I was just given this purse  (but in Black) as a gift a couple of weeks ago and I love it.  It goes with everything for every occasion.

Check out the new collection:


Skinny jeans and the BIG girl.

Style File No Comments

Okay, so there is no surprise that most people feel like skinny jeans are not for the big girl but I highly disagree.

www.alloy.com $35.60 (currently on sale) 

Obviously, there are limitations and rules to abide by when trying to pull this jean off and here are some of my tips.

  1. Always choose darker shades like the ones pictured above. Stay away from bright colors and pastels. Try Blue jeans, dark purples, navy, burgundy, etc .
  2. ALWAYS pair with a round toe heel or peep toe pump. NEVER wear flats.
  3. If you are more bottom heavy try the not so skinny jean (semi-straight leg).
  4. Pick a shirt that has flare and movement at the bottom of it.

THE PERFECT LOOK WOULD BE THIS OUTFIT:

    I love this on her. I think the one shoulder could possibly be coming back this year. I love the tiny belt and matching white fingernails. But I would have gave her accessories a 10 if those shoes and belt were a differant color like navy or a soft pink

  • OVERALL GRADE:  46% F – Definitely SLOP

    This looks really tacky to me. Especially for an awards show. The color, I think is awful and too shiny. This looks like a Dots shirt that she tried to pass off for a dress.  I gave her accesories a 9 because the shoes and purse are great but the purse is better with jeans. Her makeup is cute but even better if it was toned down. I just think this look trashy all together but at least she had someone fix her lace front.

  • Trend starting ability – 0
  • Accesories, Hair, and Makeup – 9 
  • Color scheme – 10
  • Overall Grade: 58% F+ still SLOP but much better than the others. This is not actually a bad dress. It actually is a very cute dress but it is the norm and very boring. I love the shoes and ring but the rest of the outfit is just too plain. The color is great!

  • Creativity – 9
  • Originality – 9
  • Trend starting ability -7

  • Color scheme – 3
  • Overall Grade:  74% C- ok but I wouldn’t wear it.

    I know that this yellow is this summer’s trend but I personally hate it. The purse is HOTTT! I wish i could’ve graded the purse alone. But anyways, i am not too keen to the way this dress bunches up at the top but I think she owned it good and made a statement. 

  • Creativity – 7
  • Originality – 7
  • Trend starting ability -8
  • Accesories, Hair and Makeup – 7

  • Overall Grade: 74% C – I like this dress and Sapphire is another color you will be seeing a lot this fall. I love the shoes and the shape of the dresss. But I would have love to see more detail.

    BIG GIRLS do it BIG at the BET awards!!!

    I’m not sure if I like this look or not. Although it is a pretty dress, I think it should have fit better around the bust. The hair and shoes are HOT! But I think a small pearl neckalace would have made the whole outfit pop. She needs to “work it” in that dress. Wear the dress, don’t let it wear you.

    Jennifer Hudson

    I LOVE ths dress although I am not feeling the shiny look to it. the shape and fit are perfect for the plus size chic.The match up of her shoes and purse are immaculate. Unfortunately I am a firm hater of the bare neck. Overall, I think she is working this dress.

    Jordin Sparks

    I think this dress is cute, very fashionable and age appropriate. But check out the purse…HOT. and I also see that the one strap sandal is a hot commodity at this event.

    Lil Kim

    I actually love this dress. She is owning it and it fits her shape perfect. The color is great. Purple will be big this Fall. Not too fond of the pointy toe shoe or the blonde lace front. I don’t think that color works for her. I do hope that she gets her self esteem together before she starts looking like Micheal Jackson.

    Neicy Nash

    I Love this look, top to bottom. It is perfect for her.

    Toccarra

    There goes those damn one strap sandals again…But anyways, Toccarra is my girl but I think this dress does nothing for her. I do not like the fit or the awkwardness (is that a word) of it nor the fabric.

    BUT ALL IN ALL I THINK THE BIG GIRLS HELD IT DOWN THIS YEAR…THE CLASSIEST OUT OF ALL THE OTHERS. WHAT DID U THINK?

    VP nominee Palin’s daughter’s teen pregnancy and underage drinking

    Politics as usual No Comments

    OKAY I KNOW THAT THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A FASHION BLOG BUT I CAN NOT PASS THIS ONE UP.

    I’M SURE YOU ALL HAVE HEARD ABOUT REPUBLICAN VP NOMINEE SARAH PALIN’S ATTEMPT TO HIDE HER 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER’S PREGNANCY.MOSTLY BECAUSE SHE DID NOT WANT TO LOOK LIKE HYPOCRITE OR EVEN WORST A LIBERAL <sarcasm. BUT AS I BROWSED THE INTERNET TODAY, I CAME ACROSS THESE PICS OF THE PALIN’S 17 YR OLD DAUGHTER BRISTOL PARTICIPATING IN UNDERAGE DRINKING.

    C/O WWW.BOSSIP.COM

    NOW MY TAKE ON THE WHOLE SITUATION IS THIS. …

    KIDS WILL BE KIDS OF COURSE BUT IF THIS INEXPERIENCED GOVERNER OF 2 YEARS CAN NOT CONTROL HER HOUSEHOLD, WHAT MAKES MCCAIN THINK SHE CAN CONTROL A COUNTRY.

    MAIN POINTS TO THINK ABOUT:

    1. Palin is fairly new to politics.
    2. She stands for Pro-life but gave her 17 year old daughter the desicion to either keep her baby or abort.
    3. During the republican convention, I noticed that the 17 year old was barely seen without holding her younger brother, in an attempt to disguise her pregnant stomach.
    4. McCain is a douche bag, GRADUATED 5TH PLACE ABOVE LAST FROM THE NAVY.
    5. McCain is also an elderly 5 time cancer survivor. If something were to happen to McCain this woman will be left to run our country…. What is he thinking? Is he trying to win over the Hillary followers? I don’t think that it is working.

    IM SO CONFUSED. I THOUGHT YOU HAD TO QUALIFY FOR THESE POSITIONS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS REALLY WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT. IS THIS THE TYPE CHANGE WE WANT FOR OUR COUNTRY. IF THESE TWO FOOLS GET ELECTED I’MMOVING TO LONDON. I DON’T THINK EITHER IS A FIT CANDIDATE.

    PEOPLE PLEASE VOTE SMART.

    BARACK OBAMA IS THE ONLY SMART CHOICE FOR OUR COUNTRY.

    EVENTHOUGH SOME OF YOU READING THIS MAY VERY WELL BE REPUBLICANS, YOU SHOULD BE EMBARRESSED BY MCCAIN’S DISREGARD FOR THE WELL BEING OF OUR COUNTRY. HE IS A KINDA SMART MAN. THERE IS NO WAY HE THINKS THIS CHIC IS QUALIFIED TO BE HIS ALTERNATE. I DONT BELIEVE IT.
