12 DRESSES OF CHRISTMAS LOOK 7: NOT SO LITTLE BLACK DRESS

On the 7th day of Christmas my Fashion Fairy Gave to me.....
A not so little black dress

This dress has a great feel look and style to it that is sexy yet sophisticated.  I fabric is incredibly soft and the skit is so sex.  When I walk you get to see that peekaboo thigh that is the right amount of sexy.  


The back of the dress is completely out with a tie.  Isn't that just cute!!!! The high low is great for women who have a larger bottom then top but also great for taller women ad the dress flows.  

I added red shoes and a black purse with statement earrings to complete the look!!!

Dress: Eloquii
Shoes: Avenue

THICK THIGHS SAVE LIVES: My Body Positive Story

FOR SO LONG...I was ashamed of my thighs.  I hated that they were the biggest thing on my body. No matter how I improved my self esteem, they were always the thing on my body I didn't like. Plus, being 6 ft tall my legs are the first thing people see. So having big thighs made it even harder.

As you can imagine, wearing anything short was a huge NO NO for me. If I wore a skirt, I added leggings. No matter how hot is was outside, leggings was a must.

With popularity of the maxi dress came my salvation.  My prayers was answered.  No longer would I have to wear short dresses. That was until last summer.

Last summer, my mini me saw me getting dress and asked why I was wearing a long dress on a hot day.  She said, "Just wear your skirt and a top or a shirt dress mom." I said to her, "Mom is not really proud of her legs." She look down and said "But don't you say all part of me is beautiful. So all parts of you is beautiful too." (SMART GIRL RIGHT!!!!) I gave her a huge hug with watery eyes and said thank you.


Now I realize that my think thighs are fine.  If and when I want them to be smaller slimmer then they will be but I shouldn't sacrifice my fashion for my fears.  So let the thick thighs fly!!!!
To all my fashionista..lets pledge to let one body part out this summer.


Rather its your legs, chest, upper arms, or whatever lets you think is too big.....its not.  Throw aside the leggings, cami and sweaters for the summer.

Let your thick ____ shine!!!

OOTD: GET A LITTLE SEXY PRABAL GURUNG PART II


I say all the time "God knew what he was doing when me made me a big girl cause if I was skinny I would never wear clothes!"  Some would say that it should matter what size I am where as little or as much as you want (and I agree) but with years of people telling me to cover up, I've gotten into my head that "you can be fashionable but sexy...no" Its sometimes hard to show a little skin....but not this outfit.





This floral top it made it a whole lot easier to show a little skin in this warmer weather.  It was the first thing I though to do when I saw the skirt.  Once I added the blue trench I knew this would be a great outfit!!!

 The "fanny pack" made its return stylistas!!!!

 I had so much fun rocking this outfit.  The accessories I add was such a great add to a sexy outfit.

HEY STYLISTAS!!!!
I know I know..its been a LONG time since I did an outfit post.
I can only say that grad school is a killer but that's still no excuse to not bring you guys the business!!!  I really miss sharing my style with you guys but I kept putting it off because school, my mini me, family/friends or sickness (will tell you about that later) kept getting in the way of creating bomb ass photos.  So I decided to make a date with my stylistas to give you guys some eye candy.





I got a room at the FAB Fairmont hotel in Brooklyn and and snapped some amazing photos in their lobby.  How perfect was this room for my outfit!!! Can I just say that I had some staff turning heads but what an amazing feeling to be back in front of the camera.

 The red what and blue print on print is just what I need to kick start spring 2017!!! I love everything about this print and the mixing and matching I will do with other things in my closet will extend the life of these for a very long time. .


Kept my accessories simple to accentuate the silver buttons of the shirt but had to break out my red heels and blue bag to tie the colors together.

Trust and believe I will try my best to not stay away so long.  But there's more to come.

12 DRESSES OF CHRISTMAS DRESS 7: LBD

On the 7th day of Christmas my Fashion Fairy Gave to me...

Little Black Dress by Avenue
 A little black dress will always be the staple dress for the holiday.  When wearing a black dress, you want to add color to stop if from being dull.  For the dress, we added a punch of color in the shoes. 

As I was taking the photo I started to draw a small crowd which always worries me.  I wonder what's the stares are about? After looking at the photos I understood why.  The dotted dress and pompom shoes were perfect for a night on the town.  Plus when they see a plus girl with a dress up to her knees the marvel at her confidence.  Me....I didn't even notice.  It was a beautiful yet simple dress

Add a sequins belt to add some texture and define the waist.
THATS ALL SHE NEEDS!!!

OOTD: WHITE MAXI DRESS



HAPPY MONDAY STYLISTAS!!!

August is coming to an end but not before a few more hot summer days and cooler nights before this Summer comes to a close.  We have a whole lot more to fun in the sun outfits don't we? This summer has been a hot one but I've kept cool with some great fashion choices and by celebrated them all.




White dresses are still the coolest and best thing to wear hot days and I LOVE a white dress.
This maxi dress is one of my favorite.  Granted being 6 feet tall I have a hard time purchasing maxi dresses but this one was long enough.  I bought just in time to wear a few more warm days of summer.
Chilling on the pier can get a bit windy so, I added a shear colorful scarf to drape over my arms as the sun went down and the winds picked up.


Kept my makeup simple with a dewy face and pale lip. Love this makeup with its warm out.  Looks like I've been kiss by the sun right?
 
I sat on the pier and enjoyed the sound of the waves crashing and kids flying their kites (and yes Marry Poppins "Fly a Kite" did pop into my head). What a great summer day with a great summers outfit.


Oh and by the way...here are a few other dresses that are perfect for summer from the same retailer. 

What has been your favorite white dress of Summer16?  Share your look in the comments below.
