Fashionista Friday, A Fashion Diva With Ambition Featuring Marshel'le Hayes

Hello My Confident Dolls, Happy Friday! 

So 2 weeks ago I debuted a new topic to feature on the blog where I would showcase My Ambition girls who are confident and fashionable. We all love fashion and always get inspired by others for new ideas. Today our Fashionista Friday will be Marshel'le who I've been following on Instagram for awhile. Her style, beauty, and confidence truly graces your Instagram page every time she posts a picture. 

I wanted to more about her and know some of her fashion tips, favorite fashion wear and what are some of her favorite pieces to wear as well as how she balances it all in her life. Marshel'le is 24 years old college student  and  She is the happiest when she is able to inspire others in a positive way.Marshel'le describes her style as elegant with a fearlessly sexy plus size twist. She always want to present herself in a tasteful manner, but she isn't afraid to have a little sex appeal at the same time. As I always say BE CONFIDENT, BE SEXY.  She loves the fact that fashion allows you to express who you are and how you feel, without verbally saying a word. Fashion allows you to be CREATIVE , be YOU, and feel BEAUTIFUL. This is why I always say BE EXACTLY WHO YOU WANT TO BE, Fashion allows you to be that. 

I asked Marshel'le how does she find time to be fashionable with a career since she is still in college exploring a career path which best suits her. She currently don’t have to stress too much about managing a career and finding the time to be fashionable. However, she does have a very demanding school schedule, so her way of remaining fashionable with a busy schedule is to wear what makes her the most comfortable for all that she has going on that day. It could be jeans and a top or even a simple sun dress, but she make sure her makeup is clean and flawless and that her hair and/or accessories are on point. 

Marshel'le just goes with the flow of how she is feeling. Sometimes she feels like dressing down and keeping it plain and simple (no makeup, no accessories, and a ponytail). Other days, she feels  like going all out with hair, makeup, accessories, cute shoes, etc. She just go with how she feels and that's what I do as well. I just go with the flow and not with what anyone would want me to wear. Her favorite fashion trend is probably a really cute pair of comfy shoes/heels. To be honest she has a hard time walking in heels, so when she find a cute pair of short thick heels or wedges, she feels like she hit the jackpot! And they look great with jeans. YES!!! Same way I feel , I can't wear heels to save my life but as I wrote in the Confidence Is You book just because you can't walk in heels doesn't mean you can never wear heels, just wear some that you would feel comfortable walking in and won't give you no trouble.

 Marshel'le doesn't abide  by any “fashion rules” such as you can't wear white after Labor Day. She wear what she wants to, when she want to, and how she wants to, regardless of what anyone thinks about it. She feel like if she  looks good in it, why not wear it!??? AMEN!!!! What are her go to fashion items? Her go-to fashion item would have to be a good ole form fitting dress, either a sun dress or bodycon dress. Her sisters make fun of her because of all the dresses that she have in my closet, but thats just what works for her. WEAR WHAT WORKS FOR YOU!!!  

Her main goal is to be comfortable in whatever she wears, and you can never go wrong in a comfy beautiful dress that hugs your curves ( Great tip) Along with her dresses, she have another fashion go-to item that she can’t live without, and that’s a good pair of reliable spanx. She thinks shapewear is tremendously important, especially for curvy women. I AGEEE!!!! It ensures that you and your curves look the absolute best at all times and also keeps everything in place nicely. She get her Spanx  from Target and the pair that she have now cost her $43 but it lasts a long time so its a great investment. ( Lane Bryant, Macys & Other Brand Stores Carry Spanx) She loves shopping at Windsors, Forever21, Target, H&M (not all locations carry plus sizes), ASOS, and LuckiCharmz.com. Lately She have been finding that she also comes across really cute stuff at inexpensive stores like DD’s Discounts, Ross, and Marshalls.  

I needed to know what items was she excited to wear this Fall, Marshel'le said she is excited to go boot shopping! she think its time to retire her summer sandals, so she want to get back into comfy boots and jeans. She loves colors, so she is also excited to experiment with a lot of the popular trends and add her own twist of color to match her personality. You can find something else is wearing BS add your own twist to it and make it your own personal style. What would Marshel'le tell someone who is trying to find their own personal style is that it took her a while to develop her personal sense of style, so she can relate to those that struggle in that area. What she have learned is it’s really all about what makes you feel the most BEAUTIFUL and the most comfortable. 

She recommend trying on a few different things when you shop, just to get an idea of what compliments your figure best and which fabrics fit you properly. From there, you will eventually get more comfortable and confident with trying new things. DON'T BE AFRAID TO STEP OUT YOUR COMFORT ZONE! Try on something you normally wouldn’t wear. This is how you become more familiar with what works best for you and what to stay away from. Check out blogs for ideas and try recreating some of your favorite looks. You will be surprised how fast your sense of style evolves! She read my mind, I AGREE!!!

 It can be difficult at times to try to balance it all in your life, but Marchel'le says The only way she balance it all is with PRAYER! Honestly, that is the only way she knows how to balance it all. Her life is still a work in progress, but she tries to organize her time, she stay away from negativity, and she talks  to God often and allow him to take the wheel.

Confidence Is Me Because I LOVE ME FLAWS & All Says Marchel'le. 

Iam not a fashion expert but I know one thing for sure we all love FASHION and I just want you to be CONFIDENT, COMFORTABLE IN YOUR SKIN and wear what makes you feel BEAUTIFUL but as well what makes you HAPPY. We live in a world where we are judged for everything and told what not to wear due to our size. F what those with narrow minds have to say, wear what you want to wear. They can kiss your ass while you feel and look BEAUTIFUL. I hope you were inspired and will go out and buy something you always wanted to wear and go out and wear it proudly. 

Marchel'le you are AMAZING! As I watch you grow on Instagram, you are the epitome of what a beautiful, ambitious, confident women is suppose to be. I wish you nothing but the best my WCE and may God bless you always. Follow Marchel'le on Instagram @moosiewoosie. Thanks Doll For Being CIY Friday Ambitious Fashionista.
