I'm back from my lovely New England "mini-vacay"- I got alot of rest, had the "Black Friday" experience and even tasted fried turkey for the 1st time!! (Yum!)
This month what I'm Jonesin' for is a revamping of my foundation pieces- every once in awhile our closet staples need to be replaced- wear & tear, piling, the piece may not fit you like it used to or you just want to change it up a bit. The choice is yours to spend a little or alot on your staples- some are truly investments while others can be easily replaced. Here's what I need...
Jeans- Right now the Lane Bryant Right Fit Jeans are my staples! But pretty soon I'm going hunting to try on all types/styles of jeans- who wants to join me?
Right Fit Stretch Bootcut Jeans, $29.99, Lane Byrant
Bras- After my "lil sis" finishes up her finals- we're going bra shopping. Gotta support the girls- no worries I'll blog all about it. Did you know that 80% of women are wearing the wrong bra size? Get fitted!
Cardigan - perfect to stave off the chill a bit. I have a couple in different colors- they are soo versatile. I can wear it over a t-shirt with jeans for a casual look or pair them with a dress. Elbow sleeve or full sleeve- dress up and see which one you like best.
Fishnets- Yes, fishnets are one of my closet staples! They are fun! Worn correctly its' the perfect "wink" in your outfit- what's better than show-stopping curves in a dress, fishnets & high-heels?
Wrap Dress- Ok, so I don't need to replace my wrap dresses, but I want a new one! Forever flattering... you can't go wrong.
Hoop Earrings- I wear hoops just about everyday- definitely one of my staples. They come in many different colors, designs, textures and most of all varying prices! Versatile, easily replaceable, always elegant.
Tyra's Triple Hoops $9.95, Emitations.com
Boots- I definitely need a new pair of boots- my poor boots I've been wearing them ragged! (Check out my past post on boots ! )
Tote Bag- I love clutches but my everday bag is HUGE! And with studying I need something to fit my notes and books... but still cute.
LimeNRoses Joey Tote $35.20, Ebags.
What would Jonesin' be without indulging a bit.....
Nine West Mixed Company Clutch $27.99 & Nine WestBold Strokes $68, both at Ebags.
In the coming weeks I'll be writing up about some of these staples in detail- stay tuned... what needs replacing in your closet?
Is it just me or do most of us curvy ladies do our "Black Friday" thing on "Cyber Monday"? Are any of you getting some major deals?

If you didn't know- today December 1st is World's AIDS Day. There are more than 1,300,000 people living with HIV/AIDS and about 58% are women between 15 t0 49. I've lost way too many friends to AIDS and can't express to you all how much education, testing, protection, prevention and the power of good choices can make a difference.
Spending some time in South Africa teaching AIDS education I saw the devastating effects of AIDS 1st hand. Kids who I played games with in the beginning of my trip - were experiencing the debilitating effects towards the end of my trip and I was sending condolences not too long after my return to the U.S.
I can't stress to all of you how HUGE AIDS is.. please if you're sexually active get tested, if you're not get educated- there are way too many myths and stigmas going around. I'm Jonesin' for a cure... most definitely.

I'll never buy another kind of jean.
I agree with Savvy up there, I will never get another kind of jean, Lane Bryant got it right when they did that. Fishnets are one of your closet staples, you're so saucy.
You get me in trouble every single time- those bags are hot! I like the boots too. I won't even mention the fishnets- get 'em girl
