Tribal

Thank goodness for a nice day! It's been raining non stop here and I thought I'd have to do pics inside again. Fortunately I caught the last bit of sun!








 Monocromatic outfit today. Though I like to wear a lot of color, it's not usual for me to be in all black or black and white. Dunno why - maybe my subconscious is stuck on that old "black is slimming" idea.



















There was a time, probably around 13 or 14 years old, that I actually had to ban myself from buying black, red or grey! My closet was full of it and I knew I needed to change it up.



















I had a red sweatshirt that I wore to DEATH back then! To this day, if I find myself wearing jeans and a red sweatshirt of some sort, I still feel like I'm back in those years.



















But on to the present! Today I'm wearing a cute printed tank with a old black cardi from yearssss ago. Hard to tell but it's got black sequin detail around the front collar and shoulder. The jeans are Hydraulic skinnies, though by the stretch in these things I'd say they're more like jeggings - they're from last year, so I guess no one was calling them that yet. They're super comfy in anycase, even if the wash isn't my favorite. I definitely want a pair of black jeggings, and maybe a pair of dark wash ones as well. I love wearing them with heels, especially my go-to patent peep toe pumps.




I love silver jewelry and this bold cuff is no exception. I paired it with another bold piece, this silver and black cocktail ring.



And lastly, my little clutch! When it's not being used as a clutch, I acutally use this as a camera case and stick it in my purse. I'm a sucker for (faux) snake skin!

Welcome to my first two followers, Christina of Randomness, a la Mode, and Adlai!

Great fashion is coming our way!

I can't even tell you guys how excited I was when this popped into my inbox!!


I've longggg be jealous of all those lucky girls over in the UK, they have such great options when it comes to on-trend plus size shops! Evans, ASOS Curve, even Dorothy Perkins has good stuff at times. And don't even get me started on DUO boots. That's for another day!

I've ordered from ASOS Curve, and truly LOVED everything I got! They're some of my very favorite pieces, super stylish and they fit well. They'll definitely be making an appearance here soon! If you're dying for a piece and don't want to wait until the U.S. site lauches, ASOS is giving free shipping both ways to the U.S.! I know where my next paycheck is going... :)

Have you ordered before from ASOS Curve? What's your favorite UK site?

So, it's my first post!

It's my first post, and I hope you enjoy it! This is a quick outfit I threw together this morning. It was one of those days. You know the ones - where you stare at your overflowing closet, but still have nothing to wear. So this is what I came up with.

One of my favorite summer dresses paired with leggings to "fall" it up, and peep toe flats in lieu of the boots I wish I could have worn on this muggy day. I like the shape of this dress; the empire waist works on me, and the length is perfect with or without leggings, it hits right at the knee - Just enough skin when I choose to go bare legged.

I love the beading on the neckline. So bright and cheery!

And of course, two of the things you'll never see me without - at least one ring, and manicured nails. Click here for more info about the polish I'm wearing!

I haven't quite decided how I'm going to layout outfit pics. I feel like this little collage is a cute idea, but the pics are too small. I'll experiment as I go I guess. Let me know what you think!

Welcome!

Welcome everyone, to Fatale Fashion!

I've be a loyal peruser of many a "fatshion" blog in the last few months and they've inspired me to start my own blog to chronicle my forays in fashion.

I'm a curvy and fashion-conscious 23-year old from New Jersey. I've always been into fashion, but the explosion of the plus size market this year is so inspiring! I'm eager to share my looks in hopes that I can prove, like other fatshion bloggers before me, that you don't have to be a size 2 to look good.

I'm a lover of fashion, jewelry, makeup, and am also a huge nailpolish junkie. Visit me at my polish blog, Va-Va-Varnish!

Thanks so much for reading, and enjoy!
