We’re ending this fab week with Stephanie from Chicago:
The blogger for The Haute Meal says, “I consider my style to be classic…”
“… but with an edge.”
” I look for timeless shapes in unusual fabrics or colors, and mix those into my wardrobe to create something interesting.”
” I really just love to have fun playing with what’s in my closet.”
” I’m also a proud shoe whore.”
” I’m that chick in the office that people are always stopping to look at my shoes and ask, “How do you walk in those!?” ”
“The answer is simple: Like a boss!”
“Thanks so much for considering my entry!”
Of course! Lots of cute looks here. I’m gonna have to check out your blog!
See more on Stephanie’s blog www.thehautemeal.com and on Instagram @TheHauteMeal.

I like the fourth look and the hair in the fifth look! I’ve tried doing a braided bang so many times in the past and fail miserably each time!
So cute!!! As a fellow shoe whore who regularly gets those questions I’m looking forward to borrowing your answer “like a boss!”
I know I’m gonna get a lot of heat for this, but no to this. It’s not about being big or slim, it’s about dressing for your size& she does not, but the clothes& shoes are nice.
I like that quote. Like a boss! lol. ok style, too many bare midriff styles for me. Not bad, not the best
Eh…I guess I’m supposed to be impressed.
Some of her skirts/pants and the black cross crop top appear too small. As was already stated, it’s not even her size, you need to know your proportions and what will flatter them.
I only had an issue with two outfits where it did not flatter her tummy area. Overall she does have some unique pieces like the green skirt,printed jackets,. I do feel she needs to find out what works getter for her shape . Not a fashion bomb, but not terrible.
Her style is okay, but certain pieces don’t fit her body well. She has a cute face and nice hair, and I think she should try to focus more of the attention to her best features, and that would be her FACE. Really nice makeup with take the attention away from your body. I really wish larger women would just hit the gym and apply better eating habits so that they can rock the styles that they really love without looking foolish. I’m not a fan of plus size acceptance. If you love unique pieces, you need to slim down.
Love that she’s showing you don’t have to dress in a big sheet as a plus size girl or like a rolled sausage Lovely style!

@Beverly T, I agree to a certain extent. The tight skirts and mid bearing tops aren’t the best choice. Heck I’m fit and I don’t wear those because they don’t look right on me.
I do like her choice of color and incorporating that into her wardrobe.
Damn, I guess some of ya’ll think the only thing a heavy person should wear is a muu-muu or something, lol. She should just focus on her face? For real?? Even the little skin that is exposed with the crop top is tasteful. I think the style is on point. And I totally need that fierce and flawless t-shirt!
A lot of bigger women ARE hitting the gym to lose weight, but in the meantime, what do you do? Dress like a nun? Shhhiii, you got big girls playing in the French Open and winning and still can’t get love :-/
Some of her clothes are too small, that’s it! The overall style fits her shape well.
I like many of the looks but some towards the end of the post are simply too tight/ill fitting. The first few looks look nice
Really @Beverly T??? We don’t need fat shaming on this site. I appreciate the fact that Claire chooses to showcase men and women of all shapes and in all hues. I do agree that dressing for your correct size always looks more flattering than trying to squeeze into a size that’s too small.
Crop tops? Really? Smh
Hello, ladies – Stephanie from The HauteMeal here. First, thanks so much to Claire for choosing me for this feature! Love her style and her site. Also, thanks to everyone for their votes and comments. There was some body shaming, which I expected, but I appreciate those who offered constructive criticism.
I just want to address the “too tight” issue that some of you appear to have. None of what I’m wearing is too tight. Everything I wear slides on easily, zips easily, and is comfortable to wear. While I do enjoy all kinds of fits, including more body-conscious styles, I always take care that I’m never stuffed into my clothing. As one person noted, there are no rolls hanging out of anything I wear. In fact, the black crop in the first look was actually a bit big on me, even though someone claimed it looked too small. The relatively thin material of the silver PU skirt in the last photo does tend to show the outline of whatever I’m wearing under it or have tucked into it, and I have since revised how I wear that piece to accommodate that fact (this particular outfit is not on my blog because of that, but I do still love the style combination).
I think that seeing a plus-size woman wearing styles that are often only seen on a slim figure has a tendency to make some people indignant, like, “Who is she to wear something that I wouldn’t even wear myself?” Well, why wouldn’t you wear it? That sounds like a personal problem to me. I wear the things that excite me and that make me feel beautiful and comfortable. If others enjoy it, I’m happy to share. If someone doesn’t like it, well… You do you, boo. And I’ll keep doing me.
Anyway, thanks again, ladies, and have an incredible day!
Beautiful girl. Cute style.
I voted bombshell ! Her style for her shape is fun I don’t agree with the midriffs I must admit . But everything else is bold and Her confidence must this entry the most inspiring bombshell I’ve viewed all this year!
Denial is a hell of a drug. Instead of taking constructive criticism, u made excuses. What a Shame
