Amber

I’m totally feeling the Amber love this week – this woman inspires me so much (plus, she’s super fun and I love spending time with her!), so here she is in a second feature for the week. Missed her earlier? Check out our Chubby Cartwheels editorial shoot from earlier in the week here.

Fat Girls Shouldn't Wear Stripes: Amber McCoy

This is the first photo I ever took of Amber, and if you made it along to my recent exhibition, you’ll recognise it as being one of my collector’s item postcards. I chose this to be one of my two postcard designs because for me it really embodies what Fat Girls Shouldn’t Wear Stripes is all about – feeling comfortable in your own skin, being confident, and embracing fashion despite being told certain things are “not for you” because of your size

Describing her style, Amber told me, “I love retro and vintage inspired dresses and cardigans, full skirts and leopard print. I like to feel like I am feminine and pretty but with a little bit of sass!”

If there is anything Amber has, it’s sass. Trust me *wink*

How would you describe your style? Some days I think “stylish, feminine and comfortable” and other days “you’re lucky I’m wearing pants”!
