STYLISH CURVES OF THE DAY: YOLANDA

I’ve always been hugely into fashion and shopping even though it can be a bit difficult at times being kinda pear shaped and short (5’2″) but if I have to, I’ll get certain items tailored to fit better. Currently I’m at the heaviest weight I’ve ever been in my life yet it seems that I’m embracing my curves more now than I was when I was smaller (even though I’ve been at least a pant size 12 since high school).

I think over the years I’ve just learned how to dress for my body type instead of trying to follow treads or wear what I saw others wearing. However, I’ve somewhat figured out how to kinda do both but making it fit me and my personality more. The fact that more stores and websites are carrying more fashionable plus sized clothing definitely makes it more easy as well. My favorite stores are Torrid and Forever 21. I love anything with prints and lots of color.

I love to accessorize and I think in combination with my many tattoo’s and constantly changing hair styles, it makes me more confident because it makes me stand out, more unique. That and the fact that I’m just more comfortable in my own skin, I’ve learned to truly love me!

A fashion tip I live by is, just because they make it in your size doesn’t mean it’s for you. Wear what works for your body and your personality instead of following trends because being unique is always trendy.

Thanks Yolanda for sending in your looks. I own two of the cute Faith21 dresses you’re wearing.
