Today’s Bombshell is Shay from New Jersey:

She says, “My style is definitely very risky, as a plus size woman I still wear my shirt tucked in, I wear shorts and short skirts or dresses.”

“… Fashion is not meant to be limited by the price on your clothes tag.”

” I think my style reflects my moods.”


” I wear what I like, even if its a couple season old.”

” My style is very much me…loud and out there, fun and colorful.”

” I take a lot of pride when I get dressed, and I hope others see that as well.”

Alright! I’d say you have some hits, some misses. Be careful of fit, especially with pants. What do you guys think?

  1. Not trying to throw shade so lets start w the positive 1st..Those teal shoes, need a full pic bc those look hot! The fit of the clothes are good. But these looks I’ve seen a million times. It’s like there is some fashionable checklist that these people lookup….

    Blazer and Skinnys (check)
    Oversized clutch (check)
    Color Blocking (check)
    Cross leg pose (check)
    Cobalt blue harem/slacks (check)

  2. Kudos to you and all bombshells/bombers that submit photos…I will say that I get the concept of the looks you were going for however some of them weren’t executed properly. The blazer and shorts would have been better if the shorts were a dressier material and you got rid of those white socks.

  3. missing a refinement but i see what you were trying to do. i think you should invest in more quality clothing but i know what can be difficult as a plus size woman.

  4. I love the second look, even though it’s done over a million times already, it looks really good on you! Loving your hair too.

  5. this is totally offtopic.

    But Claire, I was trying to see whether you had a tumblr, and I stumbled upon your page.

    Uhm I just wanna pat your weave, give it a snap, a twist and a kiss for sitting on your glorious head!

    I just want to say, you are an inspiration, smart,fit, gorge AND a harvard degree

    YES- GOD!

  6. Girl! sorry weave just sounded good :p Thanks for the quick reply, love your tumblr!

    I know you just finished posting your work out routine

    but girl, we will need your lock routine too. Because you look clean, polished and fresh.

    And there are many poor souls out there who could use the info (cough,moi)

  7. Her legs are absolutely gorgeous as a plus sized girl it is commendable that she wears shorts.

  8. i love to see beautiful sistas of all sizes rock a style that fits well on them!!! shes FAB!! :)
    (SIZE DON’T MATTER, AND THIS IS COMIN FROM A SKINNY B***h) LOL

  9. What’s considered “Style” is really based on a person own definition, and I both admire and respect anyone who has the courage to allow themself to be critic. With that being said her style is not bad, but it’s not great. There is no wow factor for me. I think everything is put together nicely. Not feeling the outfit with the blue pants w/ the strips shirts….it looks kind of like something my grandmother would wear , plus is does nothing for your shape (sorry). I also agree with the post by J.Key that said “The blazer and shorts would have been better if the shorts were a dressier material and you got rid of those white socks”. I think a dresser jean material would have been fine w/ a heel

  10. *snaps finger* ..and we were doing so well. I agree with Claire, lots of hits and misses. Love that you rock what you love, but you have to be mindful of the fit, otherwise it can bring down your whole look.

  11. @Lethia have a _/

    Her looks work well with her being that she is tall and a full figured woman…I would agree with some people, be mindful of the pants…other than that thumbs up boo.

  12. @lethia…. fashion isn’t only for skinny folk…and learn to spell before you decide to bash someone willing to put herself out there.

  13. I really like that black & white print even thought the dress is too blousey for my tastes. The blue pants are serving front butt and that hurts my soul. I see potential yet to be realized because something’s a little off with every look.

  14. I just want to know where Shay got that last look: the dresses, boots and belt. I need them in my life! No, I’m serious!!! Where did she get them from?

  15. I think she looks good…nothing out of the ordinary but for a plus size who knows how to dress her figure. I like.

  16. Love your shoes in every picture, and I love the black blazer, the sparkly one sleeve dress, and that graphic print dress entire look is gorgeous.

  17. I don’t see what’s risky about it. I just kinda looks average put together. It’s not bad by any means, doesn’t stand out to me either.

  18. I agree with the person that says she is missing something. She’s cute and reppin for us plus size divas…but mehhh I’m missing the DIVA!

  19. She has a great look, very beautiful girl but the overall style needs to be tweaked a bit.

  20. She seems like a fun person, but the ensembles are just not jelling well IMO. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but these looks are missing something.

  21. It doesn’t matter if you’ve seen it before, all that matters is that you take an outfit off the hanger and make it your OWN! I love that she takes risks, I’m a size 8 and I would never wear denim shorts! Confidence speaks! Work it!

  22. The teal shoes are hot along with the black & white striped dress. She really does need to invest in a really nice tailor. Some hits, mostly misses. I love her confidence though.

  23. I enjoyed her looks. She wears clothes that are not only appropriate for her body type but they look good on her! Minus the first look though. I love love love those teal shoes. And so what if we’ve seen these types of looks on people before!! You all act like the things you wear are so original. Everyone wears things that have been worn by other people. Its all about what looks good on YOU, she picks what she likes and wears it well.

  24. I only wish I had your confidence when I was plus size! I was so attached to Lane Bryant it didn’t make any sense.
    So I commend you and you def look great in your clothing!
