ALEXISBIG MAMA STYLE

AGE: 34 SIzE: 20 FROM: MINNEAPOLIS, MN
Being a mom and a student means I need to be comfortable and
thrifty, but I don’t want that to define what I wear. I gravitate
toward classic styles, but like to play with proportion and color. You
will never see me in a outfit that doesn’t have at least one thrifted
item!

AGE: 28 SIzE: 16/18 FROM: BROOKLYN, NY
Be confident in your personal style no matter the nay sayers. I
embrace every inch of my body, cellulite and all. There is no perfect
body in this world so why beat myself up about how imperfect I
think my body is. I love wearing classic pieces like trench coats and
tailored dresses with bold earrings and sky high heels. I love to step
outside my comfort zone with fashion by wearing a crazy print. I
believe whenever possible, try on everything in the store, you never
know what might fit. Screw the number on the tag.

Don’t be afraid to try different styles and play around with crazy
trends. While having a signature look is great, fashion is meant to
be fun! Play around with ideas and looks and get creative--you can
always put your own twist on an outfit to make it more you!
Also, when in doubt, go with black. Black will always be the new
black!

I don’t let my weight or size dictate my personal style. Fellow
fatshionistas should do the same. If anything, let your weight and
size enhance your style. Tell the world, “Yes, I am fat, but I can wear
stilettos with the best of them!”

AGES: 18 & 21 FROM: DENMARK
Don’t think we have a fashion philosophy, but it is extremely
important that you feel good in what you wear. Don’t let
anybody tell you what YOU should wear, because you only end
up uncomfortable by the choices you didn’t make yourself. If you
wanna wear acid jeans, wear them. If you wanna wear mini skirts,
leggins or nude colours, wear them!

To me, fashion is all about trying on different looks and having fun
with it. One day you can be a sexy super spy, the next - a dainty and
demure lady and the following week, you can be (a stylish, please)
tribute to your favorite fictional character.
The important thing to remember is that no matter how much you
change your look on the outside, always remain true to yourself on
the inside.

If you’re happy with your body, you really can make anything work.
Nothing you’ve ever been told is “slimming” or “flattering” will ever
look as good on you as an abundance of confidence and a smile.

If you don’t feel comfortable with your body, you won’t feel
comfortable in your clothing. Wear something that reflects your
personality and never hold back on your personal style! I dress
for myself and I love playing with different styles and genres.
Confidence is key!

I try and keep it simple and sharp, taking a lot of my inspiration from
fellow fat bloggers. F*** the size and if there’s something wrong
with it, make it work. I’m not afraid of adding straps here or there,
etc.

AGE: 30 FROM: LONDON, UK
I have great curves and I know how to wear them. That is a key
statement for me and it isn’t about wearing what looks the best,
but instead wearing what I like the best. It took me a long time to
know myself and my style and today I love feminine touches mashed
together with biker jackets and scuffed boots. My advice to anyone
else would be - Take your time, explore your style, embrace your
curves.

Remember how Coco Chanel said “Before you leave the house,
look in the mirror and take one thing off”? Ignore that. Wear all the
colours, all the prints and all the accessories. If you think it’s too
much, you’ve probably got it just right.

Wear what makes you happy, regardless of what others say. Try on
everything, even if it’s not marked your size! And when all else fails,
wear a black mini dress and a blazer.

Take your inspiration from everywhere. I don’t let my plus size figure
stop me from deriving inspiration from our skinny counterparts!
Take that inspiration and make it your own! Also, don’t let negative
comments bring you down. Hold your head up high!

I don’t really have a “philosophy” per se, but don’t limit yourself! I
used to feel I had to dress to fit in, and didn’t let myself like things
I secretly did, because I thought I had to fit in with my (tunnel)
vision of how I should look. Now I just dress for myself, and I feel a
lot more body confident because of it.

Fashion is a walking art form to me. Everyday is a opportunity to
be innovative, step outside your box, and transform into who
you feel like being that day. I strongly believe in showcasing your
STYLE not your SIZE. So take risks with your clothes and if you love
something find the best way to wear it for you- And remember
your are not a label, a size, or a price tag.

I think that above all, we must feel good in what we wore and
have self-confidence. Its not important to be trendy, the most
important thing is to love what we wear and find our own
sense of style. I like color so I don’t hesitate to wear them in all
circumstances. I think it represents my character well. I know
what I can wear, I know what looks good on me and I have my
own style. Having self confidence and being yourself in clothes is
most important to me.

Like most girls, I like to dig into my mother’s closet. She dresses in
pearls and 50’s style A-line dresses, and is affectionately nicknamed
“Pink Lady.” I prefer to take a pink dress, throw on some black
tights and pair it with combat boots and gunmetal jewelry. We’re
complete opposites on the style spectrum, but she has given me
the best advice when it comes to style: “Dress for where you wish
you could be, not where you are going.” The term, “overdressing,”
is for those who dare not take risks. If you can’t have fun with
fashion, what can you have fun with?

Wear what makes you feel fancy, and if that means sticking your

I have come to realize that you can not please everybody when it
comes to what you wear and how you wear it. Especially for plus
size women, like ourselves. As long as you love your outfit, you look
great in your outfit and above all you FEEL great in your outfit, then
rise above the skeptics. If you can transform one skeptic into a
believer by the way you look and carry yourself, then you’ve done
your job.

I believe in having fun with fashion. Fashion is a way to express
yourself to the world. I like looking feminine and celebrating my
curves. I like lots of colour. I like things that are bold, quirkey and a
little bit odd. I would much rather veer towards batshit crazy then
veer towards boring.

I always believe that fashion should have a bit of humor involved.
I never take myself too seriously and therefore don’t take my
fashion too seriously either. Adding a dose of humor means that I
experiment to the extreme - wear things that no one else would
wear and wear them with confidence. I embrace my body and any
ugly dresses I find along the way.

Life is too short to not live up to your fashion potential! My
personal style is uniquely me and a bit rocker chic with some classic
details. My advice is to always give trends your own spin because
being well dressed in a look that enhances your personal style is the
best way to live a happy life in the body you were given. Never say
no to prints, bold colors, classic pieces or anything that scares you.
Your potential favorite outfit could be just one fitting room away!

For me comfort is key, looks is all great but if you are not
comfortable what’s the point?? Basics help a lot excessorize.
People like to ask oh where did you get that?? You fit their stuff??
Don’t look at what I do, my height saves me. In the words of my
sister, I am fun size.

Embrace prints and color. Be Bright, be bold, and be you. It’s hard
wearing bright colors and bold prints (especially on public transit
when you can’t hide behind the shelter of a car) but, no one wants
to look back when they’re older and wish they had lived their life to
the fullest. Fashion is about experimentation and there is nothing
wrong with that. If people make rude comments, ignore them. Your
clothes are an expression of who you are so, never let anybody make
you feel bad about who you are.

Always wear what you want even if other disagree. Getting
dressed is such a funny game, so what about just playing with
colours, seasons, fabrics and treat yourself like the most beautiful
woman on Earth? This is how I live with my clothes and we are very
happy together.

my style is pretty eclectic. Im from a caribbean background so I
incorporate a lot of bright colors and african inspired pieces to my
wardrobe. I never considered my size a deterrent from wearing
anything, I can wear hot shorts or mini skirts with the best of
them! I also love body hugging pieces to show off these dangerous
curves lol!!!

I like pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable in terms of
plus size fashion. The fun in fashion is in the experimentation. Every
morning, getting dressed is another chance to try out something
new and become someone different.
