#OntheBlog Reviewing plus size budget friendly maxi dress from @amazonfashion If you're extended size like myself than you know there can be a struggle finding wallet friendly items. Check out the blog for the tea! Link in bio! P.s- I said I was reinstating the Chinese mesh slipper in 2019😋 ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #plussizefashion #extendedsizes #ssbbwfashion #apyblog #plusmaxidress #plusonabudget #sundayswag #blackdress

#OntheBlog Tis the season where "beach bodies" conversations will occur. Let me be very clear that it is my firm belief that once you take your body to the beach it is in fact a beach body. To my non fat folk, do us a favor; please don't tell us how brave we are for wearing swimwear to the beach. Its swimwear, its designed to be worn to the beach or pool. Existing in a fat body is not an act of rebellion nor bravery.

#OntheBlog Today I'm discussing fat phobia and size privilege. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ "I used to be an “acceptable plus body” not too long ago. I was able to shop in stores and wasn’t relegated to the world of online shopping. As someone who’s weight has fluctuated up and down my entire life; I am all too familiar with the differences in privilege.My experiences consist of being applauded for my confidence for simply doing things that straight size body people do like breathing, wearing shorts, leaving my house etc. The oxymoronic nature of these compliments speak volumes to how people systemically view fat bodies." #Linkinbio ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #fatbodies #plusbodies #sizeprivilege #extendedsizes #plusblogger #fatphobia #apyblog

Pockets on dresses are necessity. The Out to Brunch Dress from @taralynnsboutique is giving me style and practicality and I like that! 💃🏾💜 ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #extendedsizes #plussizefashion #ssbbwfashion #apyblog #plusblogger

The plus community is celebrating #anthropologie and their decision to go plus. While it's nice, as often is the case; this inclusion doesn't include extended sizes. Today in my stories I'm sharing the brands that are embracing extended sizes beyond a 4x. Take a look! 👗: @designer_elledove ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #extendedsizes #plussizefashion #ssbbwfashion #resources #plussize #plusblogger #apyblog
