pas de DEUX

 

As promised here is part two;

Lately I have been gravitating towards the black and white palette and consequently I have purchased a few clothing pieces with that color combination.

The sun dress is the quintessential summer staple, it even has "sun" in its name.

During Full Figure Fashion week I spotted this dress and i knew it was coming home with me.I love this dress for three reasons it has a palm print (vacation!!), it was thirteen dollars and it features the silhouette of the moment the "fit and flare".

For fall I decided to go for a "school girl" inspired look I layered a blouse underneath the dress and turned it into a pinafore. 

In addition the blouse was buttoned all the way to the top, a statement necklace and botties completed the look

depending on your weather you can go bear legs or if its a bit chilly add some tights.Their is just something I love about black tights and black botties 

DRESS, BLOUSE - H&M JACKET OLD - JC PENNY SHOES- TARGET

P.S I Got this dress from H&M ( I love the H&M's in New York City they dont make em the same)

LAYERS

When I first came up with the concept for this blog I told my self I would be posting twice a week definitely not twice a month lol! but as they say, we plan God laughs; I am so busy these days I go days without coming across anything fashion related (well maybe not days more like 18-24 hours!)

On the other hand it is still like 80 degrees were I live during the day, but it does drop significantly at night which annoys me because by mid day I am sweating! We are currently experiencing climate-control issue's in my workplace( thats a long story)
hence my previous statement.

Consequently I decided do a series on how I transition my favorite summer pieces for fall. Rompers/playsuit have been out for about three summers but believe it or not, I only have one and I bought it this summer ( I am most comfortable with classics and when I do venture out I have strict parameters). I hate spending a lot of money on trendy things especially when they will not come back the following year so I wait. Needless to say the romper kept on coming back and I finally found one in my size, my price point, and in a flattering silhouette. So off course you know, that I couldnt just store it away just because summer is over. 

Here is a typical summer outfit 

would have added a fedora and shades if I didn't have my hair in this retro inspired style 

To transition the romper for fall the first thing I did was to layer on a light sweater

I chose the sweater because I wanted to play with prints, it has graduated stripes and is in a neutral palette just like the romper. To add some color I choose my purple suede loafers and I finished the look off with a printed bag that also had the same shade of purple to tie the whole look together.

Finally I added another layer for warmth
(you can decided to add as many layers as you would like )

 If its colder where you live and if your like me and you dont want to give up your romper, all you have to do is add some opaque tights, which with this particular outfit I would pair with combat boots and a red lip,to compliment the red in the bag.
P.S Stay tuned for the other pieces I will be transitioning for fall and also for the giveaway winner announcement
( I havnt forgotten).

BFSC:BABY NEON AND PRINT ( HIGH WAISTED)

I am so happy to have 3 items crossed of my BFSC list, I am still trying to come up with a strategic plan to get all the posts in by the 31st lol! So right now my focus is on finishing the challenge,I know it may seem like I have tunnel vision but I promise to post other content once the challenge is over.

When I spotted these scarf print pants at Target I did a double take.My love for palazzo pants has been growing and I had been seriously lusting for the palazzo pants at Zara, but unfortunately they have limited sizing.

Similarly my love for neon has increased exponentially.I spotted both pieces during a trip to target and I knew they would make a perfect combination. 

Tee, Pants and Sandals: Target  clutch:Vintage Watch: Micheal Kors  

Necklaces: Forever21, Asos  Rings and Bracelets: Forever21 and Charlotte  Russe

Target is one of my favorite places to shop because they are a wonderful source for trendy inexpensive pieces,they go up to 3x in straight sizes, they have a plus size section and extended shoe sizes.
P.S Thanks to Chanelfiles I have added additional(Target)items  to my never ending list of wants Lord help me!

CARMAKOMA FALL PREVIEW

So if you are conversant with the plus-size blog-o-sphere you have probably come across the CARMAKOMA fall preview. So instead of regurgitation the same post I decide to do a post on my favorites. 

As you can tell I really love the skirts

 If you havnt heard of Carmakoma they are a Danish brand and I first heard about them from Gabifresh. Since then I have been following their rise and I have to say that I like what their brand has evolved into.

water color , hi-lo, brocade shorts, peplum yes please

gorgeous takes on the LBD lace and cut-outs can I say more

However I must say that at the beginning I felt that their vision was very niche based, but now from what I can see, there is a little bit in the collection for everyone. 

If you want to see the entire preview, you can check out  Jasiferslionsclub(which is wear I saw it first)and please come back and let me know what your picks are.


P.S I know its the middle of summer, and all that's on your mind is pastels, neons, florals, and color unfortunately this how the fashion industry works they never let you enjoy the season

SONSI FFFWEEK RECAP: Curves Connections & Cocktails Event & Be-YOU-tiful POP-UP PARTY

So if you are following me on any of my social media platforms you would know that I was in New York for FULL FIGURE FASHION WEEK ( click here for info). I attended two events the Curves, connections and cocktail event (Curvy Cabaret) and the Sonsi Be-YOU-tiful pop-up party. 
The first event I went to was the Curves and Connections event and the highlight of my night was having Fluvia Lacerda compliment my dress. 
I was exhausted can you tell from the picture,.... I am very shy so I have been trying to put myself out there; anywho it took all I had to walk up to her,and as you can see it payed off.
Unfortunately I didn't get any footage because I misplaced my camera, however I hope these pictures will be enough.

FULL FIGURE FASHION WEEK is an annual event and last year was my first time going, this year I was lucky enough to attend a  networking event 

( my first ever Press event) 

sponsored  by Sonsi which was the pop-up party.

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing/meeting bloggers, especially the ones I know virtually like Alyssa,Jennifer,Marcy,Jessica,Marie and many more.

  

 we were treated to h'orderves and there were stations where we could get 5 min manicures & our makeup done

We also got to preview Sonsi Swimwear as well as swak designs fall collection in addition there was a bra fitting station as well as a raffle (basically mini pampering sessions)

BIG FAT SUMMER CHALLENGE: WEAR A MAXI

If you are curvy/plus-size/fat/full figured then I know that at one time or the other you have struggled with summer time attire.

So if you dont know what the Big Fat Summer Challenge is it is a challenge that requires us to wear certain items within a certain time frame (started by Jennifer of jasiferlionsclub )

The challenge is designed to get us to try other fashion alternatives as well as get us out of our comfort zone. 

Top: Forever21 Skirt: Forever21 Bag :Forever21 Sandals: Target Watch: Michael Kors 

For someone who loves fashion as much as I do I am usually very practical about what I buy, and also tend to buy classics. 

I really dislike spending money on trendy items for multiple reasons, but mostly because I have a pretty rigid budget and also because I thrift shop. Anyway I was on the look out for a chiffon maxi skirt; so when I spotted these bad boys in the non-plus section of Forever 21 my heart did a little dance.

P.S Just realized that I pretty much wore head to toe forever21
