Given the current style and the number of women with curves today, I wanted to introduce you to a series of bloggers with amazing style and fresh looks. They’re not only killing the game right now, they’re also challenging it. As the Curvy Fashionista, I’m in love with plus-size style and the women who inspire me daily; it’s something I’ve have built my work around. We know it’s important to show women’s style in all shapes, sizes and colors. But too often, curvy and plus-size women aren’t represented.  

Enter the game-changers: us, you, them. We’re changing the game. All of you reading this column are changing the game—daily. Remember, style is personal. It’s not about size, it’s not about money. It’s about the expression of ourselves. In the first of this series, I showcase some of the amazing sisters I know who rock their curves with passion, grace and style.

Chastity Garner of GarnerStyle.blogspot.com

Stylist and icon, Chastity Garner gives real women real hope. I love her candor, how she styles herself, and her perspective on fashion and life. She challenges the status quo head on and looks gorgeous doing it. 

Amarachi Ukachu of  AmarachiUkachu.com

Always daring and pushing the envelope, I love how Amarachi Ukachu wears items we don’t see everywhere. She’s the epitome of someone creating new trends and working outside of the box. Not to mention, she’s sewing and creating the looks when she can’t find them in her size.

Alissa Wilson of StylishCurves.com

At her site, Alissa Wilson brings photos of her style, and also features the latest events. As well, she covers interesting news about famous plus-size women and features other stylish sisters on her blog.

Franceta Johnson of francetajohnson.com

Besides having chic style, Franceta Johnson has a wonderful blog. She also happens to be an amazing graphic designer. Franceta started changing the game with her witty posts and style featuring accessible items that everyday women can afford.

Kim of thenaturalfashionista.com

You may know Kim by way of her YouTube channel. From style Q&A sessions to in-depth hair tutorials, Kim offers an array of plus-size fashion while incorporating her love of natural hair and beauty knowledge.

Angel Laws of angelonfire.com

Angel Laws is the founder of ConcreteLoop.com and an amazing blogger and teacher of all things digital. Thing is, when you see Angel, you’re mesmerized by her fashion sense of style and her head wraps! I’m a Stan of her unique jewelry pieces and accessories. 

There we have it: the first installment of our featured stylish, plus-size, curvy online fashionistas. Please be sure to stop by their sites and show them love. I’ll be featuring another set of bloggers next month, so stay tuned and let me know which curvy bloggers you’re following!
