  1. I’m really feelin’ the 2nd outfit. The others are hit and miss. I was a little discombobulated at first though, because she’s got some bangin’ curves!

  3. So I think ivory you look FABULOUS ! I love dresses 1,2,3 & 6. Work it Rock it & Strut it girl !

    Xoxo CA @ PARDONMYCLOSET.BLOGSPOT.COM

  8. WOW girl you better work it! Im loving your bold and daring choice of diverse colors! Some people are stuck in that hollywood way of thinking that beauty comes in one size (size 0) but you are beautiful and Very stylish!

  10. I’m sorry but her looks are geechi at best and all the same ( repeat offender!). The chinese store plastics and greasy hair & skin is a DON”T ….I am impressed with her confidence and gorgeous curves though! and more importantly the Style Bomb has been fizzing out lately. I am looking to be inspired!

  12. I love her confidence! I would never think to put some of the colors together but I will try it.

    @lola, your comment is so very disrespectful.

  13. She looks FABULOUS!!!! I love the hair, her makeup choices, and the way she chooses pieces that accentuate her figure. Great job! =)

  14. Lovely, Divine..fabulosity comes in various sizes..she worked it better than some slimmer chicks ive seen on this post..

  15. Now that’s how you do it!!! You look Fabulous. I love the color shoe choices, the hair and make-up is FIRE! Now that is how a full figured women should look, my best friend is about your size and she can’t never find fly clothes please tell us where you shop so that i can send her there ASAP! You are too fly for your own damn good :) HOTTTTTT

  16. Girl you worked it. I’m loving how all your choices highlight your curves. I love that second picture the most. Those shoes, Girl you know you killing it

  19. Her smile made me smile-I’m loving her confidence! I love that all her dresses are flattering for her curves. I also love her accessories. *thumbs up*

  22. oh wow, i made the cut! LOL…thanks for the positive comments everyone. i shop everywhere, but lately i’ve been obsessed w/ asos.com. when i say everywhere, i mean it…that red/black dress is from jcpenny’s. i’m a true shopper and love fashion, so i don’t let my size limit what i can do.
    p.s. what does “geechi” mean? LOL…i’ve gotten beyond the point of using slang :)

  26. WOW great style!!!!! And right, what is geechi? Id like to know also. Any negative comment on this post is hating at its best. And only a true fashionista can make a JC penny dress look HOT! Go gurl!!!

  28. I love it when a plus size girl knows how to put herself together! Every outfit worn by you is fabulous, These girls need to take pointers from you and not look all sloppily put together.

  30. Good looks! You know how to rock your curves and love the hair! good job 1, 2 and 4 are my fav!

  31. I am feeling your style! 1,000 watt Killer smile!!!

    Ivory, you should slightly tilt your head up in your pics to elongate your neck. Sorry, that is the Tyra in me coming out. xoxo

  32. Yes ASOS has the cuties things and is a must do…and a true fashionista can make JCPenny or Playless Hot it all dependes how you work it :)

  33. OK…I NEEEEED to know where you bought dress number 4! I love it! Please advise….

  34. A lot of my clothes come from JCP they have some nice pieces but I don’t tell the world then everyone is gonna go take a peak jk..Geechi means country and backwards to my understanding.

  35. Geechi AKA GeeChee AKA Southern AKA Country AKA Generic AKA JC Penny ..I’m not hating ?? I gave compliments just wasn’t inspired.

  36. LOL @ Lish…my bad!
    @ uptown chick, i got that from fashion island…it’s a cheapy store in l.a (not to mention i got it may 2009).

  37. Gorgeous lady, I am a big big fan of dresses too! The 3rd dress, I almost picked up at JCP.

  38. Beautfiul! My favorite is the black and red dress! I love how your dresses are FITTED, not skin quenching tight. Love your hair too, very nice style! :)

  40. I love your confidence and ur curves to match!! This is how it’s supposed to be done…I like everything!! –

  42. “I don’t think i fit in with any style in particular; I just wear what makes me happy.” —-realest line since I’ve been reading these posts. LOVES IT!

  44. “I don’t think i fit in with any style in particular; I just wear what makes me happy.”
    umm.. i LOVE this girl’s attitude and confidence! that’s HOT.
    & her colorful outfits match her vivacious smile – gon head, girl!

  48. Miss Bliss why dont you send in your style so you can inspire us all, as for the bombshell of the day, you work what suite you and i like it

  50. well Ivory you have inspired me, i’ve wanted to change my stlye to rock more dresses n skirts but hate my thic thighs rubbin. but after seeing you, i’m a done deal! i’m going shoppin’ this weekend!

  51. Ivory you look freaking awesome. I love your urban chic style. Those dresses on you are killer. I love the hair and your shoe game is SERIOUS!

    How can I contact you to do another feature.

