I normally title this first section ‘why them’ in my notes. It’s a prompt for me to talk about why I chose the person, why they are steal her style worthy. And for Gabi I had one simple word scribbled down ‘essential’. Because as far as I’m concerned having Gabi featured in this post series is as no brainer as breathing or waking up in the morning by opening your eyes. Gabi has done all sorts of wonderful for plus size fashion, for plus size bloggers and for women who just want to wear what they want! Gabi of GABIFRESH was an essential inclusion… So let’s get started shall we!?
THE LOOK
Gabi is a big advocate for wearing what you like, when you like, as you like it. So her style is reflective of that. It’s bright and fun and all kinds of funky. Modern trendy would be an understatement. But then to me, there’s something really classic about the look too. Simple lines, beautifully cut pieces make up the majority of Gabi’s wardrobe and this is something you should look to replicate if you’re stealing her style. Start with good wardrobe bones and build from there.
Once you have the bones in place now it’s time to amp up the fun factor. Shop everywhere, buy, swap and borrow items that call to you. Think textures of mixed fabrics and the clash of colours and prints. Then when you’ve got those items start layering and don’t stop until you’re having fun. Add accessories, make you hair style one of them, glasses, belts, bags and funky shoes. Build an outfit that is entirely and uniquely you. Then you’re rocking it, Gabi style.

Thanks lovely! She’s a bit fabulous.
Oh my gosh, I love everything Gabi wears 😀
Pretty darn cool, right Sarah! LOVE.
Can I confess that I didn´t know who Gabi was? A mistake I´m mending this very minute since I loved every single pic you post it here and can´t wait to check her blog archives.
Of course you can confess! AS LONG AS you got your butt straight over there and checked her out. Haha. She’s got SUCH a great style.
She is gorgeous, the pics are gorgeous, I wish I had a role model when I was younger but at least my girl has one, thanks for links too.
Love love her style
Absolutely. I totally agree. We need more diversity to show young girls to prove to them that unique is beautiful, unique is perfect.
Love Gabi’s style, and love that digital print tee. I think it would look fab under a leather jacket.
Me too, very very cool. And yes, I absolutely agree!
Thanks for the kind words! Love your picks 🙂
Babe, you need to come to Australia for the summer and escape the winter chills 😉 x
You’re welcome! And phew, that’s always a bit stressful. 😉
