Thank you for this post! I love your style, but you are cute and petite. I am tall and on the curvier side so I’m not always comfortable pulling off looks like you share. Now if you or anyone here can recommend a TALL curvy blogger with your fashion sense, there might be some fashion hope for me yet! LOL!

We’re always on the search for more great bloggers to add to our list but I hope this list is helpful for you too, as you still search for someone that is just your size and also shares the same fashion inspiration that you love!!

erin, At some point can you include tips for average size women? I know it may seem obvious what brands and tips that are best for us, but I often find recommendations are for the “non average group.” There are many variations among average size women. i’m 5’6″ and athletic and often have difficulty finding brands that will fit me. thanks for the consideration. 🙂
I love Lane Bryant for basics and there new jeans are amazing very comfortable and durable.
Why don’t you ever mention Catherines or Lane Bryant in any of your lists?
