Phuck Yo Standards

Pants & Necklace - Rainbow, Crop top - F21, Vest - adapted by me

A few weeks ago I was scrolling through Instagram and showed a group of my coworkers a look I liked from another plus size fashion blogger. She was a shorter woman that had a little stomach and was wearing a crop top. My coworkers pretty much unanimously dissed her look saying she should "dress for her body". Now mind you this isn't the first time Ive heard that but at that point it occurred to me the issue with that statement is that it that the opinion is not the persons own. People say "dress for your body" but they really mean dress according to the standard that society has suggested according to YOUR body. If a big girl with a little tummy is comfortable bearing her midriff then who says she's not dressing for her body? Fashion is a form of SELF expression how is anyone going to tell you how you feel about YOURSELF? So I say phuck the standards! Dress for YOUR mood and how you perceive and want to adorn/display YOUR body. The only persons whose opinion that should matter is your own. This ones for all the big girls that got told crop tops weren't for them

Talk Down On Me Im Flattered.

I wore a more sporty version of this outfit to a recent Bulls game. I've become very found of onesies; they make a super streamlined silhouette and can be paired with almost anything. One downside is some of them snap at the bottom (yes like when you were 7) and thats super inconvenient at times. I was weary of the vest at first too especially with my proportions of having an extremely short torso and long legs; but its a nice alternative to a jacket or sweater and a subtle block when I dont want to draw attention to my backside. These leggings are easily my favorite new item. Leather can be tricky as times but as long as there's sufficient stretch and they're thick enough it works.

Plus Size Kim K

Anyone who knows me knows I love Kim Kardashian West. Over the years Ive been completely obsessed with her style. Shes such a big influence in today's fashion. For this shoot I channeled my inner KKW and pretended I was actually staying at this fancy hotel waiting to go to an event of course taking selfies while I waited for my car. When I first saw her in her fitted midi length turtle neck dress I just had to have one like it. Luckily  REBDOLLS supplied my needs. I'm not usually a fan of turtle necks. Even when I was younger I refused to wear them.Same still applies the rest of the dress is so comfortable thick with just enough stretch but I definitely prefer my neck to be free. Anyways, Happy birthday to the baddest MILF around!
