We’re ending this week with a bang! Take a gander at Sandee from Harlem:
The blogger for www.CurvEnvy.com writes, “It took me a long time to embrace my curves, however once I did, my confidence grew.”
“… I birth[ed] an appreciation for my large bust, in your face hips, my shapely thighs, and round butt.”
” With an abundance of trial and error, over-time I was able to educate myself on how to dress my particular body shape.”
” Learning to ACCENTUATE the best bodily features and DE-EMPHASIZE the not so great ones is a technique that EVERY woman should know, plus size or not.”
“I promote positive self image and I reiterate my self-proclaimed motto that “Style is NOT just for the skinny.”"
“…In every outfit I post, in my opinion, lycra and stretch are mandates in the fabrics of a curvy girl’s wardrobe. Our clothing should be form-fitting NOT body hugging.”
“My style is classic, with a dash of trend, sprinkle of pizzazz, and spoonful of sexy. ”
“In the end, I truly believe that style can be acquired by anyone, big girls included.”
“Curves are to be appreciated and flaunted. That’s why I say, let them be CurvEnvious!”
Gorgeous! I’m definitely a fan of your style. The printed pants and peplum top combo is perfection!

Not the worst I’ve seen but that exposed bra..no bueno!
January 11, 2013 1:48 pm
Bombshell!
January 11, 2013 1:48 pm
Sighs
January 11, 2013 1:49 pm
a few hits and misses but overall I like :)
January 11, 2013 1:50 pm
I don’t like the sheer top ensembles, but the rest is good to go. Those neon, plexi and black heels are the bomb.
January 11, 2013 1:50 pm
Pretty woman and I like her first three looks and the black dress.
January 11, 2013 1:50 pm
Everything is 2 tight! Loose fitting outfit would have been a good switch up 2
January 11, 2013 1:57 pm
Gorgeous, gorgeous gal!!
the sheer tops need to GO!
Don’t like the polka dots
Don’t like the grey jacket
Everything else is cute… Sandee needs to pay attention to fit and proportion a smidge more.
January 11, 2013 2:04 pm
Interesting…
January 11, 2013 2:05 pm
Hits and misses. Black pencil skirt was too tight. Sheer tops showed some unflattering bulges and the grey sweater outfit just didn’t work but I really like the other outfits minus a few shoe choices. She seems very positive and just still has a few things to work IMO but I like her overall.
January 11, 2013 2:07 pm
haute overall and i know my plus size women wanna rock the same fits as their smaller counterparts but NO to the exposed bra. reminds me of when nene tried it. fail. (maybe bandeau instead??)
January 11, 2013 2:12 pm
Like all the looks except for the ones with the exposed bra
January 11, 2013 2:17 pm
Exposed bra is never a good look at any size IMO. The black dress is my favorite along with the sparkled skirt. Leggins with exposed booty…no bueno. Pretty girl. I like overall.
January 11, 2013 2:31 pm
Love it all. Even the sheer tops. Even skinny girls buldge out, so I can over look. Sandee keep doing you hun.
January 11, 2013 2:32 pm
Just burn all those sheer tops and you’ll be straight
January 11, 2013 2:35 pm
No. It almost as if she is skinny in her head, hence so many very questionable choices. A lot of fabrics/textures chosen here are not for bigger girls. The exposed bra (even more when you have big breast) with a big belly is never fashionable.
January 11, 2013 2:39 pm
Sheer tops on a girl her size? No ma’am.
January 11, 2013 2:40 pm
Generally too tight!
January 11, 2013 2:45 pm
I’ve seen her stuff before and for the most part she’s aight. That sheer top foolishness….BIG GIRLS ANYBODY THAT TELLS YOU THATS CUTE IS NOT YO FRIEND! You need to bust them in the head with a bag of bricks….that aint cute!
January 11, 2013 2:47 pm
hmmmm…too many shiny pieces for me. the sheer tops were a bit much. i did like both black and white moments..hits and a lot of misses for me.
January 11, 2013 2:55 pm
I actually thought the houndstooth print leggings and peplum top was one of the better outfits. Although the top was a smidge too tight, or maybe the bra was too small? The polka dot outfit was great in concept, but I agree with the other commenters on the skirt being small.
I thought she killed it with the green sweater, leather skinnies, and fedora. That choice was great, as well as the black dress.
