Meet BAZAAR.com's new plus-size fashion contributor.

, and I’ve amassed a following over the past few years. I have a community on social media that seems to be grounded in love and support. When they can see I’m trying something new or that I’m nervous, the kind words of encouragement I receive in my DMs are somewhat overwhelming and and on occasion have even brought me to tears. Unfortunately, though, as a woman who wears what’s considered plus size and who loves to shop, that has not always been my experience in real life.

As a sense of familiarity formed, I dared to ask one of the brand representatives a question, “Why are there no plus-size influencers on this trip. I’m only here because I’m a plus one—isn’t jewelry universal?” To which they responded,"Yes, of course, it is. But honestly, Abi, we struggle to find plus-size individuals that really align with the brand." This comment was quickly followed by,"But you look really chic tonight.

Imagine living in a world where you can see trends, you can see what’s stylish, and you constantly fall in love with pieces that you can’t actually own. You scramble to find ways to re-create looks, while the growth of your personal style is stifled because there are very limited choices available to you.

My day-to-day style is quite laid back and comfortable, and usually features muted notes and soft fabrics. Comfort is a huge priority of mine. I’d like to think I’m sophisticated and chic. I often have these wild card moments, where I’ll wear something extremely feminine or loud, and, honestly, I love those moments—but not every day.
