Pink and Pretty

I remember when I was a little girl I got this Barbie for Christmas called Pink and Pretty oh she was my favorite Barbie of all time partly because pink was my favorite color and she was sooo glamorous .I got that same excitement when I saw this beautiful pink skirt at you guessed it +JCPenney . I have such a love affair with their skirts and when I saw this one online I just knew it had to join my collection. This is the perfect spring skirt because of the beautiful color and you could dress it up like I have or simply wear a t-shirt or tank with sandals for a more casual feel.  This skirt will defiantly bring out the girly girl in you and make you feel all  Pink and Pretty just like Barbie.

Oh Marilyn

When I found out Macy's had a Marilyn Monroe line I glanced at it online and than it finally came to my local Macy's I decide to check it out and I ended up getting this striped dress. I love how strategically the stripes are placed to make your waist look smaller . Even though this line is in the Juniors dept I found a lot of the pieces suitable for a woman in her 40's such as myself the skirts were at a respectable length and gave it a sexy vibe without being to revealing which is exactly where I am in my life.  I decided to this dress a little bit of modern flair by adding my Rock and Republic shoes that I picked up from Kohl's not that long ago and topped off the look with my super cute bag I scored off the Jcpenney clearance rack and my ode' to Marilyn was born.   

 In true Curlybyrdie fashion I was able to get this look without breaking the bank.  This dress was normally priced at $49.00 and I scored it thanks to my coupon for $20 .  It is perfect for a curvy body like the curvy girl herself Ms. Monroe. 

I love wearing dresses and pretty things and I love this quote because I am in total agreement.
 
I'm very definitely a woman and I enjoy it. ”

Say Hello to my $6 pants

Happy Sunday my fellow Fashionista's ! I can't believe it is Monday eve already! It was a sunny day in the Hoosier state today and the perfect opportunity to rock my $6 crop pants that I picked up in the Juniors department at Macy's . These pants are made by American Rag and they are perfect. They did not cross that fine line of not being appropriate for this middle age woman because believe me my teenage daughter would have let me know with the quickness. I am very hesitant to try on pants in the junior but these were very generous in the bootie area which is so important with this pear shape.  I decided to wear this with a crop top and thick belt to cover my stomach area. To my surprise this matched this fabulous necklace that I purchased from +H&M some time ago. How are you Fashionista's transitioning into these warmer temps?  I would love to hear any tips or tricks

Sunday is my Funday

We are now through our first week of  March and I am already getting spring fever. I know it's around the corner but until then I guess I will dress accordingly .  I found this jumpsuit at H&M that was priced so right at $19.95. Now at $19.95 I just had to give it a try .The tricky thing about jumpsuits with a pear shaped girl is sometimes it is difficult finding something that fits on the hips and also the top and I did run into this a little with this one . I made due and think that it is definitely worth me making a trip to a seamstress to make this little number a little more flattering  I added my Michael Kors trenchcoat that I  got from my local Clothes Mentor here in Fort Wayne. I was so excited to find this awesome jacket for only $40 how sweet is that? A Michael Kors trench coat for that a price like that?  I was over the moon and I went in there looking for a black jacket. I thought that a pop of animal print would set this look off nicely so I added my cheetah print booties and hat and this chic Sunday look was born!  How was your Sunday ? Are you fashionista's ready for Spring.

Also ladies don't forget that Clothes Mentor not only sells brand name items at discounted prices the also purchase those items that are in your closet that you are not wearing. Why not bring them in for cash or so new pieces to update your wardrobe? Sounds like a win win situation to me.
