New Shop Item: Red Velvet Skirt

June 8, 2012

I found this great skirt recently. I know that velvet is more of a fall/winter fabric, but this vibrant red skirt was calling my name. How could I say no to it?

It is so pretty that I think I could wear it year round! Sometimes, fashion rules are made to be broken! If you can now wear white year round–why not velvet?! Fashion, smashion. Rules, smules.

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say again–do what makes you happy, and this skirt makes me happy!

Think about this–wouldn’t this skirt be great to wear once Christmas comes? Add a nice vintage Christmas Sweater and a pair of green tights and “ta dah!” you’re done! (haha I joke, I joke!)

All jokes aside, this skirt is beautiful and it is waiting in my shop to find a home with some nice curvy lady out there!

Doppelganger Via Boston Bus Ride

June 7, 2012

As I am writing this, I am on the bus headed back down to New York City.  I really enjoyed Concord–it’s so beautiful there, I love the history, and the colonial architecture is amazing to see! Boston, on the other hand, was okay. Maybe I didn’t see great spots around the city, but it didn’t do much for me…. “Been there, done that!” sort of thing.

For fun, I did another “Doppelganger” post. I found high fashion items that are similar to items I am selling in The Curvy Elle Shop. This is to show a comparison to what is out there for a more affordable price and in bigger sizes.

The dress on the left is a Blue Printed Dress By Tory Burch, it costs $459.00 and comes in sizes 0-10.
My dress on the right is a Plus Size Vintage Blue & Purple Floral Jersey Dress it is $29.00 and is a large size 14.
The skirt on the left is a Rust Belted Swing Skirt by Salvatore Ferragamo.  It retails for $935.00 and comes in sizes 2-10.
My skirt on the right is Vintage Plus Size Red 6-Gore Circle Midi Skirt. It is being sold for $18.00 and is size 2X.
The blouse on the left is a Floral Print Top by DSquared. It sells for $585.00 and comes in sizes 0-10.
My blouse on the right is a Plus Size Vintage Floral Print Top for $13.00 and is size 20W.
