When you truly love fashion it doesn’t matter where you get your inspiration from, I read everything from Harpar’s Bazaar to Essence. So as I was traveling the world wide web of Glamour magazine today, I was stopped by this article: 10 Dresses Every Woman Should Own! I will admit when Danico Lo from Glamour put the styles together, even I thought to myself – yes, this is perfect. So of course, that put me on a mission to duplicate the styles she picked for the curvy girl in mind.
As you browse through my choices below you will see that I picked out dresses for all coin purses in mind.
From 1-10 as listed by Danico Lo for Glamour but with the curvy girl in mind!
The Sweet & Flirty Summer Frock: I found that Forever 21 did this best with their Braided Straps High-Low Dress
The Ladylike Printed Floral: none other than Tropical Print Pencil dress by Jibri!
The Floor-Length Stunner: Now according to Danica this can be a bold color or print. The Tropical Beauty Maxi – Floor length, bold and gorgeous was nailed by Igigi by Yuliya Raquel.
The Slip-On & Go Fail Safe Party Dress: I’m going with versatility with this selection. The Exclusive Wrap Dress by Asos Curve will give you numerous options for many seasons to come!
The Knee-Length Tailored for Grown-Up Events: Let’s show off your curves and channel Ms Betty Paige! Take it Retro Chic with Torrid.
The Daring Mini with BIG Personality: whenever I need a party dress one of the first places I head to is Fashion to Figure! For me the Ruffle Front Jersey Dress is super cute and although it only comes in black it has a gang of personality! (hint: take it up five notches with a bright pump:)
The Super Sexy Bombshell Dress: glitz. glam. SEQUIN. Although the Samantha Sequin Party Dress is not from Monif C.’s current collection it can still be purchased on Sonsi.com.
The Go-To Sheath for Dressing Up or Down: Sometimes black just isn’t an option. For those day-to-night/work-to-play looks consider a semi-form fitting NAVY DRESS. While at work the Soprano Cap Sleeve Pleated Empire cute number can be paired with a cardigan or blazer!
The Little White Dress: I don’t even have to think twice about this one… the Whitley Cut Out Shoulder Dress from Monif C.’s 2012 Summer Collection. I mean, really… need I say more!
and last but not least….
The Little Black Dress: *sigh* everything for the curvy girl comes in black. But I want my black to be fun… calling ms. Roxanne sold by City Chic to the rescue!
Well ladies it looks my work for the night is done! Do you have a dress or two you think should be added to the line-up? If so, feel free to add your selections to the comments below!
Until next time… xoxo Kimberly
