Check out today’s Bombshell! The lucky lady is Brittany from Nashville, Tennessee:
She types, “ I am the founder and writer of the plus size fashion blog, PocketsandBows.blogspot.com.”
“I would definitely consider myself a fashion enthusiast, therefore my style is always evolving, but the one thing that I always stay true to is being classy.”
“[As] a plus size blogger, I feel that it is my duty to show the world that size does not dictate style.”
“ I know society likes to put us in a box of empire waist garments and straight leg pants…”
“… but I will not be confined by what society deems as acceptable for MY body.”
“… I am known for pushing the envelope when it comes to my style as far as what is expected and though sometimes I may get a little flack, I wear what I love and what makes me feel good.”
” As my motto reads on my fashion blog: ‘I love to be told what not to wear, because I will break all the rules.’”
“It would really be an honor to be featured as a Fashion Bombshell and I hope that I can inspire just one plus size woman out there to think outside of the box.”
” Live and Dress free ladies :)”
I love it! I loved all your cinched waist outfits, particularly the black dress with the statement belt. You’re working it, and you’re gorgeous.

Stunning Girl- love it- the only outfit I didn’t care for (didn’t care for the fit) was the yellow/white striped top tucked in with the black pants-
I’m loving that polka-dot number and your hair is beautiful!
October 16, 2012 12:39 pm
Fab! I love the pleated skirt with the split and the citron dress.
October 16, 2012 12:40 pm
She got it!
October 16, 2012 12:44 pm
Love this black/white/animal print ensemble!!! She’s totally confident in her skin!!
October 16, 2012 12:44 pm
I loved all the outfits…just the your pouch was really bothering me…..undergarments are our best friends love…..but other than that i loved every outfit….and your hair…..
October 16, 2012 12:45 pm
Love her style. Her hair is also on point. I especially like her outfit when she has bangs-black and white top cinched with a belt with the black pants-fierce!
October 16, 2012 12:50 pm
First of all let me say, Brittany is a BOMBSHELL. I actually came across her blog a few months ago, and I was really impressed. I feel as though sometimes plus size bombshells or bloggers get the “she dresses good” pass because they dress better than most plus size women, HOWEVER, in Brittany’s case I don’t feel that the whole “she dresses good for a big girl applies” – I think she simply just dresses good and has style for days.
I know the ladies on here who feel as though the plus size submissions always get a pass because they’re plus size are going to have something to say – “her clothes are tight”, “her clothes are ill-fitting” blah blah blah. If you take her outfits and you just simply look at her style you KNOW she’s fly (ADMIT IT) and I truly hope this doesn’t turn into a nasty debate about size and sh**.
Love your style Brittany!
October 16, 2012 12:53 pm
A true representation of what style, class, and elegance should look like. You put together the outfits very well and the colors chosen have truly complimented the color of your skin. Very gorgeous girl…….
October 16, 2012 12:54 pm
If I saw her walking down the street I’d say she knows how to dress for her shape and is very cute but I wouldn’t say “Omg I need everything she has on”. That’s all I got!
October 16, 2012 12:56 pm
Some of the fits are off but I see where she was going….
October 16, 2012 12:56 pm
Yes..a true Bombschell!! Stylish without being over the top! Work Brittany!
October 16, 2012 1:01 pm
Lovely, just lovely! Absolute bombshell!
October 16, 2012 1:03 pm
BEAUTIFUL girl! Love the polka dot look. Very sophisticated chic, not overdone. This is MY type of style. Love it
October 16, 2012 1:03 pm
OMG!!! I LOVE HER STYLE! Def checking out her blog. By far one of the best I’ve seen!
October 16, 2012 1:05 pm
My fave plus size blogger!!! A lot of times I am underwhelmed by fashion choices in the plus size blogger world but Brittany inspires me every time she posts. She is not afraid of prints or color, and she definitely keeps it CLASSY!!! ♥ u girlie!!!!
October 16, 2012 1:09 pm
Her style is so cute, but she needs to go UP a size on all looks. People would look at the fashion more and not the tummy (Photoshop is very noticeable). If her clothes didn’t cling to her it would be a lot less distracting -very good taste.
