If you’ve every visited an American Apparel store and tried to slither your body into one of their more skin clinging spandex dresses, you’d already know that the California based chain doesn’t necessarily fashion clothes with the curvy girl in mind.
L.A.-based plus-size adult star April Flores must have also taken issue with the sizes of the clothes, and asked an American Apparel showroom rep if they’d ever make plus-size clothing. The representative replied, “That’s not our demographic.”
With a name like American Apparel, you’d hope they made clothes that could fit all Americans of all body types. But instead the brand that started off with mainly standard t-shirts and spandex leggings has expanded into a line of micro minis and dresses that reveal every nook and cranny. I’m good, I’ll pass.

Hey Guys!
Our Bombshell of the Day is Yani from Brooklyn:
She says, “I like to describe my style as “street meets chic” because I mix my Brooklyn style with popular trends. I don’t have a favorite store but I love to shop in Soho.”
“… I love accessories. Shoes are my addiction! I can’t live without shoes. As far as footwear, Steve Madden is definitely my favorite brand.”
Brooklyn stand up! Love your colorful shoe choices and your hair! Too cute.

Hey Guys! Cierra from Durham, North Carolina is kicking off our Fashion Bombshell goodness for the week:
She says, “I would describe my style as comfortable and chic.”
“… I have always been a curvy girl, so growing up it was always so hard to find cute clothing that fit my body. In recent years I have learned to embrace my body and find my own personal style.”
” I am grateful for stores such as Evans, Dorothy Perkins, Asos, Torrid, and Faith 21. These stores provide young curvy girls with trendy and affordable clothing.”
” One thing I have learned is that you should always “Try it On”. If the size is not yours, still try it on because it may work for you.”
” I love bold jewelry, body con skirts, blazers and pumps. I want to be an inspiration to plus size women in general. Fashion is a form of expression and I think we should embrace that!”
Cute looks Cierra! Love, love, loving your bold red jacket!

Hey Guys!
Kicking off this week’s Bombshell goodness is Alissa from Brooklyn, NY!
She says, “When it comes to my style, there are two things I embrace everyday: my curvy plus size body and my dark skinned complexion. I love taking conservative pieces and mixing them with funky pieces. I live for big gaudy earrings and necklaces and I love mixing colors.”
“…I almost never leave home without a belt around my waist and you can catch me in 3 inch heels or higher. As a plus size curvy girl I think it’s important to know your body type and to appreciate it.”
“… When shopping, I try everything on even if it is not my size. I am in tune with my body and I know what will fit and what won’t. My favorite stores are Michael Kors, Donna Karan, ASOS, Banana Republic, Dorothy Perkins, Ann Taylor Loft, Evans, Faith 21, Torrid, and Fashion To Figure.”
“… Some people may say my style is a bit conservative, but, I like to say it’s classic chic. I am all for edgy looks, but, to me nothing beats classic style.”
I love your classic style and your adept use of colors! Turns out Alissa also writes a blog for plus size curvy girls called Stylish Curves at www.stylishcurves.blogspot.com. Check her out! Until then, what do you think of her style?

Hey Guys!
Today’s Bombshell is Rachel, owner of hair extension boutique, Hair Addict Online:
She says, ” I consider my style to be understated with subtle touches of surprise, normally with pops of color or interesting patterns.”
“… I try to focus on figure flattering silouhettes as opposed to being uber trendy. I don’t really accessorize much, normally just large earrings, but my favorite accessory of all is my hair. I love to change it up!”
“…I use hair to express my style as much as I do my clothes. So what do you think? Do I have what it takes to be Fashion Bombshell of the Day?”
Of course you do! You certainly know how to work bright colors: your hot pink skirt and yellow sandals are fierce!!

She says, “I currently live in Paris, France but hail from Atlanta/Conyers/Athens, Georgia.”
“My style doesn’t fit into a genre. It’s unique, but classic. Fashion forward, while still keeping within my aesthetic. But above all, I want to always feel good in what I wear.”
“…And I don’t buy a heel under 4 inches.”
Hey Dari! I’ve seen you incorporated the very Parisian trend of stockings with shorts! Love your hipster aesthetic and tie dye scarf.
