Being a curvy girl I used to shy away from bright colors and statement jewelry pieces because I wasn’t sure I could pull them off. I learned that I sure can pull them off because it is all about wearing the right colors for my skin tone, wearing the right silhouette for my curvy figure, and accessorizing with the right scale jewelry pieces.

A great color combo that I especially like are yellow and green. I am wearing my lovely daisy floral dress from Heart of Haute that has lots of yellows and greens and paired it with a bright yellow cardigan. Because the dress top fits like a wrap (perfect for big boobs) I added this gorgeous bee necklace to accessorize my outfit with. I love a great retro inspired dress or Pinup dress because the styles from the 1950s are extremely flattering and Heart of Haute is also size inclusive. I think it just screams Spring and it makes me excited that warmer weather and sunshine are on the way.

My bee necklace is a large scale pendant that fits very nicely on a plus size curvy figure. If the bee pendant were smaller it would get lost on me, but, having the right scale pendant really makes a difference on a curvy figure. Also, the necklace is adjustable so it can be made longer or shorter and having length as an option is a really nice feature. I also paired my necklace with matching bee earrings to complete the set. My jewelry is from Erstwilder and they make very high quality pieces that flatter all bodies, especially curvy full figures.

My Purple Rose Necklace is spectacular with its beautiful deep purple color and the craftsmanship of the flower petals!! The necklace is adjustable and very comfortable to wear. I think curvy girls should not shy away from pretty necklaces because when you pair it with the right neckline on a dress or sweater it can really be a stunning accessory. Erstwilder has me speechless at their amazing creativity and the pace they release limited edition collections that are high quality, stunning, and one of the only plus size jewelry manufacturers!!

Eloquii Petal Pusher Wrap Dress Review

Eloquii Petal Pusher Wrap Dress Review Yasmina Greco Crazy4me

Being a “wrap dress” expert, today I am introducing you to a brand new brand here at Crazy4Me and they are called Eloquii. As most of my longtime readers know my favorite dress style is the wrap. I love wrap style dresses because they are a curvy and busty gals best friend. They enhance your waist and flatter your figure. Today I am going to tell you all about the Petal Pusher Wrap Dress with Layered Skirt from Eloquii.

Eloquii is a brand that carries stylish clothing in sizes 14-28. Having seen a beautiful polka dot dress on social media I went to the Eloquii website and that is when I started to see so many wonderful prints and colors and styles of clothing. Everything from dresses, skirts, blazers, slacks, tops, casual, business wear and more was on this site. I then saw this glorious shade of green and it turned out to be a wrap dress and the print is Petal Pusher. The dress has a layered skirt with ruffled sleeves and skirt. The style looked so feminine and vibrant and I knew I needed it to start Spring with.

Curves and Colors for the Holidays

Yasmina Greco Holiday Christmas Lyra Dress Petaluma Lady Voluptuous

It has been a very busy couple of weeks with lots of shopping and holiday preparations. We spent an afternoon in Petaluma this past weekend shopping and enjoying the season. We shopped, had lunch and Christmas coffee too. I like dressing up but still being comfortable for holiday activities and today I am wearing my Lyra dress from Lady Voluptuous. I love the colors and print on this dress with bright florals and the fit… It is a wrap and you all know that is my go-to style,  it is flattering for all shapes but I find it especially fits perfectly on my curves. It was not very cold so I added a cropped cardigan in a complimentary color and off we went.
