Blogger Inspiration: Georgina of Cupcake’s Clothes

62 Comments

Editor’s Note: In a funny coincidence, this article – which was supposed to go up two weeks ago – ended up being delayed until today, so it expands upon some of the issues discussed in the plus-sized models post we did yesterday. We didn’t originally intend to post these articles back to back, but we hope this post will help fuel the positive discussions we’ve been having about the issues surrounding fashion and body image.

With the rise of the internet and fashion blogging, today, many of us are more inspired by what we see on the pages of a blog than by fashion magazines. We are inspired by real girls, with real bodies, who look like us, and who create looks we can all emulate.

In this series, I’ve been interviewing some of my favorite fashion bloggers and finding inspiration in their styles. So far, we have met Maria of Lulu Letty, and Elizabeth of Delightfully Tacky. This week, our featured blogger is Georgina of Cupcake’s Clothes.

About Georgina

Georgina of Cupcake's Clothes

After my first two fashion blogger features, many of you commented that you wanted to see inspiration from plus-sized bloggers. Here at CF, we like to represent beauty and style in all shapes and sizes, so for this week’s post, I decided to feature one of my favorite of the (self-described) “Fatshion” bloggers.

Georgina is a girl after my own heart – her style is fun, girly and all from the British High Street. On one hand, she isn’t afraid to try new trends, but on the other, her style remains completely “her.” I love her unexpected clothing combinations and her amazing ability to pair pieces that you’d never think would work together, with fabulous results.

Georgina describes her style as “very unique,” adding, “I love to mix & match key trends with my own cute/quirky twist. Not everyone will like it, but it is inherently me & I love dressing only for myself!” She told us she started her blog after joining “Fatshion” Livejournal groups, and that her self-confidence has grown as a result of finding a community in which “fat people celebrated their bodies, instead of being ashamed.”

Read on to hear more about Georgina, her style, and what inspires her!

Interview with Georgina

More photos of Georgina from Cupcakes Clothes

1. Tell us a little bit about yourself (who you are, what you do, where you’re from, etc.).

“I’m Georgina, I’m 21 & from the UK. I have a fa(t)shion blog called Cupcake’s Clothes. I also run a little online jewellery store called Dolly Mixx.”

2. How would you define your style?

“My style in two words is quirky & cute. I love bows, bright colours, frills, lace, pastels, bunnies (especially on clothing!). I like to combine these elements into different looks. Some people have said that my outfits look lolita-inspired, which I’d say is probably true for most of them. I just buy whatever I like, & put things together in my own way. My staple outfit, though, is a dress, cardigan, tights & ballerina pumps.”

3. What inspired you to start a style blog? What motivates you?

“I joined the Fatshionista Livejournal community in 2009, & it helped me realize that just because I don’t look like a model, that doesn’t mean I can’t dress well. I started posting outfit photos there, & generally got a positive reaction, which helped my self esteem. Eventually I started Cupcake’s Clothes to have somewhere of my own to post. I’m not sure I’d call it a ‘style blog’ though. It’s true I post mainly outfit shots there, but it’s more to showcase my own style, than to preach or influence others.”

4. What makes your blog different than those of other bloggers? How do you demonstrate your individuality through your blog?

“I’m not really sure that my blog is different from any other blog, other than the fact that I’m a different person behind the text & photos. I demonstrate my individuality best through my outfits, rather than the text.”

5. Did you go to college? What was your college experience like?

“I did go to college (Editor’s Note: In the UK, “college” usually refers to the UK equivalent of US high school, while “university” usually refers to post-secondary education), but not university. I studied art & design, which was enjoyable, much more so than school. I’d love to go to university though, I’d imagine the experience would be much more intense.”

6. Where do you like to shop?

“I basically always shop online, there is so little plus size choice on the high street, & it is usually cheaper too, as discount codes are usually fairly easy to come by. My favourite places to shop online are ASOS (namely from their Curve range), Littlewood’s, Simply Be, Dorothy Perkins, & Evans.”

7. What advice do you have for students looking to be stylish on a college budget?

“I’d say to pick & choose pieces carefully, & make sure that they work with other items in your wardrobe. As a student, I never had bountiful amounts of clothes, but the pieces I did have could all be interchanged with each other, creating multiple outfits on a tiny budget. I wasn’t the most stylish of students though, hehe! Nowadays I do tend to go a little crazy & buy almost anything I like, because I hate regretting not buying something I like!”

