I’m sure you have noticed that I like black and white and that I love geometrics, so when I saw these slouchy pants, I knew I wanted them. Continue reading

I Am Loving ASOS Curve Salon
I love ASOS Curve. I love that they are trendy. I love that their sizes run large, and I can wear many of their US Size 22s and almost all of their US Size 24 clothes. AND they have great sales. They are at the top of my “go to list” for clothes.
And YAY, they are creating a more upscale look in their summer 2014 collection, ASOS Curve Salon.
On my list for summer is the easy fit and flare print with the white inserts. I do not always buy new trends but I like this one a lot. And who does not need a beautiful embellished dress?
But I have also loved the three Salon dresses that are on sale, which are on the same page for ASOS Curve Salon. Some of the sizes are sold out, but they are worth checking out, in my humble opinion.

UPDATE: 6/21/2014 ASOS had a fire and stopped taking orders until the damage could be assessed. Hopefully there will not be too much damage.

Red Lips Sink Ships
A red cami under a black Avenue Size 26/28 cami to provide contrast
eShakti skirt Size 5X (a little large in the waist and a little long even though I specified my height as 5’3″) Photo: Leori Gill
When I saw this skirt I knew I had to have it. I had been looking for something with red lips for awhile and I loved that this was embroidered netting over a cotton skirt.

My friend Claire giving me a kiss at the Party, to go with the one on my Cami, and isn’t Claire’s dress fabulous?
I got an opportunity to wear it when my friends threw a fabulous party for a very special friend’s birthday . It was a wonderful night.
Alumni, friends, and current campers from the Mansonian Institute of Urban Studies, our camp for several years at Burning Man
The party was at a venue I had been dying to go to, The Battery, and since the Birthday Girl was a Burning Man campmate, we got to see various iterations of different years of campmates from many different years of Burning Man. A glorious evening. That is a kiss on MonkeyBoy’s face, I had kisses on my skirt and top so I handed out sticker kisses. Such a fun evening. Thanks to my friends for creating this moment.

And we had a chance to have our photo taken in front of the Bay Lights by the fabulous John Curley. The evening was everything I could have wanted.

Simply Be Review – U.S. Size 28 Pencil Skirt
I bought this pencil skirt from Simply Be in a US Size 28, and I wear it all the time. I love it, it is fun and flirty, and get compliments whereever I wear it (they no longer have it in this size, but here is a precious, even less expensive, pink lips skirt that is similar.) I had wanted to see what Simply Be sizing was like in this style.
In the last several years I have made several Joe Brown purchases, also from Simply Be. They are cute and fun and fit as well in the US Size 28, and they have worked well on me.

Simply Be, YAY, U.S. Size 28 Plus Size Clothing – Lovin’ It
Did you know that SimplyBe carries U.S. Size 28? I love that. A size 28 in fun clothes is difficult to find anywhere but look this Anna Scholz line, with this sexy dress, or a blouse in the same material, or a maxi skirt in a different tropical print, and with summer coming… These may be some “gotta have it” clothes.
Then there is my favorite biker jacker at the moment, in pink. Gotta love it.
I just bought a pencil skirt (which you will see shortly) from Simply Be in a U.S. Size 28 and it fit perfectly. To compare my measurements to yours, click HERE.
So take a chance, they have easy returns and I am loving their style and size range.

2nd Blogiversary Giveaway – $50 Gift Card from SONSI
Okay, it is the third day of our five day Giveaway to celebrate Affatshionista’s 2nd Blogiversary. A big thank you to SONSI for their generous contribution of a $50 Gift Card.
Let me tell you a little story. You probably know that I am a costume person, all kinds of costumes, but the Mother of all costume holidays is of course Halloween. As I was preparing my Halloween post, I received an email from Sonsi touting their costume selection. When I went back to the author of the email with a concern that SONSI did not have much for 4X and larger women. I got a return email saying they had researched their lines and that the brand most likely to fit 4x+ was Dreamgirl. Now that is caring about your customers.
So I reached and they were kind enough to participate in our celebration.
Here are the rules:
- No purchase necessary
- The winner chosen at random by the giveaway software Rafflecopter, with one entry for each point
- This giveaway is sponsored by SONSI.com
- Giveaway ends Tuesday, February 25th at Midnight 2014, Eastern Time

Pink Clove UK Size 30-32 Review
Pink Clove Shrug UK Size 30/32
Pink Clove Gold Foil Pencil Skirt UK Size 30/32 (Still Available and On Sale)
Leggings – SWAK
I saw this Gold Foil Skirt at Pink Clove and I had to have it, and guess what the UK size 30/32 fit perfectly. Just my style, a little inappropriate glitz, day or night.
On the other hand, the shrug may have fit like it was supposed to, but I did not feel like it was very becoming, so I will find something else to wear with the skirt, but I gave it to a friend, who is a little smaller than I am and she LOVES it.
I think Pink Clove is creating fun, trendy clothes, and selling them cheaper and in larger sizes than I am seeing in the US. I will try something else again soon.
I am loving the SWAK Leggings and I think they would fit someone much larger than I am.
