I haven't posted a :::drools::: post for a while because I haven't found a celebrity outfit that inspired me in ages. Discussing my writer's block with my Darling Mum, she offered to buy me a fashion mag from our local Duane Reade in the hopes that it would give me some celebrity style ideas... and boy did it,
thanks Mum!!!
Inspired again, I scoured the internet and found a terrific photo of Jessica Alba which I
immediately knew I wanted to replicate for plus size fashionistas!!!
Jessica is rocking a Dolce and Gabbana Fall 2010 dress coupled with some gorgeous bangles, a killer black nail polish shade and buckled gladiator heels courtesy of Michael Kors. Let's get started on how I worked the outfit out --
Let's face it... it all starts with the dress. I fell head over heels in love with the
Printed Velvet Dress Length (
£40.00/$63.66,
Simply Be) I wish I could've found a dress that had the fuller bottom, but I love the rose print and you can't beat how similar the dresses are... black band and all!!
I decided to make the shoe selection a bit more weather-appropriate for the girls in colder climates (Of course we can rock open toed shoes in the winter, but really... we shouldn't!) and selected the
Madden Girl Sing Sing Bootie (
$44.95,
DSW). Jessica's shoes are all about the cross strap and silver buckles... and these Sing Sing Bootie has that!!!
For Jessica's bracelets, I went to my favorite go-to place for low cost, groovy jewelry and selected the
Chic Bangle Set (
$7.80,
Forever 21).. a simple and economical addition to any outfit for a bit of
va va va voooom!!!
And last but not least, for nail polish, you can't go wrong with
Rimmel Lasting Finish Nail Polish Black Satin (
$3.99,
CVS). This finishing touch will have you Red Carpet Ready in no time... just like Jessica Alba!!