October 16, 2012 1:18 pm
She looks beautiful and has great style
She should definitely work on her health as well. Being overweight is unhealthy and is a killer for black women. Brittany, I love your style and concentrate in your health and losing fat. Fat is a killer, associated with heart disease and cancer. We want that fabulous style around for a very long time!
October 16, 2012 1:19 pm
I love her style , I love her blog and she always post nice pictures on instagram. She gets it right all the time for me
October 16, 2012 1:19 pm
Yasssss. Werk! Loves it.
October 16, 2012 1:19 pm
beautiful
October 16, 2012 1:22 pm
Pretty girl and the belted dress was nice but then comes the spandex and horrible photoshop. I like the fact you look comfortable in your body but these looks could have been much better if not for the ill fit. I thinks it’s important to know what looks good on your body type but certain pieces are not designed for all bodies.
October 16, 2012 1:26 pm
she is gorgeous, definitely a bombshell, love the beige pleated skirt.
October 16, 2012 1:29 pm
I like her style!
October 16, 2012 1:30 pm
Very cute style. She knows what works for her body. I wish more women understood that. I would order a couple piece she rocks. Saw a picture of her on IG last week.
October 16, 2012 1:32 pm
I love it! She has great style, I’m going to check her blog now. Keep up the great work beautiful x
October 16, 2012 1:32 pm
Beautiful
October 16, 2012 1:32 pm
Yes, she’s a bombshell!!
October 16, 2012 1:34 pm
This has to be the best “plus sized” bomber. She’s very pretty and well put together, her shoe game is on point.
October 16, 2012 1:36 pm
I love everything!!! Work honeee!!!
October 16, 2012 1:37 pm
I think you are just gorgeous. I totally agree that size does not dictate style. I love the fact that you don’t run from colour. Only thing is, I found a few of your pieces very ill fitting, accentuating a few ‘problem’ areas..
I really like the pleated black dress.
October 16, 2012 1:39 pm
BRITTANY…IS DAZ BOMB….first i want to raid her closet and steal the shoes…second the hair is on POINT. third, the confidence!!!! off the roof.
October 16, 2012 1:39 pm
I stumbled upon PocketsandBows a while back. Love her style and confidence. SO NICE TO FINALLY SEE A PLUS SIZED BOMBSHELL!
October 16, 2012 1:40 pm
Love her blog. She is the reason I wanted the AA disco pants.
October 16, 2012 1:41 pm
Yes (:
Not just because she’s from the hometown, but because she’s FLY.
I’d suggest a shaper—not to hide her curves, but to streamline them. Aside from that though, she’s on. (Wipe her down!)
October 16, 2012 1:44 pm
Yup she’s right on….keep it up..
October 16, 2012 1:45 pm
Love her blog and her style. She has a lot of confidence and I love that about her.

Brittany brings life into EVERY outfit! She wears what SHE likes and makes it look damn good, and it shows! Classy with a pinch of edge!
Her hair is always on point as well as her shoe game! Her style might not be for everyone, but her inspiration is!
The girl can dress her ass of and I give credit where credit is due! And she is SERVING us with that leg action in the pleated skirt! Do your thang boo!!!
October 16, 2012 1:48 pm
SO PROUD OF HER! beautiful girl inside & out. Her confidence can inspire the world. Go Britt! I wanna be next.
October 16, 2012 1:48 pm
So, I went on her blog….every outfit this girl is KILL’IN ITTTTTTTTT
I love the use of color, you make sure to have the head to toe look DOWN. ***clap clap*** for you hunny.
October 16, 2012 1:56 pm
She’s a very attractive woman and she has great style but those disco pants are not flattering.
October 16, 2012 2:08 pm
YAYYYYY Brittany… I found out about Brittany from her blog and I have stalked it ever since… She is a prime example that it doesn’t matter what size you are but style is style… I have gotten soo much inspiration from her and I am soo glad she is being featured!!!
Congrats Brittany!
October 16, 2012 2:09 pm
I follow Brittany’s blog and for anyone who is saying her pictures are photoshopped or that her health is poor, please check out her blog and see her weight loss journey before you make comments like that. Regardless of her size, her hair, makeup and style is fab but more importantly, her self-confidence is awesome! Stay stylish sistah!!
