A few thoughts...

There are a few essentials to every girls wardrobe, skinny or not. A few good handbags, some nice pumps and the perfect pair of jeans! I started this blog to write about being trendy and chic while living "plus". Far too often people think that because you you do not wear a  sze six you cannot be fashion forward. One can live fashionably at any size!!!  The fashion workd is fast changing to accomodate the plus size lady with many stores such as Forever 21 bridging the gap with their plus size lines. The blog is also not solely going to be about fashion but also food, travel, photography and lifestyle.

Who says that just because you wear a size sixteen you can't take fashion risks or be fashon forward.I'm a huge fan of everything over the top, elaborate and down right gaudy in some cases. Some of my favorite designers include Marc Jacobs, Heatherette, Alice+Oliva and Betsey Johnson and while I may not be always able to fit their clothes thee accessories give my wardrobe the extra edge. Fashion is about experimenting, making mistakes and finding what works best for you.A well thought out and executed outfit should always express your personal style. 


I sincerely hope that you enjoy The Chubby Ballerina and it brings inspiration to living life...fabulously!
