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.

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!

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! ...

Society's Never-ending Debate - Who is Plus Sized?

The debate continues about women who are curvier, heavier, plus sized...whatever your favorite terminology is for women who are not Size 0-14, or in the fashion world, Sizes X0-4! In 2014 I wrote about Designers who were confused about what plus size is and who also didn't want to dress women who were larger than a size 0. Once again in 2016, this debate that constantly has us, full-figured, curvy women, being pitted against the woman who is a size zero or regular size is still an issue today because of the Fashion Models being used by Designers in their fashion shows, the looks of these women being deemed as Plus Size are just not plus size. These days most Designers are also refusing to dress actresses ( Melissa McCarthy , and most recently Leslie Jones ) who are not a size zero is such a thoughtless thing, this kind of insensitivity must end.