October 16, 2012 2:10 pm
pretty girl, fan on the blog.
October 16, 2012 2:18 pm
She is so beautiful. I love that she submitted so many looks. My only criticism is that the disco pants are not flattering on her, but it may have been the camera angle. Nonetheless, I voted Bombshell!
October 16, 2012 2:22 pm
Yes lawwwd! That hair is laid to the gods of remi and her clothes are really fresh and cute. Not a fan of those american apparrel-esque shiny high waisted numbers though. But I pretty much hate them on everyone.
October 16, 2012 2:30 pm
Awesome Bombshell!
October 16, 2012 2:32 pm
You people are hilarious…this girl is a bombshell. All the comments regarding her weight and “clingy” clothes are irrelevant. I foudn her blog for a while back, however, I hadnt checked it out in recent months…but I almost didnt recognize her. She has lost so much weight and looks great ( I thought she dressed her body well at any size) which is a clear indication that she is concerned about her health…just because someone is not “stick” thin does not mean they are unhealthy…now, back to her FASHION post, since this is what her submission was about fashion, if she wanted to submit to a health care blog, i am sure she would have. She is such a beautiful girl. Love her style and her fashion sense…her clothes fit her well and her shoes are dope. Godspeed Britney!
October 16, 2012 2:33 pm
I think most women have problem areas regardless of your size you shouldn’t wear certain styles to accentuate them to prove a point to “society”. With that said the pieces that do fit her well compliment her beauty & don’t detract with should be any bombshell’s goal.
October 16, 2012 2:36 pm
I follow and LOVE her blog!!! Her weight loss has been short of AMAZING and she has KILLA style. And she’s from my ol’ stomping ground. Get it girl!!!
October 16, 2012 2:47 pm
She is my new SHero. As a woman whom is on the edge of “plus size” I have been needing to find a way to dress my new body after giving birth. She has great confidence and I can learn a lot from her.
October 16, 2012 2:48 pm
American Apparel are not made for big girls I dont care if they offer XL. im just sayin. Otherwise everything is on point.
October 16, 2012 2:53 pm
@Camilla
Personally, size has nothing to do with ill fitting close. She has style, for sure. Her confidence is beautiful and she rocks her style BUT there is no reason clothes should be ill fitting, regardless of your style. Not just larger women have this issue, there are plenty of smaller women who do the same thing.
I’m not trying to take anything away from this sister bomb statues but there have been plenty of plus size bombers that know how to compliment their figure. Check this one out, my girl has style AND her fit in on point! http://girlwithcurves.com/
October 16, 2012 2:56 pm
Hasn’t she been featured before? It looks like she’s lost weight. Her shoes are always on point.
October 16, 2012 2:57 pm
First of all, she is stunning! We have similar hair and I’m dying to know what products she uses. I love the look with the long pleated skirt and also the black skater dress.
I cannot get on board with the shiny/sparkly leggings
October 16, 2012 2:58 pm
WAS ON HER BLOG AND WOW SHE HAS LOST A LOT OF WEIGHT…GO GIRL!
October 16, 2012 2:59 pm
Absolutely fabulous, you are gorgeous and your hair is LAIDDDDDDDD. But those shiny black pants have to go, not flattering at all!
October 16, 2012 3:02 pm
I loove her!! Honee is workin that pouch!! What’s her instagram?
October 16, 2012 3:06 pm
…ADDING BLOG NOW! YUP!
October 16, 2012 3:08 pm
Impressed!!!!
October 16, 2012 3:11 pm
It’s funny how so many of these negative commenters focus solely on weight and completely ignore the outfits! Please hush up about “ill fitting clothes” you are so fixated on letting someone know about their size that you have completely missed the fact that Brittany has great style, she is classy and always leaves me in awe with her amazing style.
I am a subbie of her blog and a proud one. Being a Fashion Bomb is about style not about your negative and some what jaded views about plus size women, grow up and live life! Brittany you and your blog give me LIFE!
October 16, 2012 3:13 pm
Gorgeous!
October 16, 2012 3:13 pm
Bombshell, Bombshell, Bombshell!!
October 16, 2012 3:17 pm
Very pretty girl.. love everything about her style she FLY without even trying!!!!! DO IT B!!!!!!
