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: Girls Night Out

 

Hello, ladies!!!

 

Girls Night Out - yes, that's the theme for Curves Around the World for this week. I love Girls Night Outs because all they are filled with is happiness, updates about each others lives, naughtiness :) yes, naughtiness - flirting, dancing and glasses of whatever one feels like drinking. I always don't know what to expect when I go out with my friends cause we all have interesting characters - good thing is that when we do go out - We know how to have fun :) 

 

I bought this swing dress from Asos last year and I have worn it twice and when I do wear it, I always wear it with stockings because it is a bit short and the weather is always a bit chilly.

 

Next time when I go out with my girls I am planning to wear this dress without stockings. Its spring and soon will be summer: come on, I cant be burning myself because I have to cover up.

 

I know, I am FAT but seriously sometimes I need a break from everyone and everything reminding me of FAT DONT's!!! Cant one just be free for a day and/or night, really? When it comes to such rules - I totally switch off and shutdown - I become totally rebellious and ensure to prove a point afterwards by challenging myself to show whoever interested that actually, it is ok not to comply.

 

I had a little challenge for myself today - I challenged my self to take pictures with this dress and actually write this post for everyone in the whole world to see that " it actually is ok, to be imperfect sometimes and not be too serious about things and just live and enjoy the moment: cause to be honest few people might notice you anyway - people are busy with their own issues.

 

You can call it justification but I call it self love cause "my fatness doesn't define me instead its part of me" and I am IN CHARGE. Enough about me, your turn :)

 

Whats  you ideal outfit for going out at night with the girls???

Monochrome: Part 2

Good evening, fabulous ladies!

 

Tonight I am just sharing the post I did not use for my Curves Around the World - Monochrome Theme as I decided to use the previous post over it. The previous outfit post was inspired by this one. So these pictures I took  them when I went out with girls on a Saturday night out for drinks and Barbeque. It really was a great night and I was looking hot and sexy in my black and white number. I bought the dress at Asos in 2012 and I am still loving it big time.   

 

I should really mention that by the time I remembered taking these pictures I already had few glasses of wine and I was full with Barbie and that's confirmed by my loose dress belt hehehehehe. The quality and focus of these pictures is not great I am sure my photographer was in the same state, lol. What else can we do when we decide to let loose??? Overall, I had a great evening.

 

So, dig in folks and enjoy :) Your feedback is highly appreciated.

Curves Around The World: Week 6 - Colour Blocking

Good Morning, fabulous fashionistas!!!

 

You all know that, it is that time of the week for "The Themed Outfits" with my beautiful lady friends who are from all over the world. I must say I am happy I came across these girls in the bloggerville world. I am really loving these themed outfit exercises as they really challenge me and it feels good when I succeed doing them.

 

This weeks theme is COLOUR BLOCKING and by far it is the most that has really challenged me as I never tried the trend before. I really tried my best so you need to cut me some slack and forgive all discrepancy identified.

At first I thought id do royal blue and yellow but I recently had posted an outfit with yellow accents and it felt wrong to be using the same colours for this theme. Pink came to my rescue.

 

I wore this outfit to work on Monday and it got highly windy and very cold after taking these pictures. Thank god my mink jacket saved me. My hat is a recent purchase from Alwal North Foschini. Got it from the sale rack...it sold for R199.00 and I got it for R120.00. So, I just had to wear it this day although weather did not approve. I cared less, I just needed to wear it. You know when you have bought something new - you get excited and itch to wear it #that's how I felt: the wind was never gonna stop me at all, lol. 

 

Please enjoy this post cause I really made an effort putting everything together. Taking these pictures was really fun as I jumped around posing. I must say I love the pictures, they are a great translation of how I was that day. I really thank my colleague Ntembi for being patient with me even when the weather sucked.  She really is an awesome photographer - am lucky to have her :)

The only principle I know about colour blocking is that, one should not use more than 3 colours when putting together a colour blockin outfit. So, I used royal blue, plum and pink - I did pretty good, I think - the colour mix well. What is your opinion? 

"The wind really punished me on many of these pics - please excuse some"
