I was an Ashley Stewart model.... for a day

A couple of weeks ago, I got the opportunity to model for Ashley Stewart. For those of you who don't know, Ashley Stewart is a chain of plus size stores located around the United States. According to their website, "The Ashley Stewart brand is truly an eclectic mix. It is fashion forward, sexy and inspirational. It provides the customer with head-to-toe outfits from trendy sportswear to lingerie to outerwear. Ashley Stewart dresses the women from the bedroom to the boardroom. Fashion conscious plus-size urban women shop at Ashley Stewart to find the latest fashions that reflects their inner-confidence."

 Their local branch in Dudley Square was having a store event a couple of weeks ago, and I got the chance to be one of the models along with 9 other ladies. We each had to model two outfits. The first outfits we had to model in were "tropical" themed outfits. Basically, this scene required us to wear bright colors, particularly greens, blues, oranges and pinks. With summer just around the corner, and bold colors being one of the trends for the season, this scene gave the ladies ideas on what outfits they could put together using Ashley Stewart's latest collection. Take a look at some of the outfits that we were able to put together:



Apparently, here in America, the one time that it is acceptable to wear all white without people giving you strange looks is between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Although many of you ladies (and I am one of the culprits) shy away from wearing all white, take a look at some of the models serving some all white fabulousness!

                                 

Initially, I had thought that Ashley Stewart didn't have much to offer for the trendy, younger woman. I never thought that I would be able to get day to day clothing from their store, but I was definitely wrong. Everything we are wearing, except maybe some of the shoes are from the store. And yes, that includes the jewelry, bags and sunglasses too!

The store event was put together by the amazing ladies of Escape Image Consulting, Nicole Flynt and Danita Lee. They found the models and came up with the wonderful outfits that you see in the pictures. BE sure to like their Facebook page. They are looking to make these store events a monthly thing and are definitely interested in collaborating with anyone who is interested.

Oh by the way, here are the outfits that I had the pleasure of modeling in:
