Curvy Looks: Sheer Inspiration - Eureka I Styled It!

So remember when I restyled and refashioned my sheer 80's shirt into a new look with my Old Navy boyfriend jeans and the JLO tank top?

Little did I know that I was unto something old, being new again! Yes curvy divas, the really sheer look is here to stay with a totally new vision of sheer inspiration. I'm on Issuu are you? I was doing what I love to do, peruse what I affectionately call Magrags and came across BlkonBlk a really awesome magazine published by Black Magazine with some really great images of which I was impressed and loving their style.

Then I saw this look:

I could visualize myself in this style and wondered if I could recreate it. I had a high neck cowl sweater that was similar and I could wear my bondage shoes. Unfortunately, I didn't have any sheer skirts or dress. Well, there goes that idea. But perhaps I could still see what I could create using the shirts I have!

I grabbed two of the three sheer black shirts I have and decided to see what I could come up with. I tried on several looks that just didn't work. Tank or tee shirt or dresses over the sheer shirts....nope! The sheer shirts by themselves with a nice bra...yep, If I was going clubbing and I was...20 years younger! Then I came up with two style looks that I loved. Here are some photographs of my recreations.

The first look is a buttoned down shirt over a striped Maxi-Ombre dress with a slit on the side. I believe it may be an Apt 9 or a Nicole Miller dress. I accessorized with a pair of chandelier earrings and the bondage heels.

The second look was a sheer charcoal grey shirt with denim styling on the cuffs and collar, and two pockets on the front of the shirt. There were also silver buttons down the front. Guess what I did? I wore a striped maxi skirt over the ombre dress!!! Now that's being creative. While the shoes remained the same, I chose a long dangling triangle shaped glittered earrings for this look.

So now I have two style looks I can use when the mood strikes! Did I do a good job with what I have? As usual in two words, Be. You! As I always am. These looks definitely fit into the category of #FFF, Fierce Fashion Friday style!!!!

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...
