Why Are You Single? And A Few Other Dumb Questions I’m Always Asked!

ASOS Blue Dress..“She putting on her make up.  She casually allure.  Text message break up, the casualty of tour.” _Kanye West (Devil in a New Dress)

.

.

Why I’m I single?  If I hear that damn question again I just might scream.  As I roll my eyes to the back of my head I can vaguely hear in a clown voice “You’re such a pretty girl you such be in a relationship.”  That normally followed up by so more bullish I don’t want to hear like I have a friend.  Because I was raised well I just smile and give a slight giggle.  However,  I really want to say “Why have you been with (insert man’s name) for years knowing he’s cheating on you?”  or “You’re so pretty you’d think your man would be faithful.”  Is that to shady?

The whole conversation makes me so sick.  Even more than the when are you having children question.  This question is offensive on so many levels.  With so many women struggling to have children to ask a question like that can be heartbreaking.  Even to assume every woman wants children is very old school thinking.

.

When I’m asked what I do often times my reply depends on who’s asking?  The question what’s a blogger is not a dumb question however the questions that follow my answer to that question are often are.  In what world is it on to ask ok to ask a person how much they get paid or do you get a lot of free stuff.  You won’t ask an accountant how much they’re paid.  How about a teacher?  As for “free stuff” that’s not the case for many bloggers.  They are some “bloggers” who only talk about things they’re paid to talk about.  However, many of us are providing our true opinions when the items are free or not.

Another blog question or maybe I should say statement is “Why do you call yourself fat?  You shouldn’t say yourself fat.”  I get that a lot when I tell people that my blog’s name is The Fat Girl of Fashion.  I don’t look at the word fat as an offensively.  For me, it’s just another adjective.  Just like petite, or beautiful.  I’m happy being fat and I don’t allow other’s issue make me feel any other way.

 

ASOS Blue Dress.

This is another statement but I felt the need to add it this fun post.  You don’t have children so you don’t have responsibilities.  This statement tickles me ever time.  As if bills only arrive at your doorstep when you start a family.  Stop telling people without children they don’t have responsibilities or limitation.  I have so many bills I won’t date a man named William.

This question came up at theCurvycon.  When someone says to a plus size person you have so much confidence.  When someone says that to me I would like to myself like what?!  As if my dress size should make me less confident.  If I was a size 6 my confidence wouldn’t even be in question.  I found it funny (not) that so many attendees have experienced the same issue.

Why do women who not wear makeup and or weave feel the need to tell me with a beat face and a long Nicki weave they don’t wear makeup and or weave.  Sis, I can see that.  Hell Ray Charles can see that.  Because I choose to wear makeup or a cranial prosthesis doesn’t make me any less a natural woman.  I love a good highlight so deal with it!

What are some of the dumb things people say to you?  What are some of the dumbest questions you get asked?  This is a safe space go ahead and vent,  lol.  Leave in the comments your own crazy question or share your response if any of mine are the same as yours.

Chrissy Metz, Danielle Brooks And I All Love Rubber Dresses


“I’m a Barbie girl, In a Barbie world.  Life in plastic, It’s fantastic.” 
_Aqua

.

.

My recent visit to New York for New York Fashion Week included attending theCurvycon.  I had the time of my life.  My favorite part of theCurvycon had to be the Keynote with Chrissy Metz.  If you’ve been living under a rock and don’t know who she is well here’s a quick run down.

Chrissy Metz is an actress best known for her role in the NBC show “This Is Us” were she plays Kate Pearson.  The “This Is Us” series follows siblings Kate, Kevin and Randall as their lives intertwine as adults.  Kate and Kevin were originally part of a triplet pregnancy.  Born six weeks early; their biological brother was stillborn.  Their parents, Jack and Rebecca, having expected to bring home three babies, decide to adopt another newborn: Randall, a black child born the same day and brought to the same hospital after his biological father abandoned him at a fire station.  The episodes weave through the stories of the past and present of the characters, taking place in 1980, 1989–1995, and the present day.  This moving drama has tugged at everyone’s heart strings and made Chrissy a household name.  Before taking over evening TV Chrissy had smaller roles on My Name Is Earl as Chunk, and American Horror Story: Freak Show as Barbara/Ima Wiggles.

Chrissy Metz made a splash at the MTV Movie & TV Awards in an oxblood latex dress with ruffled cap sleeves and a pleated skirt by janedoelatex.

.

While speaking at theCurvycon Chrissy Metz was asked about her different looks and of course the red latex dress she wore to the 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards came up.  The whole world had something to say about that Latex dress.  Chrissy Metz responds to critics of her sexy look by simply saying “The Kardashians do it; why can’t I?”  You can see Chrissy speaking in depth at theCurvycon on this look and how people responded to it here.

