Instagram/Revlon

Body shaming and stereotypes can last a lifetime… First we suffer through the mean boys and girls in school, then we graduate to the backhanded compliments at work and in our social lives. 

But things are changing. Plus-size women are covering men's magazinespole dancing to rock climbing) on Instagram; and curve bloggers are killing the style game.   

That said, let's review some of the things people think we can't/shouldn't do. And let's also smash them to smithereens.

Our bodies don't look good in motion. Dancing isn't for us.

Just because we're big doesn't mean we aren't bendy! Our bodies can be conditioned to anything we want.

Magazine covers? Never.

We'll rock a print, we'll slay a neon, and we won't think twice about what anyone thinks about it.

Fashion rules are dumb. Style is about personal expression.
