Pencil skirts are a curvy girl’s best friend! I’ve said it countless times…but every time I put one on, I feel so powerful and shapely, that I have to say it again. Buy a pencil skirt….or 10. This floral printed Kiyonna pencil skirt will be a PERFECT start to your pencil skirt collection…or another fabulous addition! This one I ordered through my Gwynnie Bee account, and love it so much, I think I’m going to buy it!
You can absolutely opt for a basic black top, since this skirt’s bright colors bloom right off the fabric…but I went for a bright yellow draped-neck top from Eloquii that made the yellows in the skirt truly pop. Tuck the top in, and pull the pencil skirt up high on your abdomen, then cinch it with a belt….and that’s a recipe for fabulousness!
Some of you might be wondering…what? She wears glasses??? And when did her hair get so long??? Haha…well, no, I don’t wear glasses. I bought these at Claire’s and pull them out when I’m feeling particularly sassy. AND…I have in clip-in hair extensions!!! I’ll tell you all about it in another post, but for now let me just say that I’m a fan!
So, have I convinced you of the power of the pencil skirt? If you’re not sure, then add this one from Kiyonna to your Gwynnie Bee closet and play around with it. That’s what Gwynnie Bee is all about…having fun with fashion!
Ok, my lovelies. I’m headed to Memphis for the weekend! Keep an eye on my Instagram and Twitter feeds @stylepluscurves to see what I’m up to. xoxo
Have you seen this adorable movie yet??? I am obsessed with The Hairdresser (Die Friseuse). It’s German, it’s funny, it’s sweet, and–shockingly enough–it has a fat chick as the main character.
Kathi has just moved back to Berlin and is starting over with her still-not-ok-with-it daughter. She has a very colorful personality and fashion sense, and despite her unfortunate, but quirky obsession with fruit accessories, she pulls it off. She’s turned down on her first interview at a salon because she’s too fat. But the film is not really about her being fat…she just is, and it’s just another dimension of her character. That’s one of the things I love about the movie.
The amazing director, Doris Doerrie, is not afraid to show a fat body,
which is so refreshing. We see Kathi dancing, getting dressed in the
morning, taking a shower–even having sex…with all her flesh on
display.
It’s a comedy, so there are some jokes that center on her weight and bigness, but it’s handled in a way that was unapologetic and inoffensive and funny…well to me, anyway.
She’s sweet and positive…and ultimately triumphant. Seriously. If you need some chubby girl power in your life…or just like good movies, put this in your Netflix queue immediately. LOVE.
And…there’s even a chubby girl dancing hairdresser revue at the end to really drive home the big girl power atmosphere of the movie. WATCH IT NOW.