 

I agree with Chrissy.  If the Kardashians do it; why can’t I?!  I have been a huge fan of this sexy look latex/rubber look dress.  The latex dress idea isn’t new. However, modern day vixens like Kim Kardashian and Nicki Minaj had me wanting one so so bad.  If I did see them in plus sizes they would either be too costly and if they were affordable they looked like a Halloween costume.  That’s until now.  Club L via ASOS has given me all the sexy I wanted in a rubber dress at an pocket friendly price.

 

&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;<br />

I love how I felt in my dress.  I felt super sexy and confident.  I got the bright idea to wear my dress backwards.  The zipper gives the front a little more detail.  You can see Danielle Brooks of Orange Is The New Black was feeling herself also in this high shine bodycon Club L dress. Danielle is wearing the dress on as intended.

Plus Size Petite And Feeling Great! Cherry Blossom Jacquard Kimono

ASOS Kimono in Cherry Blossom Jacquard“When you have completed 95 percent of your journey, you are only halfway there.” _Japanese Proverb

.

.

My recent visit to New York for New York Fashion Week has taught me so much about myself.  Every time I leave Chicago I take with me all that I’ve learned from being born and raised in the city of big shoulders.  This world will chew you up and spit you out if you let it.  Are you good enough?  Are you pretty enough?  Are you thin enough?What are you wearing?  Are you on trend?  So many thoughts swirling in my head.  Self-doubt can creep in so fast.

ASOS Kimono in Cherry Blossom Jacquard ...

Your mind can play tricks on you.  Having you believing everyone is doing so much better than you.  And that you will never be good enough.  What’s a girl to do?  I personally stop and thank God for keeping me in my right mind.  Take a moment and speak to your God or higher power.  Connecting with something greater than myself helps me remember the world is much bigger than myself and what I’m going through.  I like to reflect on how far I’ve come.  Be grateful for the small blessing is a way I make it through each day.

ASOS Kimono in Cherry Blossom Jacquard ..

Am I good enough?  Yes!  Social media is nothing but a big Bow Wow Challenge.  That’s why I only compete with myself.  I am my only competition.  I don’t worry about the next person and what they’re doing.  Am I pretty enough?  Am I thin enough? Yes!  I don’t let the mainstream media tell me what’s beautiful.  I love my round face and brown skin.  I am gorgeous just the way I am.  I do work to improve but not to change.  There is a huge difference.

What are you wearing?  Are you on trend?  More often than not I’m wearing something from my favorite brand ASOS.  The site is updated daily so I’m always on trend.  They speak to my personal style.  So I don’t worry about what others are wearing because I’m comfortable in my ASOS style choices.  As you can see above with some of the kimono options above you have so many choices that you can freely create a look that speaks to your own personal style.

ASOS Kimono in Cherry Blossom Jacquard .......

The kimono I picked is from the straight sizes.  I’m wearing a size 14.  I am plus size yet petite in height so this over sized jacket worked great as a dress on me.  I opted not to wear a formal top but a Lane Bryant bra.  The jacket did open slightly at the bottom so I added a burgundy faux leather mini skirt in a patent finish (size 3X).  I got these Gucci glasses for a steal while doing some retail therapy.  The purple in them worked so well with the pink green and white of the kimono.  The shoes from Aldo come with velcro straps and are super comfortable and easy to get in and out of.  Cute pink lippie and earrings and this look is done and done.

 

If you’re looking for more style ideas.  Wear your kimono as a true jacket and add in a shirt and jeans.  However, if you choose to wear it just add touches that make your personal style shine through.

NIKEWOMEN’S PLUS SIZE FASHION EVENT | CHICAGO

Nike air society ..“Nike Air Society exists for you to ignite your creativity and fuel your ambition. Because what’s invisible can make you invincible.” _ Nike Air Society

.

.

I joined Nike Air Society at Nike Chicago located in the heart of downtown Chicago.  Nike Air Society had a plus size fashion talk and the first ever plus size fashion show featuring Nike’s latest plus size fashion looks.

The night was so much fun.  We all enjoyed light bites and drinks.  While waiting for the fashion show we learned about Nike Air innovation.  We also got bra fitting done by Nike experts.  It was nice to check out the new Nike Pro Bra collection.  As you can see in the pictures below there was a Nike Air Society photo booth.  There were even custom Air Society postcards.

Nike Air Society has some bomb “gifts with purchase.”  Some people got Air Society tote and towel.  You could have access to nail art and the Blowout Junkie braid bar.  Some girls got workout appointments at Orange Theory Fitness.  I dance the night away as DJ Megan worked the ones and two.

I’m happy that Nike has become even more inclusive.  It’s great when you can see girls that look like me in workout gear and looking fabulously while doing it.

