I remember the first season I received a compliment from a complete stranger inside the tents at Bryant Park during New York Fashion Week. I'd spent a lot of time prepping for the events of the week. Every detail was meticulously thought out including accessories, hair and makeup. The compliment I received instantly validated all my hard work, preparation and determination - I was recognized by someone within fashion's orbit for having great style.
The number of sartorial "streetstyle" blogs are growing rapidly - only fueled by the recent success of such bloggers proudly displayed front row at Dolce & Gabbana's recent show in Milan. I appreciate these bloggers for their unique photography skills, eye for detail and their passion for the industry, however why are there never individuals over a size 6 featured on these sites?
Finally, someone has created a site specifically highlighting the well dressed larger ladies (and men!) of NYC. The Manfattan Project utilizes a number of photographers to capture real bodies in real fashion in a real way. You never know, you could be next!
The chain links add just the right amount of flair while the v-neck is sophisticated and flattering. Pair this top with fall boots or flats and you're ready to walk out the door!
I took to the streets of Soho in New York City to ask real women about their wardrobe challenges. What do you try to conceal when you're getting dressed in the morning? What do you try to accent? As an added bonus, I asked these sassy ladies if they could design their perfect outfit, what would it be?
Even though I wasn't able to interview you, I want to know about your wardrobe challenges. Leave them for me in the comments below!
