Hi I’m Jamie and I’m extremely sensitive to light. Unless you know me in real life, chances are you don’t know that I have extreme light sensitivity. [...]
As you can see with this romper, my thighs eat up shorts. I used to hate this! But now I think my thick thighs are pretty magnificent and if they are hungry for shorts, well who can blame them?
While there is an expiration date set for women to express themselves, the reality is we truly haven't had the freedom of expression without ridicule in the first place.
People have commented that this look is a bit like a character in a John Water's film. This isn't the first time and it won't be the last time that I receive a comment of that nature. That is always ok with me because Divine has been my body positive fashion inspiration since I was a teenager.
...and to do my small part to destigmatize cellulite. Please don't let some dimples and ripples stop you from enjoying summer activities.
It took me a long time to not only accept my cellulite, but to embrace it. I am making up for lost time and actively looking for short shorts. And maybe, just maybe someone out there would see my thick rippled thighs walking down the street and be inspired to do the same.
I feel showcasing the body in various angles is super important and I want us all begin to make peace with our bodies from each vantage point. I have a gut and a butt and this is important to spell out when I am discussing how an item fits. Plus it is powerful for women/femmes to be comfortable in their skin.
I want to meet you, so we can hug and tell each other how great we look!
Please get rid of those the outmoded conventions that dictate what a person should wear because of size, gender or age. We all deserve better than that. We deserve the right to love ourselves and showcase it in anyway we want!
Spring to me is pattern mixing. It's shedding layers and being overly ambitious for summer. Overly ambitious means wearing sandals when it is a tad too chilly, but practical [...]
A bit 70s album cover mixed with a raiding of a church play costume bin. I think many of us who weren't raised with money (I wasn't) feel that they cannot literally afford props in photos.
A spring uniform for those days when I binge watch Netflix, order take-out and then take the dog on a long walk to get coffee.
This is a photoshoot from January 2017 that I worked on with Kevin. It tells the story of a tall chubby glamazon who is at home with her audience of trees [...]
Shoes ready to become the icons in your wardrobe: A Poetic Licence review.
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a long time fan of ModCloth. I adore vintage inspired contemporary clothing that is made well. Most, if not all, of Modcloth's house brand comes in sizes XXS-4S. Their clothing fits me impeccably too. When I heard ModCloth IRL was coming to wear it all began (ModCloth started in Pittsburgh), I was excited!
I am often asked where I get inspirations for my outfits. Sometimes I create a character in my head. Like I did here: Old Italian film star who is into funeral chic & white after Labor day. I describe how my mind went there.
H&M has decided to eliminate plus size clothing or a "fashion concept" from all of its NYC stores and many more nationally.
In college if I would have worn off-the-rack clothing at a department store, I would have had to take out a credit card to feel like a frumpy sack of shit. Don't worry, I didn't. I had to get creative and embrace the fact that I just didn’t have the option to participate in the fast-fashion industry that many of peers were wearing.
Seeking out new experiences and dressing the part is all part of living Fashion is Magic. Living life purposefully can lead to magical feelings and experiences.
