I'm a Blogger Too!

                                                        Heyyyyyyyyyyyy Ladies!!!


I hope all is well with everyone very quickly I wanted to come by and show off a new look and to talk about my hobby as a blogger. I love blogging because it gives me an opportunity to vent through my words and my style of wear. I do a lot of shopping and love seeing what the latest trendsetter that's out. Fashion is my outlet and Blogging gives me the chance to shout it to the rough top about what I think, feel, and believe in. Most importantly, no one can tell me I am wrong or critique what I write because it all my own thoughts. Today, I was able to broadcast my craft and wear a very bold and bright shirt that explains how I feel about being a blogger in two forms; shirt and earrings!

A New Year and A New Vision

Hello Ladies and possible Gents!

Yes, I titled this blog with one of the most cliche phrases ever used around this time of the year. However, for me its true because of the goodness of the Lord. He has brought me a mighty lonnnnngggggg way....HA! I never thought in a million years that I would focus so much on fashion and an actual career in it this past year. For those who are not aware I attended college and received a BS in Criminal Justice with the hopes of working with the local police department. Even completed an internship with the police department. I have seen some crazy things doing police ride-a-longs. I just knew this was what I wanted for my life. Even decided to go back to school to earn my masters in Administration of Justice and Security. Right after I received my masters I started applying for careers in Criminal Justice. Can you believe I came close and failed the test. I felt then I was a loser and I started doubting myself. I mean every single position I applied for in Criminal Justice failed. FAILED!!!!!! I could not get in anywhere even with using family members who are currently and even retired in the same field as references; still did not help. I did not give up that easily; I accepted a job to get back on my feet working in a phone center. Yeah I know!!! It is pretty good money. I said I would work this until the position came through for me in the career path I just knew was mine to have. NOPE!!! Still no change. I have gotten so many rejections this year with trying to get in this field. This is when I realized me typing this blog every so often showing off my own looks was where I needed to focus on more. I am currently researching schools to gain certification in image consultantig and to gain more experience in the fashion industry with women and men. My dream is to become a wardrobe stylist/image consultant with most of my clientele being professional football players. I think that the young men who come into the league as rookies need assistance in branding their image starting with their first appearance on television and not when they are wearing their football uniform. There is already so much high expectations on these men to do well so why not ease the frustration by assisting them with their image. To God be the Glory this will happen! Enough of that lets talk about these NYE outfit. New Year is definitely a time to see glitz, glam, and glitter! I am here for all of it. I just added some velvet and fur to the mix. Whether you celebrate at church or in the club here are some ideas for you! Enjoy!

 I look forward to this new year I am utterly excited about making a great move into Fashion/Image Consulting for the NFL. Remember that true promotion comes from the Lord. We make our own career position. I think I was playing it safe when God is telling me we are going to take you further! Watch Him Work! To God be the Glory! xoxo

Most Recent Looks

Hey Ladies!!!

Yes, it has been a minute since I have blogged a look for Classy Confident Curves. Honestly, its been a lot of, "oh I am going to blog this look" and then I change my mind and then there is laziness that sets in  after I have completed an 8 hour mentally draining shift at work. What can I say life gets in the way lol! However, I have still been active on social media like Instagram and Facebook.

Abstract Patterns & Plaid and Boots: Classy Confident Curves Feature of the Day

Hey Ladies!!!

Hope all is well with you all! I wanted to stop by again this week to bring another feature. Very seldom am I able to do a double feature in a week. So I was happy to have another day to bring to you my version of plus size fashion. Today was all about abstract patterns. Abstract patterns are known not to depict a person, place, or thing. It is a composition of all types of colors and shapes that come together to make an amazing piece of clothing or art however you look at it. I use to see it just in the art form hanging on walls but, I am seeing it in my clothing and I am deeply in love with it. Just because its Fall doesn't mean I can't keep it bright. Details are below. Also this is a triple feature of another look introducing Plaid and Combat boots. Look below for details.

