OOTD: " Im Back"

Hey everyone i know I've been away for way too long, But i promise i will fill you all in very soon in the next coming posts. Today i will just like to share a quick "Outfit of the day" from a few days ago of me purchasing and wearing my first jumpsuit ever, I felt that with having a belly that a jumpsuit would never be flattering on me, That is until my sweet mother gave me a gift card to Macy's this past Christmas and i just kept it in my wallet for a few months because i have never really shopped at Macy's and really didn't know if they even sold plus size clothing. One day on my day off i decided to stop in to look at some perfume or makeup being that my gift was for only $50.00, while looking around i stopped a employee and simply asked if they carried  plus size clothes and to my surprise she said yes and pointed me in the right direction, Of course as expected the section was very small and had a lot of blouses for grandma, But on one rack were two jumpsuits that caught my eye and made me want to try them on. I decided on the one on the right because i felt a little more comfortable that it was a bit more busy and hides my tummy a little better then the other But after I have wore it a few times i kind of wish i would have got the other or if not both, But still love it and glad i took a chance on this jumpsuit.

 Jumpsuits : Macy's $70.00

Pumps: Kmart (Don't sleep on them lol)
Earrings : Flea market

                               Here's a little of what you can expect from "Curvy Phenoms"

MEET THE SPOTLIGHT "AaNala"

What inspired you to pursue plus size modeling?
I was always classed as a “pretty face” and told that I would look “so much better” if I lost weight. I have a medical condition and not many people know that, but folks are always quick to judge.  I have struggled with my self image since childhood and being East Indian and looking completely different to other women of my race was very tough growing up and still is to this day. I came across some very confident plus sized women and wanted so much to be like them.  These women inspired me…and in turn when I started doing photo shoots and fashion shows, I was inspiring others!  I no longer wanted to hide and be ashamed…I wanted to be proud just like them. 

How many years of experience do you have modeling?
I only have about 2.5 years of experience.  Because of my height I am very restricted, however I continue to do test shoots and network when I can as the Petite Plus market is still very new and has a way to go.  I’m hoping it flourishes one day just like the Plus market has over the last few years.

 What are your goals as a plus model?
I want to continue testing my limits in front of the camera and eventually be able to model clothing or jewelry for up and coming designers for in-store advertising, catalogs or on their websites.   All I need is a designer or a store to give this Petite Plus girl a chance ;-)
  
Who /What is your inspiration?
I have many inspirations. There are women in the mainstream who I see on TV or online modeling for stores where I shop, to plus size designers, to the women I have met in person and had the privilege of working alongside.

 Who are your favorite Plus size designers/Retailers?
I am not a big spender when it comes to clothes so I go for affordable retailers.  I like to shop at Ashley Stewart, Fashion to Figure, and once in a while I’ll find something great in the clearance racks at Torrid.  I do love the items higher end plus designers put out also but I just can’t see myself spending that kind of money unless it’s an “I HAVE to have it” item!


 What is your favorite fashion Trend this year? (Optional)
I love High-Low skirts and dresses as well as the Peplum tops that I am seeing more and more in the stores.  They are flattering and look good on almost anyone.
 Favorite quote of all time
“You must be the change you wish to see in the world” – Mahatma Gandhi 

Do you have any upcoming events we should look out for?
Not yet, but I’m hopeful that something will come up J
