PLUS MODEL MAGAZINE WOMEN OF STYLE SHOOT FEATURING ULLA POPKEN

Hey curvy girls all over the world,

Last month myself, the Editor of Plus Model Mag (Madeline Jones), two other bloggers (Ty of Gorgeous & Grey, Allison of Curvy Girl Chic), and two models (Fluvia Lacerda & Ivory May) were all asked to be part of the Women of Style challenge presented by Plus Model Magazine in partnership with Ulla Popken. The challenge was to find a few items from The Ulla Popken site and style it in a way that reflected our personal styles. All of our best looks would be featured in the November issue of PMM.

Now, I have to keep it real with you because, I don’t know any other way to be. At first glance of visiting the Ulla Popken site, I thought there was nothing that they offered that would fit my style. Naturally I was apprehensive of being part of the project for that reason. Then I got to thinking, well, if you’re a woman of style then you should be able to take anything and put a stylish spin on it. So, I put my feelings aside and took the challenge.

I scoured the site for pieces that I thought would be easy and simple to style. It wasn’t until day two of checking out the site that I realized Ulla Popken had some really cute basic plus size tops. I settled on this houndstooth knit tunic. Houndstooth is a fall trend and I liked that they offered the tunic in other colors besides black and white. Pink is my favorite color and I thought the pink and black combination would go well with my skin tone.

I paired the tunic with a leather pencil skirt, a wide width stretch belt, and a pair of suede ankle boots. I really liked the tunic and have other outifit ideas for it. On the day of the shoot, the PMM team treated me with kindness and patience. I truly enjoyed being a model for the day. I’ve always wanted to be a model but I think I lacked passion, which is why I never really pursued it, so when blogging brings these opportunites, I take full advantage. You would hire me as a model right? LOL! Seriuoulsy this was a great shoot and thanks to Jo for doing my makeup & hair, she rocked it.
