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.
What's the deal with most outfit photos being straight on? It really perturbs me when people are worried about which angle or side they are being photographed from. I have been told to lean forward in photographs so that the photo is more flattering. So that my head being closer to the lens will appear larger, therefore making my body look smaller. On the other end, I have been accused of taking my photos in a way that makes me look smaller and then was asked why I was so fat. Alrighty.
lacy sweetheart top : thrifted
floral vintage skirt : fat fancy
jellies : fred meyer
glasses : coastal
I love all my angles. Double-chin, wide body, pudgy arms and a little peek of my chub rub shorts are not a problem. This is me! I walk around in this body all day and people see me from every direction in all sorts of positions and I would rather see the real me in photographs. I would much rather have an album full of candid photographs and toothy grins to look back on when I am 80.
Our clothes are not just stuck to the front of us like paper dolls. So why don't we show more than just the front? Let's get rid of the idea of our "best angle"!
I challenge you to mix it up this week. Let's see those angles!

Those shoes are gorgeous! I have a pair of red jelly ballet flats that i just adore.
I love the idea of taking photos from different angles. I pull the same pose in nearly every photo I take of myself. I really need to mix it up a bit. Thanks for the push!
I love this outfit! Its just so pretty! You look fabulous as always xxx
So pretty! That top is fantastic!
I've been thinking about participating for the last few weeks, and I finally decided to! I made a fairly short post, but I just want to get the word out. I love this series so much, and love the message of self-love and body acceptance!

I love that last photo - so cute! Also - I love that you have a HK tattoo :D
Wouw ... I love that outfit. You soooo good with a skirt. But I have to smile .... :-))) ... I also wear pantys under my skirts.
And ... hey girl ... you have wonderful legs.
No angles for me. Just see through shirts,
Greatest outfit of all time. Fo realz.
Ooh I love this outfit. It's so pretty! And that skirt looks amazing with your hair! Also I'm pretty sure you cosmically wrote this one just to address my whine in my last post about how I avoid showing off my side profile. I totally want to do this, and I will tomorrow (when it's my turn on my shared blog for a post). Do you have a set schedule for these posts? Every Thursday? Every three days? I want to be able to plan ahead--if possible :-)
yay! i am excited, i am totally linking up this week, only probably tomorrow night as we are going out and you know what that means!?! Dressing up. Cant wait. love this link up girl, and you look fabulou!
I love you outfit, that top is really pretty. I so wanna be part of this, I will make my post when I get back to blogging in August! :)
Here's hoping one day I'll get the cojones to participate but until then...I'll just say that you look like a rock star...a super adorable rock star! This dress is great and it looks perfect for summer!
Also...I love the new little bits around your blog!
Is your lipstick the same lipstick I asked about months ago from sephora or is it new...if so...tell me tell me what it is! :)

And when I say dress...I meant skirt/top...I didn't realize until a second look that they were separates!
Gorgeous outfit! When I first started doing outfit photos I was always really nervous about looking fat & I'd immediately delete any photos that I thought made me look fat. These days, it doesn't really worry me so much. I am who I am, and there's no changing it.
Oh Rachele, I just keep falling more and more in love with you! Love this cute, summery outfit and your thoughts on posing - I know it's ridiculous but I am totally guilty of fretting over bad angles. Must stop!
I love your outfit! That top is so pretty. My insecurities have stopped me from doing an outfit post -- I'm going to stop fretting about my appearance/size and just accept the fact that I'm awesome :)
I am pretty sure you are totally adorable at any angle. It's funny that we see things that other people don't notice. It is definitely freeing to let that stuff go and start seeing all good things. Sure makes picking out photos to post easier! :)
Love your attitude! I think fashion blogging is huge for helping with self-confidence.
You must link up at least once!
Yep, same lipstick. I am starting to see the bottom of it and panicking a little. It is my go-to! I tried using some long-lasting lip gloss in red but it just stuck to my teeth and felt like glue on my lips :( I much prefer the Sephora stuff.
Awesome! *does a little dance*
You have a Hello Kitty tattoo?? So jealous! =) You look fantastic, as always!!
I'm really enjoying this link up Rachele! Thanks so much for posting this! So glad I found ya! (: Looking forward to this in the future! Much love from me and my blog! -xo, katlyn from hiddeninlove.com
You are MAGNIFICENT!
Thank you!
You're welcome. I hope you join too!
Yep, it was my first tattoo! It isn't perfect but I still love it. She is has a canary in her hand.
Awesome!
Thank you! I hope to see your side ;)
I post this once a week on Thursday.
Thanks! I got that lacey shirt a really long time ago and didn't know what to do with it and then that skirt came along. It was a match!
Yes! I have seen some cute see-through stuff.
It is a must or chub rub will get me in the worst way! Thank you dear!
Yep, it was my first!
Thank you! It means a lot to me!
Thanks hon! It's not every day that I wear lace and floral together.
It is so hard! I get stuck in a rut. Having the camera remote has helped a lot because then I can get loose and comfortable and silly.
Love this! Im just starting to love myself xo
