    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.

      Is there a designer (indie or otherwise!) that's doing plus-size clothing really well right now? Any designers you want to call out that are doing a particular poor job?

      "Oooh! This is a tough one! Right now, I am loving sheer blouses and wearing the hell out of mine. I absolutely can't live without my Stiletto Skinnies from Torrid and I am a total shoe whore. My fave pair of cage heeled Stuart Weitzmans I got last spring will definately be making a cameo this Winter! Gotta love California's weather!"
