My Fat Outfit Of The Week #1
My Saturday post has been a cathartic emotional release of intense thoughts, opinions, and questions I have had about being fat.
Like this one, where I explain how I learned to live in a world that doesn't have people commenting on my body:
Where Did All The Fat Comments Go?
Don’t get me wrong– fatphobia is still in vogue. Just scroll through any fat person's social media, and you’ll see that hating and commenting on fat bodies hasn’t gone away.
Or— this essay, where I explain my complicated relationship with working out and how I overcame my fear of movement:
I Want To Workout But I Don't Want To Lose Weight

Are you enjoying them? I hope you are.
I’ve been waiting to share my outfits more intentionally with you all, so I will start sharing them weekly.
I shot this outfit with my friend Lydia Hudgens for a fun project I was asked to participate in. I can’t wait to share the details about them, but please enjoy the outfit for now.
I linked the exact pieces I am wearing and added dupes to those no longer available. Enjoy browsing!
Outta Love (Tort) by Le Specs ($65, Lespecs.com)
As a lover of 90s fashion, these sunglasses fit the decade perfectly yet feel timeless. I’ve bought them three times because I get compliments and give them away. Who do I think I am?
The Edie Silk by Hide Dive ($125, Shopberriez.com)
I know the girlies are loving the patch-knitted balaclavas this season, and don’t get me wrong, I am, too! But if you’re looking for an alternative or a small brand to support, I recommend Berriez. They carry many small brands for plus-size shoppers.
Sheer Mesh Top by Nina Parker ($19, Macy’s.com)
The brown mesh top I am wearing is from Wray, but I linked a dupe that I think matches the essence of the outfit.
Briga Bubble Skit By No Less Than ($84, ShopBerriez.com)
This might be the perfect year-round skirt.
PLUS FAUX PU TRENCH COAT ($50, Boohoo.com)
You probably have a trench coat in your closet, so you don’t need to buy one . But, if you don’t check this inexpensive one that goes up to a 4x.
Soho Flap Bag In Signature Textile Jacquard ($395, Coach.com)
My bag was an impulsive purchase I don’t regret at all. Here is another bag in the same color and print.
Curve Charlotte heeled knee boots by ASOS Design ($69, ASOS.com)
I’ve shared these boots many times, and it’s for a reason. With a good insole, I can walk all of New York in them.
Catch up with these…
The coolest girl😍
