Curves Around the World: Scarf

Hey, Guys!!!

It's time for Curves Around the World themed outfit and this week's theme is a Scarf accessory. I am thrilled about this post because I use scarves all year round to spice up my outfits.

For this post I have used my favourite red polka dotted scarf. This scarf goes with everything and is so user friendly. The pop of colour this scarf adds to my outfits is really amazing and the texture is very soft against my skin (a KEEPER).

If you have been following me for longer I am sure you know this scarf and im sure you are asking why this again and I am doing this because I just cant stay away from this scarf cause its easy to style it with my outfits in many different ways. This is the best purchase ive ever made in my life :)

I hope you love scarves as much as I do :)

Curves Around The World: Neon

 

Good Evening, Friends!!!

 

Its Wednesday and you know what that means :)

Yes, Curves Around The World themed plus size outfits!!!

 

Its no different this week as well .... Our theme is NEON!!!

I love bright colours and the suit my skin colour perfect (that's what I think - esp. when convincing myself to wear more bright colours, lol).

 

This week I decided to feature Chubby Cartwheels famous bandeau. The bandeau's HOT PINK colour qualifies for our theme. On my last post I paired this bandeau with a bodycon skirt and this time around I decided on pairing with pants to show the versatility of this Chubby Cartwheels bandeau.

 

I get inspired by Shawna and working with her and also dressing her designs has really assisted me in enhancing myself's body love and also spreading the word to all of you - emphasizing to love yourselves so much the way you are RIGHT NOW.

 

By wearing pants with this bandeau I am trying to show you its ok to just live in the moment and be yourself. Also in need to say - its ok to show some skin. I know, my tummy is not flat and all but I comfortable to just show it anyway.

 

I must say, I am getting much more comfortable with myself taking, looking at and posting my pictures showing my imperfections to all of you because ive grown to love and accept them as they are.

 

As much as I promote being healthy but I am sorry - I am not gonna wait until I am 50kgs lighter to love myself. I love myself NOW, tomorrow and definately on the day Id lose that much weight. Happiness, Self love and positivity will definately help me get to my goal weight cause stress will do the opposite.

 

I say NO  to STRESS and BODY NEGATIVITY...

 

"Cheers to Body Positivity RIGHT NOW,

regardless of imperfections!!!"

 

Hope you love my small dose of NEON :)

Curves Around The World: Collars

Good Evening, guys :)

 

Its Curves Around The World time  and this time around we are rocking them COLLARS, lol!!!

 

I really wanted to wear a shirt for this challenge as I don't wear enough of them due to not being comfortable wearing them most of the time.

 

Would have really loved to rock that closed up Collared Shirt with a statement neckpiece look - I didn't, I guess I need to really push myself next time. I just have issues with too much serious looks and collared clothing brings that for me. I may be paranoid but I think, its so not me .... I am all about comfort first and then being stylish within my Smart Casual Style.

 

It may sound as if I hate collars but in actual fact I really do love them in Jackets, though and shirt dresses. For this challenge my Collar comes from the denim vest.

 

The weather is still hot and all I wear currently are Maxi Dresses and more maxi dresses. This time around its no different, I rocked my Maxi at work on Friday with my collared vest and sandals and I honestly think its a winning outfit :)

 

Do you love collars and rock them often??? In what form do you like them?

Good Night smile for all of you :)

Curves Around The World: DIY

Hello, Friends :)

 

Its 2014, yes 2014 and I hope you all have landed safely in this new year! I am still on holiday at my mom's place and it is still very nice to be away from work and just be busy with family and holiday matters.

 

This is the first post of Curves Around the World this year and the theme is DIY. Ever since our list completion for this round I have been very excited with this theme which was chosen by Nina my mate from our group. This happiness was stemming from the fact that I always tailor my items to fit me the way I need and therefore that means - most of my outfits are practically DIYed to suit my unique figure, lol :) 

 

For this outfit - I am wearing a Boob Tube Dress which I worked on to have sleeves as the top hem was not tight enough to stay fixed in one place and for this I used a belt that came with the dress.

 For the purpose of this theme, I am showcasing how I have turned a recently bought shirt into a vest and also show how I have ensembled an outfit with this repurposed shirt. 

 

I love DIY projects because they allow me to be creative and have unique and interesting items. My DIY love extends to accessories as well. I love changing the ones I already own into something special for example, giving an ordinary bangle a new life by wrapping it in a fresh and colourful print that can be re peeled into original state of the bangle in future when one is tired of that print cover.

 

I like simple projects as I don't really have ample time to be exploring complicated ones.

 

How far do you go with DIY Projects??? Love them just like me? What is your latest creation?

 

"Below is how I repurposed my shirt - cutting the sleeves only"

Curves Around The World: CLUTCH BAG

 

Good Morning, Friends!!!

 

The festive season is heating up and going to work these days just doesn't make sense at all. Its a pity for people like me cause the only time ill join my family is around the 23rd December 2013. Until then, I just have to hang in there :)

 

This weeks Curves Around the World theme is CLUTCH BAG!!! This is one theme that is really not talking to me - I mostly carry sling bags and most of them are not even easy to convert into clutch bags. Clutch bags I have are very small and meant for formal events so, thinking of using them for this specific post was just out of question only because these days I am less motivated to really dress up as all I am thinking about is my departure to home. 

 

Below is a picture of me in just the only clutch that is decent enough for me carry with my current unmotivated outfits. This picture is actually extracted from our first ever theme ANIMAL PRINT - check more pictures and read that post here.

  

 

Today, I decided to chop all my hair down because I was due for another hairdo and I just opted to go natural and NO REGRETS so far :)

 

 

I changed into a thrifted sweater later because the weather got more cooler than during the day.  

 

 

Its unfortunate that I left the clutch I have shown you at my mothers house from my last visit and for this theme I used my Chanel Double Flap Bag as a clutch. I made short the hardware sling and tucked it inside to be able to carry it as a clutch. Whoalla, a lady needs to be creative in crisis situations and I am happy I did just that with the help of my work security guards on my way home (ONE OF THEM TOOK MY PICTURES and im so thankful). Desperate times call for desperate measures :)
