For years I lived by rules I never chose:

Cover your arms.
Hide your back rolls.
Don’t wear the bikini.
Don’t stand out.

Holidays felt like a nightmare.

Now?

Arms out.
Back rolls out.
Dressed up.
Laughing.
Making memories.

I’m done waiting for a smaller body to start living.

Your body was never the problem. 🤍

For years, I genuinely believed my body was the problem.

I thought I needed to lose weight before I deserved to wear what I wanted, go on holiday without worrying, or even be in a photo without picking myself apart.

But none of those thoughts were mine to begin with.

They came from years of magazine covers, TV, throwaway comments, diet culture, and a world that told women our worth was measured by how small we could make ourselves.

The truth is, there has never been anything wrong with having a curvy body.

What’s wrong is that so many of us have spent years missing out on life because we were made to feel ashamed of it.

I’m still unlearning those messages. Some days are easier than others. But I refuse to waste any more of my life waiting for a smaller body before I let myself be happy.

If you’ve ever felt like your body was something to apologise for, I hope you know this:

You were never the problem. 🤍

What I wore this week, which outfit is your favourite? 🤔

Easier said than done I know but definitely worth the effort 🤌 Who’s with me? 🤔

AD ~ Got plans but feel like you’ve got nothing to wear… or nothing that fits? 🤍
Whatever’s in your diary, the new collection has you covered.
From 🥂 lunch with the girls, to 🌿 a country walk, to ✨ a dinner date, I’ve styled three looks that prove just how versatile the new collection is 👌
I also love that Seasalt Cornwall has a plus-size range up to size 28, making it even easier to find beautiful, timeless pieces you’ll wear again and again.
So… which look are you choosing first? 👇

* My body isn’t a “before” photo.
* You don’t have to lose weight before you deserve nice clothes.
* Black isn’t the only colour we’re allowed to wear.
* Wearing clothes that fit is more flattering than squeezing into a smaller size.
* Confidence doesn’t have a dress size.
* Covering your arms isn’t a personality trait.
* Fashion should adapt to my body—not the other way around.
* Plus-size women deserve to be seen in campaigns, not hidden on the website.
* Not every plus-size woman wants to “look slimmer.”
* We don’t owe anyone an explanation for our bodies.
* Existing in a bigger body is not promoting obesity.
* Health and body size are not the same thing.
* Life is too short to spend another summer hiding.
* If you’re offended by my body in a swimsuit, that’s your issue—not mine.
* Style has no size limit.

Have I forgotten anything? 🤔

I’ve spent far too many summers hiding.

Hiding my arms.
Choosing outfits based on what covered me up instead of what made me feel good.
Worrying far too much about what strangers might think about my body.

Then I realised something…

We only get, on average, around 80 summers.

I’ve already used more than half of mine worrying about things that never really mattered.

So this summer
Im wearing the sleeveless top.
Im wearing the blue bra.
Im making the memories instead of worrying about my arms.

Because one day, we’ll all wish we had just lived a little more and cared a little less.

If you’ve been waiting until your arms are “good enough”, this is your sign to stop waiting. 🤍

Save this for the days you need the reminder…

Proof an oversized tee and balloon trousers are the perfect combo 👌 And why aren’t we doing still photos anymore? they are so beautiful IMO, oh yes it’s because the algorithm doesn’t like them anymore, oh well it’s fun to break the rules sometimes 😆
