I fell in love with ASOS-Curve while reading a Gabifresh blog post.  What she was wearing just screamed my name, but when I went to the U.K. site they only went up to a U.S. Size 22, I was so bummed since I wear a size 26-28.  Then I started seeing their plus size line in lots of blogs and I could not resist trying them out. Currently this is my favorite. I wore it on the plane, you can dress it up with earrings and cute shoes or you can throw it on with tights and tennis shoes. What I learned:  If I stick to knits or box shaped I can buy their fabulous clothes.  But I cannot wear their fitted or cotton clothes nor any belts. I usually wear the high waisted size 22 skater dress below with a little jacket or sweater like this one from Domino Dollhouse.  It is quite cool in San Francisco most of the year…affinity

This asymmetrical top from Roaman’s  is one of the trends I have seen on the local women in both Italy and France.  The online plus size stores in the UK and the US both seem to carry quite a few high/low tunics, with the front shorter and the back longer, but I had to look around to find this longer on one side and shorter on the other side.  I wonder if this trend is going to come to the US?

I have seen all types of Gladiator shoes wherever I have seen the locals.  Mainly sandals and some wedges because of the cobblestone or concrete paver streets.  They are often worn with leggings and or a mini skirt with a top like the one above.

I have also seen all ages of women and girls wearing t-shirts with their racer-back tops. Seems like the goal might be to be able to wear a bra and not have the back and straps show.
Au revoir mes jolies femmes…affinity

This is me leaning out of our balcony in Nice, France. I cannot tell you how happy I am to have real wifi again.  I will go back and share some outfits from the ship in the next few days.  Today I am wearing a long sleeved pink striped tee. Size 26-28 from Avenue. It tends to be a little long in the arms and the cuffs, but I can count on an Avenue 26-28 to fit me everywhere else.  We can see the parasailing from our desk in the room. Joie de vivre…affinity
