Today’s Bombshell, Melinda from LA, submitted a slew of selfies! But she’s so dern adorable, I decided to let it slide.
She wrote, “[I’m a] plus-size stylist.”
” My style is bold…”
“… funky…”
“… vintage-inspired…”
“… and is meant to show that curvy girls are not limited to wearing big belts over big dresses.”
” Lots of mumus and headwraps…”
“… bangles and fancy flats…”
“…because I’m a hustling momma who doesn’t have time for a twisted ankle.”
I know that’s right, Melinda! Go in and let have! Love this submission. So colorfully eclectic, tastefully chic!

Love everything about this post! She’s fab.
You look soooo FAB in the blue outfit! love it on you. The rest of the looks are just ok to me.
She DID THAT… WAIT OUT OF LA? Shocker!
Love everything about her! BOMBSHELL!
Well, we know she loves Target. That’s for sure.
Hits and misses. There’s a lot going on here.
Wait…This is considered plus size? A size 12 is not plus sized.
She looks no bigger than a 12. Size 12 is about the American average.
So sad, that women feed into the “SIZE” stereotypes.
She’s really cute and her style is really cute! Her hair is also on point!
I LOVE IT! plus size?! could have fooled me!
She said she is a plus size STYLIST….reading is fundemental
yall know she is considered plus size by fashion (read: white people)standards, no offence intended to anyone.
anyhow, her style isnt my persaonal taste but shes so pretty && her clothes are cool :)
It’s ok, she can tone it down a bit
plus size my azz! girl u look small compared to most women in the US lol. I could never pull this off.. but she does, and i like it for just that reason!!
I like her style.
I love her style. Its so unique and unexpected!!
I love the way she layers, just the right amount of different prints used. Bombshell!!!
Love this submission!
@Msthang reading is mos def fundamental..did you read this as well? “and is meant to show that curvy girls are not limited to wearing big belts over big dresses”
Clearly she thinks she PLUS SIZED!! HELLO!!
I’m just saying if you’re gonna come for someone…Like have it together!! Thanks in advance!
*Skips out of post blowing kisses*
I like her!
Nice…Blog?
I love her style and her story!
NOOOOO…too messy with some of her looks. She need to learn how to polish her looks.
Not bad a few complete misses tho love the head wrap and mumu’s
She definitely has style. It’s just some of the looks I wouldn’t wear, it works for her tho!
the camel toe indicates some fit issuses bit shes ok reminds me of alot of girls in the hood who wear bold prints very miley with the hair tho
I’m feeling it! It looks good on her…that’s ‘style’. LOL @ Sha…I was thinking the same…spell check anyone?? :D
I liked almost all of these (just didn’t like the first and fifth ones and maybe that last one). It’s not my style, but it’s a style she does well, which is why she’s a bombshell.
Just realized, the ones I didn’t like were the ones with the head scarf. Head scarves always make any look, look over-accesorized.
I’m here for her hair!
Confident and owns her look. Lot of people wish they had the talent. Kudos.
I love her looks. There is always something interesting to look at in her outfits. Even if her style isn’t something I would wear, I like the confidence she has to pull these outfits off. Keep it up.
this is what happens when people think “plus size” and “curvy” are synonyms.
I think she has too much going on.
LOL @ toots!!! (I was thinking the same thang) BOO I’m not IMPRESSED…
She is a plus size woman as she stated and as obvious via the photos.
Curvy and plus size are not the same thing, never will be no matter how much plus size divas try to “claim” it.
These are curvy women:
Sanaa Lathan, Beyonce, LisaRaye,Tyra Banks
These are PLUS SIZE women:
Monique, Queen Latifah, Claire, the bomber today, Amber Riley, Loretta Devine and the MAJORITY OF EVERYDAY WOMEN over the fashion size of 8/10
Notice to be truly curvy there is an OBVIOUS waist to hip ratio…. The chicks in the plus size category have much wider waists/backs and most often look like a Barrel.
@Plus Size is Reality I’m a size 10. I am top heavy, and don’t look like a barrel…!
I don’t get why you guys think it’s ok to come on MY SITE and say such disrespectful $hit. But whatever, guess it comes with the territory.
PS- the jean photo with the camel toe and protruding lower belly bulge, is a tragic example of not knowing the difference between” FIT and SIZE.
She got the jeans on but thinking they “FIT” however they do not FLATTER and only serve to emphasize in a not so flattering way.
Also the photo with no breast support in the blue and yellow dress is also very unflattering. The breasts look like deflated ballons!! As a stylist, the most basic concept should be FOUNDATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even if you do not own a strapless, every stylist worth a good tahoot KNOWS the MIRACLE OF DUCT TAPE!! GET SOME
A little elaborate for me to experiment personally but I love it! She’s a BOMBSHELL! I scrolled with anticipation to see what the next picture’s outfit would entail!
@plussizeisreality I realize that I’m a little late but you the same #itch that be on here leaving the same weak as# comments. #itch you a internet though. Show your face, since you got so much to say in these comments. I hate weak people.
Different and not bad. She looks like Rita Ora/Sharon Stone in some poses. Love her prints!
I love her style
It’s me! I myself am both “plus size” and “curvy”, though I wouldn’t spend the time to debate the difference as both are simply terms women, and society, use to label other people’s bodies. But I am also a STYLIST of plus-size women, and though I’m not sure I would chose that term myself, it is the industry-standard term. My job, and passion, is to help women feel good in their skin–not hide behind socially acceptable forms of fashion for their size. And I don’t think society, even other plus-size women, are any where near accepting the #honormycurves and #effyourbeautystandard movements that are taking place where women are being proud of themselves, at their current weight, and wearing whatever the hell they want.
If you do not “like” my style because you wouldn’t yourself wear it, that makes perfect sense to me. I wouldn’t wear half the things I see people in. But in reference to the camel toe, lord knows I hate it as well, but you know what? Sometimes, especially in pictures, it happens–and that was a cute outfit so it got submitted anyway. And guess what? Sometimes your girl goes braless–cuz it feels good and my boobs are actually pretty awesome and I don’t feel like wearing tape on my boobs. My style, and my professional philosophy, is more about being comfortable than it is always being “flattering”. You don’t have to agree, just thought I would share.
And to those of you that “get it” I appreciate the love and support and I’m @MuMuMansion on Instagram. For those of you that have anything less than positive to say about curvy, plus-size, or even fat women…please don’t bother:)
