Office Party Shine

Happy Hump Day all!

The holiday season always makes me want to dress up, so I decided to add some glam to my outfit today for my department’s Christmas party. This sequin shirt from Eloquii was a perfect choice because it has just enough sparkle that doesn’t overwhelm the outfit. Pairing it with my herringbone slacks and teal jacket tones down the sequins and makes it work appropriate. I didn’t want to wear plain brown shoes so slipped on my favorite leopard print heels (hey I’m pattern mixing!). I then added gold accessories to complete my outfit.

Speaking of glam, if you’re still looking for that perfect holiday dress IGIGI has some wonderful deals for you! From Thursday, December 20th until Wednesday December 26th, take 20% off dresses with the code TIME2SHINE. And don’t worry about paying extra for shipping, IGIGI is offering free shipping and returns on all continental US orders until December 30th. No minimum to ship and no code needed…isnt that great?!

Have a wonderful day!

Casual Friday/Rainbow Bright

TGIF everyone!

This morning I woke up to a cloudy, dreary day. To add further insult to injury, the weather reports are predicting that Hurricane Sandy will make landfall early next week! UGH! A cranky Georgette is not a good Georgette (LOL!) so wearing this vibrant outfit was just what I needed to lift my spirits. As you probably have noticed, I love color. There is something about putting on a brilliant hue that instantly makes me feel better. Instead of having a scowl on my face this morning, I was smiling. Sure I got a few “what the hell is she wearing ” kind of stares on the train platform but I didn’t care. All I know is that I felt good and in the end that’s all that matters!

What are some of the ways you improve your mood?

Have a wonderful evening!

Back in Black

Happy Thursday all!

I want apologize for my lack of blogging this week. I got KOed by the flu earlier this week and just returned to work today. I feel 100% better now and so happy to be able t0 breathe out of both nostrils!

The dress I’m wearing today is from the Sean Anthony Designs Fall Collection. I bought this dress during their trunk show at BellaNOR Boutique last Saturday evening. BellaNOR is a wonderful plus size boutique here in Philadelphia featuring many labels such as Monif C, Igigi and Kioynna. I’ve driven past the boutique a few times and wanted to stop in but never had the chance so the trunk show was the perfect opportunity to check it out.

I was immediately drawn to the dress because I don’t own a LBD! (bad blogger, bad! LOL). Another thing that drew me in was the asymmetrical neckline. Usually plus size dresses have either a vee or scoop neck so this was different. The dress accentuates your curves but it isn’t tight or constricting. The comfortable knit material has great stretch to it which didn’t ride up when I walked. The length is appropriate for work and looks great with heels. It’s a dress that can easily go from day to night with a switch of shoes and accessories.

I paired my dress with gold accessories and my leopard print kitten heels (which are so comfy I want to wear them everyday!) to finish my outfit. I would definitely recommend you check out Sean Anthony Designs. The collection offers quality clothing at affordable prices. We need to support designers who want to provide stylish, good quality clothing to curvy women . Also if you are in the Philadelphia area, please visit BellaNOR Boutique. The boutique provides a much needed space where the plus size consumer can feel wonderful about herself and her body.

Have a wonderful evening!

Stepping Up

TGIF!!!

This past week, I was going through my sandals and I noticed something…they were all FLAT! Over the years I convinced myself that I would fall if I wore wedges or heels, so I shied away from them. Now Ive decided to move outside my comfort zone and add some height to my summer shoe wardrobe. Here are a few pairs of shoes I’m loving right now.

Are you going to give wedges or heels a try this summer? Have a great weekend!
