Full Figure Fashion Week Pt. 2

Happy Hump Day all!

After the Lane Bryant conference last Wednesday, I headed back to my sister Virgie’s house to get ready for the Curves at Sea cruise.  I was excited to be attending my first  all white affair. Since I bought the ticket back in April, I was able to take my time and  find the perfect  dress to wear. Luckily plus size fashion has come a long way (but still has a ways to go!) so I had plenty of   options to choose from.  I stumbled upon this wonderful dress from Coldwater Creek (yes, Coldwater Creek!) during their 50% off promotion. The soutache embellishment on the skirt totally sold me so I ordered it.  I was relieved when I tried it on and  it  fit perfectly.  My search was over!

Happy Monday all!

After a quiet weekend, my girlfriends and I decided to head out Sunday night. It’s been awhile since we’ve gone out dancing. Back in the day, we would club hop until the wee hours of the morning and get into all kinds of mischief. Now when we hang out, we’re calling it a night at 10:30pm! While club hopping has lost it’s luster, once in a while we like to get gussied up and head out to shake our groove thangs! LOL

How was your weekend?!

Have a great day!

Something’s Gotta Give

Happy Hump Day all!

In “Something’s Gotta Give” (one of my favorite romantic comedies) there’s scene where Diane Keaton is wearing this fabulous white suit while confronting Jack Nicholson’s character at a restaurant.  After seeing her in that suit, I wanted one of my own.   Unfortunately back then  the thought of wearing all white scared the hell out of me, so I shelved my white suit dreams.  Now wearing all white is no longer  a taboo for me.  This morning, I  put together pieces in my wardrobe  and decided to make my white suit dreams come true!

Would you wear a white suit?

Have a great day!

Weekend Edition: Savvy Summer with London Times!

Happy Monday all!

Philadelphia comes alive in the Summer with block parties, street festivals and outdoor concerts. On Sunday afternoon my friend Tawanda and I went to the annual Odunde Festival celebrating African culture.  It was a bright sunny day perfect for a street festival.  Since I’m participating  in  London Times “Savvy Summer” campaign, I decided to wear their comfortable  blouson dress to the outing (without the heels of course!).  Tawanda and I had a great time  listening to music, eating good food and enjoying each others company.

How was your weekend?

Have a wonderful day!

Casual Friday/Back in the Saddle

TGIF all!

I finally returned to work  this week after jury duty and I have to say I was glad to be back!  I’m pretty autonomous at my job so I missed being able to work at my own pace. Luckily there wasn’t a huge pile of work waiting  for me  so it easy to get back into the swing of things.   Another thing I missed was dressing up for work.  Don’t get me wrong, I love being casual but I also love wearing a cute work outfit with a great pair of shoes!

Have a wonderful weekend!
