Starting something new today & adding an OOTD (Outfit of the Day) section to my blog. Since I always post my OOTD’s on Instagram why NOT post them on here too. Being a FULL FIGURED/THICK/CURVY/VOLUPTUOUS woman & dressing curves can be extremely challenging not to mention trying to HIDE problematic areas! I get how frustrating it can be to dress for your size/shape.
Just because you wear DOUBLE DIGITS doesn’t mean you CANNOT look fly! On the contrary SEXY exudes from within, the trick is to rock what works for you & your shape. YOU can dress just as cute as a woman wearing a size 1…just takes a little more imagination to get the pieces flowing together!
This 1st post is dedicated to my girl @MsJilliana for giving me the push to do this! Make sure to follow her on Twitter, she is always posting great ideas on fashion for kids (little girls, she is a bit biased since her daughter IS ADROBS!)
Today I am rocking:
Black Blazer by H&M for $34.95
Blouse by Cynthia Rowley (found at Marshall’s for $16.95) loose fit, comfy & hides any problematic tummy issues
Pants by Ellen Tracy Slim Ankle Pants (found at Marshall’s for $24.95) fits under the waste, for the curvier built woman
Heels by Betsey Johnson

December 1st Neiman Marcus Partners Up With Target For Holiday Shopping
WOW!!! This is going to be a serious money maker. Who wouldn’t want to buy affordable Neiman Marcus products by 24 different designers? The consumers will be able to purchase first-come first serve gifts by Carolina Herrera, Marc Jacobs, Oscar De La Renta, Alexander McQueen, Jason Wu and the list goes on. Prices will range from $7.99-$499.99, the marketing mastermind behind this partnership is a genius.
LA Times reports — Come the holidays, Target and Neiman Marcus are joining forces, co-launching a special collection with more than 50 products from 24 designers.
The first-come, first-serve giftable offerings will be designed by the likes of Carolina Herrera, Marc Jacobs, Oscar de la Renta, Diane Furstenberg and more and made available on both retailers’ websites and in stores on Dec. 1.
Items will cost anywhere between $7.99 (standard Target pricing) and $499.99 (more Neiman Marcus’ speed).
The lady and the tramp partnership is an unusual one, considering that one pair of earrings at Target goes for about $10 while the dangly baubles at Neiman Marcus easily run past $1,000.
Target has nearly 1,800 stores. Neiman Marcus operates fewer than 100. Good luck finding the paper towels and groceries sold at the former on the shelves of the latter.
The concept of high-low capsule collections is one of Target’s calling cards – the retailer has paired with couture designers such as Jason Wu and Alexander McQueen, whose limited, discount designs have sold out within minutes at Target stores (see Missoni).
The model has been copied enthusiastically by other chains such as H&M and Forever 21.
But with the luxury market going through major shifts, it also behooves Neiman Marcus to make itself more accessible to bargain hunters. Most of the items in the Target + Neiman Marcus Holiday Collection will be priced at less than $60.
“Target and Neiman Marcus are known for charting new terrain, and by joining forces for the holiday season, we’ve set the stage for a redefining moment in retail,” said Gregg Steinhafel, Target’s chief executive, in a statement.
