How to wear high-low skirts for curvy divas

So I wanted to share a few tips for styling the high-low trend skirt. I purchased my Lauren Conrad mint blue high low skirt from Kohls back in July but was really apprehensive on how to style this skirt. Since I would only be running errands today I decided to dress the skirt down by pairing it with a classic white tank from Old Navy. However, if I wanted to turn it to a night time look I could've simply paired it with a classier sleeveless chiffon top in white or off white. There are so many ways to style the high-low look but being plus-size it may be a little harder to create a waist line. For me the best way to create a more defined waist line is to simply add a belt to bring in the waist. If you are a shorter diva with a shorter I would recommend the skinny belts. For taller amazon's (like me) a oversize belt or skinny belt will do. If you are not afraid to show a bit of skin a cute crop top can shirt or bodysuit can make a high-low skirt fun and flirty. For my OOTD I paired my skirt with the DesertRose Necklace from Jewelmint.com the Hernia nude wedges are from Aldo.com and the hot pink Law handbag from Justfab.com adds the perfect pop of color.

Why is it hard to find chic plus-size belts?????

So I remember having a conversation with a close friend of mine some years back about finding chic and trendy belts for plus-size women. I honestly feel as if a belt can be a staple piece to one's outfit it can be the missing part of one's puzzle. So I have provided a few pictures and links below to some very hot and trendy plus-size belts for you diva's enjoy. All the belts below can be located at www.asos.com

Solange Knowles


Solange Knowles is known for many things acting, singing, being a dj, and of course being the little sister to Beyonce Knowles. However, the one thing that really sticks out is Solange's sense of style. Do you like Solange's sense of style? 

Memorial Day OOTD

I really wanted to wear my inspired Jeffery Campbell Booties for Memorial Day. I knew it would be the perfect holiday to pay homage to our troops, veterans and deceased love one's. I didn't want to be too "matchy matchy" so I wore a white tank and paired it with a white vest. I decided to break out my red skinny jeans I purchased from forever 21, these were the first pair of pants that I've purchased from their plus-size collection and I was pleased. My purse is from my boutique www.alyssacloset.com I've had it over a year and decided to keep it for myself. I'm really glad I did because I love it and get so many compliments on it....and of course the shoes were the statement piece drawing your eyes down to my feet. I must say these shoes were very uncomfortable I can only hope the real Jeffery Campbell's aren't. It felt as if I was walking on wood planks....very very uncomfortable. These shoes are still available at www.gojane.com for $37.95 which is about $10.00 less than what I shelled out for them. I also wanted to show you other ways you could style these booties without being so "matchy matchy" after all there are no rules to fashion, fashion is merely an individual expression of art........

Celebrites wearing Alexander McQueen


Beyonce and Emily B were spotted wearing Alexander McQueens leggings....who wore it best?

Alexander McQueen

The Alexander Mcqueen is an extraordinary designer who mastered razor sharp tailoring. McQueen's shows "... are known for their emotional power and raw energy, as well as the romantic but determinedly contemporary nature of the collections. Integral to the McQueen culture is the juxtaposition between contrasting elements: fragility and strength, tradition and modernity, fluidity and severity. An openly emotional and even passionate viewpoint is realised with a profound respect and influence for the arts and crafts tradition. Alexander's collections combine an in-depth working knowledge of bespoke British tailoring, the fine workmanship of the French Haute Couture atelier and the impeccable finish of Italian manufacturing." In 2010 McQueen committed suicide however his legacy continues with Sarah Burton as creative director of the McQueen brand.
