Just keeping you currant!

I can't figure out what's more annoying right now, the never ending heat or Mercury retrograde, either way I have to deal with it so I am turning my focus to my favorite topic, dressing you!  As a former goth I love a black ensemble as much as you do, but pancake make-up and Siouxsie Sioux aside, it's time for us to start living in color.  If you are a Buxom regular then I am certain that you are familiar with my spiel and it goes like this...I am so tired of everyone thinking that full figured vixens have to wear black because it's slimming.  For you newbies, consider this your warning, I hate it when people insist on black because it make you look skinny.  I don't concentrate on making you look skinny, I want you to look good!  When I bring something black into my store it's because I am considering how it fits into your closet and works with your wardrobe to create new outfits, I am not trying to shave off 5lbs from your bodacious body.

In my effort to make good on my word I bring you one of my favorite colors, currant. Is it black, brown, or purple, well yes it is.  This post is featuring the Sympli currant dress just in from Canada!  You have seen it featured on the website paired with the olive bolero, clearly I dig purple and green together.  Here are a few more options to consider.

I pulled out my denim bolero...it's pretty special I know.  You don't have to use a bolero here, a jean jacket would be just as awesome.   The addition of denim makes this dress more casual. 

I would so add this boot! This is the Silas from Nordstrom.  A boot does not have to be up to knee to be awesome, it also doesn't have to be black.

The next item I pulled from my closet is my faithful and always great ruffle cardi in gray.  I know, gray and currant is unexpected but oh so nice!  I belted the cardi to give some shape, don't be afraid of belts (I'm talking to you Coleen). 
                                                         
These are the boots I would wear to compliment the outfit that I just put together, again, these boots are not up to the knee but every bit as fashionable and trendy...maybe even more so.  These are the Vintage Studded boot from Frye, and they are pricey but they make me swoon!  I have some Frye boots and I can tell you that they never go out of style and last so long that you can pass them down to your grandchildren (in my case it will have to be Charlene's grandchildren).
