“A man with a good coat upon his back meets with a better reception than he who has a bad one.” _Unknown

 

 

 

 

With it getting more chilly outside and coat is a needs.  I attend many events and I want to look stylish while out.  Who wants to hand a ugly coat to coat check?!  Not me, lol.  I mean a coat can make or break an look.  When I first saw the ELOQUII x Katie Sturino Tie Waist Robe Coat I know I had a winner.  Eloquii has some many fabulous coats that I’m in love with so I’ve created a coat wish list.

 

ELOQUII x Katie Sturino Tie Waist Robe Coat

 

Eloquii collaborated with Katie Sturino to create an exclusive ELOQUII x Katie Sturino capsule collection for fall inspired by her signature sporty, cool style.  The tailored fit tie waist robe coat can be worn now and ten years from now, opt for this super soft wool blend trench. With a tie belt that we’ve included for you to wear either open or cinched, versatility proves its power with this style.  If you love color this style of coat comes is a beauty navy plaid hue.  You can find it here.

We took a classic trench coat and updated it with some chic color blocking and strategically placed buttons to give it a military feel. The perfect layer for transitional weather, you can pair yours with just about anything in your closet and still maintain a put-together look with a structured silhouette.  The tailored fit front button-up closure comes with front hip pockets.

This last layer makes a huge first impression: perfectly placed pearls amp up the chic factor. Crafted from super soft heavyweight fabric that gives you all the warmth (without the bulk).  The tailored fit fully lined coat comes with front button-up closure and side pockets.  Pearls are so on trend and this coat is everything.

We took a style note from one of the greats and designed a classic coat worthy of Jackie O’s iconic taste. We updated it slightly with a new silhouette and modern details like cropped, puffed sleeves.  The coat comes with front button up closure and side seam pockets.  Did I mention it comes in two more colors?  Yes, oil yellow and ivy.

I Represent Confidence

Posted in FASHION & BEAUTY, FASHION & BEAUTYTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , 2 Comments

Liz Black asked Gabi Gregg; Style blogger and swimwear designer,  “How can someone who is struggling with self-confidence break out of that and embrace themselves as they are?”  Gabi responded “It’s important to know that the road to self-confidence doesn’t happen overnight; it’s a journey. My advice would be to follow people who have a similar body type to your own on social media, because representation is more important than we realize. The more often you see confident women with bodies that look like yours, the more you will grow to love your own.”

I agree with Gabi representation matters.  It can be hard to picture yourself doing or wearing something if you’ve never seen someone that looks like you ever doing it before.  It can be hard for plus size girls and young women to find beauty in themselves when they never see it.  Never seeing yourself in a position of confidence can leave a person feeling less than beautiful.

Before someone yells out it’s called self confidence.  Self confidence needs to be supported by others just like any other learned skill.  I was lucky to grow up within a family that always made me feel beautiful.  I’ve always been a fat girl.  However, my mom wasn’t plus size.  The first time I regularly saw a woman who looked like me in my home was on television.  It was Shirley Hemphill’s character Shirley Wilson from What’s Happening!!.  She was  short, brown, and round like me.  She was sassy and garnered respect for everyone around her.  Even though she was the butt of many fat jokes she was beautiful to me.

Now that I’m older, I fully appreciate the importance of being represented.  Within the plus size community you can find all different body types.  However, It can sometimes feel that the hour glass shape is the only shape that’s celebrated.  That’s not my shape and I’m ok with that.  I represent the short girls with a little extra in the middle.  Not everyone is going to comply with .70 waist-to-hip ratio to have  that socially acceptable curvy figure.  Like Gabi said follow a few people that represent you in images and know that if she can rock a style so can you.  You’re beauty isn’t limited to what society tells you what beauty is.

5 Random Facts About theFatGirlofFashion

Posted in LIFESTYLE, UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment
strapless-black-dress-rue-107-3

I started blogger because I wanted the world to know that Chicago had women that were plus size and fashionable. Overwhelming engagement thefatgirloffashion expanded to include lifestyle.   We discuss things like travel, food, and reviews. We all know my motto is “I’m happy with me.” If you’re happy with yourself than you will be more likely to live life on your own terms.  That’s why randomness is important.  With that being said here are 5 random facts about me.