8. Who or what inspires you?

“I don’t have just one answer to this question, because there are many many people whose fashion blogs I follow, or am a fan of on LookBook, etc. Most of my inspiration just comes from my own likes – I don’t try to dress like other people. Of course there are certain pieces I see on other people’s blogs, or ways in which they are wearing items that I might not have seen before that inspire me, but most of the time I just go on what looks aesthetically pleasing to my eye.”

9. What are the pieces you can’t live without?

“Knitwear is my number one answer here. I love knitwear; I wish I could knit well so I could knit myself everything I ever dreamed of!”

10. What advice do you have for new bloggers or people considering starting a style blog?

“You have to be committed to whatever it is you are blogging about, because it is harder work than it looks. I myself am guilty of not posting as much as I would like, but blogging does suck up a lot of time. If you are passionate though, you will be okay.”

11. What advice can you give to bigger girls on finding their own sense of style?

“I really am useless at giving advice, but definitely visit the Fatshionista Livejournal. It helped me, it can help you too!”

12. Where do you think the future is headed for plus size girls within the fashion industry? Do you think bloggers have had an impact on how plus size fashion is perceived? What would you like to see change in the future?

“Hopefully there will be more & more fashion options for fat people. The start of ASOS Curve, & also the H&M ‘Inclusive line’ are signs that some major fashion retailers are starting to take a look in our direction, & realizing that fat people need clothes too, & not just shapeless sacks! I’m not sure if bloggers have had an impact on this, I haven’t really been part of the fatshion blogging community long enough to tell. (My blog is only a year old!) Blogging does make us visible to the retailers though, & I can only hope they do take note of what their customers want.”

13. Since you’re British (like me!), how would you define British style? How do you think it compares with the styles seen in other countries?

“I haven’t visited enough countries to really compare our fashion/style with anywhere else’s. I will say that the UK does seem to have the most fashion-forward clothes for plus size girls, compared to some of the offerings I have seen in other countries’ online shops. The UK still has plenty of room for improvement, though!”

How to Dress Like Georgina

Fashion inspiration - Georgina of Cupcakes Clothes

1. Keep it girly.

Georgina’s style is very girly and feminine, featuring lots of tulle, lace and pastel colors. She also lives in light, airy skirts and dresses – you never see her in jeans or pants on her blog!

2. Play with layering.

Even in the middle of summer, England isn’t the warmest country, but instead of just throwing on a coat and jeans to battle the weather, Georgina integrates cardigans, tights, and jackets into her summer outfits. She is a huge fan of cute, feminine cardigans and classic opaque tights.

3. Be aware of trends, but stay unique.

One thing I love about Georgina’s blog is that she does follow trends, but gives them her own twist. She definitely loved the nude trend last year, and I love her interpretation of the lace sock trend.

4. Fashion should be fun!

If I had to pick one word to describe Georgina’s style, it would definitely be fun. Her outfits are well put together, but they always have an unexpected, exciting element, like clashing shoes or mixed prints. She demonstrates that style doesn’t have to be a chore, but that by putting surprising pieces together you can come up with something great.

5. Accessorize!

All of Georgina’s outfits are perfectly polished with accessories – she even rocks gorgeous nail art to finish off her looks! This girl really makes the effort to look “done” with cute headbands, belts and her trademark glasses.

Outfits Inspired by Georgina

dress/cardigan/tights/ballet flats/cupcake bracelet/headband

This outfit is perfect if you like Georgina’s pretty, girly style. I love this pink lace dress, especially when paired with the feminine cardigan and ballet flats. (The dress would look equally great with a leather jacket and military boots, if edgy chic is more your thing!) Finally, I couldn’t resist adding a cupcake bracelet for a nod to Georgina’s site!

Like Georgina’s fun, bright looks? This is the outfit for you. I love the vibrant pink of this shirt, and it looks great against this polka dot cardigan, which represents a perfect way to add patterns and prints to any simple outfit. I also added bow-embellished flats, and this cute, kitschy ring for a fun little touch.

    I’ve seen her on Lookbook. Her style is very cute and girly.

    I have no problems of plus sized people.

    But I am really annoyed by how people say that this is NORMAL, REAL, and HEALTHY.

    We openly criticize people for being too thin, but worry about being politically incorrect when someone is clearly obese.

    If we can tell overly think girls that they are too thin, they need to gain more pounds, then we can tell obese girls to lose fat.

    I just find the current phenomenon of telling girls that size 16 people are healthy, real and beautiful, very UNHEALTHY. Yes, just as unhealthy as the anorexic models on magazine covers.

    cute style btw.

