Business Casual Style...The Curvy way!

I work in retail..as many if you know. I'm a manager,  but trust me....I do it all! Floor moves...pushing freight...moving fixtures....it all!!  In saying this...I tend to get relaxed in attire because (a) I need to be comfortable and (b) I don't wanna mess up my nicer clothes! Well, now I'm in the hunt to update my spring/summer work wardrobe. (Note: this was my Uber Rainy off day in-doors!)



 I purchased a few things from Marshall's by the company "Delia" The blouse (Delia, $16 on clearance) has cool blue and gray tones and has a loose billowy feel. To cinch in my waist with a thin belt that came off of a Lane Bryant dress. The pants (by Delia also, $19.99) are capri length (which I don't usually gravitate towards) but it gets warm in the store so they work!  These are the shortest I would go in a capri...any shorter would look matronly in my opinion. The loafers, seen on a previous post, are from JustFab (Discontinued). Overall! I think I look casual but professional. Comment below if you would like to see more summer work related style!

Fringe Benefits: Step Outside the Label!

Just wanted to share this adorable Fringe top that I picked up at JcPenny a couple of weeks ago!
As you guys know, I'm a sucker for fringe, which has been an amplified trend this season (I Say amplified because there has been a consistent piece of the reoccurring BOHO trend for several years...Fringe ain't going no where no time soon! LOL!).
ANYWAY!!! Here is the top I chose...
Add captionA.N.A Black Fringe Top


The Top is by A.N.A is is sold is straight sizes. I purchased a size Extra large and of course, it does not fit my 2x frame like the model. It's OK to try things on in other sizes other then you normally wear! You never know! 
Its very comphy and forgiving and perfect for daytime Shopping or a casual Night dancing!
I Paired it with a Fringe Bag I purchased from T.J Maxx for $19.99 and Boots from The Avenue (Past Season). (And some Dorsey Leather pumps from Lane Bryant)
 Hope you Like the way I styled it! And my Crazy Combed out curls!!! LOL!

Leggings, Crop Tops and After-Thoughts!

Hi Love Bugs!!

Ok, Random Blog talking about "That $h!# I DON'T LIKE!" LOL!!! (Which should have indeed been the Title...but I was Being a good girl this morning! :-D

Anywho, i wanted to talk about these trends that every woman simply shouldn't wear. YES this is my opinion. YES you can go out in Public, where people and innocent children and small animals have to see you in WHATEVER you want to! I CAN'T STOP YOU!! I Know I Cant. BUT I can state my OPINION...Can't I?? YES!! (Its a democracy ya' know! As I Laugh under my breath...lol!!)

SO!!! Let's Start with the Leggings. For those who know me, you already know my General View on Leggings. For ONE the are NOT PANTS!!! This Garment should almost be thought of as an accessory. Something to make that Shorter then short Dress appropriate or Make that Tunic Length Top Acceptable. BUT there are other Factors we need to take in mind...like Body Shape, Fit and SHEERNESS!!! (Yes, I capitalized and Highlighted that last work and put that bad boy in BOLD lettering cause im SO SERIOUS!!!) 

ON TO THE VISUALS!!! (YAAAAAYYYY!!!!!)

My First Question is do you (And by "you" I Mean violators of this hannis crime!!!) have friends in your life?? Family who cares??? Co-Workers who actually like you? I know yall' are like "Stephanie?? Why The Silly Questions?? Of Course I do!!!" Well if they are NOT telling you that you look a MESS in those leggings, they might not be the best people in your life...Im just Sayin...

Seriously...THIS (Look at the Picture Below...WAIT....Breathe....Ok. Now Look) IS A HOT SMOLDERING MESS!!!)

At Work too?? No!!!!!!  Photo Link )

                                                                                                                                                                        This Next Pic, Of which I would like to name "The Purple People Eater"m is how we SHOULDN'T Wear Leggings! A Short Shirt is bad enough, but tucking it in and adding a Belt??? I'm Completely confused!!! Well I'm NOT because She OBVIOUSLY is proud " of the 2 Hams Stuck down in back of her Pants" (Comedian  Reference) I wish Ladies as a whole would understand that you don't have to show off Every thing you have to be Sexy! 







 And that Negative, Mannish Attention you get (And Graciously Accept) only makes it harder for Men (Or woman) To respect us and take us seriously! The clothing we wear, weather we like it or not, really makes a difference in how people perceive us! Is it Fair???? Yes and No. If you look as if you don't care about you appearance, People are going to think...well you don't care. Then the assumptions come in (The not fair part) that you are un-organized, lazy, un-kept...you get my drift. When we show too much, it looks like were DESPERATE FOR ATTENTION. Sorry...the Truth hurts huh?

Ok...so You decided to wear the leggings anyway....with a shorter top. Ok, Everything I Wrote Above meant NOTHING to you. Its ok. I Get it. BUT DAMMIT cant you AT LEAST make sure they are thick enough where when the Sun or Bright light catches your better (Or not so Better...) Half that we CANT SEE STRAIGHT THROUGH THEM???? UGH!!!  Really??? I've seen it all. Ive seen bright pink thongs, Floral granny panties...NO panties. I'M SO OVER IT!!! 

Grab a GOOD Friend and have her shine a light towards you or something For Gods Sake!









And here is my Honorable Mention. The Crop Top phase ISN'T FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!
I Don't want to even go into to this...its probably another Blog Post all together.  But Here are some GREAT examples on why you MUST know your body and its limitations.
