Chapter One: "...You Have To Do What's Best For You."

Let me explain something to you – ain’t nothin’ ever been cute about pink leather leggings, especially on big girls.

Now before you start asking ‘Who are you to say what is or is not cute?!’, let me explain something about myself.  I am the editor-in-chief of Curves, Curls, and Cake, a blog that caters specifically to today’s full-figured woman.  So far, my blog has become a very credible source for life, fashion, and entertainment advice.  So I’d like to think I know a little something when it comes to what’s fashionable.
