I’m truly so torn my girls! this kind of styling is a little out of comfort zone (confidence doesn’t come from comfort zones am I right? 🤌🏼) so we’re doing the dang thing and we’re going to shine regardless! what should I wear?!

#LTKootd

I’LL WEAR IT THAT WAY!!!

love how these turned out for our girls getaway weekend with @vibeepresents 🪩 featuring the most universal cargo pant I’ve ever owned because these fit our two different body types so beautifully! prepare to be sick of me dropping BSB content because I will never get over the magic of the girlhood that was this night 💫

#LTKootd

this is a body that workouts 3-5x a week.
this is a body that lifts heavy.
this is a muscular, strong, toned body.
🍑

building color & function into a closet I love this summer 🤌🏼 @abercrombie

#LTKootd #LTKMidsize

been hearing that buttercream is my signature color and I’d have to agree 🧈 yellow has lit up my world and I am loving leaning in!! the breeze was a paid actor 🤌🏼
💛
I followed the urge to give both of these dresses their main character moment last night and wore yellow to dinner followed by blue to the show 🦋 it felt like the best way to honor the Gemini in me: indecisive always yet so sure of who she is. wild and free, playful and sexy, confident and seen.
🪩
@oliviadeano art of loving album has seen me through some of the biggest growth of my adult life. so in the words of the woman who helped heal my soul “I won’t fall back, if I fall forward” 🫶🏻

Olivia Dean fit inspo, but make it a group project!!! which one should I wear tonight bestie?!
🦋
Olivia Dean has me choosing between buttercream and polka dots and honestly? let her COOK. this is dopamine dressing for The Art of Loving 🤌🏼

#LTKootd #LTKgrwm

does Sam know enough @oliviadeano to be my date?!
🤞🏼
thankfully he passed but real talk he raised the husband bar once again & picked up an extra trip so that he could get us tickets to the artist I’ve not only come to love but the songs that I leaned on during this postpartum season. so he was coming either way

#LTKootd

a realistic vacation 🌴 with two boys ages 3.5 and 10.5 months 🙃

all those picture-perfect photos of families of four living their best lives? maybe that’s reality for some, but I can assure you…we were not the only ones at our resort fighting for our lives most days.
😅
if you’re doing hard things in a season that’s working against you, I honestly think that makes you an even more powerful parent. because your kids are seeing you show up even when it’s hard. even when emotions are high and morale is low. you’re doing the dang thing! you’re setting the tone for a life well lived.
🌊
motherhood isn’t an aesthetic, you don’t have to keep up here — just keep showing up. that’s enough 🫶🏻

the style that broke my DMs and is now fully restocked!!!
👗
I’ve worn this for everything from family photos to date nights to baby showers 🤌🏼 I swear it is the sisterhood of the traveling dress because it looks fire on every single body type and is so comfortable and versatile! I’m wearing a L in all styles 💛

plot twist: I had stretch marks BEFORE I had a baby and that was more than okay too 💛

#LTKootd #LTKmomlife

I used to put towels over my belly at the pool when I ate out of fear of being judged for being a bigger girl. as if I wasn’t allowed to EAT which is actually absurd because imagine being so brainwashed by society feeling like I can’t fuel my own body to literally remain alive and simply exist?
💛
if you’ve been here since the beginning, you know my story.
if you’re new here, welcome to the party.
⚡️
spend enough time with me and you’re going to become the most confident, unapologetic version of yourself & we’re just getting started 🫶🏻

#LTKootd #LTKMidsize #LTKmomlife

bestie your body is the least most interesting thing about you so start pissing more people off by being yourself and start gaining the ones who actually belong here amongst your magic ⚡️

my favorite part of camping is going to Cabo instead 🤷🏻‍♀️🌴 happy 4th! 🩵

I didn’t wake up today and decide to be courageous. I decided to go to the beach…those are not the same thing.
💯
bikinis are made of fabric and elastic, not bravery. my body doesn’t need a pep talk to be in public. it doesn’t need main-character music playing while I walk to the water. it’s just there. doing what bodies do. EXISTING, in a bikini, on a Thursday.
👙
most often when someone finds my safe space here on the internet, they struggle with needed permission to show up in a swimsuit looking like this…stretch marks, soft belly, thighs that touch. like their body has to earn the right to be seen near water.
🌊
it didn’t. it doesn’t. it never did.
💯
we don’t call a thin woman “brave” for wearing a swimsuit. she’s just wearing one. the second my body doesn’t match hers, it’s suddenly an act of defiance? NO. i’m not defying anything. i’m just existing in the body I have, in the outfit appropriate for the weather.
☀️
so no applause needed. no “you go girl.” just let us exist in peace in the bikini!
👏🏼
wear the suit & skip the speech queen, OWN THE BODY YOU ARE IN.

MOMS WANT TO HAVE FUN TOO!!! 💛🌊🌴 vacation hits different with kids, there’s no sugarcoating that but if I don’t commit to feeling like the best version of myself in the tough seasons too, what example am I setting for them?

#LTKTravel

all of my signature butter yellow in stores this season has me swooning 🧈

#LTKMidsize #LTKootd

fashion should provide a feeling and if it’s not absolutely lighting you up when you put it on bestie, it doesn’t deserve space. EMBRACE THE BODY YOU ARE IN BABE 🔥

#LTKootd #LTKMidsize #LTKTravel

the Kenny Chesney residency had me feeling inspired for an island vibe and I felt so happy with how colorful and confident my final outfit turned out!
🌺
would you babes have gone hat or no hat?
dress one or fit two?
🍹
the thing about fashion is that while it’s fun to involve others in the process, at the end of the day I will be wearing what makes ME feel best. the other app has been giving me a lot of opinions on this one and IDGAF! they’re trolling me from a keyboard while I stand front row 🤌🏼

#LTKootd #LTKMidsize

movement is a privilege, not a punishment so start dressing like it bestie! ditch the black leggings and welcome some color back into our life, you’ll thank me later 🥰

#LTKootd #LTKfitnessgoals #LTKMidsize

which one should I wear besties?! 🪩❤️‍🔥🎰

#LTKootd #LTKMidsize

I don’t have much to say right now which is highly unlike me, it’s a struggle to show up and to feel anything even remotely like myself but we’re doing it. we can do hard things. you’re not alone, you’re safe here & I see you 💛

#LTKMidsize #LTKmomlife #LTKootd

dancing & dressing my way out of ppd because we’ve been here before and I refuse to live here any longer 🥹 that being said, if you’ve also been here before or are living here now, this experience is so layered and cannot be understood by many so I want you to know you’re seen & safe here 🫶🏻

#LTKmomlife #LTKMidsize #LTKootd

imagine a world in which bigger bodies were the blueprint. 🤍

not the afterthought. not the extended size add-on. Not the “we’re working on it.”

the BLUEPRINT.
👏🏼
every silhouette. every veil. every walk down that aisle.

this is what bridal has always been missing and today, that changes thanks to @emma.arletta & @giasinatra commitment to shifting the narrative and expanding the runway and the retail.

what a gift it was to exist so freely in this room 💫 @gia_irl bridal is here!!! for every body that was told to wait, shrink, or settle.

your dress. your day. your runway.

I welcomed color and flare back into my wardrobe without sacrificing function and comfortability and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for my soul, dopamine dressing!!!
🦋
active dresses are so ideal for mom days, errands, theme parks, travel, etc and can be styled so many ways bestie!

#LTKootd #LTKMidsize #LTKmomlife

so much of style is trial & error and one of the most vital pieces of building unshakable, unapologetic confidence is knowing that it won’t always be a win! and it is not because of your body. BRING COLOR & CONFIDENCE INTO YOUR LIFE 💖

#LTKootd #LTKMidsize #LTKmomlife

not to mention the confidence and love I have for my postpartum belly, cellulite, stretch marks and the joy I exist in day to day having zero desire to lose weight 👏🏼

not all of us care about a snatched waist or a thigh gap. some of us just want to do what’s necessary to play with our kids and carry a suitcase to Europe when we’re 80. skinny is not a trend and your body is not an aesthetic, it’s your HOME. start caring for it like one 💛

Here are my 3 non negotiables when it came to finding my style again postpartum
🦋 if it’s not colorful, I don’t want it! color sparks joy, and in a season of transition and beyond it makes all the difference and makes me feel more myself

💛 if it doesn’t fit my lifestyle, it won’t get worn. 95% of the time my life requires comfortable, functional fashion as a mom of two boys, lean in to that.

🫶🏻 step out of your comfort zone. some of the styles I never thought I could wear have become my most worn outfits.

#LTKootd #LTKMidsize #LTKmomlife

progress does not come from goals or perfection, it comes from CONSISTENCY. you do not have to be training for a marathon or a hyrox to find joy in movement, and you do not have to prove anything to anyone but yourself.
🤌🏼
3 reminders I tell myself that might help you if you’re starting to move your body again and unsure of what that means to you:
💛 it’s me against me.
🦋 i am not earning, I am engaging.
🔥 if it makes me miserable, it’s not meant for me.

practicing what works for YOU will change your life.

#LTKfitnessgoals #LTKmomlife #LTKMidsize

serving up an Aerie-real summer in the body you’re in ☀️ I tried on the summer wardrobe so you don’t have to bestie 🌊comfy, confidence-boosting, and actually wearable for real life!

#LTKmomlife #LTKMidsize #LTKSwim

learning how to style my body type postpartum, bringing color back into my wardrobe and actually filling my closet with pieces that fit my day to day lifestyle has changed the way I approach getting dressed 🤌🏼

it’s not your body babe…it’s how you’re dressing it! simple outfits can still be chic without being built around black leggings or oversized everything, welcome to the party 🪩