 

 
Random fact number one is I’m going to Paris.  Paris, France is the plan for my 40th birthday.  I’m counting down the seconds!  I’m on the fence about how long to stay and what to do when I arrive.  Of course I’ll do all the regular tourist things but I want to see street culture off the beaten path. We’ll see.

 

 

m-a-c-cosmetics-x-taraji-p-henson-mactaraji-reviewed
Random fact two is I’ve grown into a real makeup junkie.  It use to take me about 3o mins to do my eyebrows.  I know along time but they were fleek.  Over time now I can do just as good of a job within a quarter of the time.  I use 3 products.  First brushing the hairs with an e.l.f. wand.  Then shaping with a Wet N Wild pencil and LA Girl concealer in color fawn & toast applied with an e.l.f. 1814 brush.

 

Random fact number 3 is that my favorite movie of all time is The Color Purple.  Followed up closely by Dream Girls.  When I first moved out on my own I didn’t have cable.  Only a VCR player.  Yes VCR, lol.  I would watch The Color Purple over and over.  The storyline was powerful and the acting was amazing.  My favorite line from the movie is captured in Miss Celie Voice.

“I’m poor, black, I might even be ugly, but dear God, I’m here. I’m here.”

 

Random fact 4.   I loooooove social media.  I adore being connected to people world wide.  Seeing things from the point of view others is how one grows.
We can connect everywhere.
Instagram: @thefatgirloffashion
Twitter: @FatGirl_Fashion
Facebook: /thefatgirloffashion
SnapChat: @FatGirl_Fashion
The last random fact is that if I could move today I would move to Los Angeles
NO MORE SNOW, lol.  I love Chicago.  If I could move Chicago to a warmer climate I would do it in a heartbeat.  New York would be idea for a blogger but the weather there is no better than Chicago.  Like I said before I love Chicago so they’re stuck with me.

I went to the UniverSoul Circus and I think I had more fun than the kids.  I’m so glad I went.  This was my first time going to the circus and I had a blast.  UniverSoul Circus is in Chicago Sept. 28-Oct. 30, 2016 and is sponsored by the  Black McDonald’s Operating Association of Chicago.  UniverSoul Circus is taking place in Washington Park (E. 51st Street and S. Cottage Grove, Chicago, IL 60615) and I’m here for it!

UniverSoul Circus was very interactive.  I felt like I was part of the show.  The big top was rocking with the music from all genres. The cast of international performers that had me on the edge of my seat.  There was so much happening that the only was to understand my excitement is to see the show yourself.  UniverSoul Circus’s approach to family friendly live entertainment was refreshing.

 

 

I can’t tell you which was my favorite act between comedy Dog Act from Chile, Aerial Duet from Colombia, Pagoda Bowl Acrobats from China, Airborne Motorcycles from California, Caribbean Dynasty from Trinidad and Tobago, Russian Bar from Cuba, Contortionists from Ethiopia or Magical Tigers I had so must fun.  UniverSoul Circus is fun for adults.  If you can go you should!

This song speaks to what I’ve done to make myself feel better when I trying to deal with whatever I’m trying to deal with.  Be it pouring myself into my work, shopping unnecessary, or taking a lover not to feel alone.

Top 5 Tracks from A seat at the table, Mad

This song makes me think about how some white people view black people.  They don’t understand why blacks are mad about things happening around us.  They don’t deal with the feeling of always living with their backs against the wall.  Living with the unfairness.  For example, the Black Lives Matter movement.  Yes, All lives do matter but let’s focus on the black one for now. 

Favorite Line: “I ran into this girl I said I’m tired of explaining.  Man this shit is draining.  But I’m not really allowed to be mad”

Black people have “fit in” to be accepted.  No, don’t be so Black, please.  Being a Black woman if I stand up for myself I’m seen as being a problem or a trouble maker.  I just want to be viewed as equal.  No better than and certainly not less than.  I don’t want to have to take my braids down in order to get the job.  

Favorite Line: “You know this hair is my shit, rode the ride, I gave it time/But this here is mine”
