    5 Curvy Gals Share Their Shopping Secrets

    By Connie Wang, Photographed by Chantal Adair, Refinery29
    While the fashion industry is inundated with images of towering, pin-thin, brooding women, the majority of America doesn't resemble Kate Moss and Karlie Kloss (despite just how carefully you pick out those Calvins or how often you work at your abs).

    But one of the most encouraging things about the Internet-run industry we live in today is that some of the influential personalities, the most inspiring fashion experts, and the most stylish, too boot, are women who haven't been cherry-picked based on the circumference of their waist or distance between their eyes, but rather their wit, their taste, and the way they make fashion feel like we all own it.

    Consequentially, these women also look a whole lot like the rest of America. Call them plus-size bloggers or full-figured fashion stars, but we consider them just sartorial geniuses, pure and simple. We've asked five of our curvy-girl friends to spill on their personal style secrets and shopping tips for navigating a sea of muumuus.

      Tell us about your outfit! What are you wearing?
      "To be completely honest, I was traveling during this shoot and had to put together a look from the random things I happen to throw in my suitcase. On a day-to-day basis, I'm a pretty casual girl and my go-to outfit is a skinny pant and jacket of some sort. I love the combination of mustard and denim, so I decided to go with these skinnies from Forever21 and a thrifted, denim button-down. The jacket is Forever21, too (can you tell I love shopping on a budget?). I couldn't get over how great the fit and details were for the price. Chic flats are definitely my favorite option when it comes to running around Manhattan; these are by Dolce Vita. My necklace? Surprise! F21. The Stella & Dot spiked bracelet is one of my never-take-off pieces."
