HELLO CURVYSTAS! IT’S BEEN A MINUTE SINCE I’VE POSTED. THE PANDEMIC THREW ME FOR A LOOP AS IT DID TO MANY OTHERS. MY PHOTOGRAPHY WORK FOR EVENTS, AWARD SHOWS AND MY TRAVELS STOPPED, THEREFORE I DIDN’T POST. IN DECEMBER, MY DAUGHTERS CHALLENGED ME TO START POSTING MY FASHION IDEAS AND CLOTHES INSTEAD OF WAITING TO SHOOT OTHERS. THEY WERE GETTING TIRED OF ME ASKING THEM TO POSE, SO IN DECEMBER @FIFTYPLUSANDCURVED ON INSTAGRAM WAS BORN! IF YOU KNOW ME, YOU KNOW MY DISLIKE OF BEING IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA BUT HONESTLY DOING THIS HAS GIVEN ME NEW LIFE! I AM ENJOYING THIS NEW VENTURE AND I HOPE YOU JOIN ME. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO ASK. I’M A MOTHER OF FOUR DAUGHTERS, I’M ALWAYS READY TO BE QUESTIONED!
I WENT ON VACATION AND CAME BACK TO MY JUSTFAB BOX WAITING FOR ME. IT TOOK ME TWO WEEKS TO GET TO IT BUT WHEN I DID WHAT A LOVELY SURPRISE! THE QUALITY OF THE SWEATERS ARE BEYOND THE PRICE POINT, AND THEY ARE MADE OF RAYON & NYLON. THEY HAVE A NICE WEIGHT THAT WILL WORK DURING FALL/WINTER AS WELL. I RECENTLY STOPPED WEARING JEANS THIS PAST YEAR DUE TO DISCOMFORT, MOST OF THE DENIM FABRIC WAS TOO STIFF AND UNCOMFORTABLE. I SAW TWO PAIR ON WWW.JUSTFABONLINE.COM AND DECIDED TO GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY. THEY ARESO COMFORTABLE AND THE JEANS ARE LIGHT ENOUGH TO WEAR THROUGH THE HOTTEST SUMMER DAYS.
THE PINK TEXTURED SHIFT DRESS REMINDED ME OF CHANEL AND I HAD TO PAIR IT WITH A GOLD CHAINED BAG. THIS ONE IS FROM MARIO VALENTINO AT SAKS FIFTH AVENUE. EXCELLENT LEATHER AND QUALITY!
THE BLUE HANDBAG IS FROM STAUD VIA SAKS FIFTH AVENUE AND I’M WEARING IT WITH A DARKER BOOTCUT DENIM PANT FROM JUSTFAB. THEY ARE EXTREMELY LIGHT AND FIT ME PERFECTLY WITHOUT A MUFFIN TOP OR SNUG ACROSS THE WAIST. I WEAR A SIZE 20 AND THE 20 FIT ME PERFECTLY!
THE JUMPSUIT IS ALSO FROM JUSTFAB FROM A PURCHASE LAST YEAR. THE TAUPE BAG IS A BOTTEGA VENETA DUPE THAT I ONLY PAID $12 FOR AT TJMAXX. I LOVE HANDBAGS, ONE OF MY ADDICTIONS, BUT I CAN NEVER PAY $3000 FOR AN ITEM THAT ISN’T YET A CLASSIC..ONLY IF IT’S A CAMERA OR LENS. : )
MOST OF MY SHOES ARE FROM ZAPPOS, AS I WEAR A SIZE 13 AND IT’S VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND NICE SHOES. EVERY NOW AND THEN I MIGHT FIND A PAIR AT NORDSTROM OR BLOOMINGDALES BUT THAT’S HAPPENING LESS AND LESS. PAYLESS USED TO BE MY GO TO FOR CHEAP SUMMER TRENDY SHOES. HOW I MISS PAYLESS FOR SANDALS!! #RIPPAYLESS
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE JEAN? NOW THAT I HAVE THREE GO TO PAIRS, INCLUDING THE ELOQUII WIDE LEG PAIR, I WANT TO RESTART MY JEAN COLLECTION. FEEL FREE TO LEAVE ME LINKS TO YOUR FAVORITES!