The gold pants and sequin blazer look would have been better if she buttoned the jacket to give a hint of skin or did a non-sheer top.
The other outfits didn’t do it for me. Overall some slight tweaks are needed, but I think she had a good showing.
January 11, 2013 3:06 pm
She has some really nice pieces!
January 11, 2013 3:17 pm
Please stay away from sheer tops.
A few of the pieces simply don’t fit.
The invisible part in one of your weaves is just…
January 11, 2013 3:24 pm
lol@ rocky and the invisible part…
January 11, 2013 3:32 pm
She indeed has style and originality but I voted ‘Some hits, some misses’ instead of ‘Hot! She DID that! Bombshell!’. I’m not a fan of the exposed bras. Besides that she’s FAB!
January 11, 2013 3:50 pm
She loves her two toned shoe
January 11, 2013 3:55 pm
love!
January 11, 2013 4:03 pm
She looks presentable in most of her looks despite her bad choice with the sheer tops
January 11, 2013 4:10 pm
I think any one can wear a sheer shirt just wear a camy / tank top under the sheer shirts or a button up blazer over them.
January 11, 2013 4:19 pm
Aside from the sheer tops, sis DID that!
January 11, 2013 4:23 pm
Nope, not with those sheer tops.
January 11, 2013 4:25 pm
Love her style, and she is right even big girls can have great style. I’ve never been a big fan of sheer top of big girls like that. Probably because I couldn’t wear it but big props to her at this point, she is smiling and oozing of so much confidence she is wearing the clothes instead of the other way around and it doesn’t really matter about the sheer.
January 11, 2013 4:28 pm
sheer tops look ratchet as 4k.
January 11, 2013 4:32 pm
I liked some looks. Not feeling the revealing tops though.
January 11, 2013 4:32 pm
The sheer top looks ghettooooooooooooooo. I like some of the other looks…. Hits and Misses…………..sorry
January 11, 2013 5:00 pm
With the exception of the sheer joints, she wears her heft well and knows how to dress for her shape. The polka dot outfit was my fav. Also like the some of those two-tone shoes.
January 11, 2013 5:07 pm
The polka dot outfit was cute as well as the snake skin print pants ouftit.
January 11, 2013 5:09 pm
With the exception of a few ill fitting items, I liked it all, including the sheer tops.
Good job Sandee!
January 11, 2013 5:13 pm
Sheer top no bueno the bulges are just not attractive.. Stick to the peplum top and things of that nature.. chunky shoes no as well.
January 11, 2013 5:40 pm
Very cute …. Def Bombshell in my book
January 11, 2013 6:00 pm
Is this a joke?! Claire, you really have no style or taste. What? I’m shocked you would say you like this considering how exposed to the world of fashion you are supposed to be.
January 11, 2013 6:05 pm
Three thumbs up! This girl is HOT and SEXY! Werk!
January 11, 2013 6:08 pm
Sorry, these looks are sooo hit & miss to me!!!!!

January 11, 2013 6:47 pm
Aside from the sheer top, I like all her outfits. As a plus size girl, I think she dresses for her body type. I’m glad I didn’t see any bodycon dresses with her rolls showing. HOT!
January 11, 2013 7:24 pm
No to the sheer shirts but everything else is good!
January 11, 2013 7:44 pm
Again the misuse of the word curvy. Beyonce is curvy. let get the words right.
January 11, 2013 8:40 pm
Hmmm…I hope u didn’t pay for that education!
January 11, 2013 9:25 pm
I love the look with the snake print pants!
January 11, 2013 11:17 pm
i like it!
January 11, 2013 11:24 pm
She served in the snakeprint pants & pink top. She inspired me there so I gave her bombshell. The see-through blouse is a miss. Overall, her style is cohesive though.
January 12, 2013 12:47 am
She looks fabulous! She has a very nice sense of style. It’s not easy to be fashionable when you’re plus because there isn’t always a variety of clothing items in common shopping places.
I really enjoyed her more sleek and sophisticated ensembles. I think her confidence was the most appealing part of her wardrobe.
January 12, 2013 1:14 am
I dont like the sheer top/ exposed bra on anyone. Not a fan of the leggings/ jeggings etc on her. Liked the black dress and the grey outfit ( a pop of color would have been nice though ) , and that was about it . I voted hits and misses
January 12, 2013 4:44 am
She’s beautiful and so are her looks.
