What I Wore: “You’re From The 70′s, But I’m A 90′s Bitch”

Hi Friends!

It’s getting late in the day and I’ve been running further and further behind it seems, so I’m just gonna get to the point and keep it short and sweet just like an ice cream sundae with a cherry on top!

Did I mention my red lipstick  from Maybelline is called Very Cherry? How about that!

For today’s post I wanted to show you all an outfit that I am loving right now as the weather is getting hot hot hot and summer is on the horizon! I’m not sure if its the big circular earrings, the button up tank tied at the waist, or the whole outfit in general but this look had me feeling a little bit nostalgic for the 90′s which is never a bad thing in my book. In fact anytime 90′s styles make a come back I feel completely at home hence the title of this post.

Big Circular Earrings: Gift From Mom/White Sheer Button Up Tank: Wet Seal (Gifted/Reviewed Here)/ Animal Print High-Low Dress: Figuresque (Gifted)/ Wedges: Torrid

I received a package in the mail a week or so ago from my lovely friends at Figuresque full of some really cute pieces that I have been super excited to incorporate into my wardrobe and share with you all. This dress was the first item that stuck out to me, and how could it not? I am a bit animal print obsessed after all! I received the Animal Print High-Low Dress in a size 3X and it fits great, is a nice poly blend and is really comfortable and easy to wear with elastic at the top of the bust and at the waist. The high-low cut of the skirt is also interesting and a bit different then most mullet dresses I have seen as of late since this one goes up on the side instead of  up in the front, which I find a lot more flattering. The extra flare to the skirt as it elongates and a similar detail on the bust makes this dress more stylish and gives it that extra va-va-va-voom for a saucy look. I feel like the cut of this dress enhances my curves and shows off my shape in a way that I absolutely love. Overall this dress is a great piece that I am happy to have in my wardrobe and will probably wear quite a bit this summer. For only $37.95 I would totally recommend this dress to all of my curvy chicks who want to feel a little wild, sexy and breezy as things heat up!

I originally had planned on adding a hat to this look but it just wasn’t working with my hair. As you can probably tell I am at a point where I need a haircut and thank goodness I have one booked for next week. Taking away the hat made me change things up a bit but I am pretty happy with the look I ended up with. I don’t have a lot of clothing with gold or brass details as I typically lean more towards silver so I was really happy that I had another look that I could wear my gold studded collar button up that I reviewed a few weeks ago from WetSeal. This shirt tied up nicely around my waist which helped showcase my smallest curve and the sheer fabric made me able to cover up a little bit without covering the print completely. I finished the look with my favorite Torrid Wedges from seasons ago, and some black and gold circular earrings my Mom gave me in my stocking at Christmas. Overall I was feeling pretty hot in this look no matter what the decade!

What I Wore: “I Love Lucy”

Hi Friends!

Hope you are all having a wonderful week so far. Sorry for not posting yesterday, I had a huge math test that I was totally not prepared for and spent my whole day (literally like 7 hours) cramming and frying my brain. Like my Twaffle always says, I am far too pretty to do math. Really though those of you who are good with numbers are also beautiful but incredibly lucky that you can rock the math skills, I just don’t have that part of the brain.

Since today I am back to my normal self I knew I wanted to put together an outfit of the day, and showcase the wonderful dress my friends at IGIGI sent me last month. This dress will be perfect work wear but since I am currently working from home and playing house, for real I’ve become quite domestic, this dress makes for the perfect retro housewife look. Once I put the look together I realized I was totally serving some Lucille Ball, Ricky I Wanna Be In The Show Realness and since Lucy is one of my style icons and favorite red heads I decided to play it up!

