As one of our New Features this year in OMGoddess, we want to show you what other plus sized, curvey, chubby and BAM POW beautiful girls are wearing. One of the ways to do this is by submitting a full length photo (you can use www.flickr.com–it’s free) to us along with where you bought your outfit from, how you decided to put it together.

Here is an example:

Lime Tee Shirt: GoodWill store 1.00
Dress: Delighful_Deals on Ebay 12.00
Bag: Bag Lady of Paris- 5.00
Bracelet: omgoddess 9.99 ebay
shoes: Nike Free Personalized 129.00 –of course its my 1 and ONLY pair of shoes.
Little white thing in hair is left over from the Blue Man Group show.
The NO smile is because I lost too much $$

So that’s basically it. We love to see the “outfits” that you guys put together. Called also Street ware or thrifting, etc. It supports your own personal style. We are going to try to have a re-mixer at least 1 a month — more if i’m able to get this started.

you can submit your info to me at omgnews at gmail.com. I look forward to getting your beautiful pictures. If you don’t have a web photo place like flickr or photobucket..just email me your pics along with the description of where you got them and why you put that outfit together.
