Fall came so I left 😂 Celebrating my friend’s birthday in Mexico this week!! Let the fun beginnnnnnnnn 🥳🥳🥳

Monochromatic dressing does NOT mean matching every piece perfectly. In fact, I think your outfits are SO much better when the colors are just a little bit off from each other 😍

For this brown fall outfit, I mixed chocolate, cognac, cream and caramel tones, then let the different textures do the heavy lifting. Faux fur, leather, soft fabric, suede...same color family, completely different energy.

That’s really the secret to making a one-color outfit feel styled instead of accidental: play with shades, mix textures, then give the eye one little break. And yes, this works for literally ANY color. Burgundy, olive, navy, gray, pink...choose your fighter 😂

What color would you build a head-to-toe monochromatic outfit in first? 👀 Let me know in the comments below! ⬇️

Oh! And you can grab this outfit in my LTK Shop! https://liketk.it/6oHjV

Man I almost had it 🤭 plus size ladies, this is THE outfit for fall!! Where would you wear this??

And just to prove my point, even though I’m normally a size 20/22, I’m wearing this set in a size XXL, which is a 14 for this brand.

That’s why I will forever say the size on the tag is information, not an identity. Every brand decides what their numbers and letters mean, and the garment’s fabric, cut and stretch can completely change how it fits your body.

So measure yourself. Check the size chart. Read the fabric details. And if the size that fits your body is bigger or smaller than what you usually wear, who cares?! 😂

The goal is not to fit into a particular number. The goal is to find clothes that fit you. A bigger size that fits well will always beat a smaller one you have to fight with 💛

💬 What brand’s sizing makes absolutely ZERO sense to you?

I love creating content. But lately, I’ve been a lot more interested in living my life than documenting every second of it. And that means I haven’t been the best at posting consistently 😅

I’m working on building a better system that lets me do both: be present in my life AND still show up here in a way that feels intentional. But I’m also learning not to treat every quiet season like something that needs to be filmed.

Sometimes you’re processing or growing. Sometimes you’re having too much fun to stop and turn the camera on. And all of that is okay!

The world is not entitled to every version of you just because you have a platform. So bear with me while I figure out this new rhythm 💛 I’m still here. I still love this. I’m just making sure I leave space for myself and the people who matter most ♥️♥️♥️

You can be your own best friend or worst enemy. Somebody taught you that “fat” meant undesirable. That certain clothes weren’t for your body. Hear those messages long enough and eventually they start sounding like your own voice.

But a huge part of becoming more confident is asking yourself, “Do I actually believe this, or was I taught to believe it?”

You don’t have to wake up tomorrow loving every inch of yourself. But you can start questioning the beliefs that have kept you hiding, waiting and dressing for everyone except yourself 💕

💬 What’s one lie about your body you’re ready to release?

The more I experiment with fashion, the more I realize that personal style isn’t built by following every “rule.” It’s built by trying things, changing your mind, and figuring out what makes you excited to get dressed. You’ll never know what works until you try it. In fashion or in life 💛

“I can make this work” and “this actually works for me” are two very different things. I’ve spent wayyyy too much time trying to force the wrong things to fit. Clothes that needed constant adjusting. Shoes I couldn’t wait to take off. Relationships I kept giving “one more chance”.

Please hear me when I say this: discomfort is INFORMATION. It’s a signal, and you need to take action lovelies.

You’re allowed to want clothes that feel good on your body. You’re allowed to want relationships where you feel safe, valued and considered. You’re allowed to leave situations that constantly require you to convince yourself you’re happy.

Having standards doesn’t make you difficult or “too much”. It means you know what you want, and you’re not willing to settle until you get it.

What’s something you’ve stopped settling for as you’ve gotten older? 👀

The textures, COLOR, movement, and those little unexpected details had me sold! June + Vie’s fall collection is absolutely worth a look 😍 Which look is your favorite, 1, 2, or 3? 👀💕 Details in the comments below!

People LOVE to push their insecurities and discomfort onto plus size women. A mini skirt becomes “too short.” A crop top becomes “too revealing.” A bodycon dress is suddenly “inappropriate.” And somehow, those same concerns have a funny way of disappearing when the exact same outfit is on a smaller body 👀

And sure, there are dress codes, occasions and places where certain clothes make more sense than others. But there’s a difference between criticizing an outfit because it doesn’t fit the setting and policing a plus size body simply because you can see more of it.

Being plus size doesn’t mean covering up, shrinking yourself or making yourself less noticeable. Wear the mini skirt, the crop top, the bodycon dress. You get one life. Don’t spend another second of it dressing for other people’s comfort.

What’s the most backhanded comment someone has ever made about something you wore?
