Today’s Bombshell, Wendy, was born and raised in Kenya:
She writes, “Fashion bombshell is not something I’d ever have seen in my future, growing up. I was born and raised in Kenya, and I had always thought myself “too fat for fashion”.”
“I struggled with my weight throughout my teenage years and escalated when I moved to Canada for school in 2010, where most stores did not carry things in my size.”
“Health concerns in 2011 finally pushed me to take control and I lost almost 50 pounds.”
” I was suddenly able to afford a whole array of figure flattering clothes without breaking the bank, because I could suddenly shop at mainstream stores. And so it began. “
“I’ve since become a lot more confident and a lot less hung up on all the “fashion rules”.
“My style is very… feminine. I enjoy a cinched waist, a pencil skirt and an obnoxious heel. I think I exhausted my quota of ill-fitting clothes while I was overweight, and these days, fit is such an important thing to me. “
“I’m Christian, so I do try to be modest with my hemlines and necklines. I’m a little OTT sometimes – I have a friend who says I still have a big-girl personality… I think that’s a great compliment! Also, being African, I really enjoy colour and I wear brights all year!”
“I’m a student, and my budget is tight (TIGHT, I tell you), so I tend to shop Clearance Chic, but I’ve found such gems! It does take time, sorting through all the racks, but it’s always worth it. I bought this turquoise pencil skirt for $4.80!!! Can I get an amen?!”
“I blog over at a la Angel. Come visit me!”
Ok! I see lots of potential here and prefer your more colorful looks. Also, congrats on the weight loss!

I like the all black look with the printed blazer and coral shoe and every bag or clutch you’re carrying! You’re such a beautiful young lady please get rid of that blonde wig. Congrats on the weight loss!!
Looks 2 & 5 are my favorites. I wish some of the other photos weren’t as zoomed out so more details can be visible. I also think darker hair suits her much better. And congrats on the weight loss, her body looks great!
UMMMM Yes I like the african print blazer
In most of the pics the weave is very distracting. Consider rocking your natural hair sister it would be so much better.
Congrats in the weight loss, your waist looks snatched in that all black look with the orange bag.
Blesisngs
OMG those weaves and wigs! let them die honey! short hair would look awesome on you. The outfits were safe and some just not my taste. good luck on your fashion journey.
I voted bombshell but the hair distracts me. My natural hair supremacy always gets in the way.
Congrats on the weight loss! The only outfit I enjoyed was the last one. Say no to the blonde wigs.
The all black fit with the color and print contrast: all you! Love that. Congrats on your weight loss as well!
Why the fakes? They did nothing but distract.
Her hair is VERY distracting >_<
…However, recent weight loss is always a reason to flaunt it!
No ma’am
She reminds me of my daughter who has been watching over me all these years as I’ve helped her father realized she is a good and smart girl to make the right decisions. She has yet to let me down. Beautiful pieces.
Just say no to fake Chanel and knock off bags. Throw away that blonde wig. Congrats on droping 50 pounds and keeping it off.
Congrats on your weight loss! Your body looks great!
lose the wigs girl!! ASAP. congrats on your weight loss. having lost only 20 lbs so far, i know its a huge challange
Congrats to her on her weight loss and gaining confidence! She has potential but she needs more polishing and originality…there’s isn’t anything unique or mind blowing.
Aww! She’s adorbs. I love her!
Those blonde wigs were terrible and distracting! As for her clothing choices.. hits & misses.
She tried…
Thank you very much for the feedback, ladies. I left the blonde wig in 2012 lol :D
God bless you all!

Congrats on your weight lost; love your budget friendly looks.
Why spend more?!
Some hits and misses , overall she’s a fashionista.
You can’t please everybody! The only one that matters is yourself. I love how she talks about being Christian and wears appropriate clothing. It looks good on her!
SHE’S FROM MY COUNTRY!!!!! YEY!!!!
Lose every wig you have in those pics and go with your real hair. OR get better wigs. The only pic/outfit I liked was the last one.
Nice, but fake hand bags are always a NO NO… Better to go with a cheap bag, than a fake one.
I commend her weight loss her body looks great and the clothes are on point and fit her well…but the hair is dreadful *dwight voice*
DO YOU ANGEL!!!
