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!

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Love it all. Even the sheer tops. Even skinny girls buldge out, so I can over look. Sandee keep doing you hun.

  5. 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.

  6. 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!

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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…

  10. 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!

  11. She looks presentable in most of her looks despite her bad choice with the sheer tops

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. The sheer top looks ghettooooooooooooooo. I like some of the other looks…. Hits and Misses…………..sorry

  15. 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.

  16. With the exception of a few ill fitting items, I liked it all, including the sheer tops.

    Good job Sandee!

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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!

  20. 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.

  21. 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.

  22. 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

  23. 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.

  24. 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…….

  25. 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 :)

  26. 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!!!!

  27. 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!

  28. 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.

  29. 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.

  30. The ZARA COLOR BLOCKED Shoes………..I Die!!!
    I luv mines tOo & U wear them well darlin. I see U big mama! ;-)
    #bloop

  31. 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*

  32. 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!

  33. <3 ALLLLL HER LOOKS!!
    HER STYLE IS QUITE SICKENING!!!!
    WERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRK!!!!!!!
    Style has no size its confidence and pizzazz …and she has it! =)

  34. 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.

  35. “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!
