For an avenue that’s supposed to be more “real” than the print style publications, I’d have to agree with everyone else who gripes that most fashion bloggers are sticks. Also, a lot of them over time become inflated with their own sense of self-importance. It’s refreshing to see someone who’s real!

Lady Smaggle,

Your blog is an inspiration to those of us who are on the curvy/average side because you embrace and show off your curves. Most style bloggers are teeny little things, and while that’s fine and dandy, the average woman is larger/taller and it can be really hard to relate or interpret the styles for themselves without looking like a frosted cupcake or a walking fashion disaster. You on the other hand, just rock everything you wear, look absolutely beautiful, and show that you don’t have to be a size 0 to be fabulous.

Much love and thanks to you, Lady!

Most fashion bloggers all look the same to me; skinny, straight-haired aspiring models who dress just like every other aspiring model.

You’re something special; eclectic, funky, brave. This blog doesn’t teach me ANYTHING about blending in or trying to be someone else, and that’s why I love it.

I get clarified in that category too. I 100% agree about the working out and eating healthy. I have had to devote myself to being healthy and active or would be 40+ pounds more again. That is where my confidence comes from, I have to work for it.
