Curves Around The World - Steal Her Style

Good Morning, fabulous friends!!!

 

Curves Around the World is formed by a group of 5 ladies located all over the world. We do themed outfits every week and we are all plus sized sisters celebrating our fabulous curves.

 

For this week, we thought it would be nice to steal each others style for change and see what one comes up with. So, this weeks theme is STEAL HER STYLE!!!

 

I am stealing Aislynn's Style this week. She is from Denmark. According to me - Aisylnn's Style is Glam, Classy, Simple and Chic. Her looks always have clean lines and she is a lover of accessories (neckpieces and bracelets) but she goes for the understated pieces that definately catch your eye. She does wear color (I have seen her in RED and in GREEN) and looks gorgeous in them. My choice of dress came from her love of colour and accessories came from her great eye & taste for jewellery!!!

 

My translation of her style has been challenging because I go all out most of the time but it has been fun to attempt her style. I did not take a specific outfit she wore and replicate it - what I did is try to feature most of the elements of her style in this outfit. I hope you see her style in my outfit.

 

I wore this outfit to a wedding last weekend and had a blast showing it off. I hope my inspiration of her style translated well and yes, please check her style here to decide if I have done a great job or not.

Curves Around The World: Seasonal

 

Good Morning - guys!!!

 

I have been very scarce and as a result this post is very late but I thought its better late than never. So, I am posting it anyway. Please forgive me, I really like being consistent with my posts. Life just happened!!!

This posts theme is SEASONAL because 5 of us (Curves Around the World participants) live in different countries with different Season through out the year.

 

I am in South Africa and right now its the end of Spring and the beginning of Summer and this is the kind of weather I love because I get to wear simple, flowy, airy and colourful outfits which lift my mood. I don't know why but I think there is something remedial about it.

 

So, this is my take for Spring/Summer Season Outfit!!!

 

What is the current season where you are and which one is your favourite???

Curves Around the World: PLAID/TARTAN

 

Hello, my fabulous friends!!!

 

PLAID, PLAID, PLAID ... Some call it Tartan - This is one of the trends that are going strong all over the world currently and its not different here in South Africa. As a result its difficult to get decent pieces with ease :(

 

This weeks Curves Around the World theme is the famous PLAID. You have already guessed it, right??? I love this trend as it is versatile in every persons wardrobe. So, for this challenge I have worn my PLAID VEST and  paired it with thrifted sweat pants -- which fit me as leggings, lol ....

 

As you can see: I have great love for my electric blue shoes and bag :) I am a guilty accessories repeater, forgive me guys :) We don't buy things to wear them once do we??? lol

 

I am really pushing it with this outfit, I have a crop top showing my tummy, peg leg sweat pant or must I say LEGGINGS??? Anywho, I think my outfit is perfect!!! My hair is also absolutely bangin :) 

 

Have you tried the plaid trend??? If not, id advise that you should - it really is fun and versatile. Try all nice colours. Mix with prints, polka dots, animal print, bold bright colours and see where plaid takes you. In short, have fun with it :)

 

What do you think of my outfit???

Safari Queen

Good Evening, guys!!!

 

Hope you enjoyed your weekend and are ready for work tomorrow!

 

I am definately not ready for work and could do with an extra day but that is definately not possible - It is what it is :(

 

This is just another pant outfit I am sharing with you. I am not a pant person regardless, I can wear pants anytime I need to, because I can :) Its just a choice I don't all the time!!! This specific pant from todays outfit happens to be one of my favourite because it is animal printed and has pockets. It is comfortable. As a result it made me feel like a Safari Queen, yes!!! A Safari Queen:)

 

What is your ideal Safari outfit?

Pants: Woolworths

Curves Around The World: Signature Colour

 

Good Evening, guys!!!

 

This weeks theme is a toughie for me, SIGNATURE COLOR!!! Who has a signature color?? I dont, Lol :)

 

 

Bright colors suit my skin very well and makes it glow brighter but ... a very big BUT I prefer earthy toned colors. Not just one but all earthy colors - I love them solo or combined together. They really just do it for me :)

 

 

I wore this outfit last weekend out and about in the evening with Thandiwe my close friend - whilst getting ourselves snacks in some shop: we just randomly started taking pictures and imagine the stares we got our way. Good thing we didn't care cause we were just fooling around and having fun.

 

 

This outfit has a combination of earthy colors: olive, brown and oxblood. There is an extra light blue color that blends well with all other colors worn. I think did well combining them all!!!

 

 

Whats your signature color, if you have one???

 

Dress: Woolworths

Nike Hitops: Zando

Cardigan: Truworths

Bag: Coach

Snood: Woolworths

Earings: Gift from a friend

OOTD: Nautical Sunday

Hello my Fab Sista's

 

Last Sunday I came across Palesa's Outfit on Instagram and instantly fell inlove. I instantly challenged myself to replicate her look. I even left a comment on her IG that I'll give it a go.

 

On Monday when going to work the weather was cold and raining so I managed to replicate this outfit as I was eager to try it out but could only take pictures inside my office. At the end of the day, I was unsatisfied with the quality of my pictures and the dress I wore was a bit longer - my goal was really not achieved on this day.

 

I told myself I am not resting until I get this challenge right. Today, I think I got it right even though I am not wearing big blocked striped dress same as hers - for me: this is MISSION ACCOMPLISHED kinda moment :)

 

The message I am trying to relay on this post is that all of us need to be inspired by each other, NO MATTER THE SIZE. Plus Size ladies need to stop being negative and bitter when seeing a normally sized individual killing it on the streets instead lets be inspired to try things out and see how far we can go challenging ourselves to getting closer to the outfit of inspiration. 

 

The truth is that we can never look the same as the people who inspire us but can look better FOR US because the challenge is for us, by us and about us #nopressurePLEASE :) We are all beautiful!!! 

 

Palesa looks amazing on this nautically inspired outfit and OFCOZ, so is myself :) I feel satisfied with what I did for this challenge. I got inspired and I brought in my own flavour :)

 

What do you think???
