Going into stores used to give me major anxiety... While everyone around me could easily shop for clothes, I was usually stuck getting creative with stretch fabrics or browsing the accessories section. As the wisdom that comes with age helps me settle into self-acceptance though, I realize that not being able to easily shop for clothes all those years is what ignited my passion for other aspects of fashion and style. And I realize now that leaving stores empty handed challenged me to get creative with getting dressed in general, which made me appreciate fabrics, prints, color and most of all: how accessories can take a look from basic to bold with a simple addition of a statement necklace and the right bag! My point is this, friends: sometimes the thing that made you insecure all those years, is actually what makes you uniquely YOU. ❤️ #positivityiskey #itsamindset #bodypos #curvyconfidence #stylehasnosize

What’s a girl to do when she finds an amazing pa

What’s a girl to do when she finds an amazing pair of jeans that fit her curves like a glove?! Share the love, of course! While I love skirts and dresses, a cute top and jeans will forever be my go-to outfit, especially when the jeans are this GOOD. These are a recent @WalmartFashion find and they’re under $25! The silhouette is my fave high-waist skinny, which does wonders to define the waist and show off hips and curves no matter your shape or size, while smoothing out the tummy area as well. Best of all, they’re available in size 00-22. This bodysuit has been on repeat this season, which I now have in several colors and plan to snag in the short sleeve version as well. 🥳 Links to shop are in my story, as well as my BIO and http://liketk.it/2TsR4 #liketkit @liketoknow.it #sponsored #WalmartFashion #SofiaJeans #curvyfashion #curvystyle

As we all know, the financial challenges small business owners are facing due to the effects of the pandemic continue to grow. As a self-employed entrepreneur, I’m thankful for financial guidance leaders like @Intuit who are going the extra mile to help companies like mine navigate the complexities of business and personal finances at a time when we need it most. If you or a small business owner you know needs help understanding financial options and government initiatives during Covid-19, I encourage you to explore Intuit’s resources and pass on this information to anyone else who can benefit from it. After all, we’re in this together, so doing everything we can to help our favorite small businesses arm themselves with knowledge and resources, could be an important factor in keeping their business afloat during this uncertain time. ❤️ More info. and direct links to resources are in my story. #sponsored #stylehasnosize #curvyfashion #curvystyle #curvyblogger

From a young age, we’re made to feel as if we’re in competition with one another, but that’s never been my outlook. To me, the only person you should be in competition with are previous versions of yourself, and anyone who says you can’t be who or what you want to be. The older I get, the more I realize how important it is for us to be allies — because if there’s anyone who’s going to lift you up when you’re down, show you your worth and shake the insecurity out of you when you need it most, it’s a collective of powerful, outspoken, unapologetically badass WOMEN! 💪 So cheers to making room for everyone to succeed, genuinely celebrating each other’s victories, and choosing friendship & sisterhood over competition, always. ❤️ Thank you @catthomsonbeauty @walkinwonderland @thesimpleglamazon for nominating me, the admiration is mutual! // EDIT: It’s come to my attention that the true meaning behind this movement is to unite against the rising atrocities women are facing in Turkey, specifically sparked by the murder of 27 yr old #PinarGultekin. I stand in solidairity with my Turkish sisters and all women, always. #challengeaccepted #womensupportingwomen #womenempowerment #empoweredwomenempowerwomen #bettertogether

This quote hit me hard, and it couldn’t be more

This quote hit me hard, and it couldn’t be more true... all my life I hated being a bigger girl; Always the tallest in the class with the biggest feet, bra in the 2nd grade, acne in the 4th, started my period in 6th, size 14 hips in 7th, the list goes on...

I spent so many years questioning WHY I was the big one amongst my 4 sisters who are all physically “perfect.” At 12 I prayed for an eating disorder so I could be thin like the models and actresses I saw on TV and in magazines. I wanted to look like THAT. So I starved myself, learned to binge and purge, abused diet pills, then started exercising excessively at 18, all because I wanted to obtain a standard of beauty I saw reflected in the media. It wasn’t until the excessive exercise and malnutrition caused my knee cartilage to deteriorate and I could barely walk at 27, that I got a major wake-up call. If I can’t walk, how would I workout to maintain the body I already had such a hard time maintaining?

After lots of self-reflection and digging DEEP, I finally started embracing my body in its natural, curvy state. 2 years after starting my recovery to self-love and body confidence, I started Girl with Curves as a way to reclaim and express love for the body I loathed most of my life.

Today over 9 years later, I get to connect with over a million women through the GWC Community, sharing my journey to achieving self-love, while proving Style Has No Size along the way.

