Curves Around The World: Neon

 
Good Evening, Friends!!!
 
Its Wednesday and you know what that means :)
Yes, Curves Around The World themed plus size outfits!!!
 
Its no different this week as well .... Our theme is NEON!!!
I love bright colours and the suit my skin colour perfect (that's what I think - esp. when convincing myself to wear more bright colours, lol).
 
This week I decided to feature Chubby Cartwheels famous bandeau. The bandeau's HOT PINK colour qualifies for our theme. On my last post I paired this bandeau with a bodycon skirt and this time around I decided on pairing with pants to show the versatility of this Chubby Cartwheels bandeau.
 
I get inspired by Shawna and working with her and also dressing her designs has really assisted me in enhancing myself's body love and also spreading the word to all of you - emphasizing to love yourselves so much the way you are RIGHT NOW.
 
By wearing pants with this bandeau I am trying to show you its ok to just live in the moment and be yourself. Also in need to say - its ok to show some skin. I know, my tummy is not flat and all but I comfortable to just show it anyway.
 
I must say, I am getting much more comfortable with myself taking, looking at and posting my pictures showing my imperfections to all of you because ive grown to love and accept them as they are.
 
As much as I promote being healthy but I am sorry - I am not gonna wait until I am 50kgs lighter to love myself. I love myself NOW, tomorrow and definately on the day Id lose that much weight. Happiness, Self love and positivity will definately help me get to my goal weight cause stress will do the opposite.
 
I say NO  to STRESS and BODY NEGATIVITY...
 
"Cheers to Body Positivity RIGHT NOW,
regardless of imperfections!!!"
 
Hope you love my small dose of NEON :)

CHUBBY CARTWHEELS - BANDEAU PART1

 Good Evening, Friends :)
 
Hope you have not forgotten about my collaboration with Shawna's  Awesome Online Shop. Many people have been celebrating valentines day yesterday and still continue to celebrate throughout this weekend. 
 
I think this outfit ensembled using her Bandeau could be worn for these celebrations. Pairing of her bandeau with a bodycon skirt reminds me of cocktail dresses and the, timeless ones :)
 
At first I was not sure whether to add the choker but I am happy I did. Looking at these pictures gives me joy on creating an awesome outfit which is so badass and rockstar at the same time. I don't live according to some standards put up by some people who think they know everything. I DO ME most of the time and that excites me.
 
Yesss......allow me to be cocky: this outfit is adorbs!!! Love it too??? Hope you do, cause its worth at least that :)
 
So, don't forget heading to Shawna's  Awesome Online Shop and get yourself something.
 
 These are some of her social networks. facebook page , Chubby Cartwheels Facebook Page, Chubby Cartwheels Instagram and her blog
 
Do check her out :)

Curves Around The World: Timeless



Hey, guys!!!
 
Finally I am able to write this post, wheeeuuww......
 
This weeks theme for Curves Around The World is Timeless. What pops on my mind when I hear this are pearls, black dress, lace, heels, red lips, denim, effortless look etc. I also think of classic outfits.
 
I am posting late because I travelled to Jo'burg on Wednesday this week for an interview on Thursday. Attending this interview was an opportunity to wear a classy outfit that relates to our theme.
 
Whilst waiting to be called in - my friend Pumla took few pictures of my outfit in the NICD foyer. I think I was dressed nicely for this interview and the weather was pleasant too.
 
I love timeless looks - I think I do them best especially with my casual wear. Yes, casual can be timeless too. Think about demin pieces, converse high tops, white vest, leggings etc... it all depends on how you ensemble the entire outfit.
 
What are your views for my timeless outfit??? 
 




Dress: Jet Stores
Necklace: Borrowed from Pumla
Belt: Woolworths
Purse: Mom's Closet
Shoes: Zando
Bracelet: Pep Stores
Watch: American Swiss

Curves Around The World: Collars


Good Evening, guys :)
 
Its Curves Around The World time  and this time around we are rocking them COLLARS, lol!!!
 
I really wanted to wear a shirt for this challenge as I don't wear enough of them due to not being comfortable wearing them most of the time.
 
Would have really loved to rock that closed up Collared Shirt with a statement neckpiece look - I didn't, I guess I need to really push myself next time. I just have issues with too much serious looks and collared clothing brings that for me. I may be paranoid but I think, its so not me .... I am all about comfort first and then being stylish within my Smart Casual Style.
 
It may sound as if I hate collars but in actual fact I really do love them in Jackets, though and shirt dresses. For this challenge my Collar comes from the denim vest.
 
The weather is still hot and all I wear currently are Maxi Dresses and more maxi dresses. This time around its no different, I rocked my Maxi at work on Friday with my collared vest and sandals and I honestly think its a winning outfit :)
 
Do you love collars and rock them often??? In what form do you like them?




Dress: Fashion World
Denim Vest: Mr Price
Sandals: Target
Bracelet: Target
Watch: American Swiss
 




 
Good Night smile for all of you :)
