Last night we had a girls night out at the Mission Inn in Riverside.  We had about 12 women show up and we were scrambling for seats because at Christmas time the MI gets so crowded with people looking at the decorations and lights and having dinner.  We took some photos with Santa.  Mine is courtesy of Paula since I'm having issues with my camera charger.

                                                   Sweater, scarf and skirt from Target.

We went to listen to my friend Skip play guitar, and sax, and sing.

If you're still looking for Christmas or NYE dresses, here are a few more of my favorites.

                                                Avenue again.  I bought this beauty for
                                                $40. on sale in red.  I love the lace, tiers,
                                                 and sequins.  I actually bought this for a
                                                 Valentines Day party.

                                                    Barn.


Hoping everyone has a wonderful Holiday!

The best Laid Plans...

I started off with great intentions of blogging several times each week but life got in my way.  Very soon after I did my first post, I got the nasty flu that's going around. I'm running about a week and a half behind schedule in all areas of my life.  Yikes, Christmas is only a week and a half away and I still need to get the tree up!

I wanted to start off with some party dresses since Christmas time and New Year's Eve is Party Time! 

Red Dresses have to go first because I love red (maybe it's because of my hair) and red is so right for Christmas! 

These qualify as elegant for any age.  My goal is show you clothing that is beautiful and wearabe for plus size women who are over forty or fifty or whatever...really the things could be for any age.  I believe that we can be in style and on trend without dressing "too young" or "too old."  It doesn't have to cost a fortune either.  I shop at Avenue, Lane Bryant, Torrid, Target, Dress Barn, Walmart...where ever there are cute things.

Til next time...Hugs,

Susan

A Little Intro...

Hi to all my curvey and elegant friends.

  I've been thinking about this blog for quite a while.  So many fashion blogs and fashion magazines are geared toward young women.  I love reading those blogs and magazines like Lucky, Glamour and Instyle but I'm not in my twenties or thirties and I still love fashion.  I still want to have pretty clothes, hair and make-up.  I'm a woman with curves who doesn't have a teenager's body but that doesn't mean I can't be a fashionista.

Some personal things about me:  I'm a redhead...made a little more that way with some help.  I'm on the shorter side (5 feet and 3 inches) and the rounder side.  I'm kind of straight up and down with a
big bust, not much booty but a little tummy I try to hide.  We all have things we like and don't like about our physical selves but that will not stop us from looking good!

I feel like I lead a pretty active and exciting life.  I have lots of friends, go to a lot of fun events and travel for fun several times each year.  I'm not rich but I'm learning how to live a rich and full life.  I'll let you in on some of the tricks and hints I've used to make life more interesting.  Nothing I do is illegal or dangerous, so I hope you'll join me as I blog along.

I'm adding another photo here so you can get idea of what I look like ( I'm on the right).
