Pick of the Week: Curvy Cords

By -
When the winter wind starts to bite, I shod my legs in denim armor. Daily jeans, however, can get really boring. I'd like to switch things up with some good ol' fashion whoosh-whoosh corduroy pants. Target currently has a curvy cut cord available in four neutral colors, and they're on clearance for $21.24. (Note, the reviews on Target.com suggest buying up a size.) I'm picturing these with a bright orange sweater and black distressed leather boots. How do you wear corduroys?

Do you know where I can get wide wale corduroy pants for women?

Most corduroy I found are thin wale (angel hair pasta width) which are not that warm. the wide wale corduroy (spagetti width) so often found in menswear is virtually nonexistent in women wear. =(

I haven't thought about cords in a long time, I should check out my local thrift shop. Yes, jeans do get predictable after awhile! As much as I love them. But when you go out in public (at least here) it's all you see--jeans, jeans, jeans, as far as the eye can see. Day, night, men, women, children, old, young.

JEANS.

My cords are hot pink ($4 super clearance from the gap a few years ago!) but because of the color, I don't wear them that often. My work is pretty conservative, so I only bust them out about once a month. The plus side is, that means that they're probably going to last me forever because they see so little wear.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at ...

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
