The Big O/ Criss-Crossing Strap Wedges

On this edition of the Big O. I went with wedges and with some extreme edges. The expensive kind may vary from the inexpensive but the styles are similar. This is a great alternative if you don't like wear heels, it still gives you some length but at times decreases the pressure from the balls of your feet because you have more support.

The expensive shoes are sold on the Shirise site. The LD Tuttle "The Up" Clay Buckled Wedge Sandals is a buckled strappy leather upper, leather lining and insole, leather outsole and 4" wedge heel (including a 1.25" platform). It's made in Italy so you know you will be getting your money's worth.

The "Dina" from N.Y.L.A has a similar effect to the LD Tuttle. The Strappy leather upper with grommets and studs, ankle strap with adjustable buckle, 1½" platform, 5" covered wedge and a rubber sole. It's sold on the DSW site.

The "Extreme" from Bakers are 10 dollars cheaper but with similar styles. It features crisscrossing straps with metal studs and grommets décor, adjustable buckle closure and faux wood wedge heel, 4 1/4" Wedge, platform Height - 1 1/2" and the material used is a leather, Leopard/Printed Calf Hair.

On Top of Taupe

Oh my delicate flowers are all around, whether it's on a shirt or a skirt, there are flowers are all over. I love flowers strategically placed around the neck line, it shows your sweet and sensitive side.

For the top I went with the Sleeveless Sequence Trim Overlay with a Bubble Bottom from Rainbow Shops. Small flowers are layered across in a scoop neck.

The jeans are something that brought me back. I used to wear this brand of jeans all the time. They fit so nice and she knew where a woman needs to hug or show. It’s the Anne Klein Bootleg Jean.

The jacket is from Torrid. The White Circle Eyelet Short-Sleeved Jacket has an all over circle eyelet embroidery, a banded waist, two patch pockets and covered buttons. Single button closure. Adding a hint of white somewhere is always a plus for me.

The Cut Out Tie Platform from Charlotte Russe is a perfect fit to the outfit. It features a matte faux leather, cut out details, quilting details at the peep toe, ankle drawstring with bow tie, 4" stacked faux wood heel with platform, and a lightly padded insole. Faux leather upper and rubber sole.

For the neckline, I went very simple Two Faced Heart Necklace. and the Metallic Jewel Heart Earrings add a sweetheart touch.

I didn't add a clutch because this works well for work or even an after-work get together. So tell me what would you change about this outfit? Let me know!

An Ode to Black

It's so nice in NYC, and I love sharing my spring happiness with you guys. But I can not forget winter because it was all about layering, neturals, browns and covering up and I couldn't leave winter without giving it it's props. With that said, an ode to black. Black for some reason tells people that it's slimming, but if it's black that you like to wear, rock it out. Fashion is a statement and it's not meant to follow rules.

I started with a simple black dress from Casual Plus. "Dori" is a sheered arm knit mini dress with a necklace attached. It has a good stretch fabric and see through arms.

The BCBG Paris Glitz Sequined Satin Platform Sandal from DSW. It has an elaborate sequined collar, back zipper, lightly padded insole, ½" platform, 4½" covered heel.

I went with a "La Regale" from Lori's Shoes. This elegant satin clutch has a lightly pleated front embellished with sequins and beading. The matte silver ball clasp adds a contemporary touch, with a silver chain shoulder strap for hands-free carrying.

The bracelets are from Charlotte Russe, the Black With Gold Stacked Bangles and the Stretch Metal Flower Bracelet adds the all black effect that I am looking for. The earrings also from Charlotte Russe, the Swirl Cut-Out Earrings gives a sweet ending to all black everything.

Peek-A-Boo I See You!

Today I wanted a floral top and I went with this look. I love the ruffle look in the front of a shirt, pair it with a vest or even a jacket and you have the peek-a-boo effect.

The top is sold on the Plus Size Fix site, Plus Size Ruffle Flower Halter Top is an elegant ruffle plus size sexy flower halter top. This plus size top comes with a detailed ruffle design. Light with high quality stitching.

The skirt is a pencil skirt from Evans, the Navy Workwear Pencil Skirt. It's made with 100% Polyester and with a waistband detail. I love my tights and that may be something that you don't want to accentuate but a flowing skirt will work very well.

The shoes are from Nine West but are sold on the Piperlime site, The "Demode"  is a Platform maryjane with tear drop cutout accents, a 4 1/2" wrapped heel, 1" platform, synthetic outsole, padded leather footbed. The cut-out has the sexy peek-a-boo effect as the top.

The jewelery are both from Charlotte Russe, the Teardrop Earring and the Twisted Bead Bracelet add a pop of the purple (which I love and they are very inexpensive)

I didn't add a vest or a jacket because showing some arms are good! But if you want to, go ahead by all means. Let me know would you play peek-a-boo with your clothing and how?

A Cut-Out Tights Is Oh So Nice!

I didn't think I would have gotten this far without my readers for this blog. I love that the passion I share with my viewers, have gotten some good responses and feedabck and I appreciate all the opportunities that have come my way. With that being said, I love the retailers are listening and they are getting much better. We don't want to be in frumpy clothes, we love to wear clothes to show off our curves. So today I was inspired by the leggings that was told to me by Ms. Christina, I really hope she does a OOTD soon with those leggings.

The ASOS Curve Mesh Insert Leggings. They are soft stretch mesh insert leggings, reinforced seams and high shine design and triangle cut-out curve to shape. Very sexy with the detailing and the cut-out adds some spice to it.

I went with the Ivory Ruffle Satin Tank from Torrid.  The so-pretty matte-satin tank features diagonal layers of jersey knit and matte satin on the front and a small ruffle at the back neck. A little bit of ruffles, a little bit of cut-outs is oh so nice.

The "Surran" from Aldo has a very sexy kit heel and sometime you don't need height. These fierce sandals have a caged design that makes them the focal point of any outfit. They also feature back zip, cone heel, and metal studding detail.

The Rhinestone Seduction Earrings is a perfect match, feature dangling rhinestones in a cluster formation and a stud style backing. Also the Edgy Rock Bangle is a mix of metallic accents that are ridged and curved.

To finish off the look, I went with a Charisma Croc Clutch from Forever 21. The faux patent leather clutch makes the perfect accessory. Features include an asymmetrical flap with a magnetic snap button closure, an optional chain strap, and a single cell pocket inside.

So would you wear cutout tights like the one I feature today?
