My Style Journal: All That Glitters…

December 23, 2016

HEY GIRL HEY! Happy PHAT Girl Friday!

 

Maui Bigelow of PHAT Girl Fresh   You know that I could go on and on about society’s fashion dos and don’ts for fat girls but since I could careless, I won’t! Why even speak on something that is both ignorant and prejudiced.  Yeah, I said it… There is a huge prejudice when It comes to fat women, fashion and beauty. However, just like Donald Trump as President (elect); I know it is there but I will not to acknowledge it!

Because I am always here to break a rule or two (or three or four) and encourage you to do the same; I wanted to share with you my latest love… Sequin! Yes honey, I am loving sequin right now and I know that I am not the only fat girl feeling this way. Hopefully all fat girls know and agree that every woman should add light and sparkle to whatever situation she enters and sequin allows you to do just that! Please dismiss the notion that we need to dress down or deflect, that is a lie! The goal is to go big, go bold or go home and if you fat girls are like me… HOME IS NOT AN OPTION!Maui Bigelow of PHAT Girl Fresh

 

Now, I am not talking about your grandma’s sequin fashion, I am talking about sequin done right! Dresses, pants, jumpsuits and even tee shirts can be found made of sequin. Although sequin was traditionally thought of as glam, we have found a way to dress it up or down based on the desired slay. Oh and did I mention the array of colors that sequin can be found in? Yes, the saying is true… “ALL THAT GLITTERS ISN’T GOLD” and the latest sequin trends prove just that!

This is not a post about fashion. This is a friendly reminder that the way you style your life determines how successful you are and the influence you offer the world. How you style your life connects you to your purpose and living your purpose draws you closer to God. Your style can’t be mimicked or  matched; it is a muscle only you can flex.

This is God’s doing! I still remember vividly th This is God’s doing! I still remember vividly the way I felt when I found out I was pregnant with my son. I remember the day I planned to abort him. I damn near remember every moment that I have shared with him over the last 23 years and every moment I had with God on his behalf. As we prepare for yet another amazing moment, I am grateful. 

Grateful that God loved me enough to bless me with this joyful black boy. Grateful that he was patient as I grew from girl to woman while being his mother. Grateful that he inspired me to push past every roadblock placed in my path. 

@youknowitszaydoe, I am so proud of you and I love you far beyond any words, actions, or material items, black man. I once called you sun because you shined like one but truthfully you out shine the sun, son. i pray that you receive and cherish every good and perfect thing God has for you. I pray you continue to pursue your purpose with passion. Most of all I pray that and abundance of love and light surround you and that despite life challenges you never cower in the face of adversity.