  53. U look good girl keep doing u…
    If someone wants inspiration go create it 4 urself… Who knew the F/B of the day was suppose to only inspire..smh

  54. Its great to see a beautiful black woman who isn’t afraid to flaunt her curves! I especially love the the colorful tunic dress as well as the red and black assymmetrical piece! And your shoe game is on POINT! From one curvy girl to another “YOU BETTA WEEERRRKK!!!!”

  56. Ivory… you are doing the damn thing! I’m loving your confidence, it shows through in all your looks. you OWN your look and that’s something many “fashionistas” can’t say. Work it sister WORK IT!

  57. thanks again for all the compliments; y’all made my day :)
    i don’t have a blog, but i am on facebook (isn’t everyone?)
    @ a lady named b: i live in dresses; i wear them everywhere…work, grocery store, church, the club, shopping…they’re super easy and so comfortable. you should start; you would be surprised on how much you like them!

  58. All you big girls out there, please take note. You can be thick and wear sexy, yet appropriate, (spandex) dresses. Thank you, Ivory, for showing us how it’s done.

  59. Ok she’s well put together and is working her curves oh so confidentally i love it very fashionable and real fashionistas can work with what they got whether its jcpenney or rainbow as Tom says MAKE IT WORK so the geechi comment was unnecessary that is all

  60. It all sounds a little too staged to me ? Did you call in a FB friends for a few accolades. To each it’s own people to each it’s own.

  61. i think her style is breaking barriers for curvy women of colr she is not afraid of her body and colors i give her a 10 because i luv colors n a 10 for not being afraid to embrace her curvyness!!!!! you go girl i luv it!!!! and p.s. i dnt no her im from charleston,sc and we are not friends on facebook and will b bringing future fashion pics to this page soon me and my fashionista sisters!!!!!

  63. wow u just really inpsired me! Im a thicker girl myself….u just gave me so many pointers thank you!!

  65. HEY i commented already; dee is my sister so im just co signing her post. But also just to let Mrs bliss know that many of us dont know her and the verdict remains with 99.9 of us lovin her style, and ur right to each their own, we luv her style, you dont, end of story, so please stop posting and accussing this beautiful young lady of bring facebook ppl to boost her up, because strangers can obviously see this girl is FLY….that is all….Stay tuned to be inspired by the FASHIONISTA SISTERS! We WILL be in a bombshell post soon!

  66. i like her style…she is just too cute….keep on smiling girl..looks good on you

  67. @MrsBliss: i don’t know any of the people making comments and i’m not that desperate for attention that i need to ask a bunch of fb friends to make comments; it ain’t that serious boo…
    if katt was reading this, he would be so proud of me! i earned myself another hater…i love it :-)

  68. Go girl! I love dresses and prints too. Me and you would have to go shopping…where did you get the one shoulder dress? Work it honey!

  69. I love all your outfits!
    You dress in a way that really suits your figure…I love it!
    I also love your hair…..accesories and shoes!
    You just have IT!! GO GIRL!!
    … All the way from London ;-D

  71. you killed these outfits and I am the flyand fashionable brother to dee and bee and Ms.Bliss if you have to be inspired by someone eleses creations or styles you are not fashionable at all…#thatisall and yes we are the FASHIONABLE FAMILY

  73. Fab chica indeed! Ivory you better find a way to become even more fabulous so you can have 5 more of Mrs.Bliss’ by Christmas!

  74. i have to agree with others, not only do the dresses look cute ( and i have to agree with her notion of wearing dresses everywhere, they can be suprisingly comfortable and easier turn into a cute outfit then jeans and a tee) but her dresses FIT her very well. they are body skimming without being too tight and the cut of the dresses compliment her shape as well. i don’t think big girls should ever dress in mumuus but i do think they need to be concious, as does everyone, about the fit of their clothing.

  76. Wooouuuhhhhweeee!! I can feel the confidence transpiring from her photos! Keep doing u girl! You’re doing it beautifully!! I love that she ain’t affraid of prints, body con silhouettes & color combos! Absolutely love.her.

  77. Girl, you look fabulous! You’re the perfect example of hauteness at any size. Not only is your sense of style on point, but I like your curly hair.

  78. WOWWW! Flawless in every pic! Not a single bad thing I could say about any of the looks :)

  79. I’m usually a lurker but I had to make a comment per Mrs Bliss’s accusations. I don’t know this woman from Eve but I Do know from viewing these pictures that she is fabulous and gorgeous and confident.

  80. Oh God this is such a snooze-fest. I was not trying to be combative, but I will oblige since I am being dragged in kicking and screaming so here goes. This is a blog and you do not post pics on a blog for the world to see without opening yourself up to some form of criticism. Get thicker skin honey? Oh wait you already do!.(now that’s a dig, the other’s weren’t). My comments were directed to your fashion and beauty choices only. At first glance I said oh wow Geechee, then as I look further I get it.!?!? In the words of “Tocarra” – I’m big and beautiful., soooooo I’m gonna slap all these bright colors and bold prints on and sash shay shawntey?? It’s a mess and in no form original! I see this look on every corner and in every department store circular. Andre Leon Talley is size challenged person who wears a Mu-Mu and that is unacceptable! but in his same words, your look – DREAKATUDE honey! Dreakatude.