Never in a million years did I think I could be happy in this body. Just goes to show that the thing you think is so “wrong” with you, could be what you end up embracing wholeheartedly, and you just might end up inspiring others to do the same. You ALL keep me going everyday, so thank you for your love and support always, friends. ❤️ #selflovejourney #bopowarrior #selflove #curvyconfidence #embraceyourself

(Almost) Every DM Lately: You’ve slimmed down, w

(Almost) Every DM Lately: You’ve slimmed down, what’s your secret? Me: Weight comes and goes, but self-care is forever. 🥰

Real Talk, friends: self-care is the most important thing you can do for yourself, especially during times of uncertainty and unrest, because that’s when your mind and body need it most.

There I was back in March juggling work, homeschooling a Kindergartner, caring for a 2 yr old, household chores and meal-prep, when I burst into tears one day. It was only 1 pm, but I was tired, burnt out and stressed, both mentally and physically. I was unhappy, uninspired, anxious and depressed. I felt stuck in the same routine of hustling on autopilot to the point of burn out for years, but everything finally came crashing down that day. I had LOST MYSELF.

I made a list of all the things I wanted to change, the things I wanted back... so many simple things I had somehow lost along the way of becoming a wife, running a business, becoming a mom...

I was going to start prioritizing self-care. I wanted to FEEL good, from the inside out. I wanted to sleep better, and finally tackle the stress and anxiety I was convinced my body had manifested in the form of constant migraines, back, neck and syatica pain.

Through lots of research, patience, time and practice, daily self-care became habit, and it felt so good! Today I’m still practicing those same self-care habits, including fueling my body with nutrients I never even knew existed, and I feel great in knowing that I’m doing everything in my power to nurture my mind and body the way it deserves. The moral of the story: Take care of yourself. Whatever that means for you, start today and don’t ever stop — there’s nothing better than FEELING good from the inside out. ❤️ #wellnessjourney #bopojourney #selflovejourney #bodypositive #curvyconfidence

As lovely as heels look with certain outfits, the

As lovely as heels look with certain outfits, the myth that they’re the only footwear choice that looks flattering, simply isn’t true! #GWCtip: Pulling off flats with dresses and skirts is all about finding the right style shoe. My go-to is always a classic pointed toe in black or nude, because they pair well with everything. The pointed toe not only looks sleek, they also elongate your legs in the same way wearing heels does, especially when wearing a nude that’s the same color as your skin. If there’s only one flat you add to your wardrobe, definitely go with a pointed toe in your perfect shade of nude or classic black — you’ll literally be able to pair them with every outfit in your wardrobe! ☺️#flatshoes #curvyfashion #curvystyle #curvyconfidence #curvyblogger

I used to be so insecure about summer because I thought I didn’t have the legs to pull off shorts. What I realized after years of self-esteem building and daily effort that still continues today, is that it wasn’t my legs that held me back from wearing what I wanted — it was my lack of confidence and the belief that I didn’t deserve to wear certain things because my body didn’t look like the models and actresses I saw in the media, therefore it wasn’t worthy of praise, love or admiration, let alone wearing cute clothes. Now I wear all the things I used to be afraid of, because life is too short to be at war with yourself, and it’s way too hot to not wear the shorts! So this is me telling you to wear the shorts and anything else you want, friends! PUT YOUR CONFIDENCE ON FIRST. 😘❤️ #bodypositive #curvyfashion #curvystyle #embraceyourself #curvyconfidence

From the perfect midi length, the prettiest floral print, to sleeve details that mimic a flower petal– not to mention the fact that it’s classy yet effortless enough to wear no matter what the day brings, this dress is what dreams are made of. 🙌🏼 More in my story. #sponsored #stylehasnosize #classicstyle #curvyfashion #curvystyle #curvyconfidence

Two different bodies, equally cute in the same spaghetti strap top. 🥰 Moral of the story: wear what you love, my friends! Wear the sleeveless top even if your arms aren’t thin, and wear the tight jeans even if your tummy isn’t flat — no one is “perfect,” there’s no such thing! Put your confidence on first and rock it, because #StyleHasNoSize 😘❤️ #allbodiesarebeautiful #embraceyourself #curvyconfidence #bodypositive #embraceyourbody #allbodiesaregoodbodies

#sponsored I’ve said it for years and I’ll keep saying it: you don’t have to spend a ton of money on clothes to look and feel amazing! However, you DO have to spend some time giving those clothes some extra TLC if you want them to last. Today on the blog I’m sharing my top 5 tips for making your clothes last longer, starting with the most important one of all: use a gentle detergent! My current fave is Ivory Gentle Aloe Scent Laundry Detergent by @IvorySoap, which is tough on dirt, food and stains, but it’s also hypoallergenic, which means it’s free of harmful ingredients and gentle on the skin, making it safe for the entire family and the planet. Read my full list of tips on GirlWithCurves.com. Available at @Walmart. #IvoryGentleAloe #howtostyle #curvystyle #curvyfashion
