Vintage Clothing in Plus Sizes

Lately I've been thinking about vintage wear, especially because I watch Bravo TV a lot and a new program called Decades, features the ups and daily happenings of their store which specializes in vintage designer clothing for sizes 8 - 0. If they do carry size 10 or 12, they've never mentioned that. I'm guessing because they cater to a lot of Hollywood starlets. (although in this last episode they had a shoe sale and there were regular people shopping!)

It got me thinking that I do love vintage! I think I have mentioned that before curvy divas, especially because of my love for vintage costume jewelery. It doesn't have to be from any particular designer, as long as it appeals to my sense of style and is well made!

I thought about getting involved with plus size vintage clothing and wondered if there is such a thing? I realized that there is because of Mod Cloth and Shabby Apple fashions! I love their sites and have featured their clothing in articles in the past! But what else would be "out there" I wondered? So I turned to trusty Google and entered the words "plus size vintage clothing", and yes, they do exist! I was surprise as the variety! Some I loved immediately, some I didn't like so much.

I came across several vintage plus sized clothing sites and the ones I liked were pinupgirlclothing.com (they do also cater to regular sized divas), and Chicstar.com.

This is my favorite look at pinupgirlclothing.com:

Chicstar also carries the most darling skirts!

I have a Vintage board on Pinterest that I have been pinning some of the fashion I like to. I will definitely continue to keep pinning my inspirations on to it! This is one of my favorite jewelery look:

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...