Top: Forever 21, Skirt (Similar) Forever 21, Shoes: GoJane, Necklace: Forever 21/Versona Accessories, Coat: Old Navy, Pants: Ross

The second feature introduces plaid paired with combat boots. Plaid has become a strong go to piece in fashion. Plaid can just about go with anything. I usually will pair mine with another print. Of course the combat boots just bring out the plaid even more in my opinion. I advised someone who was purchasing the plaid skirt to pair with a polka dotted or leopard print top!!! Yes ma'am you would be surprised how good mixed prints would look incorporating plaid or Tartan. Its whatever you want to call it. Lol! Hope enjoy the features Ladies!

UN-Bothered

Hey Ladies!!!

I hope everyone is doing well. Today's blog is featuring two pieces that I have become in love with. When I purchased these items I had no thought to wear them together. However, it turned out to be an awesome look might I add. Being the size I am and doing this blog thing along with the people I have met over social media I become UN-BOTHERED! Best believe its in a great way. I am UN-bothered by caring what anyone has to say about pretty much anything at this point. We all know people have an opinion about EVERYTHING. If they won't hold their tongue then why should I care if anyone likes me for me and how I roll. I'm just UN-bothered! I wear shiny clothing, crop tops, and body suits (which brings attention)...I'm UN-bothered! I wear 2 piece swimwear during the Summer...I'm UN-bothered! I show belly...I'm UN-bothered! I wear bight colors because I'm UN-bothered! I will wear bold prints why? I'm UN-bothered. Anything they say a plus size woman should not wear I will make sure its done...I stay UN-bothered! I will remain UN-bothered! Its a good feeling because you are not living up to anyone standard but your own. I hope those women who are still in their shells to come on out and just be UN-bothered because you can be careful all your life and still be talked about and pointed at! You know my motto! Flaunt your feathers honey! This is what Classy Confident Curves is all about! Now on to the feature.

I Need Love: Featuring Women with Classy Confident Curves

Hey Ladies!!!


When I'm alone in my room sometimes I stare at the wall
and in the back of my mind I hear my conscious call
Telling me I need a man who's as sweet as a dove
for the first time in my life, I see I need love.

And I've come to realize that I need true love
And if you wanna give it to me boy make yourself seen, I'll be waiting! I LOVE you

-LL. Cool J

I hope everyone is doing well! Today's outfit inspiration is brought to you by the word LOVE. Love is such a beautiful thing/feeling. Everyone deserves to be loved by another. As a woman, love is such an important part of our lives and we want the best there is out here. We know that true Love comes from when we first understand what Love is. God is Love and Love is God. When we acknowledge what love is then we can love ourselves to the fullest. Lastly, waiting for the man that God has for us to show us love...hmmm it feels good just to talk about it. So anyway lets talk about this outfit. I was feeling rather loved in this crop top sweatshirt and midi skirt.

One Jumpsuit: Three Ways

Hello Ladies!!!

I hope all is well with everyone. I wanted to try something different with my clothing this go round. I have seen this idea from the lovely Chastity Garner-Valentine wearing one piece and styling it three different ways. I purchased my second of all time jumpsuits from ASOS and let me tell you I am in LOVE! I have two lessons to teach in this blog. Lesson #1 is to never under estimate your own clothing. This is the main reason for the 3 in 1 styling of this hunter green jumpsuit. I was able to dress this jumpsuit for a party, date night, and church/work look. I shopped for this jumpsuit after looking at another beautiful fashion blogger on Instagram by the name of IG: name Curvaceouslybee she wore a beautiful chartreuse color jumpsuit also purchased from ASOS. So I thought I would give it a try and I love that I was able to dress this jumpsuit in a few different ways.

Jumpsuit: ASOS, Shoes: 1 JustFab 2 Target, Leather Jacket: Burlington Coat Factory, Peplum Top: Forever 21, Handbag: Kenneth Cole, Earrings: 1/2: Ashley Stewart and 3 Aldo, Belt: 1. Target 2. eBay.

Lesson #2 looking at me in this jumpsuit you would have thought this was actually my size. Can you guess what size I'm wearing? No, ok this jumpsuit is a size US 14! The lesson is to never under estimate your body and the size clothing you pick out. Research your materials and know what works for you. Just because its not your size does not necessarily mean it will not fit. Also know where you purchase your clothing from. Meaning ASOS sizes typically run bigger so you can usually go down a size or two or in my case three sizes down. YAY!! I hope this helps you pick out pieces that can be worn many ways and never limit what size you shop. Until next time Be Good, Be Fly and Shake a Tail Feather. xoxoxo

Remembering Classy Confident Curves

Hey Ladies!!!

