Perfectly [Rip]ened
Attractive Defects:
[Rip]ped Jeans!
Though we all feel silly for buying jeans that are likely to be more expensive WITH rips, these jeans are a fun piece to have access to! Whether you decide to shell out the extra cash or are crafty enough to do it yourself, ripped jeans are a must have!
*Classy [Rip]s*
In this creation I have paired my ripped jeans ($32 at Forever 21) with a simple white tank, a gray embroidered cotton blazer ($10 at TJMaxx), gunmetal pumps & a glitzy headband with studs to top it off!
The rip of the jeans softens the over "stiffness" that a blazer can cause. But by balancing the rips with pumps & glitzy icing, the rips do not look trashy but rather fashionable!
*Experiment different blazers with ripped jeans. You'll be glad you did!
*Conservative [Rip]s*
Beginning with my ripped jeans, I added a tight white laced sleeved top with matching white wedges, a tan belt and, the stand out accents, turquoise drop earrings & chunky bracelet.
This creation is classic in the color palate with the added turquoise for an accent! Once again the rips add an attractive stress to the jean making this creation a fun twist on a classic color combo!
*It's always acceptable to go for jeans & white or jeans & black. Think of sprucing up the classic combos with accent colors or ripped jeans!
*Sassy [Rip]s*
In the instance of this creation, it is important to note that I DO work for an intimates company! Where I would not where this top to the law office, it is super sexy & sassy as a top in the appropriate atmosphere!
Combining my ripped jeans with this Noir style soft pink & black molded cup cami, a black cardi (for a little decency) and my black wedges to boot, this creation is undeniably sexy and edgy! The rips, here, help distract from my hoots.
All in good taste & fashion!
*Try rockin' a sexier top with your ripped jeans. The contrast of dressy & casual make for a fun creation!

EMPOWE[RED]
Using Fashion as a Tool:
Empowered in RED!
There's no doubt that your outfit makes you feel a certain way. Whether you're bummin' it in comfy sweats or swingin' it in a frilly skirt or workin' it in a killer mini, your mood absolutely is fed by your creation. When I need to feel in CONTROL or in DEMAND, I always find myself reaching for red. Without hesitation or fail, this hue continuously amps up my game whether I'm in the office or on the town.
Here are some of my favorite power-up creations!
*Empowe[red] with Pants*
#3
#1: Beginning with my bright red off the shoulder top, I paired this puppy with my black wash jeggings, black specs, gunmetal skinny belt & corresponding drop earrings, my "Sophia" boudoir bra (the red straps appear to be part of the top!), and my knee-high black stiletto boots. This creation was not only comfy, the top was the perfect tummy-camo while creating the exta-red power trip!
#2: My skinny jeans are the perfect start to my "Jammy" red creation! My tank is actually a RS sleepwear top! With the help of my solid red jacket (a find from my high school closet left at Moms), I iced this outfit with brass jewelry & my white wedges to boot! Comfort aside, nothing demands attention like bright red lips. On a day you're feeling down, pen on some lipstick and rock your inner goddess!
#3: This creation is the result of a long, difficult, & frustrating week of work. Wanting to end the week with a bang, I searched for the ideal RED outfit... Rocking a pair of jeans jeggings, I added a completely transparent red lace tank (compliments of Mom's 80s wardrobe) topped by a camel silk jacket. Accessorized with multiple multi-colored bracelets, gold earrings, and, most importantly, my red patent pumps. There was no denying my drive & refusal to quit!
*Do note that in all of these creations I have made sure to wear "big girl" heels. Standing tall in a pair of heels makes all the difference in your confidence boosting!*
*Empowe[red] with Dresses*
#1: Who doesn't want to be the center of attention at a dinner party?
This unique cotton wrap dress by Miss Tina is a favorite within my classy dresses. Matched with black tights & black patent Mary Jane's topped off by simple gunmetal & pearl drop earrings by my adored R.J. Graziano, this dress is fabulously attention grabbing with or without tights!
#2: Who doesn't want to stand out in a crowd?
