Holiday Party Wear Ideas

Okay the other day my now five year old daughter tells me "mommy its to cold to wear dresses" and I thought you know there may be some women who actually think this. So I thought I would write about that today. A dress can be worn with a pair of thick tights or some can be worn with a turtle neck, a blazer, or a leather jacket. Depending on the style of the dress of course. So if you think can't wear a great party dress in the winter then think again. Here are some great ideas that may work for you..... with this dress you can pair this with thick tights to keep your legs warm and boots or no boots just a great shoe. To add some color a wide elastic belt around the waste would work just fine. Like a red or a tourquoise belt. with this dress you can add a sequin clutch a long neckalace and you will be good to go. So I hope a couple of these examples will give you some great ideas to find that fabo party dress. All pictures shown above are from Lane Bryant but you can go to any plus size store and find these great items.

Jersey Knit : A Girl on the Go fashion must have

Hi everyone.....today I want to talk about Jersey Knit. This is the most versitile fabric you can have in your wardrobe. From dresses, skirts, blouses, you name it jersey knit has a way of draping its way over your shoulders and flowing in the wind. If you are a girl on the go or just a jet setter if you have an article of clothing made of this material you do not have to worry about any wrinkling, shrinkage, or lack of versitility. I personally love jersey knit especially in cute blouse or a trendy maxi dress. Here are a few examples of jersey knit garments.

My Item of the day


Hey everyone Happy Thanksgiving. Today I am featuring on my blog this item.

The Harem Pant. I love this pant, this can be worn with a sexy high heel or a pair of booties. This I would consider in the capri family but with a little more edge. I would definatly recommend adding this in a wardrobe. I would'nt wear this pant with just any shirt. Maybe a cute sweater that does not go past the hip. And of course jazz it up with some great accessories. This can be purchased at www.AshleyStewart.com.

Tight Squeeze


Okay curvaceous crew have you ever struggled to get bangles to fit over your hand or when you finally did squeeze the bangles over your hand, it looked like your hand was was being squeezed out of a toothpaste tube lol. * sigh* I just want my bangles to hang elegantly like they are suppose to. So I search and searched and I found a site that has bangles 8" in diameter. Enough room for the bangle to go over your hand smoothly and hang on the wrist elegantly. www.queenbeejewelry.com check it out.

Beauty on a budget


Hey you guys just wanted to share this. This is for anyone who is on a budget or just looking for some great gifts. I went into my local CVS and found this pallete of eyeshadows for $4.99. It has seventy-two colors and they are very pigmentented. I wore the eye shadow for the past couple of days and I must say the color stayed on all day. So I think this is a great buy.
Another option is this kit. This one comes with lipstick, eyeshadows, eyeliner, and mascara and this was purchased at my local beauty supply store for $16.99.

Ruffles



Ruffles have been on the scene for the past year and contiue to be a growing trend.
My opinion on ruffles are that they are just simply romantic, playful, and girlie.
There are ruffles on purses, skirts, blouses, on just about everything. In this post we will look at the endless ways you can wear ruffles.




The ruffled blouse continues to show its way on the runway scene, magazines, and into plus size retail stores. This blouse you can dress this for day and evening.
For the day time you can wear this with a pair of slacks or a printed skirt and very simple accessories. To turn this blouse into an evening outfit you can wear a chic pair of jeans, sexy heels, and big bold earrings.



Ruffles on purses, who would of thought. Yes this purse is very cute but please don't make the mistake of wearing this purse with a shirt with ruffles or a skirt with ruffles. The ruffles are designed to make one statement in the total look.




Other ways ruffles can be worn on skirts as seen in the photo above. This can be paired with just a basic tank or any kind of fitted t-shirt.







Ruffles really makes a statement in a dress, so romantic and whimsical. You just can't go wrong with a ruffle dress.


So this post has come to an end but we are not going to see the end to ruffles. I personally love ruffles and this would surley be one to add into a wardrobe. If you have any comments , opinions, or questions drop me a few lines. God bless ya.

