My go to garment for the past couple of months has been a plus size wide leg pants. I used to always be a skinny jean kind of girl. Even when I was wearing plus size work pants, they were fitted at the ankle and had a skinny silhouette.

Each year I get more excited about plus size swimwear because there are always more options and innovations—for example, this plus size reversible one piece swimsuit I am wearing.

I used to be so frustrated that plus size swimwear looked like tankinis, high-waist diaper bikini bottoms, and full coverage one pieces for the longest time. But plus size swimwear has evolved over the years, and I couldn’t be happier about it.

While shopping online definitely has its cons, it gives me the opportunity to be more creative than ever—whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing. Sometimes I’ll look at different pieces of clothing and piece together unique looks even if it may be risky as I don’t actually know what it will look like in real life. This plus size latex mini skirt

This outfit from Fashion Nova Curve is a perfect example of how creative I like to get when shopping online.

If you’re wondering what is chub rub and how to stop it, I will share my tried and true methods for protecting my inner thighs!

Summer has to be one of my least favorite seasons for the simple reason that it’s just hard to be a carefree, fun-loving, and fashionable fat girl during the hotter days. Why? One of the biggest things that stand in my way of having the best summer ever is chub rub—and I know every thick, plus size woman can relate.

Since the world went into quarantine as COVID-19 started to spread, many people turned to fun DIY projects to do at home, and I have turned to plus size tie-dye loungewear.

Tie-dying anything and everything you could is one of the most popular quarantine activities. And while I think tie-dye is so fun, I never got around to actually creating some masterpieces of my own. I used to tie-dye T-shirts in high school all the time and I have even dabbled in swirling toilet bleach onto old, black shirts and shorts back in my days as a teen.

When it comes to shopping for plus size clothing, SHEIN has to be the brand I get the most questions about, and rightfully so. When you shop online at SHEIN, you’ll notice bold plus size styles and super cheap prices. But you’ll also see that not all of the clothing is modeled on plus size women. Many of the bolder styles are flat lays, which make it hard to see how it could look on your body.

When a follower and friend reached out to me on Instagram and told me I should try shopping Nasty Gal’s plus size clothing, I was surprised to learn that the brand carried clothing for plus size women. And I’m not sure how I didn’t know…given that I absolutely worship Sophia Amoruso, the founder of Nasty Gal.

Does Nasty Gal have plus sizes?

I went straight to the Nasty Gal plus size clothing section hoping that I would stumble upon a gold mine of cute plus size clothing.

These days, anything wild will have to come in the form of a bold print or outfit, because I haven’t left my apartment in more than a month—other than to go to the grocery store.

I threw on this Charmed Leo Mini Dress from Common Assembly one day to film a TikTok—because that’s what quarantine will do to you…lol. I ended up staying in the dress all day because it felt good to walk past the mirror every once and a while and see myself in an unfamiliar state: dressed.

As you know, I have been picking certain days of the week to dress up—even though I am staying home to help flatten the Coronavirus curve—to boost my confidence and feel some kind of normalcy. On days when I am not feeling very confident, I will turn to clothes to improve my mood. And being quarantined since the middle of March has really been hard on my self-esteem. I have been trying to keep busy with work while also spicing things up by adding new routines and habits to my day.

I am always on the hunt for a good plus size mini skirt, but I feel like they are few and far between.  Because I am only 5’2, a lot of minis don’t fit me the way they are supposed to fit taller plus size figures, which sucks because I actually love a good mini fit. To add insult to injury, most plus size brands rarely ever sell actual mini skirts. Who told these brands that curvy girls didn’t wear or want short skirts?!
