I have been a HUGE fan of Erin's for a while now, so imagine how shocked I was when I just decided to up and "fan-girl-email" her, and she actually RESPONDED. Her blog is awesome, and a little bit of a big deal, if you ask me. It's called ZERO STYLE, and you need to start reading it, now!
Why "Zero Style?"
A lot of people ask me about my blog's name, so to make it short
and sweet- it's a spin off from my tumblr, which was named after the
Shellshag song "Zero Girl."

Why do you blog?
I
have blogged in one capacity or another for about ten years now. I
started casually blogging about fashion about 4 years ago, when I
discovered fatshion blogs on Tumblr and started to see fashion as
something that IS accessible to me. I only began to take it more
seriously last August, when I started Zero Style. I feel that by
examining fashion from my perspective (a fat Midwesterner whose personal
style is all over the place and always changing), I'm offering a unique
voice in a sea of fashion blogger conformity. Just as I was inspired by
my favorite fatshion bloggers years ago, I want to inspire other women
to take more risks with their look and stop listening to arbitrary
rules.
Any favorite posts you've written?
My
personal favorite post was my New Year's post from this year. If you go
back through my archives, you will see that it's me following through
on one of my resolutions, going from almost giving up on my blog to
dedicating myself to producing higher quality (and quantity) content for
my readers. I set some more goals for 2013 in it, and I can't wait to
go back at the end of the year and see if I've followed through on the
rest of them! http://www.zerostyleblog.com/
What is an average day for you?
I
go to my day job at a funeral home, come home for a short break to pet
my dogs, then go to my night job as brand manager for Re/Dress. Re/Dress
is a small, independent plus size vintage and modern boutique for folks
sizes 14 and up. It's my favorite job ever, by far! But it makes for a
very long day. In my very small amount of free time on the weekends, I
like to do yoga and thrift.
Loves:
My favorite band is My Bloody Valentine, my favorite color is neon pink, and my favorite drink is bourbon.
Furry Babies:
I
have two little dogs that my boyfriend and I really do consider to be
our children. We have Tallulah, our three and a half year old super tiny
super sassy Boston terrier, and Bill Murray The Dog, our three year old
Mini Schnauzer who is the most loyal little teddy bear. I also have
lots of succulents and a big Marimo ball. (I do find it slightly odd how
much I love to nurture animals and plants, yet don't do well with
children.)
Bloggers whom you enjoy:
GabiFresh,
Nicolette Mason, Latter Style, Fashion Hayley, and Franceta Johnson. I
think they all put out very different, but equally high quality and
aspirational content. They inspire me to step my game up and push my
boundaries.
Philosophy:
So yeah, I am basically in love with her.