Sequins, Sequins, Sequins and more Sequins

It came to me in a dream, I was surrounded by sequins. Sequins leggings, sequins dresses, sequins purses, sequins everything!!! Nah just kidding. But on the real I want to discuss this up and coming trend. I see them in store windows and I really, really dig them.


Okay I know what your thinking. I'm just a little too thick to be wear'n something like that. Well I beg to differ. Yes if you are curvaceous you can wear these leggings, you just have to know how and with what. Now if you pair these with a top that is not so flattering then yes there can be a bit of a problem but I found some amazing tops that will go very well with sequin leggings .

a black baby doll shirt would go amazing with these leggings, it accentuates the curves and jazzes up this top quite nicely.
A funky plaid shirt with a belt to accentuate the waistline. Perfecto!
Or just a plain, comfy tank, in any color would work just fine. These can be purchased at www.torrid.com. All at very reasonable prices.


A sequin tank paired with a bold printed skirt or a female tuxedo jacket puts you in a festive spirit. This would be perfect to wear at those up and coming holiday parties. This can be purchased at www.avenue.com.


A sequin purse can go with just about anything. Just another way to jazz up a simple outfit. A pair of jeans, a dress, or the outfits I mentioned above. This purse can purchased at www.nowdiscountshoes.com.

Just because you are curvaceous does not mean you can not be stylish. Hopefully this blog can motivate you to not be afraid to wear bold colors. God bless ya.

Accessories Galor!!!!!

Today I want to discuss a few basic must haves as far as accessories. Okay ladies I know most of us have tons of accessories that we have collected over the years, but today lets just talk about the ones that I think are must haves.



Hoop earrings have been around for decades and they never go out of style. There are all sort of styles. There are diamond, gold, silver, bamboo, beaded, and the new trend yarn. The list goes on and on. Now there is a science to wearing hoop earrings. I have actually purchased some and brought them home thinking they would look great and they did not because the shape of my head lol. I personally cannot wear the really large hoop earrings. I can wear medium sized to the smallest. So before purchasing hold the earrings up to your ears to see if they are the right fit. The prices of these earrings can range from $1.99 to $1,000. I found wearing your hair up or big curly hair can also make a difference on how you rock these earrinss. A crisp white t-shirt, a pair of your fav jeans, hair up in a messy bun or big curly hair can totally complete the whole style. You can purchase from any retail store.



Next are a set of bangles. I can remember wearing bangles as a young child (flashback- I know yall remember the little medal ones that came in different colors) lol yeah the ones I used to get came in a little plastic purse or pouch.
Bangles are just the right touch when wearing a bohemian style look. And also you can get these at any retail store locally or online.





Until recently you would'nt think of a scarf as a "fashion accessory". They were mainly used to keep your neck warm in the winter lol. But they have found their way as one of the top fashion accessories that you can have. The scarf can be seen worn in the summer, spring, fall, basically all year. You can wear with t-shirts, dress, jackets, without a jacket. I mostly wear my scarf with a t-shirt and jeans just a way to make a simple outfit a little jazzy.





The oversized boho purse. I personally think every woman should have one large purse. They are just classy and chic. And you can fit everything you need in it. Now maybe a woman that is petite in stature should not get this particular purse in the pic above, but just like with the hoop earrings make sure you measure the purse next to you before you purchase.






Lastly the Ballet Flat Shoe. I think this is a must have because this is a well rounded accessory. I mean you can wear this particular style of shoe with jeans, a
dress, slacks, shorts, dress it up, dress it down you name it. Without a doubt a must have.


So this post has come to an end, I mainly chose these accessories because of the fact that they can be worn all year, they go with basically anything, and they are not fads. Meaning they have been around for years..... let me know what your must haves are by simply commenting....God bless ya.

The usual day is the day after thanksgiving. The date this year is November 27th so mark your calanders. On this day you will more than likely get all kinds of deals on holiday gifts. The newspaper circular comes out on November 22nd, but I figure I'll give you ladies a headstart on a couple of stores. Target has $3 appliances(did you hear that?)

