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!!!

Half Way There…The Ones I Forgot!

Happy Hump Day!

Here are  few extra favorite  outfits I completely forgot about in Monday’s post.  To be honest I’ve been in a kinda style rut lately but I promise to get back into the groove of things by Friday’s post.

Have an awesome day!

Half Way There

Happy Monday all!
So its been seven months since my first post way back in January.  In these seven months I’ve learned so much about myself and blogging.  I find that blogging helps me to continue my journey and keeps me honest. I still struggle with my self-esteem but it’s not nearly as crippling as it used to be.   Your comments and support mean the world to me.  The love you have shown me is tremendous and I want to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart.

With that said I wanted to do a  retrospect of my favorite outfits so far.   These outfits highlight me  becoming  more open to stepping outside my comfort zone and taking a risk.

On another note, if you live  in Philadelphia  or in the surrounding areas, please come out and support Curvy Closet’s event on Saturday September 1st.   The event looks like is going to be a lot of fun.  Plus there will be an opportunity to shop til you drop so check it out!

Have a wonderful day!

Casual Friday/Color Tribe

Happy Saturday everyone!

I first wore this colorful tribal print dress during Full
Figure Fashion Week. I was so excited about meeting my favorite bloggers I totally forgot to take an outfit pic! So my post today is to remedy that mistake.

If you don’t own a Calvin Klein dress, try one soon. Calvin Klein has been making plus size clothes for some time now and the quality of their dresses are outstanding. The dresses are not boring and outdated. They have classic work staples but include many pieces that are on trend. I’ve not been disappointed with the quality of the fabric and cut of their dresses. They get that plus size women want to look sleek and sophisticated whether they’re going to the office or hanging out with friends.

I apologize for my necklace being askew in the pic. I gotta remember to keep it classy! LOL

Have a wonderful weekend!

P.S. This dress comes with a belt but I didn’t wear it because I couldn’t find it in my closet! Whoops! Lol