October 16, 2012 3:25 pm
It’s funny, no one said anything rude, most gave her praise (and rightfully so). So what if they pointed out a few articles are ill fitting…why are we now sensitive about something as simple as an opinion. lol One wouldn’t hesitate if she was not plus size.
Just because she is a plus size bomber doesn’t mean we can’t be honest. I think it’s more insulting not to be.
But that’s just my humble opinion. I don’t think anyone is focusing ‘solely’ on size…who truly has the issue?
October 16, 2012 3:30 pm
Somebody has lost some weight baby looking good!!! I really like her blog and her outfits are cute, typical blogger look. Get em Britt-Britt!
October 16, 2012 3:32 pm
Brittany!! Yay Youre a bomber! and rightly so my dear. I LOVE pockets and bows!
October 16, 2012 3:34 pm
I totally agree with Soul Touch, we as readers are entitled to our opinion, this young lady should not get a medal because she’s fat and had the guts to post here pics on the web. This site is about fashion not about making an attempt to boost someones self esteem. I believe the consensus is she is an attractive woman but lets face it she needs to lose a few pounds. As a result of those excess pounds, the clothes are ill fitting which in turn does not classify her as a fashion bombshell. If the site was called makeup bombshell or hair weave bombshell then I would have to give her 5 stars, but that’s not the case. please people don’t try to censor. Again we are entitled!
October 16, 2012 3:49 pm
The issue is her clothes are ill-fitting which means she needs a different size, not a different body. After all, it’s not called “body” bombshell either.
She’s absolutely beautiful, but clothes that don’t fit well are my pet peeve.
October 16, 2012 3:51 pm
I’ve always said to myself that Brittany should be featured as a bombshell and I’m glad that she finally submitted her pictures. She’s got great styles, and is really ontop of the trends. I love her use of color and how fearless she is. That and she and I have similar tastes in shoes! Love that girl!!
October 16, 2012 3:57 pm
She LIVES! I love every single piece. She definitely has style and I don’t know what the other women look like in Tenn but you are definitely repping. Bookmarking your blog as we speak! Where can I get that pleated skirt?????? :)
October 16, 2012 4:01 pm
Love it! I’ll definitely be bookmarking her blog.
October 16, 2012 4:03 pm
She’s SO pretty!
October 16, 2012 4:03 pm
@Kat the issue is not JUST ill fitting clothes, simply because it’s made in your size does not mean you should wear it. I’m 5’7″ 125 lbs which means I’m not overweight but I too don’t look good in spandex disco pants. There are tons of plus size bloggers ex: girl with curves that dress better than most of us skinny chics so the bottom line is wear clothes that compliment your body, what ever shape and size you are. The truth still stands, being overweight is unhealthy and if you want to live a healthy life you have to pay attention to your body. So again for you, this is fashion bombshell so based solely on how the fashion is displayed on her body I have to give a thumbs down.
October 16, 2012 4:23 pm
Alexia STFU she lost a rack of weight and looks like she is still losing! Ya’ll women kill me on here, she looks great, she has more style then some of the more recent bombshells in my opinion! Girl hair and make up is snatched to high heavens! So if your big u can’t be fashion? I commend you on your weightloss and confidence. The rest of u haters; it’s rush hour go play in traffic!
October 16, 2012 4:24 pm
LOVE Brittany…she is fab and gorgeous!!!
October 16, 2012 4:28 pm
Plus size or not, Brittany is a BOMBSHELL! Period. LOVE LOVE LOVE her blog!
October 16, 2012 4:31 pm
I love it- she’s FLYY!
October 16, 2012 4:32 pm
Prett lady. Like the stripped dress and the bangs. Never been a fan of disco pants in any size.
October 16, 2012 4:34 pm
You guys should really check her blog. This young woman has lost A LOT of weight. For those of you focused on her undergarments and giving weight loss suggestions, you should be ashamed of yourselves. It takes tremendous focus to lose weight. It is very apparent from her blog (if you took the time to read it) that she is very comfortable in her skin.
It would have taken only a few seconds from your day to congratulate, instead of putting her down. Submit pics of yourself since you are so healthy, OR at least READ the darn links. I’d never heard of her, but this girl is a Bombshell for sure!
