there is life after a size 18!

{from jessica kane of www.curvyconfident30something.com} 

Once upon a time I was unhappy and a size 28. I found it within myself to starve off 125 pounds (got to size 18), and while this was absolutely unhealthy, it was the key to finding my self confidence. That was 8 years ago and a lot has changed for me since then. Mostly, I had a baby and am happily married - can you guess it? Yep, the weight is ALL back. But you know what? I am just as confident as I was then. I now realize the weight was not the problem, how I looked at myself was.

While trying on clothes for a fun fashion post, my brain stopped me for a second to remind myself that my legs are not the best (always have hated my knees), I don't have a tan and my son gave me a fresh bruise. But you know what? I don't give a sh*t. Honestly. I don't think I'm the most wretched looking monster on the planet and while I do wear a size 28 pants, I refuse to hibernate and wear maxi dresses 24/7 (even though they are totally comfy!). I am human, I have flaws and I love my body. My hope is at least one girl who refuses to wear shorts and take full body pictures will see this and somehow be inspired to stop hating herself. I started this fashion blog to help give a voice to the big girls out there and shout from the rooftops, you can FEEL and LOOK gorgeous if you believe it....there is life after a size 18.

My Curvy Girl "Pocket Guide"

Ok, I think I have found my new pocket guide to being a curvy gal. I recently had the wonderful opportunity of meeting one of my longtime “curvy idols”  Chastity Garner. She is one of the 1st plus-sized stylist that I admired when I got started in this business a few years ago.  I was delighted to  find out that she stepped outside the box and wrote a book for us entitled, “ The Curvy Girl’s Guide to Style”.  When I met her, Chastity’s demeanor was so sweet and down to earth and I really appreciated her support for me, especially coming from someone in the same field.    I purchased the book at her book signing at Lane Bryant, NYC, at her meet & greet during FFFW. I started reading the book on my way home from NYC and although I have not finished it, I am recommending it just off of the 1st few chapters that I read.  She breaks down ALL the different types of body shapes we come in and how to dress for each one as well as giving tips that we can use in everyday life. I’m not at Oprah status (yet) but this is a must read. Chastity’s book is available for only $15 on her site at www.garnerstyle.com
