Window Shopping: Fall Fashion Chronicles - Knits are In

Have you felt that change in the air? Do you have that feeling of summer being over? It is a resounding "Yes" and "Yes" to both questions isn't it curvy divas?

While the calendar has not officially announced the end of Summer which comes in a few calendar days. The air is not as humid and Labor Day holiday has come and gone. Those are usually my markers to begin looking to Fall aka Autumn.


                    

The magrags have already published their Fall Fashion issues, some of which I bought and will share more about  in other articles.  Here at Fabulously Curvy, the best thing is to go to where the fashion is, the Stores!


I'm feeling all kinds of wonderful in this Calvin Klein dress!
                        
Last year we took a trip to The Mall. This year we selected a store we haven't visited in a while Burlington Coat Factory. I have always shopped Burlington and love their selection of clothing for the plus size woman. I noticed there were quite a few dresses, Knitted Dresses on the racks.

Most of the knits were by Gabby Skye

I grabbed a couple and headed to the fitting room to see which would be a good fit for my curvy self.

Ooh, this dress fits my curves awesomely!

Do you not see the awsomeness of this Gabby Skye dress?!






I really like this dress, but the design doesn't do a lot for my curves.  Hence ladies, choose your pattern fashion carefully!



What is up with Shoes this season?











Those are some of the looks for this Fall at Burlington Coat Factory.  I can't wait to get to the other stores to see what they have to offer.  Plus, we are still reviewing fashion in the magazines too.  Have you been to the stores?  What are you looking forward to wearing this new season?

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. Christina Aguilera at the AMAs in 2012 & 2013. ...

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...
