Every woman has that one item, and in the case of a very few, several items in their closet that make them feel like a million bucks. It is that one piece that affords you numerous compliments, slims you far better than spanx can or just has you sashaying down a normal street as if it was your personal catwalk. Move over Naomi! I am lucky to have more than one thing in my closet that makes me feel this way and this dress is at the top of that list. Diane von Furstenberg unleashed the iconic wrap dress to the world in 1972 and no matter what size or shape, every woman exhaled a sigh of relief that it in fact did hug the curves in the most flattering manner. In the last 2.5 years, you all have watched me add to my curves collection by putting on a little 27lbs weight. I cannot help it, I’m just greedy and just love to hoard arm jiggle, back fat and thigh cellulite! It’s a problem I know (lol). When I want to look chic and feminine I always gravitate to this little number and today was no exception. I truly love it! I seriously feel like Sophia Loren the minute I cinch that waist and because of that, this designer fab find from Marshall’s will forever have a place in my sartorial arsenal!
I read once, probably on Tumblr, that the sexiest curve on a woman is her smile and I wholeheartedly believe this to be true. Nothing destroys a fantastic outfit like a frown and nothing wakes up a dreadful ensemble like a genuine smile. So because of that I urge each and every single one of you to start your day off with a “big ole” smile and see how the world responds!
Happy Thursday!!!!
