I am inspired by other fashionistas, my dope ass friends and celebrities. As for my own personal style I try not to be so generic and wear things or create fashion that is different for my size (22) so that plus size women won't be stuck in that generic ass, basic ass "Im fat so I am limited to my clothing options so I'll just put on some not so flattering jeans and a big shirt".

I have to have lipstick on.
