I've decided to roll out Diva On A Dime for my Nappy Haired Diva's out there who want to look flawless without spending a fortune. Hopefully you will enjoy my cool new finds. I plan to have some stylists feature so that you can see their picks for the weekend. This will likely turn into a Friday or a Wednesday post. The jury is still out on that one.
Being a plus size, and fabulous isn't something that came easily. I have to constantly seek clothing that suits my size and shape. Unfortunately, as far as we've come in fashion we still lack great gear for the full figured. Even if being plus sized isn't the issue, there are a variety of demands that aren't met within the fashion industry. Long legs, short legs, long torso's are all a few examples of the issues we all face when seeking our sassy new closet addition as we shop. Sometimes it's so discouraging, we opt not to go out to the stores and do it all online. So hopefully this blog will be something you can use to scout for cool items to add to your collection. Enjoy my fellow divas!
Palm Print Weekender , by Anthropologie. This bag has a fun print with a bold splash of yellow to spice things up and an inverted striped pattern down the center to tie it all together. Originally $168.00USD, this item is now on sale likely out of season. I chose this bag because I think the look of it allows you to get away with using it as a winter bag as the yellow has a deep golden tone that is similar to the gold tone finishes on many winter bags. The brown leather cross strap is the perfect finish and what makes it even better is that it's removable so you can choose how you sport this eye catching bag. It got 4 out of 5 stars on the Anthropologie website, making this accessory a safe investment. $99.95USD
Women's Open Front Blazer, by Sears. I like this one because I am a blazer fanatic. It's a great way to hide the less... "svelte" parts of your body. One of my favorite looks is to wear a decorative tank with an open front blazer and skinny jeans. Add some chunky accessories, and you are casual chic! This blazer is only $10.99USD down from $48.00USD. If you plan to purchase, hop on the bandwagon sooner rather than later because I don't think this is going to last very long at all!
Sheer Panel Black Dress, by Lipsy of London. I'm not going to waste my time with this one. This dress is only about $41.00USD after the currency conversion. Sure you have to pay shipping if you aren't living in the UK, but this dress is well worth the investment. Perfect for parties or a night out on the town, every woman ought to have a little black dress and I strongly suggest this one. The sheer black panel provides an interesting accent to an otherwise traditional little black dress. Buy it now and thank me later!
Zesty and I Know It All Heel by Mojo Moxy is on Modcloth dot com. This fun heel makes me think vintage but still has a fun modern look to it that makes it a fab find. According to one review, the buyer had to purchase another size up so it may not be true to size if your feet are on the wider side. A narrow foot may be fine. High arches may also be wary of this shoe based on the review I read. The heel doesn't appear to be too high, but I would imagine this shoe is not for heavy walking but more so for sitting in the office or attending a casual event where you can grab a seat often. Definitely not dancing shoes from what I've gathered. The shoe is constructed of man made materials with a leather sole. As a shoe lover, I think this would be a fun addition to my closet and I plan to see about making a purchase on this one soon. $62.99USD
