I just realized today that I have been blogging for two years. Oh how time flies! I began my blog because I had so much built up inside about plus size fashion and wanted to change the way we view fashion one FATshionista at a time. Let me tell you living in Minnesota does not exactly provide me with the best fashion platform and I know there are so many things to see and experience and relationships to build. I am continually inspired by other bloggers in the curvy community and my hope for 2012 is to expand my social network relationships and continue to learn all there is to know about building a better blog. I have found peace and support being a part of the expanding community of curvy bloggers, and I honestly never thought that I would have the time to keep it up. In 2011 I reached 179 followers (Cannot thank you enough), became a contributing blogger to Skorch Magazine, collaborated with C.J. Banks, and did my first apparel review for Sizes to fit. I am excited to see what the future holds for me. I still have ideas brewing on how I can merge social work and plus size fashion/body acceptance and I see a 501(c)3 non-profit in my future (after graduation). I am proud to declare my role in the curvy blogger community and hope to grow and learn so that I can continue to share with my followers. Like celebrities say “It’s all about the fans”, and without followers my voice would go unheard. THANK YOU!!!