Gwynnie Bee | Melissa McCarthy Seven7 Jean |Plus Size Review

Gwynnie Bee Melissa McCarthy Seven7 Jeans“Having peace, happiness and healthiness is my definition of beauty. And you can’t have any of that without sleep.” _Beyoncé

.

.

First, let me tell you a little about the Gwynnie Bee service before I get into my review of these Melissa McCarthy Seven7 jeans.  Gwynnie Bee is an online subscription-based clothing rental service.  They provide women’s clothing in sizes 10-32. Members pay a flat monthly subscription fee and are able to rent a large collection of clothing.  Now that you know the secret to my ever changing wardrobe on to the review.

 

Gwynnie Bee Melissa McCarthy Seven7 Jeans ..........

This is my first time trying on Melissa McCarthy Seven7 jean brand.  I didn’t have a personal guide to go on for the sizing of the jeans.  I did use the sizing guide provided by Gwynnie Bee on the website.  I was still was a little worried so I requested a size 18W and 20W in the same jeans.  The jeans are stretch pencil in the cape code wash with side zip pencil.  These medium wash stretch-cotton jeans have a fitted thought leg and a button-closure. The front rise is 12″, Back rise: 17″, Leg opening: 6″, Inseam: 28.5″ (from size 16W).  The jeans do not come with front pockets how they come with zipped back pockets.

Gwynnie Bee .

The jeans make-up are cotton / polyester / spandex.  The paneled seams and classic blue wash, this skinny stretch jean are the contemporary edgy look I love.  I paired the Melissa McCarthy Seven7 Jeans (18W) with this Rolling Stone tee (2X) and these fab shoes.  Now that I’ve fallen in love with these Melissa McCarthy Seven7 Jeans I glad I can purchase them right from Gwynnie Bee.

 

 

These jeans are soft and very comfortable.  The stretch in the jeans is great.  The stretch didn’t give or get loose throughout the day.  The cut made me feel very good about myself while wearing them.  I’m a fan.

 

Gwynnie Bee Melissa McCarthy Seven7 Jeans .........

This is a great look for a girls night or date night or even just hugging the block doing your hood girl Cardi B glow up. Oooooooooooooooow!!

Side note: Are you feeling my new hair style?

The Makossa Cookout |Miller Lite #KickbackSeries .........“When I said I wanted to go out and eat; I didn’t mean a cookout” thefatgirloffashion

.

.

The Makossa Cookout began in 2010 as an intimate affair in small Brooklyn, New York backyard. Since then, the party has enjoyed a rapid, organic growth, expanded to Los Angeles and is now a premier summer destination on both coasts. Makossa Cookouts features live DJs spinning a balanced mix of hip-hop, R&B, Latin, reggae, electronic, and dance music. It is their ability to traverse many genres that’s their trademark and biggest appeal. Drinks, games, and a food menu featuring the best of what summertime has to offer rounds out the experience.  Before I go any further, please be aware that this was not your garden variety day drinking party.

 

 

The Makossa Cookout |Miller Lite #KickbackSeries ......-

 

The Makossa Cookout brought their party to Chicago along with the good people of the Miller Lite.  We had a day that was full of good music, good food and good vibes at the Wise Owl.  The event was hosted by Dee Phunk.  There were 5 DJs!  Four of the DJs were from their Brooklyn and Los Angeles crews.  They also had Chicago’s own King Marie. They brought the Midwest vibe full circle with Detroit’s Waajeed as a special headliner.  Waajeed is a music producer, and one-half of the hip hop and R&B group Platinum Pied Pipers, and a founding member of Tiny Hearts.

Casual Friday With Macy’s |#MACYSPLUS #MACYSLOVE

My Favorite work day is Friday.  That’s only topped by payday Friday.  Friday for me is the open door for the weekend.  My co-worker and I often talk about what we have planned for the weekend.  Often times we both mention how we’re going to Macy’s.  The Macy’s in Chicago is not only an historical place to visit but a great place to shop. Macy’s carries many of the brands I love like Rachel Roy, Almost Famous, Jessica Simpson and Nike. Macy’s makes getting ready for casual Friday a breeze.

A normal Friday in my office is a cake walk.  Must of the higher ups “work from home” and I’m left alone for most of the day.  My co-worker Niecy and I set up the action plan for the day.  We then head out for our much deserved coffee.  Some days when we’re feeling especially hard working we split a lemon loaf.  After returning to the office we spend the rest of the day processing our paperwork and talking about shopping.

Niecy is a mother to a set of twin boys and loves to coupon.  She’s loves Macy’s because she says she saves so much using the Plenti Card.  Plenti is the rewards program you can join for free and earn points.  We often share with each other our receipts to hashtag humble brag about our savings.  Friday’s are simply the best!
