Behind The Scenes: My Denim Shoot for People StyleWatch October Issue

People StyleWatch_Denim Try-Ons-321

At this point in my 6-year career as a style blogger, I have been really blessed. I’ve been featured in some really amazing magazines and blogs and I count every mention, blog post and feature as an honor. But today, I have to say I am probably my proudest ever because I was chosen to be featured in an issue of People StyleWatch that is so near and dear to me – their Denim issue!

We’ve all, at some point, had a love/hate relationship with our jeans. Either they were too small or too big, you found the perfect pair and it made your life easier, your old jeans from the 90’s brought you back to a happy place, perhaps you recently discovered you can still fit into your high school jeans – whatever it may be, denim typically incites some sort of emotional response in us all – good or bad.

So when the editors at People StyleWatch asked me about my denim woes, I had ALOT to say. Never did I imagine that answering those questions would lead to something so EPIC as my feature in their Denim Issue. Why this issue is so special to me (and why I nearly cried when I saw myself on the page opener) is because it emphasizes the importance of diversity on the pages of mainstream magazines. I am so PROUD to be representing for the curvy girls with thunder thighs! This issue is filled with beautiful women of all shapes, sizes and colors and it just makes me so happy and proud to be part of the extended People StyleWatch family (via TheOutfit.com).

I went into the denim try-on and after about 6 pairs of jeans, I stumbled onto this perfect pair of skinnies that made me look so slender, fit my thunder thighs to a tee but still played up my best assets. Thank you Rue21 for making denim shopping for curvy girls like me so much easier.
