My mission:
All sizes are beautiful! Don't be ashamed of your number or keep it from living your life and doing what you love. There is no perfect or wrong size. It doesn't determine our worth and nobody has the right to judge someone's health by their size. So let's show the world that every size can be happy and that we are not ashamed!
How to participate:
I would love to see all different sizes represented in this link up. Whether you are a 0 or 32, participate! This is a weekly feature so each link up will be open for one week. You can add your link anytime during the week. All genders, sexes and non-genders are welcome to join in. Use whatever sizing you are most familiar with. You can link up with me every week with a new post or join in every once in a while! The rules are simple. Post a photo of yourself on your blog, being stylish that week. Post a full body shot, so head to toe! State your size in your blog post or with a graphic on your photo. No diet talk, weight loss talk, negativity or any type of body shaming allowed. This is about being happy with your size and shape, not because it is socially acceptable, healthy or better than others. Then come back here and add your link using the link tool at the end of this post.
I have been through a bazillion summers without shorts. It isn't too inconceivable since we don't get very hot summers but believe me, I was suffering. I passed up on buying summer clothes and wearing shorts because I was uncomfortable with how I looked in them. But not this summer! I noticed some stretchy shorts popping up in plus sized clothing stores and thought to myself that I really needed to get my hands on a pair. Stretchy shorts. Because I attempted to wear shorts last year but they were not stretchy and a couple squats to set up a tent later, they were ripped to pieces. Sad! I was ready to give up. Instead, I wished to the thrifting gods to bestow with a pair of these holy shorts. And it worked! The next time we went thrifting, I found this pair from Dress Barn in size 20. I really love them! They are high waisted AKA I can pull them up really high, which I like. Also, I think I look cute and awesome in them.

Don't let anyone tell you that you can't wear shorts or that you have to be miserable in the summer because you can't show any skin. I feel more confident and happier when I am not hiding in uncomfortable clothes sweating my ass off. These chunky legs are gonna be visible this year!
I stick out my tongue and middle finger out to the rules! Fuck being told what you can and cannot wear. Every size and shape should wear shorts, tight clothes, stripes, drop waists or whatever we want!
I can't wait to see your links this week! Try breaking a "rule"!

I love your "screw the rules" attitude. I think everyone should try various shapes, etc. to see what works for them. If I listened to the rules, I'd be wearing the pear-shaped flattering empire waist, however, that shape makes me look like a frumpy sack of potatoes. No thanks!
I am all about "screw the rules!" If I want to dress like Minnie Mouse then damn it I will! I am 32 years old which makes me old enough to know I can do whatever I want and answer to nobody. :) x
incredible tattoos x
Thank you for what you do.
I adore this outfit on you! Screw the rules. Who made the rules anyway? People we don't need in our lives. People who think they have a right to tell us what we can and cannot do with our bodies. Screw them and their stupid rules. Shorts for all!!
This is awesome. I too avoided shorts for most of my life. Partially due to my size and partially sue to a hurtful comment about a birthmark on my leg that I received as a young'un. I think those look amazing on you, and your body temperature will thank you for it!
I'm in love with this outfit, that top is gorgeous. Also, the side-swept asymmetrical thing your hair has going on lately looks awesome.
Yes yes yes to screw the rules. I'm obsessed with wearing shorts all the time and it doesn't matter what size I am. I was so surprised when my ("perfectly" proportioned, size two) sister told me she felt really self conscious in shorts. It became my goal in life to see her wear a pair, and we totally found a great pair for when she goes to Hawaii in a few weeks to get married. It's a happy ending, but I was so surprised to hear about her insecurities. I'm glad you got over them, too--your legs look absolutely delicious in those shorts!
You look like your having so much fun! I love It! Cant wait to link up!
Yay for rule breaking! I did that too recently only with *gasp* white pants! You know what? I love them! You will prob love shorts too. I love mine.

I've been absent from the blogging world for a while but I am so glad to be back. I LOVE YOUR HAIR, btw. It's so firey! And you look so sassy and happy in these pictures. I love it! xx
I wanted to break the "No fat chicks in see-through tops" rule so badly, but I'm still searching for the perfect one... TBC!
Oooo have you seen Domino Dollhouse blouses?!
i loooove you in shorts ! soooo ridiculously cute !
I gotta find me some shorts! I keep trying, but I haven't found that golden pair yet. Some day I will stumble upon a pair of shorts that I can be girlfriends with...
Yes!!! I too have not worn shorts in YEARS because of my pale-ass chubby legs. And this year, I have decided to wear shorts. For real. And it feels fantastic!!!
Hurrah for shorts wearing! Hurrah for women wearing whatever the bollocks hell they want! You look amazeballs in them, and I think your fat acceptance work is magic.
Thanks also for drawing attention to chunky dunk. I LOVE it and will be looking to set up something here...
Awesome! I think everybody should have it available in their town.
Haha, it was total magic. I swear I found a pair within days after the thought crossed my brain. Weird!
Shit, I have a few see-though tops that I should wear with my bikini. IF IT EVER GETS HERE IN THE MAIL. I am dying to wear that thing.
Welcome back! Thanks! I am dying it again now so it will be even crazier :)
Yes shorts rule. I may be changing into them every day after work :)
Yes! Awesome!
I might be obsessed too soon! I never considered shorts for some odd reason and now I love em.
Thanks! I am trying to grow out the long side a little bit more.
What a jerk! I have always thought birth marks were so beautiful and interesting, like a natural tattoo or something. I hope you are rocking the shorts now!
I don't know...but I have always been anti-dresscode and all sorts of rules that tell me what I can and can't wear. I will not conform!
I do what I do.
Haha, I like that description of your style! I know what you mean. I am almost 30 and I am feeling pretty darn free to do what I want now.
I would hate to have to wear the same shape all the time. I would much rather experiment too!
I FUCKING LOVE YOU.
Seriously. YOU are the booommmbbb! <3 I have gone all my life feeling too fat (And sweating under hoodies&jeans in the summer)- which is crap because I am beautiful! Sometimes it's hard to remember that. Now I wear mini skirts. I am done with 'beauty' standards. I don't always shave my legs and I am a size 18 (UK).
I LOVE YOU. kxo