Attending Fashion Week Tampa Bay (have I mentioned that I LOVE my job?!), I wore this deep red one-sholuder mini with all the right rouching & cinching to draw eyes to me. This mini was a find at... (I'm not joking)... Marshalls! A big thanks to my cuñada, Val, for lending it to me! Completing the creation with bright red lips, a multi-stranded brass necklace with matching earrings & ring and finalized with my brand-spankin'-new Jessica Simpson black/gold mega pumps. These are bound to be a winter staple!
*The cut of a dress is pivotal to your mood enhancement. For us curvy gals, sticking with a waist cinching cut or skin-tight number will, undoubtedly, always do the trick!*

Help[ed] Me Rhonda!
The Answer to All "Intimate" Questions:
Rhonda Shear Intimates!
First I need to apologize for having been on hiatus without forewarn... But, I mean it is completely for a good cause! A NEW JOB! The one I landed wearing my skinny jeans and floral pumps? You guessed it! I'm now an extremely proud team member at Rhonda Shear Intimates!
Aside from loving the woman I work for, the one & ONLY Rhonda Shear, I have embraced and developed a deep seated passion for pieces that work. Each and every garment within the collections has the utmost pizazz, functionality, style & grace....and I'm not just saying that because I work there! My lady lumps have been surrendered to Rhonda for over FIVE years now... She really "helped" me!
Here are just a select few looks that showcase some of my favorite pieces!
*The Full Package!*
In this creation I utilize three separate Rhonda pieces: two you can see & one you cannot. This creation consisted of my long white button down collared shirt accented by my RS nude "Action" Bandeau bra (for serious subtle sparkle), a gunmetal skinny belt and coordinating gunmetal jewelry, nude heels (a Rhonda hand-me-down), and lastly... my navy high-waisted SHAPING LEGGINGS. This is no joke people. Leggings that are not only rich in color but they are also sucking in my tummy & lifting my booty! What more could you ask for in a legging?!
*Do note that my "unseen" RS piece is definitely my "Cheeky" panties. Though I chose to wear undies with my leggings, it isn't even necessary! This makes the shaping leggings a triple threat: fashionable, SHAPING & no-panty-needed.
Take it from me... YOU NEED THESE.
*The AUTHENTIC Ahh Bra!*
If you have been following my blog, you will certainly recognize my love of this international best selling bra is anything but new. Being completely wireless with full coverage & totally comfy, the RS Ahh Bra has become my go-to fashion "fixer". The perfect example being the creation here. Rocking my adored snake print maxi (which is far too low cut for the working environment... even for the intimates business) and a black RS Ahh Bra, I top off this number with black wedges, my black specs and brassy drop earrings.
*The Ahh Bra is not just a fantastic fashion "fixer" but it is an amazing leisure bra too. When I worked at an animal hospital it was the one & only bra I ever wore under my scrubs! There's a reason this thing is an international best seller!
*"Nightie" on the Town!*
I've highlighted this creation for a VERY important reason... I am wearing a NIGHT GOWN out in public! And as super sexy top! Doubling as a sensual lace trimmed top and a slip under my pencil skirt, this Butterknit gown is a staple amongst my sleepwear & nightwear! You may be asking, "what the heck is butterknit?" Well, without experiencing the wonder first hand yourself, let me just tell you that it is the world's most heavenly fabric that literally feels like rose petals to the touch. I wish I had sheets that were butterknit....
But enough about the butter and back to this fab look! Pairing my RS butterknit gown with my pencil skirt, I finish off the outfit with black peep toe heels, a glorious RJ Graziano multi-strand lucite necklace & bracelet, and a gunmetal mega ring. To say the least, this top/gown is certainly an attention getter.
*When you have sleepwear as enticing & seductive as this gown, your options are endless. Muster up the courage to break out those sexy pieces in your closet & wear them on the street! This butterknit gown being only one of many, do yourself a favor and try one. You'll thank me a million times over!
A special thanks to Rhonda for being fabulous and giving us all the chance to be so too! Here's to my amorous adventure within the wide world of intimates...
