16 Curve Fashion Bloggers To Give You All Of The Style Inspo
Blogs are the first, best and easily the most inspiring place to look when it comes to a wardrobe refresh, an outfit overhaul, or just deciding which pair of shoes you should wear with that jacket, and right now it’s the plus-size, body-positive community which is totally slaying the style game.
The high street still has a long way to go with accommodating for all body types, but the blogging world and Instagram itself is full of beautiful gals of all shapes and sizes, who know their signature style AND how to own it. Best of all, there’s strictly no photoshop around these parts to dictate how you and your curves should be dressing - just head to toe incredible looks, motivational attitudes and a shitload of ace body positivity.
Here’s a quick rundown of 16 confident, killer fashion bloggers who are transforming the industry in 2017, one OOTD at a time.
