Dressed up Thanksgiving - The Sweatshirt

Are you wondering what to wear to this year's Thanksgiving dinner curvy divas?  Last year I gave you a  few ideas, blouson dress, leggings, jeans with belted sweater, see the link here.  This year I am trying to be even more simple, yet I am also in the mood to dress up a little.

Hmmm, what to wear, what to wear.....?  I was perusing purewow.com and then the lightbulb went off when I saw thir feature on the sweatshirt, "it" being the "trend" for Fall.  I've shared with you that I like the idea of the sweatshirt all dressed-up!  I think it happens to be one of those items in your closet you can dress up or down, much like your jeans!


These three outfits were my favorite choices:

This embellished-lace skirt and statement necklace dresses up the grey sweatshirt.  I would wear a pair of tights with heels to add to the dressy look; or leggings with flats or boots for a more casual but eclectic look.

Topshop quilted sweatshirt ($45) + H&M skirt ($30) + Miriam Haskell necklace ($980)

Have you ever seen a leather sweatshirt?  Check out this one by Helmut Lang.  It is paired with a pencil skirt and heels.  The texture of the skirt and the color of the shoes makes for biker chic.

Helmut Lang leather sweatshirt ($495) + McQ Alexander McQueen skirt ($435) + Saint Laurent pumps ($625)


Some of us just don't want to be bothered getting dressed up for tomorrow's dinner and that is okay. This means we'll be able to indulge even more in the sweet potato pie!  This red cropped sweatshirt goes well with jeans.  Throw on a pair of wedge sneakers or Chucks, or boots and you're good to go!

Zara cropped sweatshirt ($20) + The Seafarer jeans ($337) + Kooba bag ($448)


Now are you ready for dinner?  I know I am!  Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving with your family and friends!

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...