    March 11th, 2011 at 4:37 pm

    Great find! Her style is so similar to mine, even though I’m not a big girl I will be looking to her blog for inspiration.

    Not to attack someone plus sized, but am I the only one who see’s she wears the exact same outfit formula in every featured photo. Cute yet, but not an ‘innovative style blogger’. Every outfit is flouncy skirt+tucked in sweater+flats=style. Yes, her style is cute but is this any different than someone wearing Jeans+tshirt or uggs+sweats. It’s cute clothes but definitely redundant . I wish College Fashion could have showed a plus sized girl with more varying outfit selections.

    Her style is cute and quirky, but I don’t agree with her idea “fatshion” and unhealthy lifestyles being “celebrated”. I don’t think overweight people should be shamed, but their lifestyle shouldn’t be promoted. I may catch flack for this but weight and weight related illnesses are a serious issue at the moment.

  10. 10
    March 11th, 2011 at 4:52 pm

    I agree with Samlam, I love her outfits, but they are all exactly the same.

  11. 11
    March 11th, 2011 at 5:08 pm

    Her outfits are cute but not flattering to her shape. they make her look wider and shorter than she is.

  12. 12
    March 11th, 2011 at 5:16 pm

    “If we can tell overly think girls that they are too thin, they need to gain more pounds, then we can tell obese girls to lose fat.”

    Or, maybe we should stop telling everyone what they need to do. True, it’s important to be aware of the health risks that go along with being an above- or below-average body weight. But no one has the right to make anyone else feel ashamed of their own body.

    that editors note about college is incorrect, yes some post primary scools are called colleges but can also be post secondary, it’s just theres a difference between colleges and universities

    March 11th, 2011 at 5:23 pm

    while her outfits are cute and she definitely knows how to mix colors and patterns her outfits are very consistent and she does not give variety. I would also like to add that people who are naturally very thin are also normal! While we may be a minority and the average woman has shape and curves (which I am very envious of!), I would like to think that we could also be included in this “norm”.

  15. 15
    March 11th, 2011 at 5:38 pm

    I like her look, and I know some people are saying they are not flattering, but I totally disagree. She is 100% comfortable with her size and is not afraid to be big and bold with what she wears. Kudos to her!

  16. 16
    March 11th, 2011 at 5:43 pm

    Also- I AM PRETTY SURE SHE IS AWARE OF HER SIZE AND THE RISKS. As are everyone else. I personally am a healthy weight, but I eat like crap- noone comments on my health, and that’s stupid. Just because you are heavier, or thinner, does not mean you are more unhealthy than a “healthy” sized person.

  17. 17
    March 11th, 2011 at 5:56 pm

    Are the comments saying all her outfits look the same related to the fact that she wears skirts and tops often? I’m pretty sure CF has covered that wearing a kind of “uniform” in your unique style is a good thing.
    Also, I agree with Marlene. We shouldn’t have to tell a girl that being too thin or too heavy is bad; as long as they are healthy and happy just let them live their lives.

    Anyway, I adore her style. It is so similar to mine. I will definitely bookmark her blog. Thanks CF for featuring her!

    “But no one has the right to make anyone else feel ashamed of their own body.”

    not only are we not pointing out health risks to those affected individuals, we are promoting this kind of unhealthy image to the younger generation who are growing up thinking size 16 is normal and healthy, and if anyone says that is not, they are making others “feel ashamed of their own body”

    there’s this whole talk about the media and its influence on how people look at their body and health, and it is mostly concentrated on anorexia, but no one dares to say a thing about obesity while obesity is much more a problem and kills many more people.

    those that say dress size doesn’t matter and that you can be beautiful in any size are often those who also label the skinny models as bad influences.

    I agree with Samlam, too. It’s great that G has fun with fashion, but it’d make sense to feature a blogger who dresses for their body type. G’s looks do make her look far wider than she must truly be, as Josie has mentioned.
    All in all, I am not inspired by this blogger at all- but I do like the outfit suggestions (probably because they are not being worn by someone with the wrong shape for them). For me, it’s all about PRESENTATION… If the ‘model’ or whoever wering the clothes does not look flattered by them, then I lose interest. That’s my two cents :)

  20. 20
    March 11th, 2011 at 7:12 pm

    i have to agree – g’s outfits aren’t exactly the most flattering for her shape.
    but i kind of feel that’s part of the POINT behind her fashion choices: she doesn’t CARE if the clothing she wears is considered the ‘best choice for her body;’ she wears clothing that she likes because she likes it, and that’s it. the whole point behind ‘flattering’ clothing is that it’s designed to hide what we perceive as our flaws. i say, if she can rock an outfit without feeling self conscious in it, go for it! that sort of outlook on clothing is something i feel everyone – of every size – needs a little more of.

