That’s why it’s Smart Glamour

Hey lovelies!

So I took an unceremonious break from blogging for a bit to get my life back in order. My health was really waning and there was one ailment after the other, so I was taking care of myself. Now that its sorted, I’m getting right back into fashion blogging!

I am well acquainted with Mallorie Dunn of Smart Glamour for quite a while now; in fact she was the first person to have reached out to me when I was new to blogging as Curves Become Her. We communicate online a fair bit regarding body positivity and the importance of an inclusive environment. I finally got a few outfits customised by SG at the start of this year! Cannot wait to show you the first outfit in this post and the other ones in subsequent posts.

What I love about Smart Glamour is that it is a 100% ethically made brand AND it is one of the most body positive companies out there. If you have a look at the website – the models and fashion shows are always showcasing diversity of size, age, identities and style among many other factors. Every piece of garment is created impeccably and with love 🙂

On to the outfit!

Betty crop bandeau top, Rosa pencil skirt

There is a cute story behind attaining this outfit! So this was actually part of the Smart Glamour collection a year ago and I remember missing out on purchasing it back then. Mallorie mentioned in passing that she still had some of this fabric and I jumped up for joy! This very ‘fine China’ (how else do i describe this lol) style is something I have been wanting to give a go for quite a while. Ideally this would have been perfect for CNY but no matter! I am still SO happy to have gotten this customised.

Mallorie has a useful YouTube video for taking your measurements if you would like to alter a look according to personal specifications – adding sleeves, a longer hemline etc. But it was pretty funny when I sent in my measurements that were slightly wrong and mind you I did the measuring myself! With her keen eye she could discern that I needed to re-measure myself and she was right!

I was nervous for sure while waiting for the outfits to arrive but all online purchases make me antsy anyway! Granted it took a while to get here, given the distance and the work gone into customising the outfit from scratch. But the end products were well worth the wait for me 🙂

Because I stand at a petite 5’2″ most crop tops are not really cropped on me but this certainly was the perfect length!

The top and skirt had a nice amount of stretch and the zippers gave me NO problem (plus size girls you feel me don’t you?). I adore the frill at the skirt’s hemline. To me, this is the perfect Spring look.

I must say I am really proud of my makeup prowess of late! The months of not blogging had me watching so many makeup tutorials and I made a few trips to Sephora (hubster’s most-hated store); and I am obsessed with liquid lipsticks namely from Jeffree Starr Cosmetics and LA Splash.
