Unbothered, Belly And All- New Series

Have you ever had one of those days where you just 'wanna get away', maybe have some time to yourself or a day with your girls; a day-cation if you would?  That was exactly how I felt over the weekend so I decided to check out downtown Charlotte and find some fun.  With the Justin Timberlake concert and AKA Boulé going on, the city was live!  The weather was 90 degrees plus so a light top and open legs were called for.  Instead of wearing shorts, I opted for very trendy distressed jeans I picked up from the House of Chanel boutique.  These jeans are available here and were the focal point of my outfit.  Openly, I am an advocate for fat girls in crop tops but I also am an advocate for shape wear.  I started the day without the proper undergarments and quickly made my way to the nearest Target.  The self expressions by Madenform tummy control panties made my belly smooth and I instantly felt a boost of confidence....not too bad for $15 huh?  Going forward, I will feature bold Divadolls on my blog that use the hashtag #UnbotheredBellyAndAll.  Love the movement?  Join in and use the hashtag on your social media.  See you fabulous ladies on Instagram and Facebook!

The Influence Fashion Show

"Style should not be compromised because of your size."

One of the many struggles in plus size fashion is finding the cross between sexy and appropriate for clothing options.  The clothing provided by Luxe Vain Boutique proves you can have curves and flaunt them without looking too provocative.  I was apart of the 2nd Annual Jewelry & Fashion Show “The Influence” hosted by the House of Chanel, Designs By Danny and Ego Emporium.  The show featured different jewelry pieces as well and different designers showcasing their new looks.  The message of the show was developed by A.Guy who is the fashion play producer for Dezign Nation.  Her goal was to project how plus size fashion is not boring, ugly or, frumpy and that full figured women are over with wearing baggy 'paper bag' clothing.  Luxe Vain is here to break through the stereotypes and flaunt the curves of the female body.  I love the message and want every Divadoll to embody the Luxe Look.