October 16, 2012 4:37 pm
Alexia please go play in traffic please and thank u, u 5’7 and 125 go eat a sandwhich! U stay saying some dumb s%it on here! This girl has lost alot of weight and is still losing she gets claps from me! She’s gorge and hair and make up is snatched. See ladies Eating carbs does not ruin u¿ Black is beautiful at any size!
October 16, 2012 4:40 pm
She’s definitely a bombshell!!! One of my favorite bloggers!! She’s very inspiring and always keeps it classy! Impeccable style!!!!!!
October 16, 2012 4:59 pm
Pretty girl that knows how to dress for her body type && has a good sense of fashion. Thumbs up.
October 16, 2012 5:01 pm
YAHHH! She’s from TENNESSEE! Nashville at that! This hits home as I too am a Nashville resident! You better REPRESENT! Show them we’re not all country bucolic messes! MWAH!
October 16, 2012 5:07 pm
Looks good. Like her style.
October 16, 2012 5:09 pm
Wow these haters are something. Instead of giving this diva her props that rather embrace her with rude comments. But at the end of the day they wish they could the fashion bombshell of the day. The only way they could make it to this website is to comment. Kick rocks you lames and enjoy being nobodies.
October 16, 2012 5:17 pm
OK she slayed. Fashion is vast! it has no boundaries or weight restrictions, so stop trying to place limits on folks creativity. She killed it end of story. Big or small she knows what works clearly.
October 16, 2012 5:18 pm
LMAO @Itsallgood WELL SAID!
October 16, 2012 5:50 pm
Fashion is about fit too! How many times on project runway has a designer gotten bad remarks about the fit of an item.. How many times have people on this site commented about the fit of a kim k outfit? I love all her looks except the disco pants and the leather pants also fit a bit weird but the peplum hides most of it (still love that outfit though). She’s definitely a bombshell but if the fit is off, the fit is off!
October 16, 2012 5:54 pm
Beautiful girl, like a lot of the pieces featured. Hair is fly too. My only nitpick is that fit is really really really important and can make or break any look that you’re going for. That goes for any of us at any size. That’s part of why a couple of these outfits don’t do it for me. But I voted Bombshell because that’s what I got overall.
October 16, 2012 5:54 pm
Wow ladies chill…….The sista gets props for embracing her stack but keeping it 100 Alexia is on point like hell. LMAO
October 16, 2012 6:08 pm
Such a pretty girl with some great pieces. Her hair and makeup was on point but I can’t give her Bombshell because the fit of her clothes is off. Even on her blog the fit is bad and she doesn’t buy clothes that fit her body type.
October 16, 2012 6:13 pm
i voted bomb! the looks aren’t anything exceptional but they compliment her so well and it she looks stylish, well put together and it looks effortless for her.
i will say there is a fit issue with some of the pieces but that’s nothing that some tailoring/going up a size can’t fix, she’d still look bomb.
i’ve looked through her blog and to see her earlier pictures and look at the current ones, wow!!! congratulations, girl!! you are putting work and it shows! i’m proud of you!
October 16, 2012 6:17 pm
work it
October 16, 2012 6:20 pm
girl you are so pretty and i agree that you are on point in most cases. Moving forward i think you should seriouly think of fit and the choices of fabric you choose case in point the lime dress. the color is so preety but the dress itself in screaming and pointing at your flaws and that takes away from the fashion. Nothing wrong with experimenting no your body , as much as we want to wear everything out there the reality is we cant. however you are in the right direction. Congrats for the weightloss, to be a true fashionista your body gonna be on point as well.Congrats again for the weight loss, keep it up and dont give up, keep at it.
October 16, 2012 6:23 pm
Hey everybody I disagree with the comment I posted. I bare my head in shame.
