PHAT GIRL FRIDAY with DonniNicole

The beautiful ladies that are DonniNicole, Sparkle Hyche(in pink leggings) and Monique Dickinson.

First let me start by saying Happy P.H.A.T GIRL FRIDAY!!! It is important to maintain your happy at any cost, because if mama aint happy............ AINT NOBODY HAPPY!!  So, I hope that you all are able to enjoy your weekend and do something that brings you joy.  I know that most (if not all) of you love fashion and have your own unique styles.  Which is why I am sure that you know fashion tends to back track from time to time and now is one of those times.  Vintage clothing is very big in the fashion industry right now. Consignment shops, Goodwill locations and other boutiques are experiencing a boost in sales.  Some people say that it is due to the economy but I beg to differ.  People are learning to appreciate past fashion and merging it with their own personal style.  Nearly every woman I know is thrift shopping and/or making purchases from vintage dealers or stylist.  I must admit, I love it!!  I hate dressing straight off the rack because it doesn't show any uniqueness, and you are guaranteed to find yourself dressed like someone else. However, when you wear vintage clothing, you get unique pieces that display the classic looks of the past. If you like vintage clothing, there is a name that you must know.................. DonniNicole!!!!

DonniNicole is an online vintage boutique co-owned by Monique N. Dickinson and Sparkle Hyche.  These beautiful, intelligent, talented ladies are celebrity stylist that cater to the needs of fashion forward men and women.  Although the boutique came into existence 3 years ago, these ladies have been styling and working with/in the fashion industry for more than 10 years.  They are not your average stylist, they create looks and do things with clothing that start trends.  Their obvious passion for fashion is displayed in every piece that they carefully hand pick.  I know many of stylist( I aspire to myself be one) but I have the highest regard for what these lady's do and how they do it.  I have been using their pictures as references and learning tools every since they emerged.  Many times it is hard for a smaller frame woman to understand clothing in regards to a women with extra curves.  However, these ladies have mastered that art, their full figured clients are proof of that, because they are all P.H.A.T GIRL FRESH!!!  While many other vintage boutiques struggle to find clothing for P.H.AT GIRLS, DonniNicole finds it easy because they travel and connect with wholesaler all over the country.  To me that spells dedication because they could easily have taken the easier route and just focused of  women with smaller frames.  Both of the ladies have stated that their business has tripled since their humble beginnings.  Some may think that DonniNicole's success is due to the popularity of vintage clothing, but I beg to differ.

I think that Monique and Sparkle are both blessed with the God given ability to connect with women, which is probably how they give birth to such a beautiful friendship/partnership/sisterhood.  They both genuinely care about women, they take pride in making women look and feel good.  They are both goal oriented, driven women, all of these things are the reason that DonniNicole is a huge success. I love a statement that Monique made, "our customers feel like they are buying into DonniNicole's brand as opposed to vintage shopping because we style each piece individually."  I have known Sparkle for years and her light has always shined.  Her star power has been obvious maybe even from birth(the name may be an indicator).  I have never seen her out of character, she is always a beautiful, fun loving ray of light.  Through my Facebook interactions, I can tell why her and Monique are best friends.  Monique displays that same kind, fun loving spirit that Sparkle has.  These ladies have made their dreams reality and in the process did the same for others.  They use their gifts to be a gift which is why their territory is continuously enlarged.

As we all know, fashion is constantly changing and the demand for vintage clothing may decline.  However, these ladies will continue to be at the fore front of fashion.  If you have not had a DonniNicole experience, you are missing out and my advice to you is to do so soon!!!  Size is not an issue, DonniNicole gives the everyday woman a red carpet look for an unmatched price.
