Casual Friday/Latest Inspiration

TGIF everybody!

I’m always inspired by the fabulous plus size bloggers I follow.  Their blogs encourage me to pair items I would never thought to wear together.  My outfit today  is   inspired  by Tanesha of  Girl With Curves  post Layer Trick  .  After I saw her post,  I had to try layering a blouse underneath my sleeveless peplum shirt!  To achieve this look, I put  my  faux leather peplum shirt and  my 3/4 sleeve polka dot blouse together.   The blouse was thin enough to fit comfortably underneath the  shirt without adding bulk.  I didn’t want to wear all black so I opted for my fuchsia slim ankle pants for a pop of color (it wasn’t that cold today so my ankles didn’t freeze!).   I really liked how the blouse and peplum shirt looked together.  I will definitely wear this combo again.  Thanks Tanesha for the inspiration!

What clothes have you been inspired to wear?

Have a wonderful evening!

Old is New Again

Happy Wednesday all!

The thing I love about fashion is that old always becomes new again. I bet if you look in your closet, you probably have clothes you bought years ago that are now trendy.  The lace pencil skirt I’m wearing today is a prime example of this.   I bought this skirt back in 2002  when I needed a dressy outfit for the Captain’s Ball on a Caribbean cruise.   Over the years I was tempted to give the skirt away, but something always  stopped me.   Last week I was flipping through my People Style Watch magazine and I came upon an article announcing that lace was “in”.  BINGO!  I instantly  thought of this skirt and decided to wear it to work.  Looking at the skirt you would never know it is 10 years old!  So go, shop your closet and see what you have there.  You might be surprised at what  you might  find!

And for those readers in the Tri State area , don’t forget  Skinny Minority & Macy’s  (1300 Market Street) Fashion Night Out event in Center City.  The event will  start at 6:30pm  in the  Women’s Department on the 2nd Floor.  There will be giveaways, delicious eats and fun all around, so please come out and support!  Plus I’ll be walking the runway! Woo hoo!!!

Have a wonderful evening!!!
