My name is Tiffany and I am super excited to start a blog that will consist of fashion, relationship, weight loss journey and motivational aspects that can help a curvy girl living in a curvy world. So, the basis of this introduction is for you to get to know me right?? RIGHT!!! Here we go...
I was born in Brooklyn, NY (Bed-Stuy Do or Die) and I had somewhat of an okay childhood considering living in the hood during the 80's crack error where shooting were random in my neck of the woods. I guess that was pretty normal during that time. I wasn’t allowed to go outside by myself very often due to me being my mother's only child she guarded me with her life. But, on every other Friday when my mom got paid she always took me shopping downtown Brooklyn. A&S, Conway, Strawberry's & Albee Square Mall was some of the frequent places we would go to downtown and ohh how I love to look at the fashion. I can remember sitting on the bench in front of A&S watching people go in and out. I loved to people watch because I loved to look at all the different fashions that would enter those doors. Some were good a whole lot of bad but, it was in those times I could get away from being locked in the house and just explore different sizes, shapes and textures of clothes and people. Oh how I love the old NEW YORK life...
But, then my mom decided she wanted to come back to her childhood roots in a little town called West Point. I had to do some major readjustments with fashion and basically everything in my life changed. Living in the small towns of the south, if you do not drive you are basically stuck. There are no trains or buses you can jump on and experience a whole other culture but ,remain in the same city. It was a whole new world that I had to adjust to not only mentally but, fashionably as well. We moved back to Georgia in 1993 and at the time Duck Head and a little store called Mansour's was all the rage in my little town. Now, to add to this misery I was a curvier girl whose mom didn't drive and had to shop around to different stores to find things stylish that was in my size. For a while there I was dressing like I was older than I appeared wearing cardi sweaters and mom pants and I was only 13 at the time. So, my struggle with fashion was a hard one for me even during my teen years. The only way I could express myself was through my hair which always stayed "LAID". I always made sure that whatever I wore to school was always neat and put together. Presentation is everything to me and it is something I am trying to teach my daughters as they are maturing.
When I finally received my license at age 23 and got myself a car and I was ready to tackle the world of plus size fashion again….
