About

Kimberly is a plus-size style and fashion expert, writer, and founder of VSG — Very Stylish Girl. A frontline leader in size inclusion long before the industry embraced “plus-size,” she has spent decades shaping how women size 14+ are styled, seen, and served. Her career spans fashion direction, retail buying, merchandising, and celebrity styling—from New York City’s legendary Seventh Avenue to the couture energy of Paris and beyond.


Kimberly’s writing blends practical wardrobe intelligence with cultural insight, celebrating milestone style, confidence, and Greater Later living for women 40+. Her work has appeared in and alongside leading fashion and culture publications, and her voice continues to shift the conversation from “hide it” to “wear it well—and own the room.” She writes for the grown woman: boardroom to boarding gate, with polish, power, and purpose.

THE 70+ BLACK CLASSIC
Aging Ain’t Fading - Still Saying Yes Still saying yes—to friendship, faraway places, a raised glass and the freedom to reinvent the woman in the mirror. Even the blonde wig. Aging Ain’t Fading. Aging is truly a point of view—even when the number roll call begins with a seven. Sometimes the proof is not found in a speech, a statistic or a milestone headline. Sometimes it is found in something quieter, but no less powerful: Two grown women raising a glass. Still making plans. Still open to...
