So I’ve never been your typical skinny girl. My mom has curves so naturally I was bound to have them too. Don’t get me wrong, I have a goal weight that I strive to be and I know I will get there one day soon. But until that time comes, I refuse to hide behind frumpy clothes and feel like I can’t be sexy, fashionable, and fabulous just because I’m curvilicious! Take notice that I use the term curvy instead of plus size. I hate the term plus size because what is PLUS to some, is just right for others.

For years curvy girls were being ignored in the fashion world because society seemed to have the image of skinny and curve-less as the gold standard. Well that has changed and curvy girls are starting to make their mark on the fashion industry. More stores are taking notice and coming out with plus size lines. Yes indeed, curvy girls love fashion too!!!
I know it’s hard out there for a curvy girl to find trendy, fashionable clothing that fits. Believe me I have felt disgusted at what they try to push on women with curves. When I step out people often ask me where I get some of my clothing. My response is simply this: I shop everywhere from department stores to online shopping. You just have to look around and put things together. Torrid stores and Torrid.com, Macys, Ashley Stewart, Target, missphit.com, and forever21.com (plus size line only available online) are great places to start. My rule of thumb is accessorizing. You can take a fabulous top and some tights, leggings, or jeggings and make it work. Don’t forget the heels and clutch to top it all off. So curvy girls let’s step out and declare that that Curvy girls are here to stay!!!
I’ve been eyeing a few items and thought it would be a great to share, these are also some fun fashion finds. I’ve also included two looks that are easy to pull off. You don’t have to purchase the exact items I included, understanding the concept is the
important part.
Okay don’t panic, I understand “Eva the Diva” is not CURVY, but I’m using her as an example of how curvy girls can take a look and make it their own. Check it out below.
This is a ASOS CURVE One Shoulder Jersey Drape Dress from Asos.com Curve section. The shoes are by Gasoline Glamour the same company that made Eva’s shoes.
Here’s a casual look, printed tights, a blazer, and my favorite thing ACCESSORIES!!!