Doris 2-In-1 Plus Size Dress: IGIGI (Gifted)/Heart Corset Belt: Torrid/Magenta Heels: Torrid

Pearl Earrings: Gift From Nightrider/Pearl Necklace: Mom’s Jewelry Box

Plus Size I Love Lucy

Come on what girl can resist a polk-a-dot? I know I can’t, they are seriously a weakness for me. When I first saw this dress on the site I was smitten, and when it arrived in the mail and I slipped this baby on I knew it was LOVE! Everything about this dress is perfection. It fits my body like a glove in a size 18/20 is a great length for a classy look and has some great features that make it ideal for the curvy curves. This dress feels rich and high quality (duh it’s IGIGI) and is actually really comfortable as well. It can appear like a top and a skirt with the A-line cut and separation of print under the breast and also camouflages a tummy which is an extra plus. The polk-a-dot trim on the cuffs  is really flexible and can actually fold down for a complete black sleeve which is wonderful and the 3/4 sleeves are perfect for the office or for strutting around the house feeling retro glam like i did today. Overall this dress is an A++++ and I highly recommend it to my plus girls no matter what walk of life you live. Would I steer you wrong?

This dress came with a sash that is a different black and white print than the polk-a-dots which I definitely find interesting and cute  but as you know I am not really into sashes. I opted to highlight my waist in this dress with a heart shaped Torrid corset belt from seasons ago to play up the fun of the look and give it a little youthful feeling. I also chose to wear my magenta suede heels also from Torrid to give the look a pop of color, and to pull in my pink lips.  I added a pearl necklace and earrings to pay homage to the pinup nature of the look as well. There is no makeup breakdown today but the pink lips, heavy cat eye liner and my pompadour completed the look for me.

What do you think about the Doris 2-In-1 Dress from IGIGI and they way I styled it? Who is one of your style icons?

What I Wore: “Something In The Way You Move”

Hi Friends!

Today I am totally feeling myself, yep it may sound conceited but I am loving everything about my look. Like honestly I could die looking like this and I would be 100% good with it. I woke up this morning and got ready to go pick up my Twaffle to run a few errands and work from her shop today and decided I wanted to bring as much drama to my hair and makeup as possible and pair it with a hip and edgy outfit including all of my favorite things.

Today on my face I have the following:

Fatshion OOTD

White Studded Collar Sleeveless Shirt: WetSeal (Gifted)/Black Ribbed Tank: Old Navy/

Cross Leggings: Torrid/Animal Print Flats: Maurices

I am absolutely in love with this white button up hi-low blouse my lovely friends at Wet Seal sent me! It is junior sizing, but I’m a size 22  and it fits great in a 3X. I absolutely love the gold studded details, the low coverage in the back (perfect for wearing with leggings) and the sheer light weight fabric.


Plus Size Outfit Of The Day

While I absolutely love the idea of these cross print leggings from Torrid, I do have to admit they are slightly flawed. The fit is great in a size 3, but the inside of the fabric is white and when thick thighs are in them stretching them out they get faded and you can see the white coming through. Great concept but room for improvement.

Animal Print Cross Earrings: Betsey Johnson/Pink Unicorn Necklace: Claire’s

I am not much of an accessory junkie but today I knew I wanted to mix prints with the black and white crosses and animal print in my shoes and earrings. My shoes are totally old and worn and not photograph friendly so no close-ups (Sorry) Since I said bye-bye to my pink hair last week I purchased this pink unicorn necklace to hold onto to a touch of pink and have been wearing it with everything. It’s fab, fun and totally matches my favorite lipstick!

I’m totally a great mood, loving my look and loving my life today!

What are you wearing today?

What I Wore: “Hit The Right Spot, Making My Eyes Roll Back”

March 29th, 2013 Stiletto Siren

Hey Friends!

UPDATE 4/2/13: This sweater has been restocked and is now available to purchase here!

Hope everyone is having an awesome week. I have been so super busy as it is Spring Break here and all the kids are out of school, plus the sun has been out so obviously all I wanna do is get out and play play play!