  21. 21
    March 11th, 2011 at 7:46 pm

    Now her style has some personality! She’s probably my favorite I’ve seen in a while. Those bright colors and fun prints really remind me how fun it is to be a girl. :]

  22. 22
    March 11th, 2011 at 7:53 pm

    @ melisa

    Seriously, you CANNOT tell how healthy someone is by LOOKING at them. That’s judgmental in the extreme.
    There are plenty of bigger girls who exercise and eat right, and there are plenty of skinny girls who binge eat, smoke and have never seen the inside of a gym. You are not automatically sickly because you’re skinny OR fat, that’s pure, straight up bullshit. You’re judging a book by it’s cover and you’re not a position to do so.

    March 11th, 2011 at 8:12 pm

    Oooh, her style is really cute and feminine! :) I think it reminds me of the Japanese Sweet Lolita style. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothic_lolita#Sweet_Lolita

    Its great that she’s rocking her clothes and style with such confidence!

    Like we ever limit talking about alcohol because we’re afraid of promoting an unhealthy lifestyle, like we ever tell people to stop eating bio genetically engineered fruits… come off it. This is sizeism at isn’t finest and most of these girls here are only toning down their resentment of plus-sized girls. I can’t even imagine what they think when they see them walking down the street.
    Girls, people out there don’t agree with the things that you do. Some of them want you to remain celibate, some of them want you in the kitchen, some want you to tone down your style… are you going to listen to them? No. Because people who say that to you are usually uninformed and insecure.
    How would you feel if someone called your a skank for wearing a short skirt? Or poor for wearing torn jeans? Or a delinquent for dying your hair black?
    This what you’re doing. You know nothing about these women’s lifestyles and you’re making judgments on them. You’re telling them that they shouldn’t be happy with themselves. You’re telling them that they’re doing something wrong even though you know NOTHING about them.
    My biggest pet peeve used to be ingratitude, now it’s definitely girl-on-girl hate.

    March 11th, 2011 at 10:01 pm

    I was sooooo excited to see this posted! I suggested featuring Georgina’s blog a few weeks ago since she is my favorite fashion blogger. But I think this will be my last time ever reading CF. Or at least the comments. It just isn’t a good place for someone of my size. I’m trying to limit this type of negativity in my life.

  27. 27
    March 11th, 2011 at 11:05 pm

    @Krista Don’t let other people’s negativity stop you from reading CF. I too noticed that since CF began featuring plus-sized models people have been leaving unnecessary and judgmental comments. But the attitudes portrayed in the comments are definitely not reflected in the posts. I feel like the foundation of CF is that it is a site that is positive and empowering resource for women and I’d hate for people to read the comments on recent posts and think otherwise. I think it is an unfortunate reality is that there will always be negativity that surrounds us but we just have to choose not to absorb it.

    And as far as Georgina’s style, I think it works well for her. She looks confident and comfortable. I think her outfits are flattering on her. I would consider myself average but curvy and I also like to wear skirts and dresses with belts. It gives me a more defined waist and more of that hour glass figure.

    March 11th, 2011 at 11:17 pm

    Why feature a plus sized blogger accompanying it with outfits inspired by them but not made up of plus sized clothing??

  29. 29
    March 12th, 2011 at 12:23 am

    I was originally brought to the comments page to say how completely fantastic this girl is. Her choices of patterns and playfulness of texture is really unique. Her style speaks volumes about her personality.

    However, once I got here I was really disturbed by all the judgement and hate. Stop the hate. Speak with respect.

  30. 30
    March 12th, 2011 at 1:14 am

    I think her style is really cute! I’ll definitely check out her blog.

    For those who pointed out that her outfits are always the same formula and not “innovative”, keep in mind that this girl is dressing for herself, whatever makes her happy, and not trying to be cutting edge and fashion forward for the enjoyment of blog readers.

  31. 31
    March 12th, 2011 at 1:20 am

    Love her style- and love the pink lace dress in the suggested outfit! But the link is broken, does anyone know who sells it??? Thanks!

    March 12th, 2011 at 3:30 am

    Her style is SO SO cute! Oh my goodness. I would die to have her closet and style. In love with the bows, ribbons, and over-the-top girly in a wonderful sense.

