Today’s Bombshell is Amarachi from DC:
She writes, “I’m a fashion blogger/ accessories designer who just so happens to be plus size.”
” I believe in taking risks no matter what size you are.”
” Fashion has set a lot of rules for Big girls…”"
“… and I’m here to break them.”
“I would describe my style as all over the place.”
” One day I may dress grown and sexy…”
“…. the next day my outfit would be wild and fun.”
” I’m so happy I started my blog, I’m meeting so many other big beautiful women like myself that have this craving for fashion.. its unbelievable!”
I know how you feel! See more of Amarachi’s looks at www.AmarachiUkachu.com.

thats what i love about fasionbombdaily …. i stay looking at post saying “If she can do it I can to”
June 21, 2012 12:42 pm
I must say that I am somewhat impressed that a big girl can still be fashionable minus the shorts.Most larger women I know suffer from clothing that is either too tight or just not flattering. Stay away from shorts, they are not your friend girl.
June 21, 2012 12:45 pm
I loooooved everything except the shorts. Shorts are so tricky to wear. I want everything in that red maxi dress look. She did that one!
June 21, 2012 12:48 pm
Nice. I Loved her looks, minus the white shorts outfit because the fit was unflattering. Love the colors, accessories & how she changes her hair up.
June 21, 2012 12:51 pm
That suede fringe clutch is the business! Love the tied white shirt and maxi too– fresh take on a common trend.
June 21, 2012 12:53 pm
Cute.
June 21, 2012 12:55 pm
finally a plus size girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…….but unfortunately the shorts and that big fringe bag bigger than earth has me unimpressed. For plus size , shorts can be an option in some cases, but for you not so much. Like your style dont get me wrong. And your boldness is amazing……..but please no more shorts. If you wana do shorts, keep them at the knee!!!!
June 21, 2012 12:56 pm
Very well put together! She dresses very nice!
June 21, 2012 1:00 pm
I like everything except the shorts… Good Job Amarachi!
June 21, 2012 1:04 pm
Omg…I love it!!!!!!I went to your blog and Iove that as well..being a fellow plus size chic and a jewelry designer…I vote bombshell all the way around!!!!!
June 21, 2012 1:05 pm
I love her look!!! you did a great job putting everything together…as for the shorts you wear what makes you feel comfortable and beautiful you!! I can see the confidence shine through the pictures. Keep it up hun!!
June 21, 2012 1:08 pm
Yes she is very fashionable love it!
June 21, 2012 1:10 pm
Love your looks; The shorts…hmmm not so much. But other than that you represent the Big Bold and Beautiful very well
June 21, 2012 1:11 pm
So many nice pieces! I like her looks!
June 21, 2012 1:16 pm
Yup she get’s my vote..Keep doing u..I like the longer hair on her…
June 21, 2012 1:25 pm
OH AND I LIKE THE SHORTS..
June 21, 2012 1:29 pm
hawt!
June 21, 2012 1:30 pm
loved it, her colors are amazing too…
June 21, 2012 1:32 pm
Okay ma’am, I see you! Love it—->Bombshell!
June 21, 2012 1:33 pm
I truly love her style!! Fabulous!
June 21, 2012 1:35 pm
the best rule I ever learned about style…what you wear (hair, makeup, lingerie, shoes, clothes, etc.) should make you look amazing at the very least good…stay away from stuff that’s cute but makes you look a mess…accentuate your positives…
I’ll keep it cute and not comment on this young lady…I can see she has a positive light and is enjoying fashion…
June 21, 2012 1:36 pm
The last photo with the maxi skirt and the white top gave me chills….absolutely beautiful!!
June 21, 2012 1:44 pm
Yes she’s pretty and most definitely a Bombshell !
June 21, 2012 1:52 pm
I like the fact that she’s comfortable in her skin and is doing what she loves. Kudos!
June 21, 2012 1:54 pm
this young lady looks fantastic! the long red maxi, and the tie-dyed maxi and white shirt are my favorites.
June 21, 2012 2:01 pm
she looks better with her arms covered. and, those short shorts – black ones in particular – are just in absolute poor taste.
to me it seems like overweight women just want to wear everything just to prove a point. not everyone looks good in everything, slender women included. tight, tattered short shorts, esp. with cellulite-ridden thighs don’t look good on many people, including her.
June 21, 2012 2:06 pm
Fringe clutch bag is everything!!
June 21, 2012 2:08 pm
I like her daring. Sometimes not the most flattering but she is a bombshell. I think the shorts look pretty good on her ( and so do her legs). Maybe the white ones are a bit too short but it could also be the angle. There are plenty slim women with cellulite too.