    I like the Fashion Bomb and I visit the site daily like I do the local and national news sites. It’s my morning coffee, MY REASON for logging on is FOR INSPIRATION, as yours! so don’t kid yourself and if’s you take issue w/ what I am saying as too critical, too bad, it’s your issue so go lay on a long brown couch and talk to some one.

    LAST POST.. ….

  82. SOOOO HAPPY that was mrs bliss LAST POST. Honey lets keep it that way. and after that “LAST POST” still nobody agrees with you and STILL nobody cares that u need to be inspired. LOL But as we said the fashionista sisters are comin boo. You will soon see. Keep doin ur thing Ivory (i dont know her) we will stay part of the group that inspires and let this negative person stay part of the group that NEEDS daily inspiration. LOL so sad….. PS yes mrs bliss this is a fashion website so why take jabs at her physical appearance (thick skin joke)??? So pathetic…. true beauty lies within… and you have showed ALL of fashionbomb that you do not possess that!

  83. also people, if you want to see a positive person that is beautiful inside and out follow the blog of a former fashion bombshell of the day nikole http://www.themoptopmaven.com i absolutely LOVE her blog. But its not for haters or negative people or opinions. SHe is strictly a blogger that loves to shares her positive views on fashion, life, and happiness. I LOVE IT!!!

  84. Loving the style but i would have liked to see some casual postings. All these outfits seems to be from when she was going out.

  85. very pretty girl…and you are working the dresses…it is obvious that you love your life…I’m sure you can’t keep people away from you…do your thing ma.

  86. Mrs. Bliss that long brown couch has your name on it. You have some self confident issues if you have to blast someone on a blog (someone who was chosen to be on the blog because of her style.) more than likely you send pics in every week and havnt got chosen yet thats why you need inspiration. Let me leave you with fashion knowledge. Its not what you wear or where you buy it from its how you wear it..
    This is my last blog… Cause you make me depressed again ivory fly above all the haters. Cause you fly…

  88. your confidence and attitude is INFECTIOUS. i bet you bring happiness everywhere you go because your look, smile, and style just exudes it!! worrrkkk it!!!

  92. where do i begin, i love them all. i love to see a curvy woman in stylish clothing. all i can say is this one here you did it for the TEAM! like the old folks say: you showed up and showed out!

  93. If the bombshell is still watching this post, can you tell how you got ur hair crimpy and big in the first few pics? what products or technique in braiding etc? thanks

  94. @pyt: i use redken’s fresh curls…shampoo, cond and sometimes a leave in
    the green shoes are kathryn amberleigh
    thanks everyone for the compliments/critics :-)

  95. Mrs Bliss, why you mad son? Did anyone say you can’t post? Ivory was being really classy in replies.

    So where do you shop? Please enlighten us.

  96. OK My hair looks about the same length! and ur hair is fab. You should start a hair/fashion blog! really!

  97. Ivory, just like many of us are original in her style. I love that about her. She is part of my glam squad all the way in Memphis, TN. She is a classy, intelligent woman that knows what she likes and she puts it together well. Much love Sis! And gimmie the dress I want please!

  99. WOW guys can you all believe that Mrs bliss is STILL takin jabs at Ivory under the most recent bombshell of the day. SAD!!!!

  103. Love this post. You look great and your confidence is on full blast!

    MrsBliss – you have a right to your own opinion and I respect everything you had to say. Please for the love of God if you post again, please stop using question marks in sentences that do not need it. I’m not sure what that’s about. English is a great language, try using it sometimes:-)

  105. i just found this site but i’m sorry is this a FASHION site? I’m with Mrsbliss…one don’t put yourself out there if you can’t take criticism and i see nothing cute about any of these outfits. they are generic and borderline trashy! no dis to chickie, it’s just not what I personally consider fashionable. i have seen some thick girls do it up…this just wasn’t it…

  107. @ hellifiknow
    style/fashion is subjective. people’s opinions on how they feel i should dress or not liking what i wear as absolutely no affect on me…AT ALL. as i said, i wear what makes me happy and if you don’t agree with it, that’s fine. i’m still gonna do me and do it well. i’m fly and just wanted to share a few pics of my flyness with the fashionbomb world. while i respect all opinions, i could give a flying f%&# if you or anyone else doesn’t appreciate what i’m offering.

  109. Aww, in Europe people dont know to wear beautifull clothes with curves like hers. But she loooks hot ! Love her style. And her hair!!
