STYLE JOURNEY: THE DENIM VEST

Hey curvy girls all over the world,

Oh man the this heat is having no mercy on us. I have been drinking like a fish out of water. It's so hot I don't even have an appetite. I've seriously been eating cereal for dinner for the past couple of days. As far as getting dressed goes, it's been all about separates for me lately.

PLUS SIZE WORKWEAR: ALISSA AT THE OFFICE

Hey curvy girls all over the world,

This week has been quite a crazy one for me. I feel like I didn't have enough time to do anything. Look at how late I'm posting today! Work has been kicking my butt and my home life has been super busy with my little munchkin graduating to Pre-K and me trying to plan our family summer activities. I didn't snap a lot of office looks this week because they weren't that great and after Monday's monsoon and the sweltering heat I just didn't have the time or mind to put great looks together. Nevertheless, I did come up with two office chic looks.

So, I chose to just post two of my best office looks this week. They both were in the black and white family. Monday I opted for a striped pencil skirt from Torrid and yellow ankle strap pumps completed with a black draped cardigan and lace puff sleeved top layered under it.

Tuesday, I was very classic and simple with a white pussy bow blouse from Jones New York and a black pencil skirt from Torrid. I added a little interest to the look with a pair of leopard print pumps from Call it spring shoes.

BTW- Eshakti is having a major sale. Don't forget you get 15% off with code Stylishcurves15 go to www.eshakti.com to use it.

Hope you guys have a great weekend.

STYLISH CURVES OF THE DAY

Hey curvy girls all over the world,
We are kicking off this bright and sunny Tuesday with Timeka Winters for Stylish Curves of the day. Timeka is representing for the plus size curvy chicks in Alabama. When it comes to her style, here's what she had to say:

Hi, my name is Timeka Winters and I am a blogger from Birmingham, Alabama. I wish to be featured on Stylish Curves of the Day because I love your site Alissa and I feel I represent the everyday confident plus size woman!!!

 I started this blog with the notion that I was a girl with a pretty smile and loved taking pictures. I say, my style is truly according to my mood, and I mean that with every word.

I was raised to always make yourself look presentable to people when they see you, and I do my best at that every time. I love my mother to death, but coming up I was always criticized by her for being too big!!! As I got older, it got worse but I just learned to embrace all the positives I had to offer even if my mama thought those were imperfections too.

 I have gained weight over time, but that does not stop me because with that weight came with a huge line of confidence! That is why I encourage people everywhere and anyone to Love yourself no matter what people say...

I love playing in makeup and shoes!!! So my blog features my sense of fashion, plus size finds, Make-up and so much more from a +SizeSouthernLady point of view. Check out my blog here at
www.plussizesouthernlady.blogspot.com  

Cute, cute, and more cute. I love the leopard peplum top and neon skirt, oh, and I'm loving your shoe game. Werk!

What do you guys think of Timeka's style?

If you would like to be featured as Stylish Curves of the day please send in 4-6 photos of your best looks along with a blurb about how you embrace your curves and where you're from to stylishcurves@gmail.com

STYLE JOURNEY: TROPICAL PUNCH

Hey curvy girls all over the world,

I have a little confession to make. I went against my own personal fashion rule. I rarely ever have fashion rules but the one I did hold myself accountable to follow is never wear leggings as pants. I've always stuck to that rule because I've seen so many girls wearing black or colored leggings that revealed the color of their underwear. I figured, if I was going to try wearing leggings as pants then I would have to first find the right pair.

PLUS SIZE WORK WEAR: STYLISH CURVES WEEK AT THE OFFICE

Hey curvy girls all over the world,
It has been one scorching week in NYC. Where did this 90 degree weather come from all of a sudden?! Unfortunately, just because there is a heat advisory outside, we all still have to go to work. This week, I wanted to keep things cool and comfy for the office. When getting ready for work, I like to snatch and go. I also make sure that I wear comfy heels to travel to and from work. I find that platform sandals are the best.

PLUS SIZE SHOPPING: STRIPED DRESSES AND BLAZERS FOR PLUS SIZE WOMEN

Hey curvy girls all over the world,
As a serious lover of all things stripes I have been having a major craving for them lately. This season stripes are everywhere and I just can't seem to get enough. When it comes to plus size women wearing stripes, you know, I am all for it. It is such a huge myth and misconception about plus size women and stripes. Being the shopper and fashion lover that I am, I have found some uber cute striped pieces that will have your plus size curves looking pretty snazzy.
