#plus size styling

[deodatasslawson]

Kibbe nerds, which Kibbe type do you think suits me most? I'm 5'11" (181 cm) for reference (which means I am either pure Dramatic, Soft Dramatic, or Flamboyant Natural since I KNOW I have vertical and need to accomodate vertical, but I am not 100% sure if I need to accomodate curve or width as well as vertical).

Dramatic

Soft Dramatic

Flamboyant Natural

I introduced my friend Amber (@aterrormusical) to plus size styling service Dia&Co because I knew she had some reservations about trying new styles. Amber is a Cleveland-based fashion photographer who I've been lucky to work with many times. She has an amazing creative eye but she doesn't take a lot of risks with her personal style. Amber is around fashion bloggers and models all the time but I wanted to turn the camera back on her.

Watch how Dia&Co helped Amber shake up her personal style! And sign up for Dia&Co here: http://bit.ly/2j2FbGD

fall layering tip:

I love layering for fall, especially collared shirts under sweaters. But I hate when the collared shirt is bulky and makes the sweater look super lumpy! 

One thing I do to prevent this is use a lot of SHEER shirts. The material is often thin enough that it doesn't bunch up under the sweater, but the collars are solid enough to look good. Blousey shirts are also good for this.

I also layer sleeveless collared shirts, especially when it's early autumn like this, when it's not always cool enough to want to wear two long sleeve shirts.

I rarely wear collared shirts without layering so when I am looking at one to buy I really pay attention to the collar detail - do I already have something in that shape/color? If it's long sleeve, also note the cuff detail. 

Sweater layering ideas - collars look great with v-neck or crew necks, also think about sweater vests (or sweater shells) and button up cardigans. As we get deeper into autumn/winter I will be layering blouses with sweaters or sweater vest and a blazer on top. 

Autumn is clearly my favorite time of year! I am the worst at summer and spring.

I really want to practice my styling so I have a goal to do one outfit a day on my form. I won't always be able to do them daily but like tonight I caught up and did three. 

The project I will be posting tomorrow is a kind of "how to" to how I build my outfits. I was talking with a friend of mine and she said that is what she has the most trouble with, building outfits that show her style and are interesting and go together. Today I did a photo set showing how I do it.

I think it would be interesting to record some videos but my apartment/closet/life is such a disaster that I can't have it be filmed. :) 

Anyway I'll try to post an outfit a day, since I only go to school a couple days a week I won't be able to do the real body comparison on all of them. 

My post tomorrow is about how to style that floral sweater, I show it in different combos (my post earlier was not the final!).
