One day, I looked at my closet and decided to give myself a fashion makeover and try a new
hairstyle. At a size 16-18, I could not find any modern pants that would fit well. I started
following plus size clothing brands in Spain on social media but the clothing they sold were
not my aesthetic.
I researched for days on social media and gained inspiration and knowledge about fashion
from other blogs and websites. This is what inspired me to start a blog. I felt that there were
many women who looked like me and could resonate with my fashion journey to find perfect
fitting plus size clothing.
Are there any trends that you love right now, and what advice do you have for
women looking to experiment with trends?
I’m totally in love with the boho trend. To me, curvy women look amazing in prints. I also love
long dresses and big sunglasses.
All women should embrace fashion and trends that make us feel wonderful. We must be true
to ourselves and look for fashion that authentically represents us. I had the great pleasure
of meeting fashion icon Iris Apfel recently and the lesson I took from her was to simply be
myself.
Do you have any advice for someone looking to start a fashion blog?
Yamila: Create a blog that shows what you really love to do or wear. A blog can be a powerful
avenue to reach many people looking for style inspiration, ways to enhance their style and
gain overall knowledge about fashion.
