My Style: I’ll Take a Two Piece and Some RebDolls
You know, I have to do better with these outfit posts. As much as I run around, I do not get to share off my faves all the time… anywho, I have been a fan of these coordinating sets, I tried a few and I think I have found which works the best for me… I have long been talking about RebDolls, hell I even have a RebDolls giveaway happening right now, well I though it only right to show off one of the looks that I am most in love with- Right?
My Style: I’ll Take a Two Piece and Some RebDolls
BUT, my question or task here is how to make these looks work in the chilly weather. Hey, I am from Cali, so bear with me. Everything is jackets, jackets, and more jackets. And thanks to this uber fun Lindi jacket from BB Dakota, I can be warm AND cute (more on BB Dakota soon). Hrmph. And it is not like you are sitting outside in the cold four hours at a time, so I played with these strappy black patent Smash Heels that I also have in that fun neon yellow!
Now, as much as I love black, I do have a penchant for jewel toned and rich hues. This teal (also a purposeful blog color) is no exception! I love this color, allowing this Crop Top and Midi skirt set to be classics by themselves and rocking them together makes for a serious- ‘Heyyy booo’ situation.
On the set, I LOVE the length of the skirt and the weight of the cotton used. I can see these mixed and matched with a few items in the closet… do NOT be surprised if you see these two a few times over on the blog.
And because I am silly, I had to have a bit of fun with these shots, because… I am a bit goofy and love to dance. Thanks to my fun and sharp new photog, Chase, I imagine many more fun shoots and shots to come to the blog! Are you ready to see and watch more of me?

This look, I probably would not have rocked six years ago… I have noticed over the past two years I have been stepping into a boldness, playfulness, and freer personal style- one that expresses who I am NOW, as a woman, sister, blogger, and everything else in between. I do love this change and I am curious to see where this will grow!
What do you think? Have you seen yourself and your style change over the past two years? Do you like your changes? How has this reflected where you are at in life?

I am the Editor in Chic of The Curvy Fashionista. Often goofy. Forever emo. Always a Virgo. You can find me somewhere grooving to 90s R&B.
I also ordered some pieces from rebdolls and unfortunately :
the 1X swag sweater is wayyyyyyy too big to me. and the 2X black zipper dress is one size smaller.
i’m quite sad as I can’t return them: I’m international customer. I hope next time i could place an order my size will be in stock.
But in general, I love their style!! The grisel midi skirt and the relaxed crop look awesome !!!
I completely hear you! But it is always good to take in that to have to add to to make bigger! Have you thought about a tailor?
This outfit is on my rebdolls wishlist! Love the color and the midi skirt.
You will appreciate it! 🙂 I loveeee the length of the skirt!
Just found your blog through a friend on Facebook and I’m loving everything about it. Your great style and fashion tips led me to a beautifully flattering dress from ASOS Curve and now I’m drooling over these Rebdoll sets. The midi skirt is a curvy girls best friend and can’t wait to add a piece from Rebdolls to my closet!! 🙂
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH this makes me happy to read! I am excited to see what you bring to it!!! Work it out boo!
You look amazing! I think there is something to be said about style evolving as you become more confident in your own body – I bought a sequinned dress at the weekend, something I would never have gone near even a year ago, but I’m a lot happier in myself than I was last year!

Ohhhh do you have a link to it? Have you worn it yet Charli? I want to see!!!!!
You look fantastic in that outfit! I have the same two piece but I haven’t been brave enough to wear it yet.
YOU CAN DO IT!!! YOU CAN! 🙂
Too sweet! I love that blue on you. It’s always fun to skim through your blog – so much joy here!
Greetings,

Thank you sooooo much! That means a lot to me that you find so much joy here! XOXOXOXO
Hey! I am wondering what size you bought this two piece in. I was attempting to order from their size guide which was putting me in a 3x even though I am typically an xl to 1x in other brands. I also see that there is a stretch to the waistline of the skirt. Can you give em an idea of how you figured out the correct sizing? I don’t want to order something that doesn’t fit correctly
I got a 2x in this outfit and am a size 16/18! Getting a size up allowed for it to be fitted and comfy!