January 12, 2013 5:00 am
cute
January 12, 2013 5:03 am
All of this looks uncomfortable ) :
Looking at these outfits is painful.
January 12, 2013 7:46 am
Beautiful, loved it all
January 12, 2013 8:52 am
wow you have to upload head to toe looks and and a lot of photos that are hot. But anyone can dress like this hot big mistake here showing her bra and all they can be on your site.
January 12, 2013 9:43 am
What I want in 2013 is for thick girls to realize that the correct SIZE is key. Stop looking at the size of a garment and go for the FIT. Also every trend that comes through is NOT for ALL body types. Just cuz someone makes a sheer or a spanx something in anything bigger than a XL does not mean we can wear it. It’s about dressing for your bodytype….I am a big girl and I follow these rules close so I don’t look a fool…. I’m jus sic of seeing bodycons…spanx and more done the wrong way. Pocketsandbows is the best prototype (other than myself LOL) I’ve seen thus far that has plus size style down…….
January 12, 2013 12:20 pm
CLAIRE!
January 12, 2013 1:28 pm
Wow… No need to attack Claire for her opinion. People need to stop posting themselves as “Anonymous” and put a face to their opinions. Don’t be afraid to stand behind your comments, that’s like coming into someone’s house and putting dirty feet on the couch. Anyway, I don’t like sheer tops by themselves, I’d do it with a blazer or a really cute bomber zipped halfway. Otherwise I like what she’s doing :)
January 12, 2013 1:45 pm
Say NOT to sheer.. It aint for everybody.
Other than that – great ensembles. An exceptional A+ for finding the right pieces for your body type………………. EXCEPT the sheer shirts.. say NO mama!!!!
January 12, 2013 4:20 pm
-_- um yes hits and misses, but darnit what about the hair! No! Fashion is all around. Everything!
January 13, 2013 1:00 am
I see she loves H&M as much as i do :D
January 13, 2013 2:45 am
lol@ rocky…NEWAY She is cute i think her style can be a bit more polished but she reppin Harlem and oozing ubers upon ubers confidence!! Get em Hunny! YASSSSS!
January 13, 2013 6:05 am
Most hits, some misses. Overall I’d say she was Bombshell material
January 13, 2013 12:37 pm
I rated Sandee as a bombshell because she got the fit right! Pics #1 and #2 are frankly perfect; hair to shoe. However, the sheer tops are simply inappropriate. They rob you of your sophistication.
January 13, 2013 12:44 pm
No to the extra sheer and intentionally exposed bras. Whether you are “curvy” and “confident” or skinny, they look a hot mess. No ma’am! I really like everything else though.
January 13, 2013 4:31 pm
The ZARA COLOR BLOCKED Shoes………..I Die!!!
I luv mines tOo & U wear them well darlin. I see U big mama! ;-)
#bloop
January 13, 2013 4:37 pm
Sandee, I see your being attacked as I was the beginning of the week lol but I hope you realize…some ppl DON’T KNO HOW TO BE CRITICAL and that’s OK….I LOVED all of your looks…with the beige sheer top I wld have worn a beige bra..but love the skirt…Way to represent for the Curvy Girls! *3snaps*
January 13, 2013 5:26 pm
LOVE ALL HER SHOES!
January 14, 2013 3:50 am
I love her style, she not only educate plus size girls on fashion but she helps many gain confidence; that being plus size can be as fab as the next. It’s not about size, it’s about style. Sandee, do your thing girl; I respect everything you do from YT, FB, Instagram and CurvEnvy!
January 14, 2013 8:41 am
<3 ALLLLL HER LOOKS!!
HER STYLE IS QUITE SICKENING!!!!
WERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRK!!!!!!!
Style has no size its confidence and pizzazz …and she has it! =)
January 15, 2013 11:08 am
Confidence is on 1000… but when she wears those sheer tops….. NO BUENO !
she does have gorgeous legs & a beautiful face & a good sense of style for the most part….. she gets major points for being a HARLEM DIVA like myself.
January 15, 2013 4:03 pm
“she wears her heft well”
who the hell says that? She is curvy not hefty! I am so over it.
Sandee you look great! I love your style and I wish I had confidence like you (working on it for 2013) People are always going to have an opinion, thank GOD HIS is the most important one. Keep it up pretty girl!