  33. 33
    March 12th, 2011 at 4:14 am

    I love this post. I appreciate that collegefashion showcases a wide range of different girls styles not matter what shape or size they are. I myself am a plus size girl and this really inspires me to feel care free and proud of being a full figured girl.

    Regarding other comments above, I agree that promoting an unhealthy lifestyle is not right. And I also agree that if we have the right to judge girls that are too thin then people have the right to tell obese girls to lose weight. But I believe that the reason for this post was not promote obesity, but to promote empowerment! To not be afraid of who you are not caring if your the thinnest of thinnest or fattest of fattest all while

    Caryl, you took the words right out of my mouth!

  36. 36
    March 12th, 2011 at 6:34 am

    Interesting. I was expecting a US blogger for some reason, but as soon as I saw Georgina’s pictures I could tell she was from the UK. It’s a girlier take on British style than I would wear, but I would definitely take inspiration from it.

    I find it pretty strange that a few people in the comments are suggesting there’s something wrong with promoting images of a plus-sized model on health grounds. I’m all for promoting health-consciousness but a thin model doesn’t automatically equate to healthy. Besides, feeling comfortable in your own skin is emotionally healthy, and that’s just as important in my opinion.

  37. 37
    March 12th, 2011 at 8:12 am

    @Caryl & Emily: The outfits but together are just suggestions or ”idea templates” to guide inspiration for outfits of your own. They are not telling you to buy from those stores and I’m sure you can similar items in other stores that carry a broader range of sizes, if CF did not suggest them.

    …Thanks CF I was looking for some inspiration! I must say this girl has style. I believe it s a balance of Lolita and regular girly styles. Liotta I always feel IS WAY too much excess, just like on the other end of the spectrum of extreme Goth kids, but she found a balance. Her style isn’t really me because I feel personally I would look so costume-y and I’m more preppy. But on her, its fits her so well. I would actually wear the second outfit Charollote suggested. It looks like so much fun <:oD

    MY 2 CENTS: I cannot really relate to her in body shape, size, or style, but funny how I noticed her style first because that what she is promoting and this is coming from someone who is a size zero. I just think someone brought up a Red Herring that seems to relate but, doesn’t really relate to the post at all.

    Like CF, and several others, I share the disbeilf in in ANY distinct fashion rules. If everyone followed those rules they would look all the same and quite boring. If no one broke the rules we would have no Karla’s closet( who also doesn't belive in fashion laws) or Carrie Bradshaw’s. Any the rules are so general there is no way they can apply to everyone. Either it works for you or it doesn’t. At least try it.

  38. 38
    March 12th, 2011 at 11:47 am

    I love her style! It’s a bit girlier than mine, but I feel like I can definitely be inspired by it because I, too, wear a lot of skirts and dresses with tights. I also love how she seems to have a signature bow/flower headband. Great touch!

    But yeah, I think I’m with Krista on this one; I don’t know that I’ll be reading CF comments again any time soon. I am not plus size, but it makes me SO ANGRY to see people saying that thin girls are great and fat girls are not and only the thin ones deserve to feel good about themselves. I really appreciate that the authors of these articles are very respectful; I just wish commenters could realize that just because THEY equate thinness to self-worth, not everyone should.

    March 12th, 2011 at 12:28 pm

    Thanks CF for doing a blog about Georgina! I’m a huge fan of her site because her style is absolutely adorable (and she takes great pictures!). It’s awesome to see another blog I read on here. As well, thank you for the very positive tone of the post.

  40. 40
    March 12th, 2011 at 1:27 pm

    I just want to say, if she feels comfortable about what she is wearing then who are we to judge? Healthy or unhealthy is a separate issue entirely – CF is a fashion website so can we just focus on the clothes?!

  41. 41
    March 12th, 2011 at 1:32 pm

    I think it’s fantastic that she’s found a “uniform”! I’d bet that it takes her hardly any time to get ready in the morning and that she walks out her door feeling like a million dollars! She’s got such a distinct and beautiful style, and I can say that I am completely envious of her confidence in her own fashion choices! Whether you’re skinny or curvacious, why not be big and bold?
    Also, whether or not people are aware of their decisions, it’s not our place to point it out to them, and in such a disrespectful manner!
    Women have worked so hard to get to where we are today, and we should be using this force to empower each other, not point out flaws and constantly critique.
    Why not live tactfully and courteously?

  42. 42
    March 12th, 2011 at 3:58 pm

    her style is very cute and girly!

