that make a statement without be...

Does Sustainable Fashion have a Future?

Being environmentally conscious is something I am learning to do and it is fast becoming a favorite topic of mine curvy divas . I believe that as time changes we are all learning to not just be aware of our environment but to act to protect it as well! We have to change our attitudes and behavior in our lifestyle so as to consciously help ourselves. Last month H&M along with Vogue put together a panel of fashionably conscious people participated in a live discussion held at The New School for Design at Parson's, about "How can we create a more sustainable fashion future".   Once again I turned to one of my favorite online fashion source, Refinery29  where writer Glynnis Mapp shared more about this outstanding event!  The panel discussed ways we as consumers could practice sustainability in fashion, and also how the government could be involved. There was suggestion of a "by the pound incentive program for consumers..." and where "points" could...
