Hello fashionistas! So, as I have been writing, I do not know if you notice that I use this phrase a lot. I wanted to take the time to share with you just what it means, and why it is so important to me. As a full- figured diva (outside of my work clothes), I have found how near impossible it is to rightfully shop and style as easily as my straight sized sisters.
I have been working in retail for over 10 years, and with that, I have only intensified my awareness and acuteness of fashion and style. What I have noticed is that anyone over the size of 12 is regulated to a limited amount of fashions (thanks to the buyers) that either possess no style or completely miss the mark on the fit. Why do they feel this is why I want? What any woman blessed with curves wants?
So, I thought about it. Why the relegation to internet only shopping, or hide and go seek with specialty boutiques? Yes, I am a woman with curves. I have been a big girl all my life, and I am okay with it. Would I like to tone up? Yes. I want to make sure my curves are smooth… but that is my own preference. But am I dying to lose weight to appease society’s view on beauty? NO!
With this thought process, I have formulated an answer, declaration, reasoning, and new mindset as I dare to embark further into the lovely world of fashion. Three words sum me up completely as I have tirelessly explored a definitive reason for my passion.
I am Curvy. A full-figured woman who loves fashion on the outside of the “high fashion†sizing.
I am Confident. I have no shame with my curves. I rock them, own them, and love them.
I am Chic. Full- figured fashion addict, with a discerning eye for quality, fashion, and style.
With that, I am Curvy.Confident.Chic.
That is my definition, what is yours?
