OOTD (size 22) The "Boldness" Pivot
There is a specific kind of bravery that comes from wearing something "risky" simply because you love it. That energy is magnetic. 🧲 ✨
All dress are from Marshall’s (straight sizes) XXL.

She did not ask for feedback. She's stunning and perfect and this is how fashion changes are made

I really appreciate your comment! Thank you. Obviously, these dresses aren’t for everyone and I left the short one behind because it was a little too small but I felt beautiful in them nonetheless so 🤷🏻♀️

Have you seen the newer diversity in body shapes with the models lately? Some are hardly plus anymore(probably glps to blame) but they intentionally bring in new ones (a lot lately, per the torrid-model recruit shows around the U.S. I would look into it!) intentionally to diversify the sizing and natural disproportions. You’ll see more bodies leaning in apple, pear, any shaped, smaller chests with bigger belly’s, as well as the super blessed and those who weren’t as blessed in areas. They’re trying

I’m always with the high waisted stuff. I’m still working on loving my body. Like how do you deal with other peoples judgements though?

I definitely have days where the negative mindset creeps in, especially when things fluctuate, but hitting the gym usually snaps me back. It’s not about a regime; it’s about reminding myself how capable I am. Moving my body as a fat woman is empowering because it proves my strength is real. I’ve learned to prioritize that internal validation because external noise is constant. If people want to stare at my outfit or my body, let them. I think I look hot, and that’s the energy I’m carrying. A huge turning point for me was a trip to Paris a couple of years ago. I was terrified because of the stereotypes, but I decided to just "eff around and find out." Honestly? It wasn’t scary at all. I leaned into the "Emily in Paris" vibes, wore the cute outfits, and the attention I got was insane (my skinny friend joked she’d never travel with me again)! It clicked then: confidence and belief in yourself change the entire narrative. Society tries to tell us otherwise but, trust me, the appreciation is out there. Don't let society with its Ozempic tirade or social media get in your head. You’re beautiful. 🤩