    I do think that, apart from being a pus size example, this girl in here has a severe case of obesity, which is obviously not healthy! But i don’t want to put a lot of emphasis on that because maybe she has a condition that makes her look like that, who knows!
    If she is confortable, is amazing and I admire that, but she needs to take care of her body!

  43. 43
    March 12th, 2011 at 4:24 pm

    She’s got a great sense of style! I love the whole skirt-tights-cardigan-flats look, since I can’t really wear heels at my school and I can never find jeans that fit me well. The girls accents are cute as well (:

  44. 44
    March 12th, 2011 at 5:30 pm

    I’m a size 0, and I ADORE her style! I am definitely going to copy a few of these looks. Good for her for being so confident and not using weight as an excuse to forego fashion!

    I know plenty of plus sized girls that just hide anyway in baggy sweatshirts and jeans, and THIS girl ought to be inspiration to all of them!

    I stumbled across her blog a few months ago– love her bold and girly style! She also does the most amazing nail art :)

    I find it interesting that the outfit ideas in a post about a plus size fashion blogger aren’t plus sized themselves. Hum…

    I was SO happy seeing this post and came to leave a comment about how great it was to see someone of Georgina’s size with great style.

    I think all of you who commented on her being overweight and that this is promoting an unhealthy lifestyle are ridiculous. She knows what she looks like and how her health is, sometimes it’s just how someone is. The thing is, she is realistic about herself, she could hate herself for being that weight or she could celebrate it. I’m sure she’s realized that she’s gotten to that weight and that it might not be healthy (it might be fine for her, really who are we to say?) Why feel like shit when you could feel great and dress in a way that makes you happy? I think of it like this. I have a job. I don’t feel like working, but i have to, so why not make the best of it and enjoy what i can of it? It’s no different. She looks awesome.

    I have to say that I came her to write this: I have struggled with weight for years, using starvation as a way of losing weight and stressing as soon as I gain a few pounds. I am by no means fat, but seeing this post made me realize that even if I did gain weight again, I could find a way to look amazing, just like Georgina! She inspired me so much to own what you are and celebrate how you look and be happy.

    I think her style is very cute and feminine and I love it!

    I don’t really get why people wanted the example outfit to be plus sized – CF is about style, not the person’s figure. If you liked the blogger’s outfits, you can buy similar ones in your own size. On other posts featuring people’s styles, should they make the example outfits all in the exact size of the person being featured? I think not. There’s no need to have only plus sizes in the clothing example. This was not a “plus size only” post!

    I think she has an adorable style!
    Honestly let’s all think about these negative comments.
    1) Georgina is obviously confident and her style shows it. NO ONE has thw right to say she needs to lose weight or that she is obese. I’m sure she is aware of her own body. YOU do NOT know her like that, YOU are not her mother, and you don’t know if she is already working on losing weight.
    2) CF is about fashion, and how others sense of fashion can inspire others. It doesn’t matter what shape or size you are. You go to fashion shows and the models are just skin and bones and you still buy there clothes or get inspired by them! It doesn’t matter who is wearing the clothes, if you can work it then you got it.
    3) Obviously some of these pathetic negative commenters must be self concious in some ways to be negative towards others.
    4) By being negative towards Georgina, you have not only may have affect G herself, but you have also affected others, skinny or curvy.

    And I would just like to say one last thing
    IF YOU HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY, DON’T SAY IT. think before you say something and hopefully you can also be as confident as G herself.

    I say live and let live. Her style is cute and definitely all hers, and she clearly loves herself which is more than many others who are not considered obese can say. Go girl! <3

    I unfortunately agree with Krista’s earlier comment and i will no longer be reading CF. I’m sick of the hate! Do you think tearing someone down in a comment is going to change their life? FYI if someone is overweight or obese i’m 110% sure they know! Your annoying and down right mean girl comments are disgusting! I’m sorry but i will no longer be supporting this website

    I just want to say that I’m borderline plus-sized (around size 14) and I think it’s awesome that any girl (especially a plus sized one) has the confidence to write a blog and share her style. I think her style is a little too girly for me, but her confidence is inspirational. Thanks CF for featuring it.

    I don’t think this post really ‘promotes’ plus-size girls and fashion, like some of you have said, I think it just shows a different side to what we typically see on CF and in magazines etc.
    also, just wanted to say something about the college thing. In the UK, college(or sixth-form) would usually be the equivalent to the last two years of high school in the US.

    I LOVE the fact that she wears colors! :) Skirts & cardigans are my favorites, as well!

    I love her unexpected clothing combinations and her amazing ability to pair pieces that you’d never think would work together, with fabulous results.
