Horizontal Stripes and the Curvy Girl

I'm obsessed with stripes! LOL! What am I not "obsessed" with right curvy divas?! It is not about being obsessed though, I'm going to start using the word "passionate" instead, much nicer! So, I'm so very passionate about stripes. Over the years, since I was growing up in fact, I've always heard that girls with hips and too much going on with their bodies, should not wear stripes, especially horizontal stripes.

To that I say...."PFFfftttt"! What's with all these rules for us curvy girls I wonder? I advocate for us to dress the way we want to and be confident in who we are. I'll get off my soap box for now. Take a look at my latest style-look, I wore these to the office recently, on Casual Friday. I wore a white shirt under my dress and belted it. Belting it defined my waist and made me feel oh so chic!

Because my stripes were colorful, (summer fun) I tried not to over-accessorize.

In the look below, I wore a fabulous graphic tee and a maxi stripe skirt!

So what do you think? Does it make my hips look larger? I don't think so. It is all in the way you style yourself my curvy divas. It is also in the confidence you feel in what you wear. So have fun with your look and don't be afraid to try something new!

Fall 2012 Trends

Summer is not yet over but already the fashion world has moved on, for some time now, to Fall ! I love to peruse any information I see about Fall Fashions before the season begins too; learning what the colors and styles will be, and to see if there are any trends to follow. Where trends are concerned, I firmly believe that it is best to choose the look that will work best for you. You can follow a trend, but you should tweak it to make it your own! This is how you discover your own sense of style! I love receiving emails from Ken Downing, Fashion Director for Neiman Marcus ! He shared quite a lot of details in his latest E-mail newsletter to me!

How to Wear Glitter in the Daytime

Have you ever worn sequin aka glitter? It is pretty much a trend in fashion these days. Glitter is worn mostly at nights and for real special and dressier occasions. But not so today curvy divas. Glitter can also be worn during the day! I've worn glitter during the day time before and I try to make it look as understated as possible! You don't need too much accessories when you wear glitter. It is pretty much how you put your outfit together! On Elle.com Amanda Fitzsimons interviewed designer Marissa Webb who is known for using sequins during the daytime! Amanda wanted to know if this look (daytime glitter) can really work? Marissa said it definitely can and thinks it is in how shine the sequinned (or glittered) garment that choose to wear is. It is not just in the size of the beadings at all! I tend to agree with her. I don't think a really shiny sequinned garment on its own, would work for daytime. That would definitely be overkill! ...

The Best Hair Color for You

You choose your outfit with care, down to the shoes you wear for that particular look. You put your makeup on, and now it's time for your hair.....why is it not looking its best? Everything that you do in trying to style it, is just so wrong! You're ready to scream or pull your hair out!!!! Have you ever had a bad hair day? I know I have, more than once! Usually, if I'm lucky, I'll have time to wear a hat, a wig or pin my hair in a way to make it work! It doesn't matter who you are, for every woman, if your hair isn't at its best, you will not be too ! When you have your hair, as some might say "did" or "done" you know you will be at your fabulously curvy best ! One of the things I like to do is color my hair. Yes, it's chemical, so I guess I'm not totally au naturel! You can try a rinse, which is a way to temporarily color your hair with a new look, or you can use a permanent color and rock your hair the way you want! ...
