Hello my loves! Happy new year, Happy Valentines Day, and all the above! I’ve been gone since late last year and I decided to finally make an appearance and bring along a fellow blogger friend. The topic of body type I  believe is important when discussing fashion in the plus size world. The rest of the world doesn’t know this but plus size isn’t a body type or shape its a size category. Therefore this topic on how to dress according to your “curvy” body type is a important one to visit. For starters, knowing your body type is always important when dressing yourself. Hourglass, pear shape, straight, apple and inverted triangle are the identifiable body types and knowing your shape will help you to enhance what I call your asset’s your best. Most women want to identify with the hour glass figure but fail to realize that she may not have that shape and while dressing like so, can do your body no justice even when you are plus size aka curvy! So this is the start of my guide to dressing  your body for you regardless of your beautiful body shape. I have a hourglass figure and I stand 5’9 inches tall. My body is full in the the bust, hip, and thigh areas.I love my body type and I also know what works and does not work for me. Unfortunately the days of ever wearing a top with no bra will probably never come but that’s ok! My blogger friend Neerellyn of SheIsCelestial.com has a pear shape figure and is 5’2 inches tall! Her fuller areas are her hips and derriere. She in turns has a narrow torso. Our bodies are kind of the opposite in terms in height and slightly in shape. So here are some pointers on how to rock some pieces according to your body.

  The Midi Skirt

Rocking a midi skirt can never go wrong no matter your height or weight.Just always add length to your legs while the skirt does the rest. If your are short bring the height in by wearing a heel with height and if you are tall, a heel or flat will be just fine. The skirt hits below the knee and therefore keeping in mind that most of your leg will not show will keep you in tact.

The Jumpsuit

Okay this is most loved but tricky one! There are so many cuts to jumpsuits to make you look flawless. I own so many it’s like my little black dress, ha! In this particular blog we chose fitted and wide leg in terms of leg fit. For my height I know I can get away with a flared leg along with playing up my asset’s of a fuller bust. I have them so hey why not! Overall the jumpsuit elongated my legs and showed off my girls nicely. Neerllyn hugged all her curves and gave a cold shoulder with the cut out shoulder details. This jumpsuit gave her short frame an elongated look with her pumps.

My Look: Jumpsuit and Accessories from Forever 21

Neerellyn’s look: Jumpsuit & Necklance Boohoo, heels from Target

P.S. Yes We Have A Body Type Too! Hello my loves! Happy new year, Happy Valentines Day, and all the above! I've been gone since late last year and I decided to finally make an appearance and bring along a fellow blogger friend.

Hello!

I know, I know I don’t blog like I used to and I only have one excuse, life! I’ve gone through some slight changes in my life and the creative side of me is struggling to stay present. Little by little I’m getting inspired to bring back who I love to be! Here’s a look I pulled together for the current fall season! Here on the west coast , this heat wont let us Californians enjoy a season change. Sometimes it’s hot and sometimes it’s a little cold. So I’ll you show how I manage this fall weather here! I love embracing the fashion of the fall. To the layering,  playing up different fabrics and textures, and to all the colors of the season. Nude color palettes are huge for the entire year in general and has made there way into the current season. This group of barely there yet neutral colors have shown how much they matter in fashion. Dark colors are also a hit to play up in the fall. So here’s a mix of the two. The holidays are quickly approaching and all the parties are hitting off. Stay tuned!

Skirt by Rebdolls

Hello everyone! I know it has been a few months since I have posted here or on any of my other social media accounts. I decided to take a break to focus my energy on other things in my life, but all the while handling business I missed every creative part of me that I decided to put on hold. This blog is like my own child that I created and brought to life so I know that TMARIE STYLES couldn’t become non existent and I must carry it on! So here I am once again. On a another note, after being away for so long I had no idea where to began again! Where to be inspired from, how to express myself and how to get in front of a camera again. So I decided to not overthink everything and to let it all gel together again. There’s no inspiration just me being fashionable and creating something that I call beautiful. There’s a little leg, a little mid drift, some brown lip, and a new hair do! Thanks for still reading my blog. Here’s to the summer, lets make some memories!

Today is the Eve of Christmas and many of us are well into the spirit of the holiday season! Parties are going on, carolers are singing, malls are crowded and the countdown begins to the most wonderful time of the year! Having the perfect outfit to make you stand out in the crowd at that big holiday party is a must. Don’t spare any sequins, red, or extravagant gowns. Go ahead and show it all off amongst all the beautiful holiday decor. I like to sparkle during the holidays and to be as purdy as I can be. I paired a vintage over the top sequined blouse with 80’s flare with my tulle skirt for a show stopping look. This is definitely a look that one would either love or hate. It’s not for the everyday girl, but for that girl who wants to add a little razzle and dazzle! My inspiration was definitely to shine bright like a diamond! Although I didn’t wear this look to an event or party, I was definitely seen from afar and I call that a mission accomplished!

What I’m Wearing:

Top: Diva Express Vintage

Skirt: Etsy Shop Diamond 1668

Shoes: Torrid( not recently purchased)

Pumped Up Kicks

Can you believe I only own about two pairs of sneakers that I can actually wear casually and fashionably?! I’m the type of girl that needs to step her shoe game up in that area one day, but I do have a pair of classic Air Force 1’s. Knowing how girly I am, my significant other made me get a pair and actually wear them. I decided to keep the look sporty, a little sexy, simple, and, one of my…

Life & Love

One day while driving down LaBrea in Los Angeles, I came across a beautiful mural and had to stop to embrace it. A simple message that many of us forget to remember while going through the daily craziness of life. Oddly placed on a busy street, it makes you stop and stare for a quick second. I instantly saw the beauty of this mural because on the artistic side the white paint sliding down the…

Big Blue Skirt

Big, bold, beautiful, and blue! This skirt says all those things plus chic which I love. Wearing color can be so invigorating for me and instantly makes me feels so vibrant. It’s not not the only thing I’m wearing here however, it was my inspiration for bringing everything else together. The slightly high low tea length, clean pleats, raw cut hem, and fabric were the first characteristics of the…

Easy Breezy Beautiful Cover Girl...

Who doesn’t love a free flowing and stylish outfit? Most of all no Spanx needed to suck it all in, just let it all flow and no one has to know! I still feel sexy just being naturally me while staying true to my style. I’ve never been the “curvy” girl to wear all things big and flowing. Hiding my body is not apart of me. It actually feels a little odd yet cool to wear super loose and flowing…