Boot Season

Hey everyone, before I begin I just want to say Happy Friday!! I stepped outside this morning and I felt the cool, crisp air and immediatly I thought. It's time to rock my boots. ITS BOOT SEASON YEAH!!! Now being a plus size woman its a challenge finding stylish boots. Either you have big feet(slowly raising my hand lol), thick calfs, or you may not be able to find a comfortable heel. *SIGH* Well I'm going to make it my mission to find stylish boots for plus size women facing this challenge.
I went on the search for what style of boot I'm looking for. Me personally I am looking for something unique and different so I found this website called www.barefoottess.com. They specialize in boots from sizes 11-15! There moto is "Because style does not stop at size 10" I love that..... and here is what I found.


This particular boot is called the Mantiboah 'Buffalo Dancer Boot'. I liked this boot because of its uniqueness and style, they look comfortable and they would definatly look good paired with leggings and a long sweater.(very native american)ite is $199.00. I really like these.



Now this boot I love. It's called the Delman 'Gaiety' Boot. I love this one because its very chic, structured, and sexy.(not to mention unique) This would look good paired with tights and a sweater dress (very simple)the cost of this boot is $299.00 its on sale from its original price which was $595.00.







Last but not least, the Muk Luks 'sweater knit' Boot. I just thought these boots were cute, plain and simple. They kind of remind me of Uggs. Rock these with a pair of jeans and sweater or tunic top will bring the outfit together nicely. These are sold for $49.00.

Okay I know the prices are high but my next challenge is to find the alternative to these boots. And if you can deal with the price remember they are on www.barefoottess.com. Let me know what your boot pics for the season or if you like the ones I picked all you have to do is leave a comment. To be continued......

Headscarf, T-shirt, and Sweat Pants Moment

Hi everyone I hope everyone one is having a great Veterans Day.(Shout out to all the soldiers) This is part of my blog I will call my headscarf, t-shirt, and sweat pants moments. I love fashion and glamour but sometimes you just want to throw on some sweatpants and a t-shirt. You know what I mean ladies.


Several nights ago I was getting my daughter ready for bed when I got a phone call from a good friend I have'nt talked to in awhile. She was very upset, apparently a co-worker told her she was self centered. Now I've known this person for a long time and I don't know her as being self-centered. She did the wise thing and did not respond back to this person, but apparently it struck a nerve with her because she asked me "What kind of person do you think I am?" I was kind of taken aback because I can hear the quivering in her voice as if she was about to cry. So after a few seconds of silence, I explained to her that I thought of her as strong, funny, and kind. But after that I also asked her "why do care what anyone thinks of you?" Bottom line is this, in life you are going to have people misunderstand you, talk bad about you(they are called haters and if you don't have any get some)try to take your joy away etc. At the end of the day the only being that really knows what type of person you are is God Almighty, thats all that matters. I know its hard, but this is something we need to tell ourselves everyday. Thats my moment.....I hope this helped somebody out there, this advise sure helped me. God Bless.

What is that ISH on ya head???


Clairhair.com $17.99
Okay tonight I am going to talk about hair. But before I do let me say this I am not a beautician, I am not telling anyone how to wear their hair, just an alternative if you are on a budget. I decided to put myself up to the challenge and grow my hair to its natural state. I've been getting relaxers for so long that I do not know the natural texture of my own hair is soooo....let the journey begin. So I was inspired by Oprah, her hair is down to her back all I could say is wow!!! During this process I will be protecting my hair with half wigs, weaves, whateva. This I have on my head in this pic is a half wig or quick weave whatever you want to call it. It is made by Outre and it is called "Jewelry". It was a whopping $19.99 and has lasted me well over a month if taken care of properly. You can get it from your local Beauty Supply store or you can order it on-line at clairhair.com I think its 17.99 on there. The store that I know sells this piece is CoCo3. This place is like a Wal-Mart for beauty products! lol