Yesterday I had a hair appointment and the fresh cut and color had me feeling all sorts of fabulous this morning so I knew I wanted to put on something post worthy and do a long-awaited outfit post! Last week I received a package from my friends at Wet Seal with some awesome items for me to review from their Jr. Plus line. I can honestly say this is the first time in a while that I have not only loved everything a company has sent me but also that everything fit like a dream and was completely my aesthetic  Seriously I feel like lately I am literally reverting back in age when it comes to the way I look and my personal style. I may just be 16 again so pieces from a junior line was certainly right up my alley!

Included in my review package was this edgy and fantastic rhinestone skull sweater that is EVERYTHING. Unfortunately the sweater is all sold out so I can’t link to it on the site but honestly so many of the items they have are edgy, fun, inexpensive and totally a good fit not only for juniors but also for curvy adult women who love fun clothes! For real I am a size 22 and got a 3X in all of the items they sent me and they all fit awesome.  This sweater is such a fun piece and I love the rhinestone detail dispersed throughout the skull to not make it overwhelmingly sparkly but just enough for that extra touch. The sweater is also lightweight and really soft and comfortable making it perfect for Spring. The length is also great and the neckline is nice and wide which I really dig. Overall a great piece!

In this look I also rocked the awesome lace effect sunnies my bff brought me back from a trip last week. I have referred to them as my Geriatric Lacey Realness shades because they totally remind me of old lady dilation glasses but with an extra fierceness that made me love them and wear them. Thanks Jami for knowing how much I love me some gas station sunglasses that make me feel very Gagaesque with a touch of Golden Girl. Ha!

What I Wore: The Shock & The Awe That Can Eat You Raw

November 5th, 2012 Stiletto Siren

Be Social!

Hey Curvy Chicks!

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend, I know I did! Today I knew I wanted to wear, shoot and do a review on the reversible poncho my incredibly wonderful friends at IGIGI sent me last month. It is finally getting chilly enough to wear, and I knew that I wanted to rock it out and wear it in an edgy way that in my opinion pretty much defines how I see my personal style. One of the reasons I  love reviewing IGIGI pieces is that they truly challenge me to interpret their timeless and well made classy pieces and turn the volume up a notch with my look to showcase how any woman can interpret her own personal style with IGIGI collections. In the end my look turned out exactly like I had envisioned and I am so incredibly excited to share this look with you today!

Cross Earrings: Rue21/Skull Infinity Scarf: Rue21/Renn Plus Size Reversible Poncho: IGIGI (Gifted 2012)/Sequin Tank Top: SWAK Designs (Gifted 2010)/Studded Corset Belt: Torrid/Grey Leggings:B&Lu (Gifted 2010)/Booties: Torrid (Gifted 2011)

When I saw the Renn Plus Size Reversible Poncho on the IGIGI site I instantly knew that I wanted to add it to my wardrobe and showcase it on my site. Ponchos are always a great fall staple and can get you through months where it is not quite jacket or coat weather but can add a comfy detail to a look that is also trendy and stylish.  This reversible poncho is great either way you wear it with a fabulous and classic print to add texture to a simple and easy look or as I wore it here with the black side up and little peaks of the print of the reversible side showing. For me I knew I wanted to pair this with some other pieces that included different prints and textures and felt that the black side played best with my look. Let me just say this poncho is so well made, just like all IGIGI pieces and is really heavy and warm and honestly perfect for a fall day. I think this poncho could also come in handy in the winter if paired with a long sleeved top and a thick bottom for a layered look. The poncho also comes with a well made thick sash for wrapping and creating a defined waist. The poncho itself has small slits in the front and back to assist with using the sash or other belts but they are nice and small and fairly undetectable if you wanted to wear this poncho open or without any belting. I also loved how easy the reversible zipper made this piece easy to wear and almost effortless to throw on when heading out and conquering the world. I received the Renn Plus Size Reversible Poncho in a size 18/20 and it fits true to size and is a piece I would truly recommend for any curvy girls fall/winter wardrobe!

What are you rockin today?