October 16, 2012 6:33 pm
Werrrrk Brit!!! Truly a Bombshell! She has slayed since middle school and has always carried herself with class! She is representing our city well! Congrats girly! xo
October 16, 2012 6:36 pm
I follow Brittany love her style I always asked myself why wasn’t she on here already
October 16, 2012 6:47 pm
Smokin HOOTTTTTT!!!!! You look fab hun, keep rocking WHATEVER you want HOWEVER you want!! The best accessory is a head held high and that you have chick! Ladies, undergarments hold in, and at the most they minimize, they don’t eliminate, so all of the “undergarments comments” are foolish to me, yes they are needed and its obvious she has them, do you see a dimple or dent? And for those who have taken time to give health advice, if you had taken 2 addl minutes to click on her blog you would know that she has lost a WHOLE lot of weight and is still losing, just because you are OVERweight doesn’t mean you aren’t healthy, you can be UNDERweight or AVERAGE weight and still suffer from some of the same ailments that a fat person has
Keep doing your thing Brittany, you are FAB hun!!!
October 16, 2012 7:05 pm
jade hahaha seriously are you still ignorant and still doing the rant” just because you are fat doesnt mean you are unhealthy” hahahah I would have taken you seriously if you had something intelligent to say hahahah. That argument is old and nobody believes that shit, to some extent yes but dont just apply it willy nilly.Hood rats kill me all the time.Jade get educated then you and i can talk. How far did you go in school.Shhhhh. Probably not far . As for your question about dents and dimples wont even address that as a respect to this georgeous blogger.
October 16, 2012 7:14 pm
I have to say that I love this girls style. The blazer into a blouse looks great! I can respect ladies and gents that can mix and match higher and lower end pieces into a great outfit. I’m not a fan of anything American Apparel, but its her closet not mine. I do have to say, that I went through her blog, and saw that she has lost a CRAZY amount of weight, so kudos to you girl and good luck on your goals!
October 16, 2012 7:14 pm
@jade everybody has been saying their opinions respectfully and you just sound so angry, bitter and spewing negativity. You can tell you have a chip on your shoulder. its obvious you are sensitive about weight issues. my suggestion if you are overweight and not comfortable with yourself jade enroll in a gym its that simple. Dont bring your weight issues here, a lot of people here have been bringing up fit issues which is a fair enough opinion.BIG UP to the blogger for being fabulous and thumbs down for angry people with chips on their shoulders like jade.
October 16, 2012 7:16 pm
She has some cute looks. Nothing extraordinary but cute. That legging look with the tucked in blouse gets a two thumbs down. Not a good look for a plus sized gal. Also not a fan of skinny jeans on plus size / curvy ladies.
October 16, 2012 7:39 pm
She looks great!
October 16, 2012 7:51 pm
love her style, hair and makeup…will be checking out her blog….i live in nashville, and hope that she publishes where she shops
October 16, 2012 7:56 pm
Hi ladies and Gents! First I would like to say Thank You to the Fashion Bomb for featuring me and also to the readers for the comments and constructive criticism.
Admittedly, I was a little hesitant at first to submit because of the negativity that can come with being a Bombshell. Though I consider myself to take criticism extremely well, I did not want to openly invite negative energy into my life because as we all know, like a sore, it can fester and spread! With that said, I am enthralled with the positive response that I have received and am so happy that I have/can inspire others to live and dress free.
I do want to let you all know that I am very aware of my problem area (my stomach, pouch, gut, etc) and believe me, it is not my favorite thing in the world, but it’s my reality, my flaw, so why struggle to hide it? I do not believe in sweeping things under the rug because then that would go against everything that I believe in, which is to live shackle free. So yes, you will see it in some of my outfits because it is there. As I always say, If I had crooked teeth, should I not smile? Of course not, that would be preposterous! I wear what I enjoy (as all of us should) and what makes me feel fabulous. I have lost a lot of weight and to be completely surface and honest, I refuse to wait until I lose another 80lbs or until my stomach disappears to enjoy fashion. I love fashion, I like to experiment with different trends and I enjoy pushing the envelope to let others know that you do not have to be confined by societies views. I understand with that is going to come some hits and misses and that’s ok with me, I own it :)
So thank you again to everyone for the overwhelming response. To those who uplifted me and left me constructive feedback, I really do appreciate it because you didn’t have to :)
October 16, 2012 8:31 pm
Love her and her blog!!!
October 16, 2012 9:59 pm
came back..just to check it out one more time…le sigh!!!!!!!!!!!! BOMBSCHELL INDEED.