Hope all is well! I wanted to reminisce a little about why I started blogging and how the name Classy Confident Curves arrived. I have always had a passion for the latest fashion; anything trendy and was new on the streets I was all for. I actually never realized how much I loved dressing up especially with accessories. Accessories was my thing. Big earrings; anything that would stand out in a crowd I was all for. With that came the clothing. I used to put outfits together for a few friends and then I was introduced to IG. Where I saw other women dressing their asses off and talking about it. When I saw other bloggers that is when I thought I would try blogging about plus size clothing as well. Let me tell you it has been a great journey in the year and few months I have been blogging. I have met so many other beautiful women over social media who share the same love for fashion. It has been rewarding and I love watching the increase in my audience both men and women who love what I bring to the plus size fashion round table. With that being said I wanted to share the table with some of  these beautiful women. I recently added the hashtag #classyconfidentcurves to my page so other women could show off their, well...Classy Confident Curves.

These are my looks this past Tuesday and Wednesday. On the first day of Fall it showed us what kind of Fall we can look forward to and let me just say I am ready for you Fall. I was feeling rather Polka Dotish both of these days. Tops: Ross and Wal-mart, Jeans: Forever 21, Shoes: Wal-Mart and Target, Gold Belt: Target, and Jewelry: Forever 21 and  Versona Accessories. Now introducing these wonderful women.

These beautiful women are the MOST and I love it! I love your styles ladies. Until next time Be Good, Be Fly and Shake a Tail Feather!!! xoxox

#1 Fall Favorite the Skater Skirt: Featuring Lola Shoetique

Hey Ladies!!!


I hope all is well! This is a quick blog post featuring a piece I wore last year. Since Fall is coming near I wanted to bring back the skater skirt. I just have to say I feel even more confident in wearing this skirt now than when I first purchased it. I don't know if its because I am in the gym now and so it looks and feel different on me or what but your girl is feeling herself a tad bit. I love how the skirt brings attention to my midsection and legs. Not to mention these lovely red lace-up heels I purchased from Lola Shoetique. These shoes are skater skirt APPROVED!! At the same the shoes brings focus to my thick legs and I LOVE IT! This is my second pair of heels from their site and I am just in love. The site has some very fashionable and colorful shoes with a reasonable price tag. I recommend when looking to purchase heels try Lola Shoetique first. Outfit details are below with links to click on for purchase.

Unexpected Blessings In My Size

Hello Ladies!!!

I hope all is well with all you who are reading. I wanted to talk about a HUGE opportunity I was given this past week that was so unexpected. After I celebrated my one year Bloggerversary with Classy Confident Curves I was contacted by the owner of Plus Size Fashionz who makes custom plus size clothing to model pieces from their clothing line. The fact that the clothing is custom made just for my body means  EVERYTHING to me. My measurements at this current time is 46, 42, and 57. Yes, I am a big girl and man o man do I love it. After looking at their website I fell in love with the prints, colors, and the women rocking these custom made styles. I was so excited to know I was chosen to take part in modeling for this boutique. I was sent my first dress and when I opened the package I automatically loved the color and when I saw the make I then automatically thought of the lovely Jill Scott on the cover of Essence magazine September 2014 edition.

I freaking love Jill Scott before and after!! She is currently my inspiration when it comes to getting my body in shape and wanting a more healthier me. I love how this dress hit every curve on her body and for me to receive a dress similar to the one she wore you all know I was too excited. So a special shout out to http://www.plussizefashionz.com/ for the opportunity to model this wonderful dress and the ones in the future to come.

My first celebrity dress alike! Yay! lol Loving this dress Shoes: JustFab and Earrings: Forever21

The dress is not yet on the website at  Plussizefashionz but there are others that I am sure you will love like I do as well. Hope you enjoyed the blog post. Also I may start blogging about my journey to a better me health wise. I am not trying to be skinny by far even if I tried I don't want that. Just wanting to be healthy and ready when the time comes for me to start my own family. I want to be ready for them. So in the meantime Be Good, Be Fly, and Shake a Tail Feather! xoxo
