Hey curvy girls all over the world,
Today was a roller coaster ride with the weather. One minute it’s unseasonably warm, the next minute it’s cloudy and raining, and then all of a sudden the sun pops out. What’s up with that? I don’t want to complain because it’s only mid January and I’m thankful that no snow has fallen. While the weather couldn’t make up it’s mind neither could I when it came to getting dressed today for work.
I’ve really been sticking to my limited shopping rule and recreating looks with the clothes that are already in my closet. I’ve only been buying accessories and interesting pieces to update my wardrobe.
I wanted an easy look to throw on in this complicated weather so I went for a New York City girl look and rocked all black. After pacing for about 5 minutes I reached for my polka dot top from Faith21 and my leather skirt from One Stop Plus for a simple chic New York working girl look.
I topped off my look with my double breasted wool Guess coat and suede ankle boots from Bakers. Since my look was all black, you know I needed a pop of color. I opted to rock out in my new red leather gloves that I scored at Century21. Colorful or patterned gloves are a fantastic and fun way to add spice to a simple winter coat.

Great outfit, great fit and love the leather skirt. Not crazy about the gloves though, I would have went with color on the feet instead of on your hands 😉
