Curves Around the World: Oldie but Goodie

Hello Beauties!!!

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend, it's Monday and that mean "Curves Around the World!" Today's theme is "Oldie but goodie" and to me that means a piece of clothing that's older but it's still a great piece. 

Curves Around the World: Polka Dots

Hello Lovelies! 

Well it's that time again for another "Curves Around the World" post and this weeks theme is Polka dots! I love me some Polka dots, it's one of my favorite prints. I have a lot of different polka dot items in my closet so it was a challenge to pick what to wear, I think it's always a challenge on what to wear with these themes because there is always several outfits I want to choose from. But since there is a heat wave right now in California and I decided to do a Summer look.  

So I chose this outfit because I've been wanting a crop top for awhile, I got the bandeau from Forever 21+ but I wanted a crop top that was a little longer. I've seen really pretty tops at a lot of different stores but none of them have ever fit me. But one day I was on the Target website and I saw this great crop top, that came in two great prints and they went up to size XXL. I don't usually buy things online but this top was only sold online and it was on sale so I thought it was a sign so I decided to get both one in XL and the other in XXL because I figured if one didn't fit I could always return the other one. But it turned out that they both fit me because the fabric is stretchy. 

So as you can tell the crop top that I'm showing you today is the polka dot one, this was the one that I got in XXL and I think it fits great. I've worn the other top a few times too it's a floral top but I've always covered up by wearing something over so you couldn't tell it's a crop top. But today I decided to bear the skin, especially in this heat. I like these bralette type crop tops because they don't show to much skin but just enough. What do you think of crop tops? Are they something you would wear?

Since my top is shorter then something I usually wear, I decided to balance it out with a longer skirt. I haven't actually worn this skirt before because I've always been uncomfortable with wearing such tight clothes and it's really long so I felt like it made me look shorter. But I think with the crop top it kind of makes me look longer and taller. What do you think does it make me look taller or is it just me? 

Since I was just going to run and do errands I decided to wear sandals to make the look a lot more casual. This clutch is one of my favorites that I rediscovered, I was cleaning my closet and I saw this baby tucked away in another bag and I said it was too pretty not to use. I love the colors and it has a strap too if I wanted to wear it on my shoulder. I think you will be seeing this bag more on my blog in the future. :)

Curves Around the World: Monochrome

Hello my Dears! I hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far. I know it's only the beginning so if your not having a good week so far I hope the rest of your week goes by great! :) Well it's that time again for another "Curves Around the World" post and this weeks theme is one of my favorites...Monochrome or Black and White. 

This weeks trend was originally Black and White but we decided to make it Monochrome since they are practically the same thing. I absolutely love this trend, it's one of my favorites just because I think it's so classic and it's always on trend. 

Since the theme is monochrome I thought it would be a great time to experiment and mix patterns. I was originally wearing the polka dot top and a striped skirt but when I saw this polka dot skirt I thought it would be fun to mix two different polka dot prints. When I tried the top with the skirt, I thought it was a great combination.

For the accessories I used black and gold accessories to keep it simple and I love black and gold accessories and I think they keep the monochrome theme going. I didn't have any plain black flats so I looked into my favorite place to look for things, my moms closet and when I saw these I knew they would go great with the outfit. I don't know about you but I really love looking in my mom's closet there's always great finds in there. Too bad we don't wear the same size in clothes because my mom has cute clothes too. But at least I can always use her accessories. 

What do you think about the trend Monochrome?

Now that you've seen my look don't forget to check out the other lovely ladies from "Curves Around the World" and there great Monochrome outfits.
