    Im Sheena...and I am a fashion addict.

    Group: "Hello Sheena"

    I recently spent $850 on a pair of beautiful Louboutins. Which to me are like crack, or porn, or crack-porn. Since I rarely go out my mom and sister kept giving me crap about the shoes. They had a point. I decided to return them for a pair of reasonably priced $300 Via Spiga's. However when returning them I discovered a Prada bag that I had to have. I have now spent more than the original $850. I have a problem.

    Hugs?

    Oh and I am one of the two that has claimed Jorra for makeup! I worked my way through grad school as a Lancome counter girl.

    I just blew $1,000 on Coach bags last week. I got the new Coach Madison white lace Satchel (limited edition) and the black Coach Madison Lindsay satchel.

    I have a problem too :laugh:

    I am Candace. I'm 5'10" and currently about 368 lbs. I don't have any truly fashionable clothing because right now I am still ordering most of my clothes from one of several online plus-size women's shops, and trust that these clothes are far from fashionable or flattering. I'm not even sure what my style will be once I am down to my goal weight, and right now I can't say that I am too worried about it. :flowerforyou: I will be using this group to get ideas. :tongue:

    Hi everyone! My name is Nicolette, and I am going to be 52 in late August.

    I am Apostolic, a Latin form of Pentecostal.
    I don't cut my hair, wear any type of jewelry, and dress very modestly.
    I usually wear maxi dresses w/ a shrug or cover-up.
    Or a maxi Jean's skirt w/ a cute top, with a tank underneath (on Backwards-they are too low).
    I don't show my arm's or legs. I could show my legs from the calf down, but since I am as tall as I am wide, I figured I might as well just go w/the maxi's.
    I like to do fun things w/my hair..it is down to my second waist--ha ha--the one below the bra roll.., and almost one length.
    I have very fine strands, but a LOT of them, making my hair heavy and slippery.
    Now that it is summer, it is almost always in a bun..just too hot here in New Mexico.

    Could someone show me how to post a pic or two from my profile?
    I'd like to show you how I dress.

    Thank you, God Bless, Nic:flowerforyou:

    Hi!! My name is Asara, I'm 32yrs old. Married to the hottest guy on earth in my eyes :smooched: , no children yet, to busy being married:heart:

    I was extremely gothic down to my black lipstick through high school, college, most of my 20s... I'm a carmel tinted black chick so most people didn't know how to take me Lol!! I've since lost the makeup unless I go out, but even then it's only lip gloss and mascara. I've also branched into blue jeans and some other colors LOL!

    Now that I've lost 70lbs (pre MFP) and went from a tight 24 to a nice fitting 16 (goaling for a 6 wish me luck ):smile: Just like you said I want to dress up this new body! I'm tired of drolling over fashion from the side lines. I love fashion like all of us here do from watching the shows to the magazines from the critics to the runways, street fashion and high fashion, don't forget your accessories, jewelry and shoes. I even work in sales for Victoria's Secret when I'm not in my home department Bath&BodyWorks. I'm determined to start wearing the clothes I sell, makeover my style a bit with some skirts and heels! :wink:: I think this site will be really awesome!

    PS sorryabout the long rant/introduction :smile::

    I'm Sue, I'm from Ireland. I'm 5'4" and currently 157 - I'd like to be 140 or 137 but I'll see when I get there. Just turned 40 and have two small kids. Style at the moment is just jeans and a top but I used to love a more tailored look - maybe when I lose another 7lbs. Trying not to buy too many clothes as I lose weight so just buying shoes instead :laugh: bit of a bargain hunter cos I get bored with my clothes so don't like spending a fortune on something I'll give to the charity shop in a year or two.

    Hey hey! I'm Lisa, 48 years old, from Queens, NY. I'm 5'3", and have gradually ballooned up to 166. I'd like to get down to around 135 lbs or 130, whichever one is more comfortable for me. It's really discouraging to have watched my ideal dress size of an 8 go up to a 10, then to a 12, and now the 12s are tight - I really don't want to head into a 14 if I can help it. Plus, I have boobs, I have hips, I have a butt, and I have to wear petite lengths - so at my current weight, no clothes really look nice on me; I kind of look like a fire hydrant! It's a hit to my self-esteem, that's for sure.

    Hi I'm Jackie, 33 years old, Mexican-Filipino from Manila, Philippines. I stand 1.57m or 5'3 & currently weigh 54.1 kilos or 119 pounds (I gained a little due to my heavy weight lifting program as I'm trying to build muscle) & average clothes size is M, jean size 26 inches (US size 1). I love any type of fashion that will suit my hourglass-pear figure & especially my "newly developed" booty from squatting. Being in an Asian country, I got to admit that choosing the right outfit here is a challenge unless I go to more expensive imported brands from Europe or US but most local stores here carry clothes that only suit the Asian body frame aka petite, rectangular, boyish frame (no offense to all Asians out here, I'm talking about the majority) while I inherit most of my genes including my body type to my white side of family. Normally I'm a jeans & tight tees type of person but I also love dressing up.

    YAYAYAYY!!! So glad this group got started!!


    I'm kortney - I'm 31, 5'3", and 200 pounds. My style is all over the place! I love vintage chic - anything from Old Hollywood to 1960s Mod, and I'm trying to branch out in to current fashion trends too. If I don't plan outfits, I end up in trouser jeans, converse sneakers, a V neck tee and a cardigan. Like, every. single. day. So I'm really focusing on planning outfits and accessories before bed so that I'm ready to rock in the morning.

    Because of my weight loss goals, I had told myself I wouldn't buy any new clothes until I could get to a more comfortable size. But my wordrobe had gotten stale. The same seven outfits every week for the sake of saving money and not buying clothes I knew I'd shrink out of. This concept had to go!! I started getting back in to thrift store shopping, which used to be a huge hobby of mine. In the last month I've spent approximately $50 on thrift store goodies, and I have managed to completely revamp and almost completely replace my entire clothing collection.

    I take photos of my outfits quite often. I'd love to do it every day and make a blog about it, but that takes a lot of dedication!

    Makeup is also a passion of mine. I'm self-teaching myself cosmetology so that if this whole 'day job' thing doesn't work out, I have a leg-up when I go to cosmetology school. ;)

    Check out some of my outfits over the last few months:

    Hello Ladies,

    My name is Kelly, 33 yrs and Im addicted to shopping. My weight usually goes up and down, Im currently at my heaviest (228). But Im committed to getting fit and healthy ( if I could just leave those dang chocolate chip cookies alone, LOL). My style tends to be a bit on the trendy side, but I do have a some classic pieces. I just love jeans ( boot-leg and skinny), jeans are a staple in my wardrobe. Im attemping to get into the colored jeans, purchasing my 1st pair of teal and red skinny jeans this week. Im a high heels chica all the way, just because we're curvy don't mean we can't rock a stiletto! :smile: Jessica Simpson, Steve Madden and Sam Edelman are some of my favs, and let's not forget the bags......Coach is a must. Looking forward to chatting with my fellow FASHIONISTAS!
