Hello Kristine!
Love your blog and your style! Great shopping inspiration. To me, you have the perfect plus size figure, all curvy in the right places and a flatter stomach. As a plus-size women who wears a size 18W, I am curvy as well (butt and hips) but I also have a bigger belly. I was wondering if you have any exercise or diet secrets that you can share about how you keep your curves and your belly flat!
Thanks in advance!
Wow! Your blog really seems to be a genuine one. I have gone through all your posts and I`m highly inspired by your blog. I can`t resist myself from following your blog. Keep it up, buddy.
Hi Kristine,
I always admire your dressing. I want to to ask you what underwear I can use to keep my tommy in when i wear a full body dress. I have never worn a full body dresss before because i hate how my belly looks. I admire how you wear them.
Hello!
I’m a newbie to your site and i really love your style. How do you get your tanks to drape at the bottom in the front. Do you by them a size larger?
Thank you! It’s actually the style of the tank top that I am wearing. It’s a curved hem so it hangs like that naturally. You can find the tank here: http://bit.ly/2OoRo3y
I love reading your blog – thank you so much for the insight! I have a quick question – I was reading one of your posts on shapewear and noticed in all images you are wearing either a dress or a skirt/top. Do you generally wear a shaper when wearing jeans or pants?
Hello Kristine,
I really enjoy seeing all the great outfits you put together, you look really fab!
I have small query about the Shop Instagram outfit on August 1st -the blush skirt and grey t-shirt: how did you tie the t-shirt to get that amazing twist look at the waist?!
Figuring this out with a terrible cold is more than my head can manage!
Keep on showcasing the lovely style ideas and giving us plus-size motivation to try something different.
Thank you from across the pond – London, England
Thanks so much Dee Dee! The shirt that I was wearing in that post is actually different from the one tagged. The top that I’m wearing came that way. I was just trying to find something comparable in color so that you can create your own look. Sorry for the confusion!
Thank you for clarifying, no apology necessary; I’ll try to create my own style, fingers crossed it’ll look good! Not as fab as your look but I can but try.
Hi Kristine,
I as well am a large busted woman. I need to know where you find your bras including the strapless ones? You never see any lines in any of your clothes showing the bra underneath. Just curious, thanks! You are such an inspiration
Hi Kristine! I stumbled on your page while looking into current fashions and I love you clothing choices. I was curious though what kind of undergarments you would suggest for some of the dresses? I always look lumpy when I wear these styles and you look fabulous. Please e-mail me your secret. Thanks!
Hi, i recently discovered your page on instagram and i love your style! do you use shapewear with all your looks? you look so well put together. My problem area is my tummy, i hate the way my clothes look on me in that area. can you recommend anything that would help that doesn’t cost as much as an entire outfit!
Hi Kristal. Thanks so much! I actually have a post on my favorite shapewear that you can find here: https://www.trendycurvy.com/2016/07/28/lets-talk-shapewear/. Good shapewear is worth the investment since you will get so much use out of it and these aren’t terribly expensive. Hope that helps!
Hi Kristine. My name is Anne. I read your post about shapewear and I absolutely love it but; my question about shapewear is: “How do you choose the size?” Same size as a regular pair of legging I wear or maybe a size under?
Have you ever done a post on 30 outfits from 10 pieces…or something like that? I’ve searched, but haven’t found one. And those on pinterest are great…but your style is so much better. I’d love to see it.
Hi Janae! That’s actually a good idea for a post but I would say start off with really great basics and build from there. A pair of skinny jeans, an LBD, a blazer, etc are all great staples that you can create many different looks from. Hope that helps!
First off, I LOVE YOUR STYLE!!!!! You are my daily inspiration.
So the big 40 is quickly approaching and I am headed to the Dominican to celebrate in February.
I wanted to find some cotton pencil skirts…with rouching…much like the one you posted on Instagram on Nov 13th. Any ideas where I could go to find one this time of year?
Also…looking for a cute jumpsuit any suggestions on a site?
Thanks so much Nadia and happy early birthday! I haven’t seen any rouched pencil skirts lately but the ones I have are from Vince Camuto so you may want to check them out. Also, Eloquii has some really cute jumpsuits so I would look there as well. Hope that helps!
I didn’t include it in a post so that’s why you can’t find it. I was wearing a plus size 1x however if you are unable to find it in plus, the regular XXL fits as well, its just shorter in length. Hope that helps!
Hello Kristine! First of all, I LOVE your site! So good! Thank you for being you and sharing it with the world.
My question is- do you use a body shaper? If so, what do you use? I’m having the hardest time finding one.
Thank you Devi! I have had spanx for years so that has been my go to but I also just got another one from Maidenform that I really like as well. Hope that helps!
Hi Kristine, please can you do a article on shoes, what to pair shoes with wat type of clothing and for us curvy girls wat heels are comfortable and look good…
Hi there. That’s a good idea but its hard to do posts about just shoes since everyone’s comfort-ability levels are different. I try to show through my posts different options for different styles of shoes but the possibilities are really limitless
You are super cute and I love that you are promoting plus size! Look at the styles, simple trendy gorgeous and smart. You rock my world right now, dear What size do u wear currently? I do UK 26. Wanna know how to shop form the site u posted.
What shape and brand jeans do you wear? I have the hardest time finding jeans that fit me right. I’m curvy and size 14. I recently got some at old navy; they are mid rise curvy and they keep sliding down. Your jeans seem to fit you well; I would appreciate some tips thanks.
Hi Antoinette! Thanks for your question. Old Navy has been a favorite of mine for years but not the Curvy line, the Rockstar line. However, I think they may have changed the design/fabric of those jeans because I recently ordered more online and they did not fit the same. I did order from the plus line as opposed to the regular line so I’m not sure if that has something to do with it. Jury’s out on that one. Another one of my favorites though are H&M+ jeans. They have an amazing fit. Lastly the brand NYDJ found at Macys, Nordstrom, etc.
Hello! I love your blog! It gives me so much life! Just wondering though…do you know of any sites or stores that would sell plus size short sets? I keep running into them in the online boutiques in SMALLER sizes, but I think it would be awesome to find a trendy one in plus size. Thank you!
Thank you so much Symone! I really appreciate that. I don’t know of any off the top of my head but ASOS always seems to be on trend so you may want to check there.

Yes I do. You can find the post here: https://www.trendycurvy.com/2016/07/28/lets-talk-shapewear/
Hello,
Are you going to the Essence Festival this year. Are you planning on doing a blog about outfits that would be ideal?
I’m not going this year unfortunately so I won’t be doing a post. Wish I was though!
You look amazing, love your style!!
Thank you!
You really motivate me to take care of my body
I’m so happy to hear that. It is worth taking care of

Hi Kiara, thanks so much! I typically only wear shapewear with skirts or dresses not pants

Hi Anne. Take a look at the size chart and it will give you exact measurements so that you can best figure out your size
Thank you for sharing. Great content.
Have you ever done a post on 30 outfits from 10 pieces…or something like that? I’ve searched, but haven’t found one. And those on pinterest are great…but your style is so much better. I’d love to see it.
No I’ve never done that. Never even heard of that. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks!
Hello,
I’m trying to redo my 2017 Wardrobe From Scratch and I wanted to know could you give me any suggestions. I would love to see a feature on it.
