Yes shes doing it! She knows about fit!!!
Well I like curvy women but some of the clothes are a little ova the top
Soorrrry
I saw her featured elsewhere before and after looking at her blog I found that her looks are hit or miss with me…..she has great pieces but I rarely like an entire look that she rocks mainly b/c I hate cheap looking accessories and detectable lacefronts and she never mastered the art of making cheap look chic….some of it just looks cheap…overall beautiful lady tho and I love that she has her own sense of style even if I don’t like most of them.
i like her :-)
love her confidence! and i NEED that little gold bag. lol.
YES!
Do it DIVA!
umm.. I love that she embraces her body type. I think that it’s something everyone should do. She dresses very nicely. But what is that bird around her neck?
I love the color and confidence and the fit, but that black to blonde wig is a Janice Combs NO NO! Lose that, and win big time miss lady! Also, the Grace Jones lookin feather thingie has got to geaux!
I’m not a fan but I think she still looks nice though
I read her blog. She has alot of great pieces. Some of her looks are a real win. I agree with some of the readers that its hit or miss. Sometimes its too much like zebra ring, zebra earrings, zebra bracelet, zebra shoes, zebra bag, and zebra belt. But I love seeing pieces on her from the major plus retailers because i get to see them on a real plus body.
Lawdttt….I’m a plus/ curvy girl my damed self…but one thing I loathe about “us” is why is it always the bigger the girl the bigger the everything! Hair, jewelry, make up, purses, boa, prints etc….I’m so sorry but I just hear Monique’s voice in every picture…”HAAAAYY….BABY…HAAAAY!!! (Lawd)
Doing IT! Love that white jumpsuit, too cute
Her confidence is definitely her best accessory. Love it. I like most of her looks, some others are o_O
LOVE IT!
I Love It! Sure, the accessories are a bit extra, but the clothing in each picture are ON POINT! Yes Maam!
She has great confidence, I’m not loving some of the accessories but she’s workin’ it pretty well.
I luv it…you can totally tell she’s dress for herself and this is her style…its not my style…but I luv that she owns its..
I’m sorry I don’t like one outfit. Over the top not in a good way. The clothes look cheap, at least they fit well. That wig just ages her. Well at least she has great confidence.
I love the looks everything but the red dress with the feathers. I hate the feathers
Well not love but like
her accessories are a bit much…but it’s the best bombshell i’ve seen this week.
LOVE LOVE LOVE FAB!!!! She knows exactly what to wear according to her body and at the same time ooozes confidence..
She looks like the fun, younger aunty who let’s you curse & have a wine cooler when your mom isn’t around.
Some of the accessories or over-the-top, but I have a feeling so is her personality. WORK Aunty Bella!
Not really my style preference, but it works really well for her, love my curvy chicas!
She is curvy and fabulous!!!!!!
Her confidence is great, and the white jumpsuit def works, bc not everyone (no matter what size) can get away w a jumpsuit. But the short wig? The feather collar? Very much like ur Aunt who will tell you how she had it goin on back in the day..
No Ma’am..that’s all
Hmmm…she has a few good looks, but for the most part she’s doing too much. I like the colorful floral dress and the gold clutch. The feathered neck piece and the over-sized multiple jewels have to go.
Shes a diva for sure! I like :-)
not a fan bbw world (for the sake of HEALTH) … but this is a Fashion BLOG SO LET ME RESPECT MYSELF!!!…. SHE IS QUITE the extradonaire . Its funny not until i discovered Fashion blogs did i know there was world for BBW. Loving it Boo, you give me oxygen. (expect for that Feather Catastrophe *sipstea*)
Everything fits very nice and everything is fun :)
uhm, first of all I Love your smile, girl, you light up the room!
second, your calves are ridiculously elegant.
i give it three snaps, a twist and a kiss
such a pretty girl…I like it…I never say anything negative, but I must beg her to loose the little wigs…they are really ruining it for me. I’m rocking a baldie right now so I’ve been overly critical…but I do think it can distract for real beauty…and this woman is beautiful….I love everything else…just looooooose the little wigs…trust me. DMV stand up!
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THE CLOTHES!!! CURVY AND GORGEOUS!!! (at the risk of sounding like a hater, I hate the wigs, they have to go)
I love it!!!
wow girl, I wish I had the confidence to wear that red dress with the feathers! shes really owning it!
Love the colorful maxi.
Now that’s a woman who knows how to dress for her body type! She’s beautiful, classy and elegant!
Very stylish! Two thumbs up!!
I really like the black long sleeved maxi!!
I think her style is great. She looks very well put together in all the pics and unlike most I actually liked all the looks. I think her clutch game is on point and I applaud her for not wearing too tight clothes, which I think is the REAL issue from all the plus size bashing that sometimes goes on. I liked the feathers…looks like a special occasion accessory and I’m sure she wasn’t dressed like that for the office so… big deal. I agree about the wig. The wig keeps her beauty from shining through because its so obviously synthetic!
Super cute. I dig that white jumpsuit. I think she needs to be careful with being too “matchy-matchy” with her accessories and maybe switch up the wig.
Go girl!! Represent for the thick girls!!
Best full figured FB they’ve had in a long time.
STAY FAB!! :-)
I like it. I would lose a neck piece if youve got show stopper earrings; the white jump and black dress are my faves.
Beautiful.
Love it!
Cute, but I’m at a lost for words with those feathers around her neck.
I love the feathers!!!!! gawn gurl!
I love some feathers, but that collar is too much for me…lol. I like pretty much everything else though. Keep doing your thang mama. Represent VA!;)
she looks cute
No way in…..lemme shut up. Just NO.
I love it!! Well everything except the feather collar!
This is what i am talking this is one beautiful curvy sister who knows how to dress for her body. she looks classy and glamourous. everything about her screams real beauty and class. Finally a true curvy fashionista. hands down for this hot mama. Well done claire for choosing a good rep for all the curvy girls out there. i am a size 2 but so inspired by this lady, that white jumpsuite and red dress wow.i want one too. i am so impressed. kudos.
Why is it when people wear loud and tacky clothing, they’re described as “confident”?! Stop it.
One word: Awesome!!!
I like all except the white look… The looseness isn’t flattering and only makes her look larger and the red dress with the feathered what ever the hell u call it makes her look like a big ass bird. Other than that, cute. The ruffles on the side of the blk dress was a nice touch to make her look smaller
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH MY GOD SO SO LOVELY
I really wish that people would stop equating “curvy” with plus size.
Now some curves are laid out more nicely than others. Halle Berry is Curvy, Beyonce is Curvy, Tocara is Curvy..the model that just passed away Mia, is CURVY.
Fatrolls and curves are not the same thing, so just stop it.
I love the Igigi maxi on you :D
I love the black dress! It’s beautiful! Looks good on you :)
very lovely
LOL@Grace..
work your thing !
@cupcake, AMEN! I was coming on here to say just that. Dear plus sized/big/fat women, please stop missusing the word “curvy.” As a regular sized curvy girl I would like to reclaim the word curvy.
I think you are DOIN IT!!! All the naysayers are just HATERS…Keep Doin You!!!
some of her looks are misses, that white jumpsuit is a definite hit. that boa… should be taken out back and buried. i love her confidence though, she’s working that beautifully!
Loves it! WERK!!!!

Ursula from the Lil mermaid comes to mind
Love
She looks confident and beautiful. thats all that matters.
you go on girl!!!
Hey mama, I’m feelin it..I like the fit and everything..keep doing YOU!
There were some cute looks, but several of them were over accesorized, giving it a more cluttered feel unfortunately.
