One Dress, Three Ways: ASHLEY STEWART X KENDALL + KYLIE | CHEETAH DRESS
In this blog post, I’m sharing how to style the Ashley Stewart X Kendall + Kylie cheetah dress. Keep reading to see how I created 3 effortless looks with one dress.
“Ashley Stewart is going to win on kindness and math. Our strength is fellowship and self-esteem.” _James Rhee, CEO of Ashley Stewart
.
Can you really wear one dress three ways and make them all Instagramable? Yes, you can! We should be wearing our clothes in many ways. When we make a purchase we should look at every garment as a staple piece with staying power. Something we can rock anywhere. Our looks should take us from work to the party that can’t be missed.
Who doesn’t want to get more mileage out of their favorite dress? Being open to creative ways to style them from pencil time to prosecco time is the will make sure we get the most bang for our buck!
If you think it can’t be done while here’s proof.

For Work
Let’s keep it real. Dressing for work can be the least fashionable thing many of us do daily. So when approached with an option to ditch that basic black dress for a fresh and feminine look who would say no?
Using the Ashley Stewart X Kendall + Kylie cheetah dress as my foundation piece I added some simple accessories to make the look werk for work, lol. This professional yet edgy look works best for the holiday season because of the metallic gold-tone cheetah pattern throughout. You can create this work ready look with an open front cardigan, a simple belt , dark tights along with matching loafers to insure a comfortable look for a long day in the office

For The Holiday Party
With the arrival of the holiday season, we’ll likely have 703 invites to attend everyone’s must-attend get-together. The Ashley Stewart X Kendall + Kylie cheetah dress is a great way to steal all the attention when you enter the room.
I know when I hit the scene I want a look that Samantha Jones would approve of. As a petite girl, I can attest that the dress’s short girl-friendly. With an elasticized waistband the dress is a stellar choice for someone looking to play it safe or push the edge with the dress length. I spiced up the look with skin-tone pantyhose, some bomb gloves, a super cute clutch, and open-toe mules. Adding a red lippie guarantees to get you a double-take.

For Weekends With Girls
Is it even the weekend without brunch with the girls? Hmmmmm nope! For starters, you know you can’t show up to the all-girl meet up looking regular. I’m not saying it a competition but there’s only one Beyoncé in every group and that’s you, lol. The Ashley Stewart X Kendall + Kylie cheetah dress is perfect for sipping on bottomless mimosas with it’s tiered ruffled hem and easy-breezy silhouette.
Take your brunch looks to the next level with a fabulous fedora, faux leather moto jacket, high-waist leggings, and booties. Add some sunglasses, a tote bag, and a hey girl hey!
I received the Ashley Stewart X Kendall + Kylie cheetah dress compliments of ashleystewart, however; All opinions are my own.
It’s one thing to have good style, but it’s another to have the kind that makes other women look at you in admiration and go, “I just love your outfit!” Not saying we go out looking for compliments, however, who doesn’t want them. A simple style trick or two and an open mind will transform any look. As you can see it doesn’t take much to take one dress from desk to drinks in no time!

Tips For Plus Size Online Dating
Have you ever thought about online dating? I’m going to dip my toe into the dating pool again. I’ve been so focused on my blog and working 9-5pm dating has been the last thing on my mind. I created this blog post on Tips For Plus Size Online Dating as a refresher for myself and a push for another looking to join me. Maybe I could start us new daters a Facebook group?
Below are 10 tips for plus size dating. By the time you read this, I’ll have my profile up. Wish me luck!
- Don’t waste time on the wrong online dating app. Some apps have a hook-up only reputation. If that’s not what you’re looking for I would stay away from those apps. We’re all adults here you know what apps I’m talking about.
- A picture is worth a 1,000 word. Use clear photos. Don’t fill up your online dating profile with tons of pictures. It’s not Instagram. I selected 5 pics max. Face shot, sitting shot, 3 full body shots. Rect pictures in different outfits are best. Make sure no one else is in the photos.
All photos taken by DeeXDee. Styling by TFGOF, - Select an appropriate username. Remember you get from the world what you put out into the world. If you don’t want a ton of spam messages about sex I would stay away from usernames like bigtittykitty or lilmzonlinesexy.
- Be honest in your bio. Be honest from the beginning! Lying about your age, what you do, or that you’re not really single is a no-no. I wouldn’t put all my business out there but being untruthful is never the way.
- Know what you want and don’t lower your standards. We can’t just go for the first notification that comes our way. With that said being said be realistic with what you want. I don’t think Idris Elba will be sliding in my DMs. But a can dream right!
- Be prepared to have something to say. At this point, you have a choice to make. How long do you plan on messaging before a meeting? Are you here for a date or catfishing online messaging romance.
- Don’t share your other social media info. You don’t want random people visiting your Facebook or Instagram without your knowledge. It’s also a safety issue. You’re a big fine woman who doesn’t need a stalker.
- Remember this should suppose to be fun. Don’t get obsessed with one person. Sis we’re not going to be waiting by the computer.
- This shouldn’t have to be said but I feel I must. Don’t send money! While you’re looking for love some are looking for a victim.
- Lastly, don’t let what others have to say get you down. There are internet trolls everywhere. Remember you have all the power and it’s called the delete button!
I received the featured look compliments of the ASOS, however; All opinions are my own.
Hope this post offers some encouragement for those looking for love online. I’ll report back in a month with my results. Maybe a post of preparing for an online date. Have you ever online dated? Leave me some of your tips in the comments…..
