DIVA of the Week - Catrice

DIVA of the week is a feature that showcases people with an inspirational personal style. DIVA of the week is someone who's not afraid to have fun with clothes and who dresses to please herself, and in doing so, brightens up everyone else's day.

How would you describe your personal style?
I consider myself a bargain label hunter. I love high end designers mixed with vintage and budget concious finds from walmart, target, thrift stores, and consignment. I love to test out new looks from skinny jeans with sneakers, to cardigans with ruffley tops and slacks. I am a cornocopia of style and I believe that no trend is off limits for plus size women. Style is both individual and universal so I like to try everything at least twice. I have one rule that I live by when getting dressed: Color, bling, and texture!

What are you wearing today?
This is an Ed Hardy shirt that I picked up in the Men's section at TK Maxx. I modified it myself by cutting off the sleeves and making bows at the shoulders from the scraps. I wore it as a tunic and paired it with simple black leggings, yellow patent pumps, and some rough cut coral chip hoop earrings that I made myself. I love this outfit because it shows off my curves, while allowing me to have that high end sex appeal on a budget. Don't be afraid to cut a shirt!