June 21, 2012 2:11 pm
Ugh, I hate how critical women can be on one another! There’s a thin line between being “real/honest” and being NEGATIVE! Keep it positive or keep it moving! I think her overall style and presentation is great! Keep being yourself chica!
June 21, 2012 2:12 pm
I LOVED IT DEF A FASHION BOMBSHELL…
all ya’ll saying shes too big to wear shorts… STFU and go to hell.
But girlllll none of these houses look like they are in my city. You aint from DC… You from Marylandddddddddd. lol
June 21, 2012 2:19 pm
I love her style! Shorts are tricky and WE…(a plus size woman myself) have to be careful about the length we chose. The light blue shorts are GORG! No one should ever be “impressed” to say the least about the way anyone dresses or can “pull something off” just because of their size..things can look a mess on slender ppl as well…ijs :) To sum it up, job well done :)
June 21, 2012 2:30 pm
Thank you all for your wonderful comments!.. and for the not so great comments thank you as well :)
.. & I’m from Bowie,MD i forgot to submit my location.
June 21, 2012 2:33 pm
Me likey alot!!!
June 21, 2012 2:35 pm
I am from MArylannnnnndddd! I think she looks gorgeous! Bomb shell indeed! And that bag (fringe) to die for! Plus that statement piece neklace yessss GAWDDDDD!!
June 21, 2012 2:39 pm
You know I’m gonna rock the maxi and the white shirt right?
Fabulous all the way!
June 21, 2012 3:09 pm
A Bombshell Indeed !!!!!!!
June 21, 2012 3:17 pm
loved it!!!
June 21, 2012 3:37 pm
AMAZING!!!
June 21, 2012 3:37 pm
Ummmm no ma’am!
Where’s the style? She look alright but def not killing it (IMO) and she could stand to work out! You can be plus size and shapely!
June 21, 2012 3:55 pm
She is FLAWLESS and her style… whoa! I am loving this Fashion Bomb , Fashion has no size, no limit and no handbook! SHE JUST SERVED US SO HARD!!
June 21, 2012 3:59 pm
Please no more shorts unless maybe knee length. With that said. I LOVE the white shirt, long skirt and fringe bag look. WHERE did you get that skirt? I need it
June 21, 2012 4:04 pm
Amarachi..you are beautiful and gorgeous…..i wish i have 6 thumbs to give you 6 thumbs up. love ur blog already. boom BOMBSHELL
June 21, 2012 4:06 pm
I guess the tie die are pants not a skirt from your blog. love them
June 21, 2012 4:07 pm
She has style. She has an eye, and a damn good one too. Loving the looks. Off to checkout her blog!
June 21, 2012 4:19 pm
YO GO GIRL
June 21, 2012 4:20 pm
her shorts look GOOD … bump that U DID THAT Amarachi
June 21, 2012 4:24 pm
I like the red dress with the pretty accessories, and the outfit with the blue shorts.. The outfit with the cut off black shorts, no no no; those shorts are not flatttering.
June 21, 2012 4:24 pm
She has amazing style. Not a fan of the shorts at all. Not sure why saying that makes a person negative though. Yes, some fashion rules can be broken, but some of them are in place because it is best for all involved..
June 21, 2012 4:30 pm
She looks great in everything! Personally, I like the shorts and I know I’d wear them. Actually, I’d wear everything here with the exception of the earrings and that’s only b/c I wear studs almost exclusively :)
June 21, 2012 4:36 pm
I think she is bombshell..I am not liking the fit of the white shorts/blue shirt outfit…or the black shorts period but to me her legs themselves look fine in them. Get it gurl!
June 21, 2012 4:43 pm
I like!
June 21, 2012 4:51 pm
Just cause she is plus size, her style and fashion sense should not be labled as a “risk” she’s just merely expressing herself as a less than average size woman would. she is being herself which is fierce and confident. glad to see she is doing it like the rest of us. YOU ARE the bomb!!!
June 21, 2012 4:52 pm
Dont listen to anyone talk about ur shorts !!! I think u look great…we come in all shapes and sizes…whose right is it to say that they dont look right !! Screw them ! Ur looking good !!!
June 21, 2012 5:05 pm
again I just left and subscribe to your blog … I’m not a plus size gal but I love a plus size gal’s attitude ….. again YOU GO GIRL
June 21, 2012 5:10 pm
I like her!! Those white shorts not so much, but she is doing her thing!!
June 21, 2012 5:14 pm
Love the tie-dye skirt and button down combo. Relazed and pulled together
June 21, 2012 5:54 pm
Yasssss, b!tch, ya did. And well might I add. <3
June 21, 2012 6:56 pm
Fab, I love everything with the exception of the short, shorts, but everything else looked fly on her.
