Curves Around The World: Neon

 

Good Evening, Friends!!!

 

Its Wednesday and you know what that means :)

Yes, Curves Around The World themed plus size outfits!!!

 

Its no different this week as well .... Our theme is NEON!!!

I love bright colours and the suit my skin colour perfect (that's what I think - esp. when convincing myself to wear more bright colours, lol).

 

This week I decided to feature Chubby Cartwheels famous bandeau. The bandeau's HOT PINK colour qualifies for our theme. On my last post I paired this bandeau with a bodycon skirt and this time around I decided on pairing with pants to show the versatility of this Chubby Cartwheels bandeau.

 

I get inspired by Shawna and working with her and also dressing her designs has really assisted me in enhancing myself's body love and also spreading the word to all of you - emphasizing to love yourselves so much the way you are RIGHT NOW.

 

By wearing pants with this bandeau I am trying to show you its ok to just live in the moment and be yourself. Also in need to say - its ok to show some skin. I know, my tummy is not flat and all but I comfortable to just show it anyway.

 

I must say, I am getting much more comfortable with myself taking, looking at and posting my pictures showing my imperfections to all of you because ive grown to love and accept them as they are.

 

As much as I promote being healthy but I am sorry - I am not gonna wait until I am 50kgs lighter to love myself. I love myself NOW, tomorrow and definately on the day Id lose that much weight. Happiness, Self love and positivity will definately help me get to my goal weight cause stress will do the opposite.

 

I say NO  to STRESS and BODY NEGATIVITY...

 

"Cheers to Body Positivity RIGHT NOW,

regardless of imperfections!!!"

 

Hope you love my small dose of NEON :)

Chubby Cartwheels - Bodysuit PART1

Good Evening, Guys!!!

 

I am excited about tonight's post because I am reviewing and styling an item from one of the talented Plus Size Designer and that would be Shawna Farmer.

 

Shawna is the face behind Chubby Cartwheels  an online shop selling awesome pieces for the plus size community. Her sizes range from 1X to 5X. This is comforting because she is not just designing for plus size but accommodates everyone else who normally doesn't get accommodated at usual clothing stores. That's awesome on its own :)

 

I have seen people wearing her velvet crop tops in plus size blogging world but never visited her store or knew about her - I always assumed whoever wore them bought them from the usual plus size shops from overseas. Maybe I never really paid attention becauese I knew at the back of my mind id never be able to get them as they are far.

 

 Surprisingly, a month ago Shawna approached me requesting a collaboration and I was gobsmacked realising she was the face behind the crop tops I always loved from other bloggers.

 

Ofcoz, I agreed and thanked her so much for approaching me. We discussed about what she can send me and debates carried on and on as I was in love with everything she designs even outfits that she designs for herself. Because our collaboration is continuous the pressure to decide subsided and came down to the bodysuit she is selling online and the bandeau also available in her store only because it is summer over her. Mesh bodysuit and the velvet bandeau seemed to be perfect choices for now.

 

For each piece of clothing she sent: I came up with 3 outfits for each (bodysuit and bandeau) - showing how fun and versatile her pieces are.

 

You will notice from my pictures that the bodysuit Shawna sent me is not the same as the one in her online shop - mine has got some sleeves and the online one is sleeveless. This is because, Shawna is a peoples designer. She is totally interested in making women look and feel good about themselves and that comes with feedback from the buyer on how they like a certain item to fit them and Shawna makes it possible.

 

In short, as much as Shawna sells clothes in her online store as they are shown - you have an option to customise designs as you wish for an example by adding sleeves on bodysuits or request longer length when buying her skater skirts. This service comes with a little of extra fee from the prices shown online.  This is great because at the end of the day you get your dream item and therefore, everyone wins :)

 

Review

 

All I can say, this woman is super talented!!! She never saw me in person before but the sizes I estimated for her were spot on. I estimate sizes because my body can fit into anything ranging 16 to 24 depending on the design. Both piece were a perfect fit. So, if you tell her about your dynamics when shopping she surely can come with a perfect size for you. Her pieces are of high quality. The bodysuit is made from Mesh and the bandeau from Velvet. Excellent quality. 

 

My bodysuit size is 2x and the bandeau size is 1/2 and that fits anyone who wears size 14 up to size 24. Another option is 3/4 and that's for the ladies wearing size 24 - 32 or having larger bust so to say. I chose vibrant colours, its summer right? Plus they look great against my skin :)

 

This woman is down to earth and colourful. She has a great attitude and highly inspirational because she doesn't only designs these clothes but she wears them too (Stylish Momma. She also promotes that everyone gets comfortable with their body and actually appreciate and love them. As it is so difficult to do that nowadays with a highly judgemental society.

 

 I am humbled to work with this lady - it feels like ive known her for years and that is how approachable Shawna is.

 

You can check her and her designs on her facebook page , Chubby Cartwheels Facebook Page, Chubby Cartwheels Instagram -  she blogs too :) this is her blog, check it out!!! I will give you her Twitter and Tumblr Account links on my next post: I had a difficulty linking them in this one or you can voluntary check them for now, I am sorry :) 

 

If you see a beautiful, red haired and vibrant lady that's Shawna. Please do follow her on these social pages: few people care about plus size fashion and promotion of self love. Because she has started paving the way for us, lets support her 100% and meet her half way - please don't forget about her Awesome Online Shop - visit it and spoil yourself. You will never regret :)

 

Ok, as for styling the bodysuit: I guess you will have to see that yourself below - I enjoyed taking these pictures even though the weather was bad :)
