Fall is in the air and I had the pleasure of speaking with  Chief of Style’s Amy Stretten to discuss this season hottest must have plus size women wear.  I became a huge fan of Ms. Stretten work after seeing a post of her in a shirt that read “Thick thighs save lives.” I instantly chuckled after seeing the cute customized tee shirt. I had the chance to chat it up about her personal style aesthetics. Check out what she had to say about her love of for fashion and her 5 Must have picks below.

Here is my interview with Chief of Style’s Amy Stretten:

The Culture Keeper: What inspired you to start a fashion blog?
Amy Stretten: I always loved clothes, however clothing stores did not always love me. I was previously a reporter for Fusion TV. I experienced job loss. People would always compliment me on my fashion sensibilities. I then started selling my clothes after experiencing job loss. Moments in my life led me to starting my fashion blog.

The Culture Keeper: Who was your first style icon?
Amy Stretten: My aunt Dottie. My aunt Dottie would buy me dresses and shoes. She would take me out on outings to music concerts. I would be exposed to Chamber music concerts. I experienced going to classical musical performances and having to dress up.

The Culture Keeper: How would you describe your personal style?
Amy Stretten: Eclectic, Prissy. I love tribal prints, biker chick, queer feme. Fashion allows me to tell a story. Clothes can play with your identity.