October 16, 2012 10:00 pm
gon’ girl!!! she looks great and I like how she made those outfits work for her
October 16, 2012 10:16 pm
She’s really pretty!! but in the pictures on her blog, you can clearly see that she photoshopped her stomach/pouch in those disco pants with the blur tool. Now why would someone who “embraces” her flaws do that? Lol! Bottom line, her clothes are too small.
October 16, 2012 10:17 pm
I loveeeeee how Brittany responded with such class. I voted BOMBSHELL, I don’t care how your clothes fit baby girl, because u rock the hell out of em. At 5’7 and 135lbs I wish I had your confidence!!!! I am INSPIRED!

i think your style is nice. i love looks #1, 3, 7, 8, & 9 on you. i don’t think the disco pants flatter you at all. you should wear body shapers as i think most women should because it holds, molds, shapes, & smooths out everything beautifully. i’m a size 6 & my sister is a 0/2 & we wear body shapers. your hair, make up, & accessories are all on point. keep it up. your overall look is great.

brittany’s response i little bit off for me , congrats for losing weight but if you really believe in living shakle free then its means being comfortable enough in not trying to squeeze in tight ill fittinh clothes, so i feel thats a little bit contradictory for most looks were cute but trendy meaning you are just trying to be like eyerybody else and do whatever it takes to fit in and wear things that might not necessary fit your body shape. All i saying is u can wear wat ever you like, its your life but lets not try and convey this idea of not hiding and living shackle free cause thats not the case here.

October 16, 2012 11:32 pm
Love her style!! Very Flattering.
October 17, 2012 12:04 am
Love her style definitely a bombshell! I’m in awe!!
October 17, 2012 12:48 am
Very pretty and classy, but I got to admit that those black pants are very ill fitting in two specific pictures. :-/
October 17, 2012 2:40 am
what a fabulous lady! not only is she gorgeous but supremely stylish. Love the neon dress, she really knows how to put together a look

Hands down the BEST plus size fashion bombshell ever!
October 17, 2012 4:46 am
@Mary I am sorry if you misunderstood my response. What I consider “shackle free” is doing whatever I want, living my life however I want, and not being guided like a zombie by society. As a plus size woman, we/I have been told what I shouldn’t wear too many times, just because it shows my huge thighs, or my gut, or whatever that person feels is not attractive at the moment. I refuse to be live in bondage by what “you” (not you personally, figuratively) believe is right for me.
I believe where we differ is when you stated that I was trying to be like everyone else. I have never been one to try to be like anyone else, that’s simply just not the type of person I am. Everyone that knows me and has had a conversation with me will tell you otherwise without a doubt. Knowing who I am as an individual on all levels (gifts, strengths, weaknesses, flaws, the bad, the good and the ugly) is such a blessing, and I would never set out to be like anyone else. As a fashion enthusiast, of course I am inspired by looks, as most of us are, and trends are not always that great when you look back on them therefore there will be hits and misses as I stated before. That’s for everybody (the 80′s was a bad year for fashion, but everyone loved it at the moment lol). With all that, I know that I know that the clothes don’t make me who I am, my mind set does. Carbon Copy I will never be simply because it is just not in God’s will for me.
Thank you for commenting :)

The black dress is super cute but PLEASE burn those black pants. The fit is horrible and shows off every lump and bump. The lime green dress could be cute with better undergarments.
October 17, 2012 8:22 am
I went on her blog and looked at the post with the black dosco pants and realize that she used the blur tool in photoshop on her stomach. It is so obvious and looks horrible. So clearly she doesn’t “embrace” her flaws. Lol 90% of what she wears is too small. Just because you lost weight does not mean you can fit straight sizes. It’s ok to still wear plus sizes. Fit is more important than the tag number.
October 17, 2012 8:43 am
Pretty girl. Not liking those black pants, ill fitting. Loved the grecian skirt and top combo.
October 17, 2012 8:56 am
She is STUNNING !!
October 17, 2012 10:54 am
I voted bombshell. Her looks are great. However, fit is EVERYTHING! The green dress was so unflattering on her.
