lets stick with fashion

The never ending question I get from my readers have been where do curvy women buy jeans. Here are a couple of tips I use whenever I'm denim shopping. 

1. I always feel them to make sure they are soft which makes them super comfy, then I do a stretch test. 

2. I read the labels inside to see what they are composed of. I prefer denim with 2% elasthanne, cotton, and 2% spandex. 

3. I try them on and most times they fit me in the hips but not in the waist, so I focus on that and then it's time to take a trip to my seamstress.

Sometimes when things don't fit us the way we like, it's best to make an investment to get them altered. I get most of my jeans taken in at the waist and at the hemline. I also get dresses shortened, sleeves removed and any other crazy thing I can think of because I love to experiment with fashion. You have to do what works for your body type.

My favorite jeans are  Rag&Bone, CitizenofHumanity, Seven, Joe's and J Brand. I've tried Current Elliot, but very few styles fit my curves. I can't forget the Old Navy rock star Skinnies. They have the perfect stretch for curvy girls and they come in every color. Hope I answered all your questions. Have a great week!

empowering women all over the world!

Recently I had the privilege of attending the Women's Campaign International Charity Brunch. John Legend gave a wonderful performance that was amazing. What really touched my heart was when I heard the founder of this amazing charity Marjorie Margolies speak. I really felt the passion she had for helping and encouraging women. I'm all for empowering women so I immediately knew that this was something that I wanted to be apart of.  She helps women all over the world make a living for themselves with the essentials to make it easier which saves them time and allows them to make money. Imagine if you had to walk 4 miles everyday just to get water. These women inspire me.

I am so humbled by this experience and  honored that I was able to be in the presence of women who had such huge hearts for other women! You guys can check out it out here.
