Satin midiskirt
The satin look is showing up all over in the form of dresses and dusters, but I feel the midiskirt is a perfect twist on the trend. Make the look modern by pairing it with an oversized knit sweater like Tanesha. (Photo courtesy Tanesha Awasthi)

In the midst of fashion month, I have been in need of some major outfit inspiration. My personal style has always been heavily influenced by street style and its exciting interpretation of high fashion. Don’t get me wrong — I love good editorial inspiration, but there is something magical about seeing a look captured in real life. I can recall spending countless nights racking the Internet for outfit ideas, only to find that the only photos I could get my hands on were of girls nowhere near my curvy size 18. This lack of resources was a big reason why I launched my own blog in 2011 — to show girls of all shapes and sizes, in a real way, that your body type does not define who you are or your relationship to fashion.
In the last five years, thanks to the boom of fashion bloggers following suit, the Web has gained an endless supply of awesome street-style photos of women size 16 and up rocking the latest trends. So sit back, click through the slideshow, and enjoy 15 street-style photos to inspire your look and prove curvy girls can set trends just as well as anyone else!
