Alabama International Fashion Week: High concentrated, non-watered down, RAW talent

Happy Monday to ya!!

 I had the pleasure of covering Alabama International Fashion Week this weekend! It's the first year for the event and I would say the 1st of many! Below is what I wore....

Of Course it's thrifted! $2.99 find from a local thrift shop here! But the color alone screamed BUY MEEEE!!!  

I've been looking for dresses/skirts that have a split or a place where I can add one. This dress had both! The original split wasn't as high so I cut it a bit!

I added my chain belt (yes, I found it) and my new favorite, comfy shoes! I would have worn my leopard print but I wasn't sure how much walking/standing I'd actually be doing, so comfort won!

But enough about me! Let's get to the designers! There were five on Saturday night: 

Camille- Anthony Swimwear 

Garland Jackson 

Fashion Crush One (Styled with Belks) 

Kaysia J Designs 

Splashed By DKG 

I appreciated everyone's are on the runway, but there were a few that stood out to me! There lines included Vibrant, Original, Everyday wear pieces! I found myself screaming YASSSSSSSS! A good part of the night! So glad to be exposed to more of the talent pool that  Birmingham has to offer! There is nothing like High concentrated, non-watered down, RAW talent! I love!  Below are just a few of my favorite pieces! I'll definitely be inviting these designers to be apart of LIVE.LOVE.STRUT 2015.

Now, seeing that I am a plus size blogger, the only thing that was missing to make the night complete, was PS fashion! Other than that, I enjoyed myself, and look forward to next year! I may even be the Designer to fill that void! =) #isupport! 

Have a great work week! 

Love you!