June 21, 2012 7:13 pm
They are bringing it in DC!
June 21, 2012 7:14 pm
tired of seeing fat women wearing shorts that do not do anything for their legs. so over the hypocrisy here.
June 21, 2012 7:18 pm
people cuddle plus size women on fashion bombshell. there is nothing wowing about what she is amazing. is she a bad dresser no, only when it comes to those ugly ill fitting clothes. you know what not everybody can wear everything and once black women realize this, it will be better for our women.
June 21, 2012 7:24 pm
Lovely!! I loved most of the looks! Good job!
June 21, 2012 7:31 pm
all i am going to say is that you need to wear shorts like that, you better put the work in the gym. Those shorts are definately male repelling.
June 21, 2012 7:36 pm
i loved most pics in dresses but those shorts hell no thats just wrong.
June 21, 2012 7:46 pm
I think you look great Amarachi!
June 21, 2012 9:17 pm
So fab!! You are rockin it.
June 21, 2012 9:19 pm
Whoo hoo! Up Nigerian girls! Haha love her style. She reminds me of Mo’nique’s style. :)
June 21, 2012 9:33 pm
Love the confidence and classy,sassy vibe!
June 21, 2012 10:03 pm
You look awesome Amarachi from DC!
June 21, 2012 11:03 pm
cute looks,my fav is the tie-dye piece…
June 21, 2012 11:37 pm
So want the short dress and that long maxi skirt..really lovely pieces!!!!
June 21, 2012 11:56 pm
LOVE!!!
June 22, 2012 12:04 am
I love your style. Not a big fan of the shorts but you’re a Bombshell to me. Your attitude shines thru…confidence!
June 22, 2012 12:25 am
I like everything ‘cept the shorts. I need that colorful wrap dress now!
June 22, 2012 12:41 am
In love with her style and confidence. And she is giving these skinny girls work! Love <3
June 22, 2012 3:20 am
She looks great and deserves extra credit since she is big, I’m not big but I know that they don’t make a lot of nice clothes for plus sized women. Kudos to you girl.
June 22, 2012 8:37 am
lol there is such fun in coming in on the tail end of these comments
June 22, 2012 9:43 am
yay to everything…except those damn shorts
June 22, 2012 11:35 am
crazy platform leopard print heels? eeeek! But her styling is so fresh and relaxed, me gusta!
June 22, 2012 12:09 pm
love the all white with that fringe bag!! and the maxi skirt…yes!!
June 22, 2012 12:58 pm
if she would leave those shorts alone she could get 5 stars in my book.
I love her accessories and the way she puts things together, she’s dope !
June 22, 2012 1:46 pm
Where can i get that letter skirt and that wild print dress????
June 22, 2012 1:46 pm
oops leather
June 22, 2012 3:57 pm
She looks great minus the shorts pics! Very nice style and fashion sense.
I think size doesn’t determine whether you should wear shorts, but cellulite most certainly does!! Some girls have big smooth thighs others of us aren’t so lucky
June 22, 2012 4:19 pm
She needs to let the shorts go
June 22, 2012 4:47 pm
Shorts is a big no no…esp with cellulite
June 22, 2012 4:54 pm
Very cute… I have critiques but they’re so unimportant because overall, I loved your look and confidence. Forever21 has a pair of studded black cutoffs that I think you’d rock fiercely. I’d love to rock shorts but it’s not because I’m ashamed of my legs… my thighs just rub together too much when I walk! Even when I’m at my slimmest! Anyways, I like the black shorts on you because they’re a bit looser.. the white ones are a bit tight (and that’s a fit issue for any size.) Sometimes your bun is lopsided but it’s cute lol.
June 22, 2012 10:44 pm
I love the outfit with the black shorts.i think it’s just the way your standing with the white shorts that makes them look unflattering
June 24, 2012 10:48 am
Love her style! She dresses really well and very conscious of her shape. She is eclectic and has amazing pieces.

June 24, 2012 10:09 pm
She is the TRUE definition of a fashion bombshell to me. nevermind the fact that she is plus size, that fact that she is confident and comfortable in her own skin is whats important. she clearly isn’t afraid to take fashion risks despite what stigmas people put on plus sized women and fashion! you go girl!
June 25, 2012 12:56 pm
As far as her shorts go, it all comes down to FIT. I liked the black ones but the white shorts reminding me of something my mom always said…Shorts Don’t Care Who Wear Them. Other than that, I think she’s absolutely FAB. She’s killing it!!!
June 27, 2012 4:18 pm
GIVE ME THAT FRINGED CLUTCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 1, 2012 10:07 pm
girl yesss..WERKK