October 17, 2012 11:12 am
I def like the majority of her outfits and totally respect her responses to the comments. She is def a bombshell!!! I am loving the colors, from the beat face to the painted nails! Brittany, you are hot…Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!! The black and white blouse with the leopard bag is giving me life!! Also love the black and white dress with the teal clutches. XOXO
October 17, 2012 11:30 am
Ya’ll bitches kill me! So if u skinny that means your healthy! B%tch bye! Damn this website got serious internet gangsters! Ya’ll delayed a#s females need to go to mediatakeout with that sh%t! this a grown women and men only website!!!!
October 17, 2012 11:59 am
This is hot! I can’t get on board with the Grease Pink Lady pants because they are not flattering, and I think you sliiightly OD’d on the hair, but everything else is on point. Great looks, beautiful woman!
October 17, 2012 12:20 pm
I voted BOMBSHELL! I loved it ALL. The black and white stripped dress with the green shoes was my favorite. I saw the potential of where she was going and I loved every second. My only advice would be to wait on the peplum top with liquid leggings. Maybe the top could cover your stomach more. Other than that, FABULOUS!
October 17, 2012 2:58 pm
Other than those hot pants , that lime green jello dress & the mid-driff, her looks are decent. I still don’t belive just because they make it in your size you should buy and wear it — KNOW YOUR LIMITATIONS !
Congrats on the weight loss— but hold back on some of these looks until you can successfully pull them off.
Fabulous face by the way, simply gorgeous !

@ SOUL
Sorry, I find Tanehsa of Girl with Curves a tad bit boring. I’ve known of her blog for awhile and rarely visit because her style is very simple.
Tanesha does know what works for her body and dresses accordingly (her fit is always on point) but there is nothing extraordinary about her style and the outfits she puts together IMO.
As far as I am concerned Brittany’s style trumps Taneshas – “ill fit” or not… *shrugs*
October 17, 2012 8:23 pm
yessssssssss brittany you already know I love you to pieces and people don’t understand or even know where you came from to have so much to say. you dress well PERIOD and I love it. You are an inspiration to women all over.

@popo your comment is egregious to me! To come to the conclusion that I am uneducated and a hood rat because I gave my entitled opinion on this blog is asinine! Continue laughing popo because I am doing the same, Have a GREAT day :)
@Mary I am definitely not angry, nor do I have a chip. What I am is someone who embraces the idea of people not only stepping outside of a box, but eliminating the box altogether and loving themselves. What I will not do is force my ideas of right or wrong on others in any way. Mary you have your assessments, and rightfully I have mines. I didn’t expect my comment to be applauded by those that gave health advice by merely looking at an individual, I expected the comment to be interpreted as being negative, absurd, and anything other than something positive by said individuals. Have A GREAT day!
Brittany, was and still is applauded by me!!!
October 19, 2012 1:26 pm
I had to come and show my friend support! She’s fabulous and I’m glad she submitted her photos to FB! Go Brittany! :)
October 19, 2012 8:03 pm
I follow Brittany’s blog and I always look forward to seeing her looks. I am a huge fan of hers, not only because she is a fabulous plus size woman, but also because she truly emphasizes loving herself, and it shows that that is how she lives. She is awesome and I love her style. Its sad that people think that they have to be rude. Grow up. But Brittany, keep doing your thing darling! You are fabulous!
October 19, 2012 10:52 pm
WERK!!! I have been a fan of Britt’s for the longest. Yes she has lost weight, but it doesn’t she can still dress her butt off. I love that she takes risks. She’s not afraid of her body and it comes through in her choice of outfits. She kills the came all the time! The skirt with the high slit is giving all types of life! All her outfits do it for me!

She is one of my favorite fashion bloggers! She always serves and I love her combinations. Gorgeous!
Also, some of you commenting on her weight, should be ashamed of yourselves. First of all, if you have nothing nice to say, just don’t comment. I’m sure your mothers raised you better than that. Secondly, regardless of how you feel her clothing fits, she is SERVING.
October 20, 2012 9:59 pm
This is Fashion Bomb! And her fashion is on point!!! Always on point! I always have thought she was the ish simply for being herself and wearing things that women smaller than her would be scared or not know how to rock. Inspirational and fly.
October 21, 2012 6:32 pm
Love love love her style always on point you look good girl werk!
October 21, 2012 7:10 pm
