Plus Size Athleisure

I LOVE athleisure. I've always dressed sporty. But now that we are all stuck at home, athleisure is my productive loungewear look. I can't wear loungewear all day, it makes me sleepy for some reason. Athleisure is just one moment away from a good work out or school pick up. I feel so put together in Athleisure vs Loungewear.

My absolutely favorite athleisure plus size brand is Zella. Zella is a owned brand by Nordstrom. Because its Nordstrom private label, they are always running great sales on it. And they don't skip on quality!! I've had pairs of Zella leggings for YEARS that are still in great condition. In fact I had a pair of Zella maternity leggings that I LIVED in when I was pregnant.

YOU NEED THE TWISTED HEM SHIRT! Its SO SO SO flattering! And is currently on a great sale!!

I've included some of my favorite active wear items for plus size, midsize, and curvy bodies below.

The goal of style isn't to look skinny

Let those words sink in. The goal of style isn't to look skinny. How many times have we just LOVED something but then didn't wear it? What was keeping you from wearing it? Was it because you didn't like how your body looked in it? I can't tell you how many times in my life I've skipped over a trend because it wasn't flattering to my body.

I can't tell you how many times I didn't wear the shorts because I didn't like the jiggle of my legs showing. I can't tell you how many times I didn't wear a front tuck because I didn't want anyone to see the line of my belly. BUT I LOVE A FRONT TUCK! I liked how it looked on my body, but I just didn't want you to see my fat tummy. I used to wear shapewear tank tops under all of my clothes in order to slim my stomach even more. Despite the fact that I could barley breathe in them, as long as it made you more comfortable with my body, then I'd be uncomfortable in mine.

Not anymore. First of all, I grew two humans inside of my body. So yes my stomach sticks out and it forsure jiggles when I walk. It's a blessing. I got to carry my babies inside of my body. HUMANS LIVED HERE. And last and most important, its not my job to make my body smaller so you can be more comfortable.

FRONT TUCKS FOR LYFE!

so what is midsize?

We know Plus Size and Regular size so well. Both of those options are served to us within the fashion world on a regular basis. The reality is that the average size women is a size 16. The average size woman is often neglected and left out. She sits somewhere between a regular size and plus size body. But yet so many women fit into the midsize range.

I classify myself as midsize, because I'm a solid size 14. Meaning I can wear clothes from regular size brands and from plus size brands. You will see me share things for plus size and midsize options. I will always link a plus size option, even if I'm in the midsize option. I want to be as size inclusive as I can be! I've been a size 20 and I have worked for a major plus size brand, I know how to dress a plus size body!
