Curvy Looks: How to wear that 80's Sheer Shirt Now

Today’s fashion is filled with a lot of sheer and almost nude, aka barely there clothing isn’t it curvy divas?  Did you know that trend didn’t just began with Rihanna’s barely-there dress or even Rose McGowan’s chain dress. 

Nope, sheer fashion has been a trend for as long as I can remember. But as many styles that become trends always do, one minute they are extremely popular, and the next they are not.  The sheer trend is more popular than ever today with each actress and entertainer trying to outdo each other in what they do not wear from one function to the next! 


I’ve always enjoyed having sheer clothing items in my closet because I find them really attractive as optional layering.  One such item is a shirt I have had for a while now that has been sitting in my closet with nowhere to go, until now!
To modernize my 1980's sheer shirt, I decided to wear it as a jacket over my new boyfriend jeans and a tank top.  I was hesitant to do it, but pushed aside my fears and found my fierce fashion Friday boldness!




 The pros & cons of giving a new look to my 80's sheer shirt were:
1) As I went through my day I appreciated the sheer top for the coverage (my arms & my curvy assets), and the sex appeal factor.  Which woman doesn't want to be and feel attractive uh?!  
2) I disliked that the sleeves, being really wide, so I rolled them up but they kept sliding down. Next time I’ll pin them in place.  

Is this a look you would wear?  I will definitely wear this look again.  Hey, sometimes what you wear makes sense only to you! So, Be. You.

Jeans – Old Navy
White Tank top – Jennifer Lopez

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...
