Savage Style

After the great response of this savage styler, it was a no brainier to think that Alissa Wilson, fashion blogger of Stylish Curves, would be loved just as much. If not for her personality and owning every inch of her curves, then most definitely for her serious sense of style, usually piled high on a pair of stilettos.

She recently quoted Kimora Lee Simmons on her site, saying, "I read a quote from Kimora Lee Simmons and I believe she summed it best: "Dress like you're going to see your worst enemy!"" Can't think of a better motivation to treat everyday like its made for settling stylish scores, no matter your dress size!

Jessica Quirk should be seen as an inspiration for many fashion bloggers. The What I Wore site creator started her site in May 2007 and decided to take it to the next level, turning her passion into a career. And it would seem her pursuits have paid off, as Quirk has been featured in numerous publications and recently published a book chronicling her relatable 'girl-next-door' sense of style.

Jessica had this inspirational message for anyone wanting to break into fashion:

"I get my fashion kicks out of this blog. I do and make things on the side that let my creativity really come out. I make my own life fashionable, instead of relying on [a] job to make that happen. If you want to be involved in fashion just get out there! Start a blog, cultivate your own personal style and surround yourself with inspiration. If you don’t have a design degree apply to be in the sales department or even the receptionist. Intern!! Its the best way to network and get your foot in the door! Start an online store! Be your own boss. Have fun and get into it. Make the path you want to take. Good Luck!"

The message seems clear and fairly consistent across the board no matter who you ask about breaking into the fashion industry. Persistence, perseverance and patience pays off. It also doesn't hurt to have a unique quality about you. Some call it an "it" factor and in Jessica's case, its most definitely her "quirk" that's bolstered well for her.
